So this may sound strange to most people, but I'm allergic to vibrating stimuli such as wand massagers, motorcycles, jets in the spa, and sometimes even running. I get splotchy and start scratching like crazy. I mean tearing my skin off itchy. Is there anyone else out there who knows what it's like?
                    
                    
                    Anyone allergic to vibration?

                        And by the way, antihistamines help so I can't be crazy... I hope.

                        Oh man! Hey, it might be because the vibrations are so high pitched and buzzy because I get red and itchy on my... ahem... vulva when I'm using super strong, but high-pitched and buzzy vibrations! Nothing intense at all though. Just makes my skin itch. I don't think it's any allergy though.

                        You're not alone, it happens to me sometimes; the condition is called "Vibratory Urticaria".

                        I do this when running power tools....so I had to stop and improvise at work. I bought a panel saw to cover the skill saw part, etc....lighter vibrations do not bother me at all.

                        Maybe it is something about the materials that the toy is made of, rather than the vibrations?

                        i think that's pretty common with power tools. i forgot what it's called... white hand or blue hand, something do do with hands.

                        I get mild irritation if I apply too much pressure with a toy that has high pitched buzzing.  Have you tried toys that are deeper and rumblier?  I've found that lower pitched vibrations are much less irritating for me personally
