SAN FRANCISCO – Because not everyone can — or wants to — afford a $200 vibrator, epi24 has engineered a $99 version of its popular Womanizer.

Offering eight intensity levels and a waterproof, silicone housing, the Womanizer Pro40 uses the same patented PleasureAir Technology that has made the higher-end Womanizers popular. The device’s indirect stimulation has been compared to oral sex.

“The $99 Womanizer is ideal for those who want to experience the Womanizer brand at an introductory price point,” epi24 USA spokesperson Morgan Rossi said. “It’s still a Womanizer, so it’s guaranteed to help women experience an entirely different orgasm — often multiple times — and most importantly, without desensitizing the clitoris.

“It’s also great for those who are new to sex toys and want to experiment with a trusted brand,” Rossi added.

Among the Pro40’s notable features are stimulation heads in six sizes, a rechargeable lithium battery and a two-year warranty.
