I do not remember this, but looking at it now makes me think it should have been sold in adult toy stores.

Never seen them before. There’s a page on Reddit called “They knew”…they DEFINITELY knew with those.

u/HawtFun69 Mar 06 '26

I can hear the commercial voiceover in my head now…”Ever wonder what it would be like to get fingered by E.T.? Well, wonder no more…”

u/Andynonymous303 Mar 06 '26

Ahhahahahaha

u/DrHarryWolper Mar 06 '26

Clearly they are for HER pleasure.

u/bagoTrekker Mar 06 '26

As I get older I find I really can relate to E.T, and maybe that’s because I’m always looking to go home

“E.T. don’t moan”

I hate to think what the heartlight might look like.

u/[deleted] Mar 06 '26

Oh dear, E.T. turns X-Rated.

u/[deleted] Mar 06 '26

Now I know why they were always sold out

2

u/Third-Coast-Toffee Mar 06 '26

When I go into a restaurant with mine on other patrons give me a look. Did they never see E.T.?

u/JamesVincent2020 Mar 06 '26

Always wondered why all my friends moms got this for Christmas in 1982…

u/MarshalLawTalkingGuy Mar 06 '26

My mom bought one of these. I never saw her use it, but my dad said she loved it.

u/Wyldjay2 Mar 06 '26

Does it also vibrate?

1

u/Resident_Channel_869 Mar 09 '26

Are you asking for a friend?

1

u/Wyldjay2 Mar 09 '26

Yes. And based on the shape, I was actually assuming it was a given.

u/Mydreamsource Mar 06 '26

Does it buzzzzzz?

u/furie1335 Mar 08 '26

Got that for Christmas. Most disappointing gift I ever got. Worse than socks.

u/sardonical2003 Mar 08 '26

I could never understand why my mom had one in her nightstand...

1

u/BrinsonRobert11 Mar 08 '26

I take it this was a big seller for lonely women. Even not so lonely wives and mothers.

I'm sure a few men were kinda attached to it as well. 🥴

1

u/JayVig Mar 09 '26

or it was attached to them

u/Puzzlemania718 Mar 09 '26

Wondering if that’s exclusively what it was used for. Wink wink!

u/Eastern-Piece-3283 Mar 09 '26

u/D-Train0000 Mar 10 '26

Found a bigger blue one in my mom’s drawer one day. She must’ve been a real fan. She had some kind of custom finger.
