Users who bought vibrator app are begging iTunes to delete their purchase history
Apparently, there is no shame greater than a “personal massager” in your purchase history.

If you’ve ever had your phone resting between your legs and felt the strong, sensuous vibrations alerting you to a new text or email, and thought “Well, that’s rather pleasant,” then there’s an app for you. It’s iVibe Massage Lite, a free app available through iTunes that bills itself as “The First! The Best! The Original Vibrating iPhone App!”
Utilizing your phone’s vibrating feature, it turns the device into a “personal massager” with a single touch, eliminating the waiting time of buying a vibrator online and the embarrassament of having to go shopping for such a product at your local adult toy supplier. In a lonely moment, many have downloaded the app only to experience the shame that darkens the afterglow of pleasure.
The app currently enjoys 64 reviews in the iTunes store, boasting a rating of four and a half stars. But those stars are deceptive; they’re bribes rather than endorsements.
Many purchasers stick to the usual cliched excuses of teens caught with porn. “It was my friends, I swear!” or “I don’t know where it came from, my friend must have downloaded it.”
In futile attempts to bargin with either Apple or the app developer, Robot Mouse, LLC, most reviewers barter their five-star rating in hopes that the app will be redacted from their purchase history. Perhaps they’re fearful of their parents (whose credit cards are likely attached to their iTunes accounts) seeing the charge.
Today we salute you, embarrassed vibe-app purchasers. If only clearing your history were as easy as clearing your browser history. May you one day enjoy the sexual freedom of a society that doesn’t shame you for having a personal massager app on the home screen of your phone. Just make sure you practice safe vibrating!
