This New Vibrator Tech Gives You A Buzz When Your Food Arrives & It Sums Up The Pandemic

Has science gone too far... or is this genius?

New technology for Bluetooth-enabled sex toys links your vibrator to your favourite food delivery app, alerting women to the stage of the delivery — all through clitoral vibrations.

No, this is not a joke! And yes it's compatible with all Bluetooth-enabled vibrators in Quebec. CamSoda, an adult entertainment webcam platform based in New York, calls the technology "Grubuzz."

"The vibration frequency starts slowly when someone’s order is received by the restaurant and progressively increases when the driver leaves the restaurant with the order, drives closer to their residence and arrives at their door," said Brett Hogan, a CamSoda spokesperson. 

So how does it work? Users get a custom email address from CamSoda, which they use as their sign-up email for Uber Eats, DoorDash or the food delivery platform of their choice. Email updates are then translated into vibrations via Bluetooth. 

Grubuzz uses clitoral vibration technology, so it's currently only available for people with female genitalia — however, Hogan said a male version will debut in the coming months.
