Solution Overview

Problem

The market lacks a high-quality, unisex sexual stimulation device that combines the enjoyment of a hot shower with sexual play, with existing options posing health and safety risks due to sharp edges, bacterial growth, and lack of vibratory options, and being overly exclusive or penetrative.

Innovation Solution

A non-penetrative, vibrating showerhead device removably coupled to a handheld shower hose, featuring smooth contours, easy cleaning, and made of body-safe materials, with rechargeable batteries and adjustable vibration intensity, designed for external genital stimulation and use by all genders, including simultaneous stimulation for two bodies.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If a standard handheld showerhead is repurposed as a sex toy, then it can provide water-based stimulation, but it may contain sharp edges or protrusions that can harm the user and harbor dangerous bacteria

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewater-based stimulationVSAvoidsharp edges and bacterial growth
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The device is divided into separate functional components: a showerhead body for water delivery, a removable vibrator for stimulation, and a connector for shower hose attachment. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently - the showerhead body can have smooth contours while the vibrator provides targeted stimulation, and both can be easily cleaned or replaced.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The vibrator is designed as a removable component that can be separated from the showerhead body. This extraction allows the vibrator to be easily removed for cleaning or replacement, prevents bacterial growth in hard-to-reach areas, and enables the showerhead body to be cleaned independently without disassembly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Ease of operation

If penetrative devices are used for shower-based stimulation, then they can provide direct internal stimulation, but they require insertion into vagina or anus which renders them overly exclusive

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedirect internal stimulationVSAvoidinclusivity across different bodies
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The device is designed with a universal external stimulation interface that can be used by any gender and for any sexual orientation. The vibrator and water jet configuration can stimulate external genitalia of all bodies, including clitoris, while the detachable design allows adaptation for different users and situations without requiring penetrative insertion.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The device features dynamic adjustability through multiple vibration intensity levels controlled by a regulator, and the ability to switch between different water flow patterns. This dynamics allows the same device to adapt to different users' needs and preferences, enhancing inclusivity while maintaining effectiveness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Ease of operation

If conventional stimulatory devices use disposable batteries, then they can provide vibration for stimulation, but they are less convenient and less eco-friendly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevibration for stimulationVSAvoidbattery replacement requirement
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Instead of discarding disposable batteries after use, the device incorporates a rechargeable battery system that can be recovered and recharged multiple times. The rechargeable battery eliminates the need for continuous battery replacement, reducing waste and improving convenience through simple charging via USB or charging cable.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #34Discarding and recovering

4Adaptability or versatility

If the device has multiple folds or crevices for structural complexity, then it can accommodate various shapes and functions, but bacteria could potentially breed in these areas making it hard to clean

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveshape accommodationVSAvoidbacterial growth
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The device employs smooth, curved surfaces throughout its structure, particularly in the showerhead body and vibrator components. These curved surfaces eliminate sharp corners and flat areas where bacteria could accumulate, while still maintaining the necessary structural complexity and functional adaptability through strategic placement of water ports and vibration elements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #14Spheroidality (Curvature)

Solution Approach 2:

By separating the vibrator from the showerhead body, the design extracts the most difficult-to-clean component from the main structure. The vibrator can be easily removed and cleaned independently, or replaced entirely, preventing bacterial growth in complex internal areas while maintaining the overall structural integrity and functionality of the device.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)
