"I keep my butterfly close when you don't wanna be bothered."
--Missy Elliott on 'Toyz,' from This is Not a Test!
When it's time to work it, Missy Elliott reaches for her butterfly--a popular style of vibrator shaped to resemble the fluttery insect. "They're small, powerful, and designed to stimulate the clitoris," says Claire Cavanah, cofounder of Toys in Babeland, a chain of sex-toy specialty shops that carries the gratifying gadgets, which retail from $28 - $94 and feature everything from elastic leg straps to music-controlled vibrations. Now that's a magic stick.
