Our Excitement Builds for Hysteria, Film Opens May 18th

We couldn’t think of anything better than a romantic comedy about the invention of the vibrator that addresses the issues about women’s right to control their bodies. Hysteria, starring Maggie Gyllenhaal and Hugh Dancy, opens in theaters on May 18th and we’ll be there! Literally. Claire Cavanah, Babeland’s co-founder, is doing an introduction to the 9:30pm showing at the Sunshine Cinema on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. She’ll showcase vibrators from Babeland’s vintage vibe collection and show their modern day counterparts. If you’re in New York City, please join us there. The first 50 ticket holders also get a sexy surprise with a Babeland Gift Bag.

Make a Date Of It
Plan a date night and go see Hysteria with your lover. After the movie, stop by Babeland with the glow of the romantic-comedy in you and show us your ticket stub to get 15% off your purchase. You can check out our Vintage Vibes Exhibits in our stores in Brooklyn, SoHo and Seattle and learn more about the evolution of the vibrator, then pick out sexy new toys to take home and try out. The offer extends through June 30th in all stores.

If you want to learn more about the history of the vibrator and why it passed in and out of social acceptance, visit our Vintage Vibes Museum for information, interviews, and images of toys from our collection.
