Self tickling for tummies

[MindOverWhatMatters]

I’ve seen a few good tickle tools on Etsy, and there are some great tools that have strong, quick vibrations (which are great for light tickles).

I’m surprised that there aren’t more options for self tickling.

For example, it would be great to lay down with my arms above my head, and have a contraption that is placed over my belly that could provide strong vibrations in a randomized pattern.

I love light tickles, but I’m not really ticklish, so I don’t get tickled often.

This is my plea to all the tickle toy designers out there.

I once touched a handheld massager to my stomach, and it tickled enough to make me laugh. That was the only "self-tickling" I've ever experienced. And I'd guess if I'd tried it again, expecting it, it wouldn't have worked.

It's not an easy thing to pull off.

I've found tools seem to work better than fingers generally for self-tickling. It tricks the body to some extent into thinking someone else is doing the tickling. I've never used anything for harder tickles (except maybe a scrub brush on my foot) but I would think vibrating things could be promising especially if you're stretched out. Fingernails, claws, grooming gloves, etc. would also potentially work. Worth a try!
