Electric vibrating massagers and battery powered massagers are very often used to massage and stimulate aching and hardened muscles to get relief from the pain caused by them. However these vibrating massagers have become to be identified as sex toys over a period of time. The performance of the electric vibrating massager is better then the battery powered vibrating massager. Electric vibrating massager is considered more powerful than the battery powered vibrating massager for obvious reasons. The motor used in an electric vibrating massager is bigger then the motor used in a battery powered vibrating massager. The electric powered vibrating massager was initially produced to perform the larger body and muscle message and marketed as such, but people soon found other use of them and were labeled as sex toys. Nevertheless the manufacturers still market them as muscle massagers. The electric vibrating massager is very popular as a sex toy than a body and muscle massager. It uses an alternating current source as its power supply whereas the battery powered vibrating massager uses AA batteries which are much smaller and give out less power than an alternating current source. The other advantage of the electric powered vibrating massager is that the head of the vibrator is connected directly to the electric motor which is not the case with battery powered vibrating massager. There is an indirect transfer of power in the battery vibrator resulting in a slight loss of power as compared to the electric vibrator. This results in stronger vibrations from an electric vibrator.

The sensations caused by an electric powered vibrating massager are much more powerful and intense than that of a battery powered vibrating massager. These powerful vibrations produce intense sensations which most of the people are unable to withstand especially women who use a padding to absorb part of the vibrations and reduce the intense sensations. If you are not comfortable with the vibrations they can be minimized as per your body acceptance level by getting attachments along with the vibrator made of soft material like silica, jelly or rubber.

The disadvantage with an electric powered vibrating massager is that it is not portable as the battery powered vibrating massager is. Once the electric powered vibrating massager is fixed in to a socket moving it to another location is difficult as the socket in another location may not be at the desired location or it may not be there at all.

Though there are a number of manufacturers of electric vibrating massagers but Hitachi, Wahi and Acuvibe electric vibrating massagers are the most popular ones in the market. The quality of the electric vibrating massager has to be of top quality as they have to act both as body and muscle massagers. Low quality vibrators also available in the market but then you are at peril of owning them. It is but natural that high quality electric vibrators will be little more expensive than the low quality electric vibrators.
