handheld massager

Personal muscle soother

A handheld massager is a portable device designed to knead, vibrate, or apply pressure to muscles for relaxation or pain relief.

Models range from simple battery-operated vibrators to sophisticated percussion therapy guns used by athletes.

The term sometimes serves as a euphemism for vibrators marketed as sex toys: The "personal massager" section was in a discreet corner of the store.
