Yves Behar seems determined to push below-the-belt product innovation these days. Last August he launched a new line of eco-friendly underwear; now he’s teamed up with the adult-toy company Jimmyjane to create an ergonomic vibrator called the Form 2. The compact design features two flexible vibrating “ears” that move independently, for an effect dubbed “sensation in stereo.” Scandalized? For what it’s worth, Behar notes in a recent press release that the Form 2–nicknamed Little Perky–conceals “a number of engineering, material and manufacturing breakthroughs.” And there are further breakthroughs on the way: Behar and Jimmyjane will be unveiling Forms 3 and 4 next March and May, respectively.
