    No I just learned on YouTube to never put vibrators on your neck. There are arteries there, and you can fuck up your blood flow to the brain. Fainting, blood clots, death possible.

      … What?

      Seriously?

      I don’t mean like, jam it into your neck to the point it restricts blood flow, or restricts your actual trachea, restricts airflow.

      I mean like, lightly touch it to your adams apple, or where that would be if you don’t have one.

      … Can you send me your source on this?

      If what you are saying is true, then massage guns of all kinds would basically cause blood clots, and I’m pretty sure they don’t.

      Like yeah you can potentially restrict blood/air flow if you grip or press around the wrong/right areas with enough force… but yeah, I am incredulous at the idea of vibrators being able to cause blood clots.

      Maybe if you have some conditions or disorder where you have exceptionally weak capillaries, they could cause bruising, …

      … but like, I’ve been using a massage gun on my neck/shoulder blade for over a year now as part of a doctor / phys therapist designed phys therapy routine for me to recover from a set of injuries, and they’ve never risen any concerns about this, and I’ve never fainted nor developed blood clots from this (get my bloodwork every couple of months).
