1. A massager, comprising:
- a first end configured to be held and manipulated by the hand of a user;
a second end configured for application to a portion of the human body, the second end comprising at least two flexible members extending away from the first end and having the tip of each member providing a point of vibration by way of a source of vibrational motion that is disposed within the second end and distal from the tips, wherein the members can be manipulated to apply stimulation to the same point on the human body and can also be maneuvered to apply simultaneous stimulation in different points; and
a flexible portion connecting the first end to the second end, wherein the flexible portion comprises a flexible substructure andwherein the flexible substructure further comprises a boot and the flexible substructure has a Shore durometer value higher than a Shore durometer value of the boot.
