BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] This invention relates to the field of vibrating devices used for sexual stimulation. More specifically, the invention comprises a molded cap which can be attached over the bristles of an electric toothbrush. [0003] 2. Description of the Related Art [0004] The use of sexual aids such as vibrators of various designs and configurations is known in the prior art. These devices are typically phallic in shape (although unconventional shapes are also employed in the prior art) and are commonly used to stimulate the erogenous zones of the body including the external and internal genitalia. Some sexual aids employ a vibrating mechanism to increase the sexual stimulation provided by the device. These sexual aids are often referred to as vibrators. [0005] It is often desirable for a vibrator to be transportable so that the user can bring the device with them when they travel. Since conventional vibrators employ internal batteries and a motor to create the vibrating motion of the device, the devices can be discovered during luggage screening at airports and in other places where luggage screening is employed. The discovery of a vibrator in these circumstances can create an uncomfortable and embarrassing situation for people who prefer to keep their use of sexual aids private. BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0006] The present invention overcomes the problems of the prior art by providing a vibrating device which is discreet and transportable. The invention comprises a molded plastic cap which is adapted to fit over the bristles of the head of an electric toothbrush. The cap features knob-like protrusions for enhanced stimulation. [0007] In one embodiment, the cap features a groove for secured attachment of the cap to the toothbrush. [0008] Another embodiment provides for the use of an adhesive for permanent attachment of the cap to the toothbrush. [0009] The invention provides all of these features, advantages, and objects along with others that will become apparent with reference to the following description and accompanying BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE SEVERAL VIEWS OF THE DRAWINGS [0010] FIG. 1 is a perspective view, showing an electric toothbrush.

Electric toothbrush 38 is generally composed of grip 26 and wand 28. Aside from serving as means for holding the toothbrush while a user brushes their teeth, grip 26 also serves as a housing for an internal motor and power supply. Most electric toothbrushes are powered by replaceable batteries, but some have an internal rechargeable power source. Grip 26 also generally features an on/off switch which allows the user to actuate the internal motor. Continue reading about Vibrating toothbrush attachment...
