A massager ( 12 ) includes an inductively chargeable battery ( 48 ), avoiding the need to deal with batteries and cords while providing a pleasant exothermic warmth. Different embodiments of sealing and skinning ( 13 ) make the massager ( 12 ) hygienically safe and fluid- and water-resistant. Sophisticated controls ( 50 ) provide the massager with the ability to respond to direct-mounted user controls ( 20, 22 ), wireless communication controls such as remote controls ( 30 ) and a plethora of other protocol-compatible devices, systems and media. A mating base ( 14 ) supports the massager ( 12 ) for inductive charging in a stable, aesthetically pleasant and safe relationship. |
