It makes a really attractive necklace". This product embodies the ("attractive necklace") and the crave (it's "a strong slim vibrator") while looking forward to AR (as a piece of wearable tech). It’s a "little secret" worn in plain sight—a piece of technology designed to be more alluring precisely because it is integrated seamlessly into daily life.
