The Slightest Touch device promise one thing - Orgasms "at the touch of a button". According to the makers, this device can give women longer, better and more intense orgasms. And the more interesting is, it can give orgasm without touching a woman's genital just by stimulating the body's sexual nerve pathway.
Women start by drinking an electrolyte sports drink 20 minutes before using the device.
They then apply two white electrode pads inside their ankles.
These pads are connected to the Slightest Touch device, which is about the size of a personal stereo.
"The Slightest Touch does not provide an orgasm," said Cherisse Davidson, the company's director of customer support.
"It gently stimulates the sexual nerve pathways taking the woman to a pre-orgasmic plateau where she dangles on the edge of orgasm for as long as she wants.
"From there, gentle stimulation can then effect the orgasm."
BBC News Online has been unable to get independent scientific verification that the product works.
But Ms Davidson, who first tested the device three years ago, insists it is effective.
"It can be of great benefit to many women," she told BBC News Online.
"I've been using mine for three years and I just love it."

An Australian man named Colin Campbell Ross was pardoned, only, 86 years after being executed by hanging to death in 1922. He was charged with murder and rape of a young girl and dumping her body in an alley in 1921. But only recently, new tests found evidence against him was flawed - which led to him being to be acquitted of the crime.
"This really is a tragic case where a miscarriage of justice has resulted in a man being hanged," Victoria's Attorney-General Rob Hulls said on Tuesday. "This pardon is a recognition that there are serious doubts about Mr Ross's conviction for murder." Australia is a strong opponent of the death penalty, with the last hanging taking place in Melbourne in 1967 when petty criminal Ronald Ryan was executed for his involvement in a prison escape, during which a prison guard was shot dead.

Surgeons managed to remove the 125-pound belly of a Russian woman name Natalya M. Her belly fat was 36 inches long and weighed 125 pounds. It hinders her from walking normally.
Natalya was overweight since 13, when she had hormonal disturbance. She tried all the existing diets, visited hundreds of doctors, but with no result. Years passed as her belly was growing larger and larger. Finally it became so huge that the woman literally had to stump it to make a step.
Oleg Strigin, the head of the department of surgery of the hospital, where the woman was rushed, said they don’t do such complicated surgeries often. He said there are 4 levels of the belly-growth: the inch of more than 4-inch length belongs to the 4th level. We’ve never seen the growth of 36 inches!
The growth-removing surgery lasted for many hours. The surgeons removed fat the weight of a grown-up woman.
This Day & Night watch is for the rich and not time conscious as this is the $300,000 watch that doesn’t tell time - only whether it’s day or night.
As the company’s Web site boasts: “With no display for the hours, minutes or seconds, the Day&Night offers a new way of measuring time, splitting the universe of time into two fundamentally opposing sections: day versus night.”
What’s most impressive about the Day&Night is its complexity, given its absolute uselessness. The watch features two tourbillons — devices that overcome the ill effects of earth’s gravity on a watch’s accuracy — connected by a differential mechanism. Instead of hands, the watch has a “contemplative tourbillon operation whereby the ‘Day’ tourbillon operates for 12 hours to symbolize working life, while the ‘Night’ tourbillon takes over afterward to represent an individual’s private time.”

Just what are they selling in Ebay these days? A 15 year old McDonalds French fry was sold at Ebay - for $10.50. This French fry has been in the seller's family car since 1993 to "christen" it.
The story begins in 1993 when I was just 15 years old. My father just bought a new SUV for the family. We never had a really nice car so he was proud of this. The day we drove it home we stopped at McDonalds for lunch. We went inside to eat because he did not want me to spill in the car. Obviously I was the kid that always did that. We finished up and I had a few fries left so I just brought them in the car with me. We all know what happed next. Of course I spilled the fries. Dad was not happy but hey who hasn't done that. What we decided to do (which is very weird I know) is to leave one fry under the seat to christen the car. That is where the story begins...
