The US Department of Veterans Affairs pulled the plug this month on a Biden-era initiative to supply vibrators to female vets.
Lawmakers and watchdogs says it’s only the latest out-of-touch proposal from the free-spending agency.
The off-the-shelf machines – called “Clitoral Therapy Devices” – were for the “clinical needs of impaired patient population” getting VA care, according to a government bid proposal reviewed by The Post.
The so-called CTDs had to be FDA-approved, operate on AAA batteries, and be “hand-held for female sexual dysfunction,” and small businesses were given an edge in fulfilling the contract, according to nationwide solicitations the VA issued in 2024 and reupped last July.
