In short

External motors were tested with internal chips, while later braces also explored vibration without a urethral insert.

Mr. Okada changed designs when fit, waterproofing, bleeding, and skin irritation caused problems.

The current list includes the fabric sleeve, but does not confirm the historical wearable assemblies.

What happens: external prostate vibration

The OK Prostate Chip is a device placed in the urethra (urine passage) to act on the prostate. The diary's external prostate vibration designs place the motor outside that passage, aiming to carry movement to an internal chip. Some versions use connecting wire; others involve a wearable support near the penis base. Later entries also describe an external brace that Mr. Okada tested without a urethral insert.

Motor fit problems prompted an external prostate vibration proposal

In an entry published in August 2019, a customer reported that a vibrating chip's motor section would not fit. Mr. Okada returned a version with a thinner motor section. The diary does not record whether the returned chip fitted.

He proposed a double fabric sleeve holding the penis and vibrating chip separately, with vibration applied from the pubic side. Its planned price was ¥1,500 (about $10 at ¥156 = $1, rate as of 2026-09-04) before tax, as published in August 2019. Mr. Okada discouraged prolonged rectal use because the chip shifted as stool descended, making the vibration stressful.

An external prostate vibration prototype travelled dangerously far inward

An entry published in October 2021 described a wire-driven prototype without a stopper (a part intended to limit inward travel). Mr. Okada reported that it could pass beyond the prostate and deep into the bladder. A wire-specific stopper was quoted at ¥1,000 (about $6 at ¥156 = $1, rate as of 2026-09-04) before tax, with the wire diameter required for the order.

In a later entry published in October 2021, he suspended that prototype's development after unexplained bleeding. He also cautioned that the connecting wire could break.

Wearable vibration rings proved difficult to fit as size changed

In an entry published in January 2022, Mr. Okada described competing problems with silicone rings. He reported that stretched rings could restrict blood flow, while larger rings could slip off when the penis shrank. His revised ring combined silicone with an adjustable fabric section.

The controller (the unit governing vibration) sat behind the testicles, while a fabric penis sleeve held the cable. Mr. Okada cautioned against tolerating an overly tight fit.

Skin irritation prevented the wearable vibration controller from reaching production

In an entry published in November 2022, Mr. Okada reviewed repeated tests of a controller secured near the testicle roots. He reported mild skin irritation after about 3 days of continuous wear. He wondered whether his own sensitive skin contributed, without establishing a cause.

These were his personal tests, and the entry does not record customer results for that controller arrangement. Mr. Okada wrote that the recurring irritation had prevented him from turning it into a product.

Exposed wires changed the later external prostate vibration prototype

In an entry published in February 2026, Mr. Okada reported weakened vibration after extending a covered connection to 15 cm. He suspected the thicker wires and closely fitting cover were suppressing movement. The next prototype omitted the cover and used separated, parallel nitinol wires (the springy wire material described in the diary).

His 15 cm prototype left the motor outside in his test, while a shorter version accommodated it near the penis head. He presented an external motor as an option for people whose motor section would not fit internally. Mr. Okada described the exposed-wire design as unsuitable for people with metal allergies.

The maker's answer to external prostate vibration

Mr. Okada pursued external motors and wearable supports, while abandoning designs that caused problems in his tests.

A failed internal motor prompted interest in external prostate vibration

In an entry published in October 2021, a customer reported that an 8 mm motor stopped working after its casing was reduced. Much of the motor's metal had become exposed. Mr. Okada suspected that waterproofing had been lost; the entry does not confirm the cause.

The diary does not record whether that customer's motor was repaired. Mr. Okada proposed an external vibration source for people whose motor section would not fit.

A ring vibrator replaced plans to waterproof the internal prototype

In an entry published in October 2021, Mr. Okada abandoned waterproofing a flat internal motor with resin (a chip-making material). Instead, his motor-free chip assembly used a ring vibrator (a vibrating ring worn at the penis base) as its external source. His proposed charges for a 3-chip assembly were ¥3,000 (about $19 at ¥156 = $1, rate as of 2026-09-04) before tax for thread and wire replacement.

Adding wire alone to a new purchase was quoted at ¥1,500 (about $10 at ¥156 = $1, rate as of 2026-09-04). OK Lab did not plan to sell the external vibrators at that time. Mr. Okada favored external sources that could transfer movement effectively to the wire-linked assembly.

Wire links carried external prostate vibration but retained breakage concerns

In an entry published in October 2021, Mr. Okada described a shoulder-supported vibrator pressing from behind the scrotum. He reported that wire-connected chips carried movement through the assembly toward its leading chip. Without an internal chip, he considered the effect comparable to an external anal-area vibrator.

A separate construction described in that entry used parallel wires and nylon connections because he could not eliminate wire-breakage risk. Mr. Okada's caution was that the wire could still fail.

External prostate vibration reached a brace tested without urethral inserts

In an entry published in March 2023, Mr. Okada described an external brace with a perineal bar (a support pressing behind the scrotum). He attributed its stability to pressure at both ends of the supported area. He reported that its aluminum bar carried vibration, with the pubic area vibrating too.

This design could work without a urethral insert in his account. He did not recommend the brace without its perineal bar and cautioned that differences in penis size and firmness could affect the result.

A dedicated external vibrator system addressed power and attachment problems

In an entry published in April 2023, Mr. Okada described a system offering battery or USB power and multiple motor connections. Its basic set contained a 3-battery box, 120-mode controller, and cylindrical motor, priced at ¥5,000 (about $32 at ¥156 = $1, rate as of 2026-09-04) before tax. He preferred the cylindrical shape because an egg-shaped motor could slip out of the brace.

The same entry listed a 2 m extension cable at ¥1,000 (about $6 at ¥156 = $1, rate as of 2026-09-04), a USB splitter cable at ¥1,500 (about $10 at ¥156 = $1, rate as of 2026-09-04), and a USB-equipped egg-shaped motor at ¥1,000 (about $6 at ¥156 = $1, rate as of 2026-09-04). Those accessory prices were also before tax, as published in April 2023. Mr. Okada specified waterproof motors because the attached parts would be exposed to water.

Longer external prostate vibration connections carried different historical surcharges

An entry published in February 2026 quoted twin-wire additions to the ordinary vibrating chip price. The extra charge was ¥5,000 (about $32 at ¥156 = $1, rate as of 2026-09-04) up to 10 cm, ¥6,000 (about $38 at ¥156 = $1, rate as of 2026-09-04) up to 15 cm, or ¥8,000 (about $51 at ¥156 = $1, rate as of 2026-09-04) up to 20 cm, all before tax. These were add-on prices, rather than complete-device prices.

The offered choices included 0.3 mm or 0.4 mm wires and 8 mm or 10 mm motors, with ceramic chips only. Mr. Okada warned that 0.4 mm connections generally could not accommodate twisted or raised-bump chip shapes.

If you see blood in your urine, even a small amount or for the first time, do not wait and see. See a urologist right away. If you suddenly cannot urinate, or the device cannot be removed, do not try to fix it yourself. Go to a medical facility, including emergency care, immediately.

Common worries about external prostate vibration

Readers asked about motor placement, fabric holders, and whether an external vibrator could remain attached.

"Can wearable vibration use several motors inside a fabric sleeve?"

In an entry published in December 2021, a contributor requested a fabric sleeve containing 8 motors, with their cables enclosed too. Mr. Okada considered a fully enclosed design awkward to wear and wash. He proposed 4 motor-holding rings and a separate cover sleeve instead.

The diary does not record the completed system's performance for the requester. Mr. Okada favored separate fabric and motor parts for easier washing.

"Could an external vibrator work near the penis head?"

In an entry published in May 2022, a customer requested an 8 mm motor 24 cm from the chip, targeting the penis head. OK Lab asked about the intended placement, and the customer confirmed an external target before the design was agreed. Mr. Okada reported that the completed motor vibrated the chip through its wire connection across 23 cm.

The diary does not record how that completed custom unit felt to its customer. OK Lab's reply cautioned that the extra connections would make the motor about 2 mm thicker.

"Could a wearable vibrator stay attached to the retaining piece?"

In an entry published in November 2022, a reader asked whether the redesigned retaining piece could still support an external vibrator. Earlier in that exchange, Mr. Okada abandoned general sales of the testicle-binding version because managing testicular pressure proved too difficult. He first proposed a flatter form, then changed to a cross arrangement after sideways movement appeared.

For the resulting design, he added a tube intended to hold the vibrator without hands. The correspondent welcomed the changes, but sales arrangements had not been decided in that entry. Mr. Okada cautioned that vibration could dislodge the vibrator from uncoated resin, whereas silicone improved grip.
