I don't believe that they are "very different portrayals" of the device. They are literally just the same device with the names altered so that one is suitable for a younger audience. Some massagers can look pretty phalic so perhaps the "neck massager" also resembled a black dildo? -Sigh- pure filth Paul Magrs! RadMatter 02:31, 14 February 2022 (UTC)
I must admit my assumption was that, even in the "censored" version, "Neck Massager" was to be understood as a polite euphemism, making this just a different name for the exact same device. In any event, sourcing conflicting information from different printings of the same story that are not different enough to warrant separate pages is always tricky.
