Pictures created by people who knew full well how they could be interpreted. For pictures to fit in here there needs to be an element of plausible deniability, although it can be a tenuous one...

Do we still have products that use completely different advertising on purpose like this ?

I think the Hitachi Magic Wand advertises (or rather used to advertise the last time I looked at it) itself as a muscle massager and doesn't mention anything sexual.

But it's probably the most popular wand vibrator people use

Because it was created and sold as a massager not a sex toy and it wasn’t intended to be used in anything sex related, but people used it for sex stuff and it is what popularised the product.

Hitachi rebranded it dropping the company name from the product.

I think, uh, I think that is actually a muscle massager

sure, women enjoy using it on one particular muscle between their legs

I've used it as an actual muscle massager when I slept wrong and my back is twisted up. It does an alright job, but there's probably a better design out there.
