The Pacinian corpuscles are responsible for the perception of rapid vibrations, such as you would experience when using a hand-held massager.

In the bone periosteum, joint capsules, pancreas and other viscera, breast, and genitals, Pacinian corpuscles are found deep in the dermis of both glabrous and hairy skin. They are structurally similar to Meissner's corpuscles. They are fast adapting mechanoreceptors that detect high-frequency vibration and deep brief (but not persistent) pressure. By being crushed, The pacinian receptors sense vibration and pressure by stimulating their internal dendrites. Skin has less Merkel's disks and Meissner's corpuscles than Pacinian corpuscles and Ruffini endings.
