-Intro/Use-

Olivia is a vibrator from the Entice line by Cal Exotics.  This vibe has a firm tip for targeted pleasure, but a flexible shaft to prevent discomfort when thrust.

Beginner friendly and easy to use, Olivia is a pretty simple vibrator that would be a great upgrade from a traditional style vibe.  When inserted, the slightly curved shaft and rounded head help connect with the G-spot, providing decent pressure without causing discomfort.  Since the shaft is so flexible, it can only provide lighter clitoral pressure unless you hold the tip itself.

Without a flared base, this vibrator isn’t anal safe.  There’s nothing to prevent it from accidentally slipping inside of you, so it’s best to keep it external if you’re not going to use it vaginally.  It’s not as versatile as a result, but you could certainly use it on your partner without using it anally.

When the battery cap is properly closed, it’s totally safe to use Olivia both in and out of the tub or shower without worrying about anything leaking inside the battery compartment.  It’s also helpful since it’s so much easier to clean as a result.

-Material/Texture-

Olivia is made from silicone and ABS plastic.  Both materials are body safe, non-porous, latex free, and phthalate free.  It can easily be cleaned with antibacterial soap for regular use, but can be sterilized by cleaning with a 10% bleach solution if you’re sharing with someone else.  Silicone is only compatible with water-based lubricants since other types could cause damage to the surface.  If you must use another type, make sure to spot test prior to slathering it on to make sure it doesn’t cause a negative reaction.

The surface of the silicone is very silky smooth.  It doesn’t drag across the skin, feels buttery smooth in your hands, and only picks up tiny particles that are easily wiped away.  If you feel like you need to use lubricant, a little goes a long way thanks to the already smooth surface.

The only texture on the toy is present on the end, the buttons, and the seam that runs the full length of both front and back of the vibe.  The seam isn’t obvious during use, but can be felt with your hands.  The end isn’t heavily textured, so it shouldn’t be an issue for those who aren’t crazy about texture, and the majority of the toy doesn’t have much so it would work best for those who enjoy smooth toys.

The end and base of the vibe are very firm, but the thinnest area of the shaft feels quite hollow and is easily manipulated.  It bends easily during use which is great because it’s less likely to ram against your cervix, but it might not provide firm enough G-spot pressure.

-Design/Size-

The overall look of Olivia is quite simple but attractive.  The end looks like the bud of a flower just starting to open up.  It’s a feminine design, that’s for sure, especially when you consider the color options available are pink, raspberry, and purple.  Though it’s cute to look at, it’s not at all discreet.  I don’t think you could pass this off as anything other than a vibrator.

The base of the toy has a gold colored battery cap, and just above that are the power buttons.  This is also the thickest area of the vibe, which is great because it’s easy to hold onto during use.  The size decreases for the center of the toy and then bulges for the end.  Even with the end being thicker than the the center, it’s still a reasonable size for most users.

The total length of the vibe is 6 1/2″, with 3 1/2″ of insertable length.  It’s fairly compact in size and would be suitable to travel with.  The girth is 1 1/4″ at the tip, 7/8″ at the thinnest point (in the center), and 1 13/4″ in diameter for the base.

-Functions/Controls-

Olivia is powered by 2 AAA batteries which aren’t included.  The cap easily twists off and a paper inside plainly marks how they should be inserted.  Once in place, you screw the cap back on, and you’re ready to power up the toy.  There are two buttons, one that turns the toy on and off, and one that cycles through the patterns.  The buttons are raised from the toy and can easily be felt, but don’t light up when turned on.

When you press the power button, you’re immediately on the first of 8 settings.  When you want to change it, you then have to press the function button.  Each press will take you to the next setting and will continuously cycle through with every press.  When you’re ready to turn the toy off, simply press the power button.

The 8 functions are:

1. Steady Low
2. Steady Medium
3. Steady High
4. Medium Pulse
5. Quick Pulse/Steady
6. Slow to Fast Pulsing
7. Various Pulsing
8. High Pulsing

The vibrations are more focused in the end of the toy, but can be felt throughout it.  They’re quite buzzy and might cause a numbing sensation during or after use.  The highest setting is average as far as power, but the light buzzing sensation doesn’t make it feel very strong.  If you’re a power queen, this won’t work for you at all.  At best this would work as a teasing toy.

The noise level is okay, but the highest setting is considerably louder than the rest.  It’s a high pitched hum that’s rather distracting.  If you’re using it internally the sound is quite muffled, but is much louder when using on external areas of the body.  No one would be able to hear you through a closed door if you had some noise in the room, but it would be obvious if you were in the same room with someone else.

-Packaging-

The packaging for Olivia is pretty common for Cal Exotics products.  It’s a thin cardboard box that features an image of the product on the front, and information about it on the back and both sides.  It’s not discreet, but it’s more tasteful than most.  When you open the package, the vibrator is inside a little bag and can freely move around inside the packaging.  It doesn’t include any information inside, so what’s on the package is the only information that comes with it.  It’s not great for storage since it’s so thin and wouldn’t hold up for long.  You can break it down and dispose of it as you normally would cardboard and store the vibrator in a small toy pouch.

-Experience-

When Olivia arrived at my door and I saw it took 2 AAA batteries, I immediately sighed, knowing it would probably be weak and buzzy.  It seems that AAA’s and weak vibrations go hand in hand, but I was willing to give it a shot anyway.

I thought the design looked really nice.  It was feminine without being too girly, which I could appreciate, but there was just something about the way it felt that kind of put me off.  The hollow center is a bit odd, and sort of gives it a cheaper feeling as a result.  It doesn’t really effect use, just bothers me.

When it came time to test the toy out, I couldn’t really feel disappointed by it since it worked exactly how I thought it would.  It met my expectations for a vibrator like this that runs on small batteries.  Just because it met my expectations, doesn’t mean I liked it.  I need deep, rumbly vibrations in order to climax, and this didn’t do much more me.  I thought the shape was nice, but I couldn’t apply enough pressure with it for me to fully enjoy.

Vibrations weren’t strong enough, flexibility worked against me, it just wasn’t the right product for me.  If you’re more sensitive to vibrations and don’t require a lot of pressure, this might work well for you.  Just because it didn’t suit my needs doesn’t mean it’s a horrible product.  I think someone looking to transition from a basic, straight vibrator would find this to be a nice option, but only if lighter vibrations are enough.

Luka from Bad Dragon

Pros:
- Fantasy themed
- Unique design
- Great shape
- Made from silicone
- Can be customized
Cons:
- Doesn’t come with storage pouch
- Smallest size might be too large for some
- Base is a little heavy
Overall:

-Intro/Use-

Luka the Otter is yet another fantastic fantasy dildo from Bad Dragon.  While I’m unsure how realistic it is (having never seen an actual otter penis), the wonderful design and attention to detail make it both pleasurable to use and beautiful to view.

The soft curve and bulged head are wonderful for G-spot stimulation, and the subtle texture of the shaft keeps your focus where it matters most.  The base is wonderful for a few different reasons, but does have one flaw.  Having a flat bottom and being fairly heavy, it’s really easy to place the dildo on a firm surface and ride it.  It’s truly fantastic for that use, but when you’re laying down and using the toy the hefty base makes thrusting a little tiring after a while.

Having a large base makes it safe for anal play as well since there’s no way for the toy to get sucked up inside of you.  I would imagine the curve and shape of the head would work well for P-spot stimulation, but I can’t say for sure since I don’t have one.  I can say the smoother shaft would be wonderful for backdoor play since it shouldn’t be too overwhelming as far as texture, but isn’t for anal beginners.  Even the smallest size is quite large, so keep that in mind.

You could use this dildo with a partner, but it’s not very harness friendly.  It would be challenging to find an o-ring that would be large enough, it’s very heavy, and the base is very thick.

-Material/Texture-

Luka is made from silicone which is a fantastic material for a sex toy since it’s body safe, latex free, non-porous, and phthalate free.  It can easily be washed with antibacterial soap and warm water for regular use (might need a soft bristled tooth brush for the base), and sterilized if you’re switching orifices or sharing with someone else.  You can boil for three minutes, use a 10% bleach solution, or place it on the top rack of your dishwasher.  Silicone is most compatible with water-based lubricants since other types could cause the surface to degrade.  It’s best to spot test a small area before using another type with the toy.

The surface of Luka is matte and attracts a fair amount of lint and hair.  Prior to use, you should rinse/wipe/wash the dildo to make sure it’s totally clean.  Along with attracting lint, it requires lubricant in order to slide easily across the skin.  Because there’s minimal surface texture (on the shaft), a little goes a long way and eliminates the dragging issue.

The texture is subtle on the shaft, having some vertical lines and a couple bulges, but it’s the base that draws the eye.  The base has all the wavy lines that give it a fur-like appearance.  It easily stands out from the smooth shaft, yet they compliment each other so well.  If you don’t care for a lot of texture, Luka will be a great fit for you.  It’s enough to stimulate without being overwhelming, and has a base that’s textured enough to make it a really interesting piece.

There are five options to choose from as far as firmness levels when purchasing your Luka; Soft, Medium, Firm, Split Firm, and Split Wide.  I chose firm for my Luka, and I’m really glad I did.  Normally when you think of a firm toy, you imagine it being quite rigid.  Not this silicone!  The firm still has a lot of give and flexibility to it.  When compared to my medium firmness Bad Dragon toys, you can tell the difference, but it’s not drastic.  If you’re not sure which firmness level would be best for you, you can always purchase a set of sample discs to see which one feels right for you.

-Design/Size-

Luka has all the familiar looking parts without being realistic.  It has the bulged head, girthy shaft, and a set of testicles on the base.  Bad Dragon did a fantastic job of making this one truly look like it hides within the furry base when flaccid, and extends from it once erect.

Though it doesn’t resemble a human penis, it’s quite obvious what it is and what it’s used for.  If someone were to see it laying around it would be hard to pass it off as anything other than a sex toy.

All the dildos available from Bad Dragon can be customized in a variety of different ways; firmness, size, color, and more.  Luka has the option of adding a cum tube (for an additional charge of $20), but doesn’t have the suction cup option that many of their other dildos have.

The color options available are nearly endless!  Some come with an additional charge, but are totally worth it when it comes to customizing your dildo to perfectly fit your tastes.  My Luka was done in a custom split fade which costs an additional $40, but it’s totally worth it.  I put in the colors I wanted and was amazed at how perfectly they matched it!  Just look!

Luka is available in four sizes, most of which are suitable only for those that have the title of ‘Size King’ or ‘Size Queen’.  Between the Small, Medium, Large, and Extra Large options, I chose Medium for mine.  Each dildo I have from Bad Dragon is in that size, but differ quite a bit.  Always make sure to check the measurements on the specific dildo you’re purchasing since they vary.

Luka is true to size and is gloriously large for those of us who enjoy a stretched feeling from time to time.  If you’re not used to penetration or prefer smaller toys in general, the small Luka might not even work out for you.  While it’s great to work on building up to larger toys, don’t push yourself.  Dildos like this are all about pleasure, and there’s nothing good about hurting yourself by pushing your limit too far.  Always properly warm up and use plenty of lubrication.  If you experience discomfort, stop and try again another time.  Already having an orgasm often helps (both with relaxing and self lubricating), to give yourself a little bit of time if it’s too much at first.

-Packaging-

Luka arrives sealed in a clear plastic bag surrounded by tissue paper, inside a discreet brown box.  Nothing about the packaging gives away the fun it contains.  There’s no paperwork included (apart from your order receipt), no storage pouch; just the dildo inside the bag.  You have to cut or tear the bag in order to remove your dildo, so it’s important to find a storage pouch that will accommodate the size of your toy.  A gallon sized Ziploc bag works well, but Liberator has some great toy pouches that are large enough to fit two of my medium Bad Dragon dildos inside of it.

-Experience-

Bad Dragon has yet to let me down.  Their dildos are all beautifully made and excite the imagination.  When Luka was first added to the site I was so impressed by the detail of the base and couldn’t get over how much it reminded me of actual fur.  The smoother shaft also grabbed my attention and I knew it had to be mine.  I was a little disappointed that I couldn’t add a suction cup, but it was still worth adding to my collection.

Though I have reviewed two other Bad Dragon dildos (Crackers and Nox), this was my first time customizing the colors.  When my package arrived and I pulled the toy out, my jaw dropped.  I was stunned by how accurately they colored my toy.  I had no idea they were capable of getting it so close to my vision, and they’ve managed to blow me away (a little more) as a result.

When I want to focus on a stretching sensation, I reach for Luka.  The light texture enhances pleasure without being a distraction, and the solid base stays in place really well.  The only downfall was how heavy the toy feels after a few minutes of thrusting.  This is where a willing partner comes into play.  You can lay back and relax while they do all the work!

Out of the three dildos I’ve received from Bad Dragon, each one has been a total hit in their own way.  If Luka doesn’t seem like a good fit for you, there are many other products that are likely to catch your eye.  Make sure you visit their site and shop around, you never know what amazing things you might find!

And be sure to check out my reviews for Crackers and Nox for more in depth information on the customizing options available.

Ida from LELO

Pros:
- Made from silicone
- Rechargeable (the vibrator itself)
- Designed for couples
- Variety in function
Cons:
- Anatomy specific
- Can cause discomfort during use
- Average vibrations/rotations
- Remote can be challenging
- Expensive
Overall:

-Intro/Use-

Ida, from the Insignia line by LELO, is a couples’ product that’s designed to be worn during intercourse.  There are several other products that are designed to be worn the same way, but this one is a little different.  Rather than just vibrating, Ida vibrates and rotates.

The probe is roughly the size of a finger and is where you experience the rotation.  When inserted and turned on, it’s supposed to provide a light rubbing motion as it sweeps against the G-spot and surrounding area, while also stimulating your partner’s penis.  The external part of the toy is flat on top and has a rounded area that connects with your body.  This is where the vibrations come from.  Internal rotation, external vibration; sounds pretty awesome, right?  There’s more.  The remote that comes with it also vibrates, letting your partner know exactly which setting they’re on, and allowing them to take advantage of the vibrations on their own body as well.

The Ida can be used for hands free solo play since it doesn’t need to be held in place, and remains secure when you use it with your partner.  The included remote makes it easier to change the settings during intercourse, but is a little tricky to figure out if you’ve never used a remote with SenseMotion technology (more on that later) before.

There are many different positions you can use the Ida in; Missionary, Cowgirl, Doggy Style, etc.  You have to figure out what works best for you and your partner since some positions might not be comfortable.  It’s important to note that this product was designed to be used mostly by heterosexual couples during intercourse, but it can be used by homosexual couples as well.  It can safely be inserted anally and used for P-spot stimulation, and female partners can take advantage of the separate vibrating pieces (Ida itself and the remote).

Though the charging port is exposed, it’s totally safe to use in and out of the water thanks to the design.  The port is sealed from the internal parts, so there’s no way for water to leak inside your toy and cause damage.

-Material/Texture-

Ida is made from both ABS plastic and silicone.  It’s body safe, non-porous, latex free, and phthalate free.  They’re both really safe materials because they can be disinfected (through a 10% bleach solution) if sharing with others or switching orifices.  These materials are compatible with water-based lubricant only as other types could cause damage to the silicone surface.

The plastic makes up the top of Ida, the battery cap on the remote, and the internal parts.  They are gold colored and very shiny/reflective.  The vibe itself has ‘LELO‘ on the top, and the remote also has the company name along with the insignia symbol and the dip that helps you remove the cap.

The silicone side of the remote has some texture to the surface for the buttons, but nothing apart from that.  The vibe itself is very smooth, having only some texture around the power button.  It doesn’t come in contact with your body, so it shouldn’t be an area of concern.

With velvety smooth silicone, Ida doesn’t have an issue with drag.  You might feel the need to lubricate the rotating arm prior to inserting, but it doesn’t require much and some might find it unnecessary.  Though it’s silky smooth, it does still collect small particles and lint and will need to be wiped down before using.

Both the remote and vibrator are very firm since the silicone is more of a skin over the toy than anything.  It doesn’t have any give, but has some flexibility to the rotating arm.  It should fit with just about anyone’s anatomy, but whether or not it connects property with your pleasure spots is a totally different story.

-Design/Size-

Ida is available in three color options; Black, Cerise, and Deep Rose.  I’m not sure why they chose two colors that were so similar, but there is some variety, and has one option that isn’t pink.

The overall design is familiar if you’ve seen couples’ toys before, but the external portion of the product makes it quite unique.  Rather than having a similar shape to the insertable part, it’s rounded and covers a broad area rather than focusing on the clitoris.  It’s great if you prefer broad stimulation, but it doesn’t connect well if your clitoris isn’t easily exposed.

The rotating arm is quite round, and is a reasonable size.  The largest area is toward the tip, but thins out before connecting with the vibrating portion of the toy.  This is a great design because it’s less likely to cause discomfort during use.  Even if you’re partner is above average in girth, it’s less likely to feel like an extreme squeeze since the thinnest part is toward the opening of the vagina.

Ida is a great size when using with a partner, but might feel a little small when used for solo play.  The girth is very reasonable and should work for any experience level, though some might feel the addition of a couples’ massager is too much when paired with a partner.  If you experience discomfort being penetrated by your partner in general, you might want to use it only for solo play.  The vibrating area is 2 1/4″ across, covering a wide area, and the rotating piece can be inserted up to 2 3/4″.  It ranges in girth from 15/16″ in diameter (the thickest point), to 9/16″ (the thinnest).  The remote is 2 1/2″ wide and approximately 3/4″ thick.

-Functions/Controls-

Ida is rechargeable using a wall adaptor, but the remote it comes with is powered by two AAA batteries that are included.  When it first arrives, you’ll want to plug it in for approximately two hours to juice it up.  While it’s charging, a light behind the power button and to the side of it flashes, and stops once fully charged.  The massager should last approximately 2 hours, but the battery powered remote can last up to 10 hours.  When Ida needs to be charged, the light will flash rapidly while it’s on, letting you know the power is getting low.  It’s a really neat feature that could potentially eliminate the frustration of the massager dying during use.

The back of the remote has a small dip in it that helps you open and close the battery cap.  When it first arrives, it’s very easy to open, but you’ll need to use the little tool provided in order to properly open/close it.  Using another object (such as a coin or screwdriver) could damage the surface of the plastic, so it’s best to use what was provided.

Ida can be used on its own or with the SenseMotion remote.  When using it alone, you have to press the power button once to turn it on, and again to start the vibrations/rotation.  From there, you continue to press the button to cycle through the six pre-programmed patterns.  The intensity level will automatically be at its highest, but can be changed once the remote is turned on.  A little light next to the power button slowly flashes during use, but doesn’t change according to the patterns.  When you’re ready to turn it off, simply hold down the power button until the vibrations cease.

The SenseMotion remote isn’t new to LELO and is seen with some of their other products as well.  That being said, it’s totally new to me.  It’s a round disc that features three buttons on the front, and a round, flat battery cap on the back.  It’s easy to hold onto during use, is waterproof, and vibrates.  However, it’s a little hard to figure out when you first receive it.  To turn it on, you have to first press the plus button which creates a wireless connection to the massager (which you’ll also need to turn on).  There are three different modes you can use from here.

Mode One – Once turned on, you can control the intensity level by holding the remote flat, or tipping it sideways.  When flat, it’s at 10% intensity and grows stronger as you turn it.  Once vertical, you’ve reached 100% intensity.  You can move the remote back and forth to vary the intensity, or hold it in a way that works best for you or your partner.  When you’re in this mode you can choose to have the remote vibrate, or simply blink instead.  To turn off the vibrations in the remote, you hold down the center button for five sections.  The remote will still control Ida the same way, but your fingers won’t get tingly if you don’t need the vibrations.  If you decide you’d like them to be turned back on, you simply hold down the center button for five seconds and they’ll start back up.  When you want to turn the remote off, you press the minus button and it will turn off the remote, but the massager remains on standby.  It doesn’t vibrate (unless you press the button on the massager), but it will remain on for one hour after the remote has been turned off.

Mode Two – When you’re already in the first mode, all you have to do is press the center button to change to mode two.  This mode is all about how fast you move the remote back and forth.  The faster the remote moves, the stronger and faster the massager is.  It’s a little bit of an odd mode since you have move your hand back and forth in order to change the intensity, and I imagine it could potentially get either annoying or comical.  I guess it all depends on what works best for you.  To turn off this mode, you simply press the minus button just like when you’re in the first mode.

Mode Three – A third press of the center button will bring you to this mode (a press for each mode).  This is the most basic of all three and allows you to simply use the pre-programmed vibration patterns.  Rather than moving the remote to increase or decrease the intensity, you use the plus and minus buttons like you would on regular remotes.  Each press of the center button will take you to the next pattern and will continue to cycle through them if you keep pressing it.  Holding the minus button down will turn the toy off.

The remote itself has a travel lock that can be activated by holding down both the plus and minus buttons at the same time.  The remote will light up while you’re pressing down, and will turn off once the lock is on.  It’s important to note that this only locks the remote, and not the massager.  To unlock it, you simply press and hold the same two buttons and the light will appear once unlocked.

Both the vibration intensity and the speed of the rotation are effected the same depending on what setting you have it on.  You can’t have the rotation set to low while the vibrations are on high; they go together.  There are a variety of different patterns, but they only focus on the vibrations, the rotation stays the same no matter what setting you’re on.

The six patterns are:

1. Steady
2. Pulse
3. Quick Pulse
4. Surging
5. Roller Coaster
6. Crazy Mix

Though many products LELO puts out are nice and rumbly (think Ina 2 and Mona 2), Ida just doesn’t pack much of a punch.  Even on the highest setting the vibrations lean toward the buzzy side.  The rotation isn’t felt as strongly as I had hoped, so it doesn’t feel as different as the product claims to be.

The sound level is quite modest considering you have two separate vibrating parts and a rotating area, but it has a very mechanical sound to it.  It can be annoying, but shouldn’t be loud enough that it will distract you.  You would be able to hear it if you were in the same room with someone (which means wearing it out wouldn’t work well unless it was a very crowded place), but someone wouldn’t be able to hear it through a closed door.

-Packaging-

LELO‘s packaging is always classy and luxurious.  The outside of the package has a thin cardboard sleeve that boldly shows off the product, information about it, and the company name.  This can easily be removed and discarded if you require privacy.  Once the sleeve is removed, you’re met with a black box that simply has ‘Lelo’ on the top.  Nothing gives away what it contains unless you’re familiar with this company.  Inside the box, your Ida is housed in black foam that’s cut to perfectly cradle the massager and remote, preventing it from moving around inside the box.  There’s a small flap at one end that lifts up to reveal the charger, storage pouch, batteries, instruction booklet, battery cap tool, lubricant sample, and authenticity card.

-Experience-

After trying out other vibrators designed for couples, I was really curious about how Ida would preform.  The rotating element was what drew me in most, and after trying rabbits that had rotating shafts, I wondered what it would be like to share that sensation with my husband.

Before testing it on my own, we decided to try it out together.  I put it in place and knew before even turning it on that it wasn’t going to line up well for me.  The vibrating piece was too low for me.  Not only did it not come in contact with the area of my clit that needs stimulation, it didn’t reach at all.  I know my clit is pretty high up, but there were other issues as well.  Being a larger woman, I have a pretty plump mound which makes it difficult for certain toys to properly reach my somewhat buried clit.  The rounded, flat design will work well if your clit is exposed, but it’s a challenge if not. I thought maybe once it was turned on and we were getting hot and heavy that it would bump up higher and connect better; so much for wishful thinking.

My husband turned the toy on and we activated the remote.  I’m the reader between us, so I knew how to use it, he did not.  I tried to explain it to him, but he just didn’t understand.  This really isn’t a great toy to reach for the in the heat of the moment, not unless you both know how it works.  He was flinging his arm all over the place and I was doing everything I could not to laugh.  I had him hand me the remote, and he slipped inside of me.  The sensation did change once he penetrated me, but it wasn’t for the better.

Having chubby lady parts isn’t always a good thing.  In this case, I felt nothing but discomfort since the rotating probe had to be stretched far to work with my anatomy.  I felt like it was pinching me the whole time and it was bordering on painful.  I thought maybe it was the position we were in, so we switched it up; a few times.  No matter what position we were in, it just hurt.  Before stopping, I asked him how it felt to him and he just shrugged and said it wasn’t anything special.  He could feel vibrations, but couldn’t tell it was rotating even when he wasn’t thrusting.  After hearing it wasn’t doing anything for him, I felt relieved because I needed it out of me.  I’ve experienced discomfort from a toy before, but this was the first time I’ve experienced pain.

I set the toy aside after that night.  I knew I needed to test it on my own, but I was afraid of potentially experiencing the same discomfort.  A week went by and I decided I needed to put on my big girl panties (or take them off..) and try it again.  I prepared myself, was nice and warmed up, and inserted it.  This time I focused on adjusting it to see if I could get it to properly connect with my pleasure spots, and no matter what I tried I couldn’t get it to work for me.  The rotation could hardly be felt and the vibrations weren’t even close to my clit, so I gave up.

Ida, you have let me down.

I really wanted to say this was an amazing product that will change the way you and your partner have sex, but I can’t say that in a positive way.  Yes, it might change the way you have sex, but only because you’ll be so busy trying not to cringe that you can’t focus on pleasure.

I know your individual experience will vary from mine, and I truly hope it does, but if you have a chubby mound like I do you might just run into the same issues.  You really need an exposed clit that’s closer to your vaginal opening, a smaller mound, and some experience with the remote prior to actual use.
