If you are into anal toys, you’ve probably noticed the Nexus G-Rider, whether you have a prostate or not, as it has a very interesting shape and an alluring base. The best bases for anal toys are sadly hard to find, and I’m glad I had the chance to try the Nexus G-Rider, by LB Trading Ltd, for it has a really good one.

Presentation

This prostate massager is especially firm in density and it’s a good thing that the curved tip, or nose, helps with inserting it. With or without the motor, the silicone on this toy is particularly firm and will only have more give at the neck without it. Once inside, the Nexus just seems to be swallowed by the body up to the neck, at least for anal play, and the firmness presents no disadvantages.

The silicone is velvety all around the toy, except for the line when a seam would be. It looks like the seam was mechanically removed and left a sort of micro texture that does not feel so soft on the fingers, but that you can’t really feel during use. However, it makes cleaning more difficult as well.

I had some trouble getting the battery inside at first, as there was some sort of glued tape holding two wires that had rolled and was getting in the way of the battery. I assume it was an isolated incident as no one else mentions something of the sort, but after removing it with tweezers and making sure the wires weren’t in the way, everything worked just fine.

This vibrator can easily be used as a regular butt plug after you have removed the motor, and even if you keep it in.

Size

The toy is what I’d call average in size, because at the widest part, it has a circumference of a little bit more than 5 inches. The head, from tip to back, has a length of 1.75”, but is quite slender being slightly less than an inch in width. The whole toy is 5” and is insertable for 4”. The base is fairly long, with 4.5”.

Vibrations

There are five vibration settings that are all of moderate intensity but that are well felt during anal play. The first one is rather unique, and starts as a quick escalating and deescalating pattern followed by a series of continuous faster pulses. The second is a two- to three-second-long constant vibration followed by a second-long pause. The third one is the constant vibration mode. The fourth one is single pulses interrupted by pauses. The last one is a series of three throbbing pulses followed by a pause. To turn it on and off, the button has to be held for about two seconds.

Female Opinion

I could not feel the vibrations vaginally as well as I did when it was inserted anally. Although the Rider did a superb job at finding my g-spot, I found the material to be slightly too firm for that use. I much preferred the sensation it offered for anal play, and it did feel amazing. It’s hard to say what made it such a great toy for me, as it didn’t seem to be filling me up or stretch me, but my body did sense it and took great pleasure from that shape and vibrations.

For either use, I was not stimulated by the nubs at the base or feel the vibrations through them. I did feel them against my clitoral area during vaginal insertion, but just because they rested against my skin. As for anal play, I could not even feel them.

I would have like to ride the Rider a little in a rocking movement, but as my butt cheeks are very cushiony, it didn’t work all that well. I could not achieve anything better than movements that would poke me. I was curious to know if I could change the vibrations with a rocking motion, so I can’t really say if it could work.

With the size of the base, vaginal penetration would not be possible at the same time, in case you’d like to try.

Male Opinion

Yes, I did ask for a guy opinion for this one, and I actually felt like I had no choice for reviewing a toy made for prostate massaging.

With the Nexus G-Rider, the orgasm that ensues is supposedly amazing and powerful. The firmness was just right and the shape and size was apparently perfect. The size didn’t feel too large for one who plays at an intermediate level in anal toys. However, larger than that would have been too much with the firmness of the toy. This toy has definitely become an instant favorite.

The vibrations were very interesting, especially the escalating one, which is a vibration pattern that is not that often available on vibrators. The nubs were not particularly felt during insertion either, but the base was extremely comfortable as the sides are round and don’t dig into the skin at all. This toy makes it easy to sit computer chair for a long period of time without being uncomfortable.

Care

While the silicone is easy to care for, and you can find information about it here, the motor is not waterproof. So you will have to turn the toy upside down for washing or remove the motor entirely. At least it was be easily removed and put back in with some twisting.

You all know I’m kinky, so it’s no surprise that one day or another I’d be reviewing a harness. So today it’s all about the Black Cat Harness by ASLAN Leather. You should know that it’s not my first so I’ll be able to pinpoint a few key features that I really like about this one and that you may care to know. The other one I have is the Sportsheets Velvet Corset Harness, which is a good product, but there were a few things that I didn’t like. The review is long, but I divided it in sections to help you find what you want to read and you can click the pictures to see them larger.

Quality
When you look at it, it’s clear that it’s not cheaply made, as you can see the seam of the vinyl is barely noticeable in the interior side of the straps and I can’t even feel them when I’m wearing it. Actually, nothing at all pokes you in a bad way, and the straps twist to fit the shape of your body without digging into your skin. I have to say that the harness is really comfortable and it looks super sexy as the metal O rings in front allow the belt to follow the level of your hips. Even if the buckles can feel cold when you are putting it on, they are barely in contact with the body once strapped and the whole harness becomes quickly warm. 

Performance
The straps are sufficiently flexible without being limp – similar to a wide leather dog collar – so they will always maintain a nice curve even if you try to bend them. Since the fit is quite stable, the front part will also apply a firm pressure on the base of the toys you’ll put in there. So the base will not twist awkwardly from the weight, and it’s more the shaft itself that will go downward from gravity. It allows a better control with the movements as well, which is super important.

Adjustable
The harness is adjustable through four buckles: one on each hip and the two others on the leg straps. The leg straps loop around the belt and can be adjusted by sliding them sideways. The advantage of vinyl and buckles with a harness is that you will not need to tighten the strap during play and won’t even stretch with time. All you have to do to take it off is unbuckle one strap at the hip while taking note in which buckle hole it was set and voilà! it’s going to be ready for next time.

Size
I measured the harness lying flat and it has a width of 23”, and it will fit hips that have a circumference of 40” with some reasonable room left. So if you have been worrying like me if the harness would fit if you are at the limit of that 42”, as said on the product page, it’s going to be fine, but not much more than that. The smallest hip size that the harness can fit is about 27-28” in circumference, considering that lying flat, the harness measures 15”. If you are on the smaller range of the size of the harness, you can slip the extra belt straps in the loops of the leg straps.

If I can use my size as a reference – my hips have a circumference of 41”, – and I managed an almost perfect sizing by adjusting the hip straps at the third buckle hole, and at the last hole for the leg straps. In order to get a perfect fit, I think I could have used a little bit more length in the leg straps as the belt in the back still sits just a tiny bit too low. Note that I’m wearing a lot of my weight in my butt and thighs.

After consulting the ASLAN Leather website, they say that the harness fits 26” to 44” inches, which would also explain the extra room I had, but then, at 44” I think it would be too tight, and similarly I think that 26” might be slightly too small and the harness could be loose. So buy at your own risk. Remember that you need some room to be comfortable, for the belt to follow some curves and in case of some weight gain or loss. Also, if you are going to use a strapless dildo, it’s the leg straps that can be adjusted to give more room in front.

Dildos
Since the hole in front has a diameter of 1 ¾”, it’s true that most dildos will work with this harness, but as the hole is made of vinyl, it’s going to be difficult to squeeze a large toy in there. Besides, but the ring snaps take some of that room away, so I suggest using toys that are more in the range of 1 ¼” to 1 ½” in diameter. The largest toy I put in was the Fun Factory Tiger, which managed to fit well even though the last bump needed some help through the hole.

However, I do not recommend using a dildo made of soft silicone that has a set of balls, as the edges of the leg straps could dig into the silicone and leave marks. Note that the ring looks like it is made of rubber, but it can be changed if you want another material as long as the new ring is of the same size, with an inner diameter of 1 ¾”.

Material
I have to admit that I wasn’t completely sold to the shiny wet look at first, but I think it’s kind of bad ass now. It does slightly smell like plastic, but in a freshly-new kind of way, so it’s not a downside. Besides, when you think about it, it’s one of the easiest materials to take care of with a harness, as you can just clean it gently with a towel with some soap, dry it up and it’s done. Nylon, cloth and leather would need more washing or caring, and as some of you already know, I’m a low maintenance girl when it comes to my toys.

The material also allows the harness to be waterproof, but don’t forget that there are still a few pieces of metal on this piece, and I’ve learned in other reviews – thank you reviewers – that you can use nail polish on the metal to prevent rusting, as long as you also make sure to let the harness dry.

Recommendations
If you are looking for a first harness, my suggestion would be to get a cheap one to know what you like in a harness, and get a better one with the features that you really want. If it’s not your first harness purchase, I think I covered what you need to know, and I hope it’s a harness you’d consider, as I really like it.

The Jo Massage Glide is a great product for massaging, but I know that there are often shared feelings about silicone-based lubricants. Because, yes, this product is technically a silicone lubricant with a fragrance that comes .

If you are familiar with System Jo silicone lube, you’d know that they advertise their lubricants as a three-in-one product: moisturizer, lubricant and massage oil. Note that on the product page on Edenfantasys, the product is named massage oil, but the oil it contains only serves to give it a great smell. It can also serves as a tattoo conditioner, but I cannot vouch for that purpose. If used for over the body moisturizing, you should know that it leaves the skin particularly shiny, but very, very soft and silky.

As a lubricant, it couldn’t be any better, but then, I prefer silicone-based lubricants to water-based ones. I know some people don’t like the smooth and long-lasting feel of silicone on their skin after applying a silicone lubricant, whether on their skin or genital areas, but it’s not something that I mind – not at all. I find massage oils too oily and I feel the need to completely wash it off before going to sleep; besides, I’m afraid that I’d transfer oil to the sheets from sleeping on my back. Moreover, I’m allergic to almonds, and I feel limited in the massage products I can use as the last almond-oil-based massage oil I tried felt like burning my skin.

Since it is silicone-based, you do not have to use a lot of the product to have the same desired effect as some massage oil. When used for a back massage for instance, I could use three drops to cover the entire back, but I needed three more to reach the level of glide I wanted. It was as if the first drops had been enough to moisturize, but a little bit more was needed to create the sleek effect required for a massage, and it would last until the massage was over. So the smaller format of the Massage Glide may be small, but it’s going to last as long as any massage oil bottle. The bottle also claims that 1 drop equals 10-15 drops of massage oils, and I believe it. It is not recommended to let the Massage Glide be in contact with other products made of silicone, especially not toys, but it is compatible with latex condoms. It will also last for shower sex, unless you wash it away with soap.

The fragrance I have is Citrus and it smells like a lemon zest, but not very strong. I’ve had massage oils before that had overpowering scents and I could end up fed up of the fragrance before the end of my first massage. With this massage glide, the smell is reasonable, and you may actually think that it should persist longer. I just used one drop to moisturize my hands and I had to put my nose at about 6 inches to smell it, and it was mostly gone after a minute.

The cap is opened by pressing on one side of the top, which lifts the other side (I don’t know the exact term for that type of cap), but it does a good enough job at preventing leaks. On the bottle, it is said that once opened, the product is good for 2 years. The ingredients are: Cyclopentasiloxane, Cyclotetrasiloxane, Dimethiconol, Dimethicone, Citrus Officinalis (Fragrance & Lemon Balm Essential Oil).

This is a product that I highly recommend, as long as you have not previously had a bad experience with silicone-based lubricants. This format of 1 fl. oz (30 ml) is great if you want to give it a try without paying too high a price, and you can get it at this sex toys store I trust.

When you get the Eroscillator 2 Top Deluxe, every part is wrapped or sealed in plastic (especially the handle), which also affect the type of refunds you can get. It comes in a cardboard box, but once the items have been unwrapped, it becomes hard to put it all back in there, so be ready to spare some other space for it. With no attachment the Eroscillator is 8” long, and is 2” wide at the base. The adapter comes with a full 13’ of cord and you shouldn’t worry about the distance between an outlet and your bed (I hope). And then, there are the five attachments that will be described below.

The Handle
The handle is surprisingly comfortable in any position and you shouldn’t have to stretch a muscle from holding it for a little while. The spirals along the 1 ½” handle of the toy help give a better grip when it comes to changing intensities, which can be done be slipping a panel on the side of the toy. The Eroscillator itself is made of plastic, as well as the necks of the attachments, and you can give it a more thorough wash by removing the cap and the slider. The handle can be washed under running water and is waterproof, but the Eroscillator should not be used where there is water for the electrical parts. 

It has three settings, one low that already feels strong, and two more that feel stronger and the last is even stronger. As for the noise level, it is low pitched and feels was amazingly low in volume for the power given, maybe slightly more than a vibrating cellphone. On the lowest setting, you can barely hear it. The toy will be louder if there is no attachment or if no pressure (minimal) is applied on the attachment.

The Attachments
The rest of the attachments are made of a flexible silicone-coated TPR, which is a hypoallergenic material that contains no latex, PVC or phthalates, but it is not completely non-porous (so consider a condom is you want to try an attachment anally). You will be able to clean them with warm water and soap, and if you must use lubricant, stay with water-based. Most attachments are roughly 3” in length and make it possible to easily access the clitoris during penetrative sex. The five attachments included are (from left to right on the picture):

1. The French Legionnaire’s Moustache
This one is definitely the oddest and at first I really believed it would hurt. For this reason, it was the very last attachment I tried and after removing the plastic protector, I realized that the nylon bristles were quite soft and they could be used to tease and tickle. The instructions say that it could be used internally as well, but I’d rather not – I would not want stuff to get in the roots of the bristles. I’m thinking that it might be an attachment that would feel good on the scrotum and the shaft of the penis.

2. The Golden Spoon
The hollow of the golden spoon is nice if you do not like direct stimulation on the clitoris, but I preferred the back that would cover the entire clitoral area. It is actually the attachment that I liked best.

3. The Cup & Ball
The Cup could also be used for even more indirect contact with the clitoris and for nipple stimulation. The Ball is similar to the back of the Spoon, but has a smaller surface to play with. The Cup & Ball could be interchanged with the Golden Spoon and the differences would be minor ones as they’re very similar when oscillating.

4. The Seven Pearls of the Orient
The Pearls are meant for internal stimulation (vaginal or anal), but I also liked to place it along my clitoris and put the smaller bead at the entrance of the vagina. For this one in particular, use a condom for anal play unless you never intend to stimulate other areas.

5. The Grapes and Cockscomb
This side I prefer is the Grapes as you can use on the clitoris and internally to reach the g-spot, and with the power it comes with, you should be able to be very stimulated as well. The Cockscomb is just odd, and I didn’t find any particular use I preferred. The instructions mention labia stimulation, but I wasn’t impressed.

Other Accessories
As you can see on the picture, there is a plastic bag or pouch included for storage, but it’s cheap and makes me go “meh”. It does not even close and even if you put the bag in a drawer, it might fall on the side and the pieces could slide out. I recommend using a satin wine bag if you can get your hands on one, you can often buy those during Christmas time and they serve as oversized drawstring bags.

As for the DVD, it contains customer opinions and a sort of endorsement interview with Dr. Ruth. The whole thing lasts about 10 minutes and acts as an advertisement for the product as it keeps on promoting its virtues and its advantages on a couple’s sex life (that part could apply to any sex toy though). They probably considered that a number of people, men and women, who receive this product as a gift and are unfamiliar or reticent to using sex toys, might need positive arguments in order for them to keep the Eroscillator.

The DVD, the bag and the burgundy box were contained in a larger plain cardboard box that protected everything well during shipping, but I didn’t think it would be useful to take a picture.

My Opinion
The toy is amazing, as I was able to reach 5 orgasms in a single session without feeling numb, and the only reason I didn’t continue is that I was myself tired – I knew the toy would keep on giving me orgasms easily. This toy will get you there, and if it does not, there is a 30-day return policy (not a complete refund though) with the maker.

However, as I will be using some attachment parts less frequently than others, I think that the  Eroscillator should better be sold alone with a basic attachment, like the Golden Spoon, so that anyone could buy all the attachments that they want when they want. Having more options would make the initial price a lot more affordable, because a starting price of $139, and higher depending on the kit, is too much for a lot of people. But then, it is good to note that the Eroscillator 2 Top Deluxe is more powerful than the Eroscillator 2 Plus (by 35% I heard), and is the “cheapest” available kit to get that extra power, so it’s hard to say what’s the value of the extra power in relation to the attachments.

If you are interested in an Eroscillator, make sure to check out the Ultra Soft Finger Tip attachment, because it looks very interesting.

I’ve had the Dichroic Spiral, or Dichroic Wrapped G-Spot, for almost two years now, and it was one of the first toys I got at Edenfantasys among other goodies. It’s one of my most cherished toys, and I love it. So it was finally due that I would give it its review. Just to be clear I’m reviewing the 1.5” version, since I have the Cobalt blue version of the smaller one.

As you look at this beautiful glass toy, the first thing that you notice is the rainbow colors that are reflected by the dichroic metal inside the wraps. As they are handmade, this pretty effect changes from one toy from another and makes every one of them unique. This toy can stand upright since the base is completely flat, which will give a nice erotic view if there is a partner driving it. The word Phallix can be read at the bottom when the toy is oriented towards the g-spot.

On the product page, the given 1.5” size for the diameter is measured with the wraps and corresponds also to the size of the head. The size of the shaft alone is 1.25” and the entire toy is 7.5” long (in a direct line). It’s not all that large, but the head might feel like it is, as it’s got no give at all.

This is the largest glass beauty of my collection and I appreciate it for the way that the wraps are low and not particularly pronounced. Yes, the toy is large, but the texture won’t hurt or be too much. If you want more details about borosilicate glass, how to care for it and play with temperature, click here. When washing, make sure to pay extra attention to the two lines running along the head and a small hollow area at the very tip.

When playing with this dildo, the head is sure to hit the g-spot and all the wraps will give it a little poke as well. One of the things I also like is to look at the toy when it’s going in and out, and to let the wraps slide over the clitoris when the head is about to get out. Note that since the Phallix toys are handmade, there will be some variations in the curve of the shaft from a toy to another and how the wraps are placed; they ultimately are very similar, and will be as pleasurable.

This dildo is one of the very rare Phallix toys that DOES come with a well-padded velvet pouch, the 7” Pleasure Pouch, probably because it would not fit in their regular plastic case. If you want more details about that storage bag, the review is also available on the site. I got this toy at this sex toy store I trust, and so should you.

I’m not going to hide it, but I really do enjoy glass toys, not just from the pleasure it gives me but I really like their designs – they’re all pretty. Although I could say that there are some toys that have a more artistic touch than others, and one of them is the Fantasy G-Spot 2.

When you look at it, the head looks like a flower from the way that the pink coloring (with 24k gold dust) has been placed all around it. I know I’ve got a lot of things to say about the design, but there are reasons, and it’s not only due to the golden pink details. The Fantasy G-spot 2, made by Xhale Glass, is amazing and when you’ve had the chance to see how clear and pure the shaft is, you’ll understand the level of talent behind this toy. The first picture has been taken without a flash and shows how you will usually see the color with normal lighting. In the second picture, which was taken with a flash, the gold within is particularly enhanced and makes it look more yellow – but it’s still interesting to see.

Another interesting characteristic is that this glass toy can stand upright, which is so cool with glass toys – I really want to have a display case one day with all of them. I’ve said glass before, but it’s more precisely borosilicate glass, and if you want to know more about the material and how to care for it, click here. I know it is trivial, but I like how the base is completely flat, so that when someone can look at the toy when it is inserted, you can see inside the toy. You can’t really see details of the interior anatomy because of the head and the bumps, but it’s still an interesting and erotic view. The base also allows this toy to be anal safe, that is, if you can handle the size of the tip.

Now you must surely wonder how it works, and for starters, I can affirm that the name says it all. The head of this toy is not only large enough (1 ½”) to stay in contact with the g-spot during playtime (as long as it’s in that area), but it has a pronounced angle to guarantee it. As for the nubs, they do add a level of stimulation to the overall experience, but I felt them best when they were at the entrance of the vagina. So with this toy, I used some slight rocking or turning motion to keep the toy in a more shallow position and optimize the g-spot stimulation. Feel free to go deeper, and you’ll be able to enjoy the smoothness of the 1” diameter shaft. So yes, it is a great toy, and I’m really happy to have it in my collection now.

This Fantasy G-Spot 2 also comes wrapped in a well-padded velvet bag (with no other packaging), and you’ll have no reason not to use it for storage. Unless you are really limited in storage space, you will want to protect this precious toy. I got this toy at this sex toy store I trust, and there were other toys available that were similar to this one, like the Two Way Fantasy Deluxe (has a side like the Fantasy G-Spot 2), the Fantasy G-Spot, and the Double Head Fantasy Deluxe.

Imagine yourself in Victorian times where corsets and numerous underclothes would protect a woman’s virtue or honor. Now, to that, add new types of energy sources that can power eccentric machines that are used to satisfy erotic urges, and you get this book, Carnal Machines Steampunk Erotica. This book is so good that if I had enough time, I would have finished it in one sitting, so I had to settle for two.

This collection is edited by D. L. King, and I would be looking forward to another book edited by her. The book of 198 pages contains 14 stories, and even if the usual anthology has about 20 stories, you won’t see the difference. The content is excellent with all the exquisite details that keep you enthralled, the innovative ideas to make Steampunk work, and the surprises that make you smile. Does it show that I loved this book? Oh and I know it’s not something that I often mention, but I just can’t stop admiring the cover photograph by Hartmut Nörenberg (I’ve visited his deviantART page, and he’s got some amazing work).

Seriously, I’ve had my share of Victorian romance in the past and I love sex toys, so a mix of the two would be very alluring to me. The toys that are used are more or less compact, from a simple dildo to a thinking mechanical device, without forgetting the inescapable fucking chair (a perfect pun here, but you’ll see if you read it). Not only that, but sex isn’t always about straight sex, and include some homosexual action, women or men (but you won’t always know for sure until the end), and some BDSM, like bondage and spanking. Also, be ready to see some fantasy elements in some stories, like some fantastical creatures and flying vessels.

The stories are:
Human Powered – Theresa Noelle Roberts
The Servant Question – Janine Ashbless
Sleight of Hand – Renee Michaels
Mutiny on the Danika Blue – Poe Von Page
Deviant Devices – Kannan Feng
The Perfect Girl – Jay Lawrence
Dr. Mullaley’s Cure – Delilah Devlin
Her Own Devices – Lisabet Sarai
Lair of the Red Countess – Kathleen Bradean
Infernal Machine – Elias A. St. James
Dr. Watson Makes a House Call – Essomeh Teepee
The Treatment – D. L. King
Lucifer Einstein and the Curious Case of the Carnal Contraption – Tracey Shellito
The Succubus – Elizabeth Schechter

The only critical comment I could say about this book is that I felt the stories used a little too much the concept of the “Doctor treating hysteria”, but then it’s based on true historical events and it was a good thing that each story did it well. It’s hard for me to come up with my top favorite stories, but I really had a thing for Mutiny on the Danika Blue. The setting was very original as it was set on a ship in space, and the woman-on-submissive-male action really turned me on. As I said, there was a little bit of BDSM going on throughout the book, and it adds a nice palette of flavors to the stories. You can also get this book at this sex toy store I trust.

I was really excited to see the new line of G4 vibrators from Fun Factory and until now I had never been disappointed by their product. I tried Elegance, a rechargeable and fully waterproof silicone vibrator, meaning a very high-end vibrator. Unfortunately, I was disappointed by the model that I had to review due to the texture all over the surface (more information on that at the end).

At first I was really interested in the unusual shape of this toy. It looked amazing and deserved a fancy name like Elegance. It even has a kind of slightly twisted shape where a more pronounced edge is visible along the shaft. I know it’s hard to describe, but I got a few pictures to help. I also liked that the widest part of the toy would be on a horizontal axis, meaning that it would stretch the body from the sides and not vertically, like some g-spot toys would do.

Even though there is no apparent special texture on the vibrator, the silicone on the surface of this toy is so matte that it feels rough, almost like sandpaper when it is inserted and that minimal thrusting is initiated. I know some women like some drag, but this is pushing it to the extreme. I was surprised that it would feel like so, and even with extra lubricant, it could not be inserted with a smooth motion. The grain is so pronounced that you can clearly see it on the picture that I’ve taken of the tip. Also, if you want more information on silicone, like how to care for it and clean it, click here.

Moreover, the fact that this vibe is larger than average does not help with experiencing an easy insertion, and with its 1 ¾” diameter (5 ½” circumference), it is actually at the limit of my comfort zone. So you can understand that with such a size, I would have needed a smoother surface in order to enjoy this toy. So I suppose that another woman who likes a lot of drag on large toys would be happy with this vibrator, but I wasn’t. The insertable section is of reasonable length with its 6 inches.

Also, while I was satisfied with the power of this toy, I did not offer the same variety in intensity that are available with Lelo toys of the same price range. I know that the Lelo products have yet to become waterproof, but they are amazing in being able to change the intensity of all the available patterns, which is unfortunately not the case with the G4 vibrators. I guess it depends on your preferences, and if you’d rather have a toy almost always set at the highest power for the vibration settings, here again, you would not be disappointed by the Elegance.

There are 3 control buttons on the Elegance, the Plus (+), the Minus (-) and the Asterisk (*), and they are lighted when you press them or if you move your hand over the controls when it is turned off. Pressing once on the Plus turns it on, and by pressing it again, you’ll go through six constant vibration intensities (that I could discern), going from low to a powerful high. You must go back through the settings to turn it off with Minus. At any moment when it is activated, you can press on the Asterisk to access the special vibration settings. You can also turn it on by holding the Asterisk button to access directly the vibrations options or off by holding the Minus button, from any setting. The noise volume is relatively low compared to other toys, and is more quiet than a bullet, even at the strongest setting.

The pulsation vibrations are:
1. Intense throbbing.
2. Quick pulses
3. Slower pulses that seem to escalate a little.
4. A less intense version of the slower pulses.

As I said before, this toy is rechargeable and the first charging can take up to 12 hours, that is, if the charger stays perfectly in place on the FUN logo to insure an ideal charging of the toy. The charger is included in the package, and as you can see it’s in the smaller box next to the main toy. During charging, Elegance was resting on a countertop and would sometimes move, which could shift the position of the charger as well. You can tell by the bright red light that appears on the charger. When the position isn’t optimal, the red light is dimmed or completely turned off. And it can take a while to get a good position. Also, note that with this type of rechargeable battery, it is better regularly charged and should be stored fully charge to prolong its longevity.

So, in the end, I cannot say that I was satisfied by this product since I do not plan on using it vaginally anymore, and considering the other high-quality vibrators on the market lately, this one does not seem to be part of the real competition. I know most people do not have a few other $100 vibrators available to compare with, but trust me that when it comes to vibrations, Lelo is offering a lot more options on slimmer and smoother toys, even if they aren’t waterproof. So in the end, it all goes down to what you really want and will actually use on a toy. So if you decide it would work for you, then you can get it at this sex toy store I trust.

Note: After getting more information on this toy, whether or not it could have been defective, it was, but not for the reason I expected. The white velvet stuff was missing in a few spots, like the very tip of the toy, creating a few random softer spots. This means that the rough texture that I did not like WAS the normal texture. Fun Factory said that this texture had been created for people who like “SHORT and SLOW strokes”. Fine with me, but it was not something for me, since I could not even get the initial penetrations to feel smooth, not even with extra lubricant and after a first orgasm.
