PRODUCT REVIEW
I was recently contacted by Paloqueth to do some sex toy reviews, I had not heard of them and was a bit unsure, but agreed anyway. A couple of days ago this lovely box arrived in the mail and the reviewing has begun.
When I first saw this device, I was uncertain but it certainly exceeded my expectations.
It is quite ergonomic, thought the vibrations through the handle were a bit disconcerting, the toy feels nice in your hands with a soft satin feel that is pleasurable. There are silicone protrusions on one side and it is soft and rounded on the other, and to top it off its waterproof.
I love the fact it is rechargeable via a USB port, initially I had a few issues connecting the charger, the port is a small area covered with silicone which I thought had to be removed to access the charging port…oops, you just push into the area and the charger is inserted, how easy. Maybe clearer instructions for the novice. It takes 1.5hrs to charge, so you do have to be prepared but you get a good 2.5hrs out of it.
The head is covered in soft silicone protrusions with some larger ones in the centre, which look like little tongues. I guess this is where the name oral stimulator comes from, maybe needs a better name as it does not feel like a tongue or stimulate orally. Clitoral stimulator might be a better name, but I can think of other areas that it might also stimulate quite nicely.
I was also concerned with how easy it might be to clean with all these little protrusions, but it was actually quite easy with a little liquid soap and hot water, it was just like cleaning a brush.
There are 8 different types of vibration, I am sure there is one to suit everyone. I would have liked there to be different strength vibrations on each one, as some were stronger than others and there was really only one that I particularly liked, but I would have liked to make it stronger.
Due to the shape of the head the vibrations can cover the whole vulva area, which would be great for those who do not like direct clitoral stimulation, or you can angle it so the larger tongue like protrusions are directly on the clitoris. If that does not work for you , then you can also flip it over and use the smoother side or the end of the toy where the stronger vibration occurs.
So, after some initial trepidation, it ended up being a lovely toy that feels nice in the hand, is fairly quiet and can be used in a variety of ways to stimulate the whole genital area, or directly on the clitoris and labia or even the anus. It’s a 4/5 for me.
