I have reviewed a couple of Toyfriends in the past. I reviewed the Toyfriend Curvy, which I loved, the Toyfriend Seti, which I liked, and the Toyfriend Bossy, which I wanted to throw out the window. Considering I’m a bit like Goldilocks with my Toyfriends, I decided it was time to review another one, a tie-breaker, if you will. So, today we turn our attention to the the Toyfriend Starlet Vibrator.

The Toyfriend Starlet Vibrator is (obviously) made by the Swedish sex toy company, Toyfriend. One thing I have loved about all my Toyfriends is the awesome silicone with which they are covered. Not only is silicone latex and phthalate-free, non-porous, hypoallergenic, and body-safe, this silicone is super slick and smooth and doesn’t attract lint at all. I love it. It feels great against my skin as well. Of course, silicone is easy to care for and clean. As the Toyfriend Starlet is waterproof, you can wash it with antibacterial soap and warm water without fear. You can also use your favorite toy cleaner or a 10% bleach solution to sterilize it so you can share it with non-fluid bonded partners.

This silicone is so smooth, I really don’t need to use much lube with it, but no matter how much you use be sure and use a water-based lubricant. The silicone in a silicone-based lube could react with the silicone of the vibrator and cause the vibrator to become tacky. If you want to give it a shot, do a test patch at the base of the Toyfriend Starlet before slathering it all over with your silicone-based lubricant. This will easy to do as the entire Starlet is covered in silicone.

I hadn’t used my Curvy Toyfriend for a while when I first used the Starlet and I had forgotten the power of the Curvy. Well, the Starlet has that same power, which is surprising for vibrator that runs on two AAA batteries. The vibrations of the Toyfriend Starlet are quite strong, deep, and rumbly. They really work for me. Nothing buzzy about this vibrator. It has five modes of vibration, which are as follows:
1. Higher level straight vibration
2. Lower level straight vibration
3. Strong, one pulse pattern buuuuzzzz buuuuzzzz (This one is my favorite!)
4. Faster pulsation buuzz buuzz buuzz
5. Fastest pulsation buz buz buz buz

The one thing that is strange about all the Toyfriends I have tried is that they start on the highest level of vibration. That is always a bit of a jolt when I forget. I really prefer my vibrators to start on the lowest level so I can start slowly and get used to it.

With its one button control, the Toyfriend Starlet is easy to operate. You press the button on the bottom of the end cap to turn the vibrator on. To cycle through the vibration modes, you simply press the button. To turn the Toyfriend Starlett off, you press and hold the button for two seconds. No matter what mode you are on when you turn the vibrator off, it starts up at the highest speed so there is no memory. It really is a ramped up version of a simple vibrator.

The Toyfriend Starlet has a curved, flat head that is great to run along the body. It feels good against the nipples, clit, and labia. The flat head slips comfortably in between my labia and rests perfectly on my clit. The vibrations are centered in the head of the Toyfriend Starlet, which provides powerful stimulation for my clit. I suppose you can use the Toyfriend Starlet as an insertable vibrator but it really doesn’t work like that for me. Theoretically, the curved head could hit your g-spot depending on where it is, but it doesn’t hit mine, and the shaft of the vibrator feels like a handle, not an insertable. For me, this really is a clit vibrator, and though I have tried it internally, I only use it externally.

At 6.75″ in length and 1.25″ in diameter, the Toyfriend Starlet is an average sized vibrator. It feels solid in my hand but is not heavy and doesn’t hurt my wrist during use. It comes in a bright, cheery red silicone, which is a fun color. I don’t have very many red sex toys so I like the color quite a bit. On the side of the vibrator, it says, “tickler,” just like the other Toyfriends.

The packaging of the Toyfriend Starlet is the same as the other Toyfriends. It comes in a lightweight box with a plastic clamshell inside. The box is is colorful and says, “I VIBRATE,” on the sides, so it is not very discreet. You can also see the vibrator clearly in the clamshell. Also like the other Toyfriends, the Toyfriend Starlet comes with a clear plastic stand so you can stand it up in a cupboard, in your toy box, or on your dresser if you so desire. The box is not very sturdy so I don’t recommend it for storage. It also takes up quite a but more room than the vibrator itself. You’re probably better off storing it in a storage bag or ziploc baggie unless you have a ton of storage space.

As I mentioned before, the Toyfriend Starlet requires two AAA batteries, which are included with the vibrator. Super awesome! They come inside the vibrator with a small piece of paper that says, “I am a Tickler,” that keeps the vibrator from turning on. You can store then in the vibrator this way or take them out and store them separately, which is always a good idea.

Toyfriend Starlet Pros:
• Strong, deep vibrations
• Super smooth silicone
• Waterproof
• Comes with batteries
• Bright color

Toyfriend Starlet Cons:
• Starts on the highest level of vibration

Overall, the Toyfriend Starlet is a great simple vibrator with a few twists. It has an easy to operate button, pulsation patterns, awesome lint-free silicone, is waterproof, and comes with batteries. The vibrations are strong, quiet, and deep, just the way I like them. I tend to prefer rechargeable vibrators but it is nice sometimes to be able to reach for something and not have to worry about whether or not it’s charged. The fact that Toyfriend includes the batteries is classy and means you don’t have to wait until you buy or find batteries laying around the house to play. The Toyfriend Starlet is carried by a number of online retailers, so depending on where you like to shop and what you want to pay, you can find the Toyfriend Starlet at the following stores:

A few weeks ago I did a Spotlight on the new Jopen Vanity Five-Point Series. I mentioned I would be reviewing one of these new vibrators. As promised and thanks to the wonderful people at Jopen, today I am reviewing the Vanity Vr5.5 Vibrator, which can be purchased at EdenFantasys.

The Jopen Vanity Vr5.5 is one of the vibrators in the new Five-Point Series, a group of four new vibrators Jopen has recently introduced to the Jopen Vanity line. It is the signature magenta color of the Vanity line and completely covered in silicone. Back in February I reviewed the Vanity Vr10 and wasn’t totally thrilled with the rubbery feel of its silicone. However, the Vanity Vr5.5 feels very different. This magenta silicone is soft and smooth to the touch and I much prefer it. Like the Vr10, the Vanity Vr5.5 also has a slight seam all around the vibrator. However, it is much less visible and I don’t feel it as much with my fingers. I don’t feel it at all when in use. There is some text on the back of the Vanity Vr5.5 that gives information about voltage, recycling, and says “Powerbullet”. This can be clearly seen and felt but does not disturb me during play.

As always, I love silicone sex toys because they are easy to care for and clean. You can use a sex toy cleaner, a 10% bleach solution, or simply warm water and antibacterial soap, which is what I do most of the time nowadays. The Jopen Vanity Vr5.5 is totally waterproof so it makes washing with water easy breezy and allows you to take the vibrator in the bath or shower.

Silicone is latex and phthalate-free, non-porous, hypoallergenic, and body-safe, and few people have allergies to silicone. This silicone is both scent and taste-free. It is best to use a water-based lubricant with the Vanity Vr5.5 as the silicone of the vibrator can react with silicone-based lubricants and become tacky. The silicone does has some drag to it so you may want to use a bit of lube when playing.

The Vanity Vr5.5 is a rabbit style vibrator, meaning the larger shaft is insertable, while the smaller piece is an external clit stimulator. It is 7″ long, with approximately 4″ being insertable, and 1.5″ in diameter. The clit stimulator is 3″ long and 1.5″ wide. The vibrator feels sturdy in my hand but is lightweight at less than .5 pounds. The shaft of the vibrator is totally firm while the clit stimulator is very flexible and can actually be bent in half, though it will not stay in this position. This allows you to push down on the clit stimulator to create pressure against your clit if you so desire, without fear of breaking or damaging it.

The Jopen Vanity Vr5.5 is rechargeable and has a charging port on its back that closes itself off when the charging prong is removed. It takes about four hours to charge completely. The buttons have LEDs that light up when charging and will turn off when the Vanity Vr5.5 is fully charged. This vibrator has powerful independent dual motors, one in the tip of the massager and one in the clit stimulator. I find the vibrations of these motors to be fairly deep and throbby, with the the clit stimulator being slightly less so. However, it is by no means buzzy.

With its unique shape, the Jopen Vanity Vr5.5 is interesting and attractive to look at it and even more fun to use. The shape of the internal piece works really well for me. The larger tip and thinner shaft allows my body to tighten down it on very comfortably and it sits inside me just right. When I thrust, the tip rubs slightly against my g-spot, something I wasn’t expecting. The Vanity Vr5.5 hits my clit perfectly. So perfectly, in fact, that I can do some shallow thrusting with the Vr5.5 without it losing contact with my clit. It’s the ideal shape for my body. I don’t have to press down on the clit stimulator to maintain contact with my clit because the clit stimulator maintains contact on its own. While it really doesn’t provide pressure, I don’t need it in this case because it sits so perfectly on my clit. The only real downside of the Vanity Vr5.5 I find in use is that the handle feels short. I wish it were longer so it would be more comfortable with which to thrust.

Having a two button control panel makes the Jopen Vanity Vr5.5 easy to use. The top button controls the motor located in the tip of the vibrator, while the bottom button controls the motor in the clit stimulator. To turn the vibrations on and off you simply press one or both of the buttons. To increase the level of the vibrations you hold down on the button/s. Another downside is that you can’t actually decrease the level of the vibrations, you just have to turn the vibrator off and start over again if you’ve gone too high. The LED lights on the buttons flash when they are being pressed down and stay solidly lit when the Vr5.5 is on.

One really cool thing about the Jopen Vanity Vr5.5 is the travel lock. To lock, you press and hold both buttons down for four seconds. To unlock, do the same. When holding the buttons down to lock, the LEDs will light up and then go out. When unlocking, the LED on the bottom button will light up. Once unlocked, the LED on the top button will light up as well.

Jopen backs their products with a one year warranty, which you must register for, and an optional 10 year warranty. I haven’t signed up for the 10 year warranty so I can’t tell you anything about it, other than it isn’t all that easy to find information about it. Both warranties are through another warranty website where you can register online or print something out to register via mail.

The Jopen Vanity Vr5.5 comes in the same kind of packaging as the Vr10. I’m no more impressed with this packaging the second time around. I like high-end packaging, like that of LELO, and for the price point I wish Jopen would invest a bit more into their making their packaging more luxurious. Nonetheless, it is sufficient. The box holds the Vr5.5 well so it doesn’t flop around. Included in the box are a booklet with images of the entire Jopen Vanity line, a sheet that lists the vibrator’s attributes, the charger, and the storage bag.

Now, you know I love a storage bag to come with my sex toys. It just makes storage so much easier. When we’re talking about a high-priced toy, I especially want it to come with a storage bag and the Vanity Vr5.5 does. It comes with a huge storage bag. It’s so big I could use it as an overnight bag. Ok, I exaggerate, but it is very large. The storage bag is 9.5″ wide and 10″ long, much bigger than the vibrator itself. You can easily carry the charger in the bag, along with lube, condoms, and the kitchen sink if you’d like.

Vanity Vr5.5 Pros:
• Fits my body perfectly
• Silicone
• Powerful
• Dual Motors
• Rechargeable
• Travel lock

Vanity Vr5.5 Cons:
• Cannot decrease the vibration level
• Short handle

Like the Vr10, the Jopen Vanity Vr5.5 has much to offer. It it waterproof, rechargeable, and has powerful dual motors. However, the silicone of these vibrators is slightly different and I prefer the silicone of the Vr5.5. I also find it fits my body better and just gets me off better in general. I think it’s a tad pricey so I’ve knocked off half of a bean, but overall I really like this vibrator and what it has to offer. I’m sure other stores will start carrying this great vibrator soon, but right now you can find the Jopen Vanity Vr5.5 at EdenFantasys.

Trojan is a company best known for their condoms but over the past few years Trojan has branched out into manufacturing sex toys as well. I recently had the opportunity to try out one of these sex toys, the Trojan Midnight Collection Multi-Position Vibrator from Babeland.

The Trojan Midnight Collection Multi-Position Vibrator is one of a series of new sex toys from Trojan. This vibrator reminds me a bit of the Je Joue Uma in shape. However, what makes this vibrator unique is its ability to twist to four different positions. Before receiving the Trojan Midnight Collection Multi-Position Vibrator I had high expectations of this twisting power. I was slightly disappointed to discover that this multi-positionality is much more subtle than I expected.

The Trojan Midnight Collection Multi-Position Vibrator is made of a combination of purple ABS plastic and silicone. The bottom half is made of plastic and the top half, the insertable portion, has a layer of silky silicone over the plastic making the Trojan Midnight Collection Multi-Position Vibrator extremely rigid with absolutely no give. This silicone is quite nice as it has a smooth feel to it and does not attract lint and dust like most silicone. The color is a deep plum, which I quite like. The vibrator is 10″ in length, with 5″ being insertable, and is 1.75″ in diameter, so it is on the girthier side. The insertable silicone tip has five ridges which I can not really feel during insertion. The Trojan Midnight Collection Multi-Position Vibrator requires two AA batteries which are included. To prolong the life of your batteries and your vibrator, always store it without the batteries inside.

Due to the silicone and plastic, the Trojan Midnight Collection Multi-Position Vibrator is easy to care for and clean. Both parts can be cleaned with warm water and antibacterial soap or a toy cleaner. The silicone half can also be wiped down with a 10% bleach solution to sterilize it. This would allow you to share this vibrator between non-fluid bonded partners. The Trojan Midnight Collection Multi-Position Vibrator is water-resistant, not waterproof, so take care when cleaning it and do not submerge it. The end cap to the battery compartment seems quite secure but it does not have an o-ring to keep water out. Rather than screw it on like a typical end piece, you align two little lines on either side of the end cap and twist it until it snaps in place. It does say on the box it’s safe to use in the shower so I gave it a try and it worked just fine. I was careful to let it dry thoroughly before uncapping the end to remove the batteries.

As the insertable portion is silicone, it is best to use a water-based lubricant during play. Silicone-based lubricants can react negatively with the silicone of the toy causing it to become tacky. If you want to try a silicone-based lubricant with this vibrator, you can always do a patch test before play time to test it out. This particular silicone is so silky smooth it has practically no drag and I find I need little to no lubricant aside from my own natural lubrication, but everyone is different. It also depends on how slippery and slidey you like your vibrators.

I find the Trojan Midnight Collection Multi-Position Vibrator to be slightly unwieldy in my hand, partly because the handle is so round and partly because it just a bit heavier than I expect it to be. The motor is in the base of the vibrator and while the vibrations can easily be felt in the tip of the Trojan Midnight Collection Multi-Position Vibrator, it can unfortunately also be felt quite a bit in the base so it tends to make my hand feel buzzy, especially at the higher speeds. The motor is also on the loud side which I don’t especially like. The vibrations are strong but also a bit buzzy, which is not my favorite. I prefer my vibrations deep and rumbly. That said, I can still get off with this vibrator.

My orgasms haven’t been insanely strong with this vibrator, probably due in part to the buzziness of the vibrations. The reason I was most interested in the Trojan Midnight Collection Multi-Position Vibrator was really for the multiple positions. When I first started playing with it just in my hands I was unimpressed. I did not find these positions significantly different enough to make it worth my while. It’s nothing like the Je Joue G-Ki, for example. However, after I played with it for a time and used it sexually, I began to see the advantages of the slight shifts in angle. I will say, I do like the S position, especially on my clit. It is comfortable for my hand and body combined and works quite well for me. I also like that the positions lock in place and don’t slip during rigorous play. The four different positions should allow most women to find an angle or two that work best for them.

As with most sex toys, you can use the Trojan Midnight Collection Multi-Position Vibrator by yourself or with your partner. Just don’t go sticking this vibrator up your butt as it lacks a flared base for safety. It is also only half silicone with a slight hinge in the middle that allows it shift position. I don’t notice this being a problem for cleaning but I’m not sure I’d trust being able to get it totally clean of bacteria if it goes up your butt.

This vibrator is quite easy to use. The Trojan Midnight Collection Multi-Position Vibrator has two simple buttons on the bottom of the rounded handled, a + button, and a – button. The + button turns the vibrator on and cycles through the five levels of steady vibration. Once you hit the highest level of vibration, it then cycles up through the three patterns. To cycle down through the patterns, decrease the power, or turn the vibrator off, simply use the – button. You can turn the vibrator off by pressing the – button down for one second or by pressing it until it scrolls down and shuts off. The Trojan Midnight Collection Multi-Position Vibrator always starts on the lowest level of steady vibration.

The packaging isn’t great so I have no desire to hang on to it, which is a good thing for storage because it’s quite huge. It consists of a lightweight purple cardboard box with a large window showing the vibrator. This box opens on either side rather than from the top and bottom. Inside, the vibrator is secured in a plastic clamshell along with the included Duracell batteries, instruction pamphlet, and silk storage bag. I give Trojan major props for including both the storage bag and the batteries, especially brand-name batteries. I have a tendency to complain when these items that I consider necessary are not included with their respective sex toys. It certainly does give the Trojan Midnight Collection Multi-Position Vibrator more of a luxurious feel and makes storage easy.

Something that really cracks me up about the instructions is that Trojan informs you that the Midnight Collection Multi-Positon Vibrator can be used alone or with your partner but if used during sexual intercourse, it does not offer any protection against STI’s or pregnancy. I realize they do this for the purpose of liability but I really wonder. Are there people out there who are buying this sex toy that need to be told this? I certainly hope not. Sometimes, I fear for the human race.

Trojan Midnight Collection Multi-Position Vibrator Pros:
• Can change shape/angle slightly
• Strong
• Silicone
• Included Duracell batteries
• Silk storage bag

Trojan Midnight Collection Multi-Position Vibrator Cons:
• Loud
• Can feel the vibrations in my hand
• Buzzy

The Trojan Midnight Collection Multi-Position Vibrator has me a bit non-plussed. There are some serious things I don’t really like about it, most importantly the vibrations. However, I really like its ability to change positions and how well it does this. If you have issues with the angle of your g-spot toys, this one may solve your problems. Of course, that is as long as you don’t mind the buzzy vibrations, but I do know some people prefer them. It certainly has enough power to get me off. It’s not insanely loud but it isn’t quiet either so you’ll probably need to play some music to drown it out if you have thin walls.

I have to say, based on the Trojan Midnight Collection Multi-Position Vibrator, I’m not in a rush to run out and try other toys from the Trojan Midnight Collection. I’m concerned they may all have the same buzzy vibrations, but I am considering trying out another one as I do like the design of this one and I really appreciate the batteries and storage bag.

Head on over to Babeland to check out the Trojan Midnight Collection Multi-Position Vibrator. If this one doesn’t sound like it’ll do it for you, Babeland has a ton of other cool g-spot vibrators like the Je Joue Uma and Je Joue G-Ki.

We all know that Conservatives and Liberals do it differently. Babeland’s Bipartisan Bunny brings you the best of both worlds—this talking vibrator can satisfy the urges of everyone, no matter your political viewpoint. Your vibrator comes with two different modes—red and blue—which are pre-programmed with different sayings: The Blue Mode will get the Liberals hot, the Red Mode will turn-on the Conservatives. Since Independents go both ways, they can try it all and make up their mind in November. Not happy with the Bunny’s sweet promises? No worries, your vibrator also comes with voice-recording capability, so you can program your toy to say the things you want to hear!

Here are samples of the Bipartisan Bunny’s favorite sayings:

On the Blue Channel:
“Occupy me.”
“We can do this together, yes, we can.”
“A little more to the left, oh yeah, there, that’s it.”
“Orgasms for all.”

On the Red Channel:
“Drill, baby, drill.”
“Oh yeah, baby, just like a filibuster.”
“I’ll make you scream louder than a Fox News talk show host.”
“A little lower please, and I mean lower than a billionaire’s tax rate.”

I know I’ve written this before and I’m sure I’ll write it again, but I love Fun Factory sex toys. I have a handful in my collection and I am always open to adding more. When the opportunity arose to review one of the newish G4 Vibes from Good Vibrations, I jumped at the chance to try out the Fun Factory Big Boss.

Fun Factory is a German company that makes fun and whimsical sex toys. They are often colorful, unusual, oddly shaped, and just plain amusing. The Fun Factory Big Boss is actually one of their more “realistic” vibrators in shape, and I wouldn’t say black silicone is especially colorful. Nonetheless, the Big Boss is certainly fun. It is one of the G4 CLICK ‘N’ CHARGE vibes, which means it is rechargeable and uses the same charger as the other toys in this line. It also has the same looping handle which makes it easy to hold on to and great for thrusting.

The Fun Factory Big Boss is made of high quality matte silicone. This black silicone is very plush and squashy. (I know some of my pictures make it look blue, but it is indeed black.) It is latex and phthalate-free, hypoallergenic, body-safe. Unfortunately, it is also a huge lint magnet. I find this to often be the case with Fun Factory silicone, though the Big Boss really is the worst. It makes cleaning it a bit difficult because I cannot wipe the vibrator down with a towel as it gets all linty. Major drag. On the other hand, cleaning is rather easy because the silicone gives you several options. You can use warm water and antibacterial soap, which is what I do most of the time, a sex toy cleaner, or a 10% bleach solution. The bleach solution will sterilize the Big Boss and allow you to share it between non-fluid bonded partners.

Fun Factory recommends using a water-based lubricant with the Big Boss as silicone-based lubes can have a negative chemical reaction with the silicone of the vibrator causing it to become tacky. I often find that even with silicone toys my own lubrication is sufficient for play, but not with the Big Boss. This particular silicone is very matte and has a huge amount of drag so it really requires a fair amount of lubricant.

As I mentioned before, the Fun Factory Big Boss is a more realistic vibrator. The shape looks more like a penis than a fantasy object. It has a somewhat pronounced coronal ridge and some vein-like protrusions along the sides. It is also on the girthier side, measuring 9″ in length, with 6.75″ being insertable, and 1.75″ in diameter. To me it looks even girthier, probably due to the dark color and the very matte silicone. The Big Boss is not suitable for anal play as there is no flange to keep it from being sucked into the anus.

The Fun Factory Big Boss has a simple to use control panel on its loopy handle . It has three buttons, the + button, the – button, and the * button. These buttons light up when you run your finger over them. It’s a cute little feature. The + button turns the vibrator on and increases the power level through six levels of steady vibration. The – button decreases the power level and turns the vibrator off. Pressing the * button causes the vibrator to enter into pattern mode and cycle through the four patterns. To exit pattern mode and return to steady vibrations, you simply press the – button. These patterns are as follows:
1. Constant thrumming
2. Fast pulsing
3. Slower, longer pulsing
4. Rollercoaster pulsing

Big Boss’ motor is located at the base of the vibrator yet the vibrations travel very well through the shaft to the tip. I have some rechargeable vibrators that are not terribly strong but the Big Boss is not one of these. The vibrations are very strong and quite deep and rumbly. I like them very much and they do an excellent job of getting me off super quickly. Another thing I like about the Big Boss’ vibrations is that they are very quiet which is impressive considering they are quite powerful.

I like the look of the Big Boss with its vein-like protrusions. For me they are more decorative than anything as I don’t feel them with them vibrator inside me. I do, however, feel the pronounced coronal ridge as I thrust the Big Boss in and out. I mentioned before the Big Boss looks larger than its actual size and it does feel larger as well, especially if I don’t use enough lube. The matte silicone definitely requires more lube than my other Fun Factory toys. I’m not sure why this particular silicone is so different but it does seem to eat lube like crazy.

Though there is a slight curve to the Fun Factory Big Boss, I don’t find that it naturally hits my g-spot though I really didn’t expect it to do so. I don’t find this disappointing in any way as it is not meant to be a g-spot vibrator.

The G4 Big Boss comes in the mostly typical grey and white Fun Factory packaging. It’s a cardboard box with a window on one side and two magnetic flaps that open to a window on the other side. Inside, the Big Boss is nestled in a plastic clamshell. As I mentioned above, I have a few Fun Factory toys and usually the packaging is specific to the particular toy. However, the Big Boss packaging simply says “G4 VIBES” and has an image of another vibrator, the G4 Calla Vibrator. I don’t know why and while it’s not exactly confusing, it seems a bit silly. I guess it does make things easier for Fun Factory though. They just have one box for this line of vibrators and only have to change the internal clamshells with each vibe. Also included in the packaging are an instructions pamphlet, a fold out of Fun Factory toys, and a sample packet of Toy Fluid, Fun Factory’s water-based lubricant. The FUN Magnetic Plug needed to charge the Fun Factory Big Boss comes separately in its own box with instructions.

Charging is simple. You connect the magnetic plug to the Fun Factory logo on the back of the Big Boss’ loopy handle. It can be a bit tricky lining the magnets up just right. However, once you do the logo on the back of the charger lights up red. When the Big Boss is fully charged the red light turns off. You cannot use the Big Boss while it is charging. You want to charge your Fun Factory Big Boss for approximately six hours right out of the box. After that charging time will depend on the amount of charge left in the battery. You can charge the Big Boss at any time, you do not need to drain the battery before re-charging. The battery should give you approximately 30 minutes of use at the maximum level and the standby time on the battery is about three months.

I find the same downside charging the Big Boss as I do with other Fun Factory CLICK ‘N’ CHARGE toys. While I love the magnetic charger, it can be a bit tricky. It has a tendency to slip off off here and there so you really have to get the angle just right to ensure this does not happen and I find it necessary to check on it while it’s charging. On the positive side, as the charging mechanism is magnetic, there are no open ports thus allowing the Fun Factory Big Boss to be completely waterproof and submersible.

The other difficulty I have with this vibrator is in pressing the buttons. They are slightly recessed in the loopy handle and I find them a bit difficult to press with my nails. I’m not sure if this would be the case if you don’t have nails. They aren’t crazy difficult to use, just enough to be noticeable. It sometimes takes a few tries for me to turn on the Big Boss.

Fun Factory Big Boss Pros:
• Silicone
• Waterproof
• Rechargeable
• Girthy
• Powerful
• Quiet
• Loopy handle makes thrusting easy

Fun Factory Big Boss Cons:
• Insane lint magnet
• Eats lube
• Difficult to press buttons with nails

The Fun Factory Big Boss is a solid vibrator with a wealth of excellent attributes. I love that it is rechargeable and waterproof. I love even more that it is powerful and quiet. I don’t love how it eats lube and attracts lint. The buttons are a slight nuisance but not a serious detraction and I think it’s more to do with my nails than the design of the toy. Overall, I like the Big Boss and I recommend it for those who like a girthy sex toy that is easy to thrust. From a pure pleasure standpoint the Big Boss would have gotten 4 beans but due to the fact that it drinks lube like a drunk and attracts dust like crazy I had to knock off 1/2 bean.

Head over to Good Vibrations to pick up your own Fun Factory Big Boss and check out their other cool rechargeable vibrators.
