Recently I reviewed the LELO Nea, a small clit stimulator that I liked very much. So I decided it was time to review another LELO clit stimulator that I bought a while ago and have had laying around the house, the LELO SIRI.

As I mentioned before, the LELO SIRI is a small clitoral massager, though it’s quite a bit bigger than the LELO Nea, as you can see. Though bigger than the Nea, the LELO SIRI is still on the small side and fits easily in the palm of my hand. It is 3.75″ long and 1.75″ wide. It is made of ABS and silicone, both of which are great materials for sex toys. The silicone of the LELO SIRI is very soft and smooth, like most of LELO’s toys. It is also latex and phthalate-free, hypoallergenic, and body-safe. These materials can easily be cleaned with antibacterial soap and warm water or your favorite sex toy cleaner. The SIRI is not waterproof, so be careful when washing not to get any fluid in the charging port. You can use a 10% bleach solution on the silicone part of the SIRI, which is the colorful portion. This will sterilize the silicone so you can share your SIRI with non-fluid bonded partners.

As the SIRI is part silicone, and this is the portion you use against the body, you want to use water-based lubricant with it. Silicone-based lube can cause a negative chemical reaction in the silicone of the LELO SIRI. Though the silicone is very smooth without much drag, you might want to use a small amount of water-based lube. This way it will be nice and slippery and slidey against your clit and labia. I generally find my own lubrication sufficient, but I tend toward getting quite wet.

Like all LELO sex toys, the SIRI is rechargeable. You simply plug the charging cord into the port on the back of the vibrator. Charging takes about two hours and while charging the LED will flash white. When the charging is complete, the LED will glow steadily. When the battery is running low, SIRI will let you know with a red glow from the LED. Your two hour charge will provide you with up to four hours of play time, depending on how you use the vibrator.

The design of the LELO SIRI is simple. There are four buttons on the front of the SIRI, +, -, up arrow, and down arrow. To turn the SIRI on and increase intensity, press the + button. To turn decrease intensity and turn the SIRI off, press the – button. You can also hold the – button down for several seconds wherever you are in the stimulation modes to turn the SIRI off. The up and down arrows scroll through the pulsation patterns. When pressing a button, the white LEDs on all the buttons light up. The buttons can also be used to lock the SIRI during travel or storage so that it does not turn on accidentally. Hold down on the + and – buttons for five seconds and watch the LED light up, then turn off. When they turn off, the SIRI is locked. To unlock just do the same thing until the buttons light up again, indicating the SIRI is unlocked.

Be sure to press down firmly on the up and down arrows when scrolling through the pulsation patterns. The stimulation modes on the LELO SIRI are as follows:
1. Steady vibration
2. Slow pulse
3. Fast pulse
4. Long, slow pulse
5. Roller coaster
6. All over the place

The vibrations of the LELO SIRI are nice and deep, and relatively strong, especially for a clit vibrator. The SIRI is not terribly loud, though the person next to you might hear it if they are awake. I don’t know that it would wake anyone from a deep sleep. It certainly cannot be heard through my closed bedroom door.

I really love how the smooth silicone of the LELO SIRI feels against my skin, and I find the control panel very easy to use, even with my long nails. I find the SIRI comfortable to hold. It doesn’t make my hand cramp up or go numb from buzzy vibrations. I like the pulsation patterns quite a bit, especially number six. It’s odd but it does it for me. The SIRI easily brings me to orgasm with it’s strong, deep vibrations. Granted, the vibrations are not the most powerful in the world, but I find them very satisfying. The SIRI also works nicely at stimulating the nipples and labia, and the soft silicone really feels good against the skin. One thing I really love about the SIRI is that I can scroll up and down through the patterns. I don’t have to go through everything and start all over. If I skip the pattern that I want, I can just hit the down arrow and go right back to it. Overall, it’s a great little vibrator that comes in red, pink, and purple.

The packaging of the LELO SIRI is similar to the other LELO packaging I’ve seen. As I have the red SIRI, the outer box is red, with an image of the SIRI on the back. The inner box is the same hard, black box I’ve seen before. It is very sturdy and great for storage. If you don’t want to use the box you can always use the satin storage pouch included by LELO. The SIRI comes in a big plastic bubble sealed inside a cardboard envelope. Also in the box are the charger, a sample of LELO’s water-based lubricant, the one year warranty, and the user manual. The LELO SIRI also comes with a 10 year quality guarantee. If your SIRI breaks any time after the one year warranty has expired, this allows you to purchase a new LELO Pleasure Object at a 50% discount.

LELO SIRI Pros:
• Deep vibrations
• Low battery indicator
• Can scroll up and down through pulsation patterns
• Travel lock
• Soft silicone
• Rechargeable

LELO SIRI Cons:
• Not waterproof

The LELO SIRI is both pretty and functional, and it functions pretty damn well. The vibrations are deep and moderately strong. The silicone is smooth and soft. The buttons are easy to manipulate. The shape is great. It is rechargeable. There are just so many things to love about the LELO SIRI. In fact, I would give it five beans if it was waterproof. Alas, it’s not so I am subtracting one half bean. I love the travel lock, not so much because I travel frequently, but because I can lock the SIRI while I’m storing it. The SIRI comes in attractive colors. It’s one of only a few red vibrators I own as they are hard to come by. If you’re looking for a solid clit vibrator that combines form and function, I highly recommend the LELO SIRI.

I have heard nothing but good things about OhMiBod sex toys so when the opportunity to review one came around, I jumped at it. Just last year, OhMiBod introduced the Freestyle W, the newest of their musical vibrators, and it can be found at MyPleasure.

What makes the OhMiBod Freestyle W stand out from the rest of the OhMiBod line is that it is a rabbit vibrator. I love rabbit vibrators. They allow me to be stimulated both internally and externally at the same time. As I am generally a lazy masturbator, I like to be able to get both types of stimulation from one toy rather than having to use two at once.

The OhMiBod Freestyle W is a good-sized vibrator at 8.75″, with 5″ being insertable, and 1.5″ in diameter. The handle is plastic while the shaft and clitoral arm are made of bright blue silicone. I love the color. Granted, color isn’t a truly important aspect in a vibrator but aesthetics do help. The clitoral arm is almost solid silicone that probably has some wires running through it, while the shaft is silicone wrapped around electronic parts. The top half of the shaft is somewhat flexible, though still firm when I squeeze it. The clitoral arm is also bendy. There is a slight seam running all along the shaft and clitoral arm of the Freestyle W, but I don’t feel it when I’m using the vibrator.

As the OhMiBod Freestyle W is silicone, you want to use water-based lubricant with it because silicone-based lube can react negatively with the silicone of the vibrator. There is quite a bit of drag to the silicone of the Freestyle W so I recommend using using a fair amount of lubricant. The Freestyle W is easy to care for and clean due to the silicone and plastic materials. You can simply use warm water and antibacterial soap, your favorite sex toy cleaner, or a 10% bleach solution on the silicone parts of the vibrator. Cleaning the vibrator with bleach will allow you to share it between non-fluid bonded partners as the bleach sterilizes the silicone. You can also use water or a sex toy cleaner on the plastic handle of the Freestyle W, but it is only splash proof so be careful not to get any fluid in the charging port.

Silicone is latex and phthalate-free, mostly non-porous, and hypoallergenic, so it is a very safe material for sex toys. Just be sure to store your silicone toys separately from each other and other toys to keep any negative chemical reactions from happening. Fortunately, OhMiBod provides you with a satin storage bag or, as they call it, a “privacy pouch” in which to store your Freestyle W.

The OhMiBod Freestyle W has a control pad shaped like a flower that pivots in five directions. There is the little music note which turns on the Music Mode, a symbol that turns on Manual Mode, up and down arrows which control the intensity of the vibrations and cycle through the patterns, and the Off petal. I was a bit confused at first because the arrow that points down is actually the petal that increases the intensity of the vibrations, while the arrow pointing up decreases the intensity. Of course, this is looking at the vibrator straight on. When it is inside me, everything points the way I would expect. When you turn the Freestyle W on in Manual Mode, the LED around the flower lights up. When you turn on Music Mode, the LED flashes.

There are three levels of steady vibration and four pulsation patterns. To increase the intensity of the vibration, push on the down arrow. After the third level of intensity the next press will bring you to the first pulsation pattern. You scroll up through the pulsation patterns with the down arrow. To go back to a different pulsation pattern or the steady vibration, use the up arrow. The Freestyle W has no memory so no matter where you turn it off it always turns on at the lowest level of vibration. I find the flower button a bit difficult to use with my long nails. I sometimes press the Off button when I’m trying to press the down arrow. I’m not sure if this would be an issue sans nails, but it’s possible as there are no discrete buttons. The patterns are as follows:
1. Slow pulse
2. Medium pulse
3. Fast pulse
4. Two short pulses, one long pulse

Of course, one of the main reasons to purchase the OhMiBod Freestyle W is the Music Mode. If you have an iPhone or an iPod Touch, you can purchase an application on the Apple App Store for $.99 that will allow you to interact with your Freestyle W via music. One very cool thing about this is that you can do it without having to attach any wires to the Freestyle W. You simply press the Music Mode button, then connect the included transmitter to your iPhone or iPod. You then connect your earbuds to the other side of the transmitter or you can use the included cable to connect the transmitter to the AUX-In on your stereo or speakers. Use the dial on the side of the transmitter to turn it on and adjust the Freestyle W’s sensitivity to the music. Unfortunately, I don’t have an iPhone and my iPod has been acting up so I haven’t purchased the OhMiBod app, which is called OhMiBod Remote. I think it would be great if OhMiBod put out an Android application considering the size of the Android market.

For some reason I was expecting the OhMiBod Freestyle W to be very powerful and it really isn’t. Even with its three speeds, it is only moderate in intensity. The vibrations are also moderate in sensation. They are more middle of the road, definitely not deep and rumbly, but not really buzzy either. They do the job but are nothing to write home about. One good thing about the Freestyle W is that it isn’t terribly loud. You can certainly hear it if you’re in the same room but you can’t hear it all through a closed door.

I like the OhMiBod Freestyle W well enough but it doesn’t rock my world. I don’t really notice the waves when thrusting like I was hoping I would. The vibrations are weaker than I was expecting which was a disappointment, and they are not as deep I would like. Nonetheless, the OhMiBod Freestyle W does bring me to orgasm, albeit on the highest level of intensity only. I do like the patterns, which run at the highest level of intensity. The Freestyle W also fits my body well. The clitoral arm curves around and hits my clit while the shaft is penetrating me and provides a bit of pressure, which I really like. ly move it up and down. If you need it in a different position, you are out of luck.

The OhMiBod Freestyle W is rechargeable and requires two hours to charge fully, though mine did arrive with some charge to it. This two hour charge will provide you with up to three hours of play time, depending upon how you use the Freestyle W, and 60 days of standby time. While charging, the LED around the control panel will flash and the LED on the charger will glow red. When charging is complete the LED on the charger will glow green to let you know the charging is done.

The packaging of the OhMiBod Freestyle W is surprisingly huge. This is because OhMiBod includes the charging plug in a U.S. format, along with three adapters for other countries. This is very kind of them, though unnecessary for me as I have no immediate plans to travel out of the country with my Freestyle W. I suppose it keeps OhMiBod from having to issue different versions for different countries. Of course, if you are traveling out of the country this will make it easy. Also included in the very large and sturdy box are the music transmitter with its required two AAA batteries (kudos to OhMiBod for including the batteries), the cable you need for Music Mode, the satin privacy pouch, and the user manual. As I mentioned, the box is quite sturdy and serves well for storing all the bits and pieces included with the Freestyle W, but it is also large and takes up a lot of room. If you don’t have the storage space, you might just want to store the Freestyle W in the privacy pouch and the rest of the pieces in a plastic baggie. OhMiBod provides a three year standard warranty on the Freestyle W, which is quite good.

OhMiBod Freestyle W Pros:
• Silicone
• Rechargeable
• Foreign chargers included
• Blue
• Music Mode
• Storage bag

OhMiBod Freestyle W Cons:
• Not the strongest or deepest vibrations
• Control pad a bit difficult to press with nails
• OhMiBod Remote application only available for iPhone/iPod

The OhMiBod line of sex toys offers a unique experience that can’t really be found elsewhere. It’s really too bad that the OhMiBod Remote application is not available for Android. I would have liked to take advantage of the Freestyle W’s Music Mode. Other than that, the Freestyle W is a relatively standard rabbit vibrator in a nifty blue silicone. I find the control button a bit challenging to use but I think that is probably a long nail issue rather than a flaw in the design. I am less than thrilled with the vibrations of the OhMiBod Freestyle W, which is really where it disappoints me. While I can get off with this vibrator, not everyone will be able to because the vibrations are not terribly strong. Still, the shape does work for me so the vibrator is not a total dud. If you have an iPhone, the desire to play with the Music Mode, and don’t need super strong vibrations, the Freestyle W is probably worth the investment. You can purchase your very own OhMiBod Freestyle W at MyPleasure.

Bean Fiddler Rating:

If you’ve spent any time here on Bean Fiddler, you know I have a respectable collection of sex toys. I am very fond of Rabbit Vibrators and I love trying them out. I also like a remote controlled toy, so I was pleased to have the opportunity to test out the Remote Rabbit from MyPleasure.

The Remote Rabbit is 9.5″ long, with 5.5″ being insertable, and 1.5″ in diameter. It is made of TPE, which is similar to TPR. It is soft and squishy and comfortable to use. TPE is porous so don’t share it between non-fluid bonded partners unless you use a condom on it. Even then, I wouldn’t recommend it because of the rabbit attachment. I suppose you could also put on a condom on that piece but I just don’t feel it’s a good idea. To be completely safe, keep this vibrator to yourself or share only with your fluid bonded partner.

You can use the Remote Rabbit with both water-based and silicone-based lubricants. There is quite a lot of drag to the Remote Rabbit so I recommend using a good amount of whatever lube you prefer. There is so much drag that storing it is kind of amusing as it wants to stick to the plastic bag, so it’s a bit tricky getting it in and out of there.

As it does not come with any user manual, I am uncertain if the Remote Rabbit is waterproof but I doubt it. As long as you keep the bottom of the shaft, where the battery compartment is, from getting wet I think you’ll be fine. To clean, you can carefully wash your Remote Rabbit with antibacterial soap and warm water or use your favorite sex toy cleaner. Do not use anything harsh, like bleach.

The Remote Rabbit operates on three AAA batteries, which are not included with the vibrator. These batteries fit into a cool little cartridge attached to the bottom of the vibrator that pulls completely out. The batteries do like to pop out of the cartridge when it’s not inside the vibrator, so watch out for that. You know how I always recommend storing your sex toys without the batteries in them? Well, I do this with mine. However, I don’t always remove the batteries right after playing with the vibrator if I’m planning on using it again in the very near future. This turned out to be a mistake with my Remote Rabbit. It seems this vibrator is possessed. Twice in the middle of the night it turned itself on and woke me up, startling me. Oddly enough, only the rotating feature turned on. I wasn’t smart enough to think about removing the battery pack the first time it happened. Of course, it was the middle of the night and I was sound asleep.

The Remote Rabbit has two separate motors, one that causes the shaft to rotate and one that vibrates the clitoral rabbit attachment. These motors are separately controlled by the included remote. The remote for the Remote Rabbit is 3.25″ long and 1.75″ wide. It is lightweight and fits comfortably in the palm of the hand. It requires one 23A 12V battery, which MyPleasure kindly includes in the packaging. I appreciate this as I don’t have 12V batteries just laying around the house, considering it’s not the most common of battery sizes. The remote is easy to use and the screen lights up when it is turned on. There are three buttons on the remote, On/Off, Vibe, and Rotate. This is pretty self-explanatory. You use the On/Off button to turn the remote on and off. The Vibe button turns on the rabbit attachment and controls its intensity. The Rotate button does the same for the shaft. There is a button on the base of the Remote Rabbit that you must press to turn it on before you can use the remote control with it. The remote works at about 30 feet away from the vibrator and it worked through two walls which was pretty impressive. You can only use the Remote Rabbit with the remote control. It cannot be used on it’s own. This means if your remote has a dead battery and you don’t have new one you are out of luck, which is a bit of a downside.

Both the rabbit attachment and the shaft of the Remote Rabbit have three speeds and two patterns. The patterns of the shaft are somewhat funny because I’ve never had a rabbit with shaft rotation patterns. The first pattern has the shaft rotating to the right and then to the left, back and forth. The second pattern does the same for a longer rotation. I don’t really enjoy them in use though because they don’t do much for me. It’s more annoying than anything.

The shape of the Remote Rabbit is somewhat realistic. Well, as realistic as a purple vibrator with a bunny attachment can be. There is a tapered head that allows the vibrator to slip inside me easily, and ribbing around the shaft. I don’t feel the ribbing when the Remote Rabbit is inside me. The metal beads inside the shaft are on a track which keeps them from being displaced which has happened with some rabbit vibrators I have tried. The rabbit has very soft, bendy ears which are good for clit stimulation. The vibrations of the rabbit are mid-range and not buzzy. Unfortunately they are not very powerful. On the first level of intensity I can barely tell it’s on. The third level will be strong enough to get some people off, but I have yet to orgasm with the Remote Rabbit. If you need very strong vibrations, this is not the rabbit for you.

On the other hand, the shaft rotations are quite strong. Some rabbit vibes have rotations that are not powerful enough, so when I clamp down on them they stop rotating. This does not happen with the Remote Rabbit. However, if I’m using it hands-free and I don’t clamp down it rotates itself right out of my body, so it really isn’t a hands-free vibrator. The rotations are also not very wide so I find the sensation inside me to be rather minimal. The Remote Rabbit is definitely on the loud side and the rabbit attachment gives off a small whine when it’s at its highest intensity.

So how well does the Remote Rabbit get me off? Not well at all. I find the rotations to be unimpressive to a great degree, so I’m not getting the sensation I want. When it comes to the rabbit attachment, the vibrations are far too weak to really bring me to orgasm. Perhaps if I were more patient and willing to wait it out, it would happen. I’m not, however. It just doesn’t feel good enough.

The packaging of the Remote Rabbit is very minimal and is basically like the packaging of the Red Remote Control Egg from MyPleasure. The vibrator and remote come in a plastic bag that can be reused for storage. Inside the bag the vibrator is shrink-wrapped in plastic and the remote is in a little plastic bag. This bag comes wrapped in bubble wrap to protect the vibrator and remote. Though I am a fan of fancy packaging, I also like this minimal packaging. There’s not a bunch of stuff to throw away or recycle and the bag can be reused. This probably helps keep the cost down on the Remote Rabbit, which is always a good thing.

Remote Rabbit Pros:
• Remote control
• Can be used with both water-based and silicone-based lube

Remote Rabbit Cons:
• Rabbit attachment not very powerful
• Rotations not very wide
• Can only be used with remote
• Loud

Overall, the Remote Rabbit is not my favorite rabbit vibrator. While there are things to like about it, there are more aspects that I dislike. I really want the rabbit to be much stronger and the rotations to be wider. I can live with the fact that I can only use it with the remote and I’m fine with the loudness because I live by myself. I like that I can use whatever lube I want with it but what’s the point if I can’t orgasm? For this reason I have to give the Remote Rabbit low marks. You can purchase the Remote Rabbit atMyPleasure or their check out their other rabbit vibrators.

Bean Fiddler Rating:

Not that long ago I reviewed the Jopen Vanity Vr5.5, which I really liked, and a while back I reviewed the Vanity Vr10, which I didn’t like as much. Today I thought we would take a look at another Jopen vibrator, the Vanity Vr3.

Considering that Jopen is the sister company to California Exotics, a company that rarely thrills me, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the Vr3. The Jopen Vanity Vr3 is a rabbit vibrator that is completely covered in silicone. There is no give to the insertable portion or the clit stimulator, but there is some flexibility at their bases. This allows you to push down on the clit stimulator if you need more contact with or pressure on your clit during play.

The fact that this vibrator is completely covered in silicone means it is waterproof, which I love. This makes cleaning the Vanity Vr3 super easy. While you can use your favorite sex toy cleaner, I just wash it in the sink with antibacterial soap and warm water. As the Vr3 is silicone you can also use a 10% bleach solution to sterilize it so you can use it with non-fluid bonded partners. Of course, silicone is great for sex toys as it is latex and phthalate-free, hypoallergenic, and body-safe.

The silicone of the Vanity Vr3 has a tendency to collect lint, dust, and hair like many of my silicone sex toys, which is a drag. Speaking of drag, there is a good amount with the Vr3 so be sure to use water-based lubricant. You want to avoid silicone-based lubes which might have a negative chemical reaction with the silicone of the Vanity Vr3.

The Vanity Vr3 is 6.5″ in length, with 3.5″ being insertable, and 1.5″ in diameter. The clit attachment is approximately 1.5″ long. The insertable portion bulges out in order to provide g-spot stimulation. This vibrator is rechargeable through a port in the bottom of the base. This port is covered with silicone that slightly parts as you insert the charging prong. It closes up when the charger is removed. During charging a red LED lights up at the base of the vibrator. I’m not certain how long it takes to fully charge the Vanity Vr3 because I usually charge it overnight, which is plenty of time.

With its two button control panel, the Vanity Vr3 is simple to operate. The top button controls the internal portion while the bottom button controls the clit stimulator. To turn it on or off, just press one or both of the buttons. To increase the intensity, press and hold down on the button. When the vibrator is on the LED for the corresponding motor lights up. When holding down the button to increase the power, the LED blinks. The Vr3 has no memory so it always starts at the lowest level of vibration no matter where you turn it off. I sometimes get a little confused and accidentally turn the vibrator off when I am trying to increase the power as many of my vibrators require me to push the button rather than holding it down to do this.

Just like the other Jopen vibrators, the Vanity Vr3 has a travel lock which is pretty great. Press down on both buttons and hold for four seconds to lock. Do the same to unlock. While locking, the LED lights will go on then turn off letting you know the vibrator is locked. When unlocking, the bottom LED light turns on, then when the vibrator is unlocked, the top light turns on too. Though I don’t do a lot of traveling I still appreciate a travel lock on my sex toys. I often use it even when the toys are stored to make sure they don’t accidentally turn on.

The vibrations of the Vanity Vr3 are deep and rumbly and quite strong. They are on par with the vibrations of the Jopen Vanity Vr5.5, which I really like. The vibrator is fairly quiet. I can hear it underneath the blankets but not through a closed door. The bulging insertable portion hits my g-spot slightly when thrusting. I did find the Vanity Vr5.5 to be on the short side for thrusting and the Vr3 is about .5″ shorter so thrusting is even more of a challenge. However, the real problem with this vibrator is that it doesn’t fit my body very well. The clit attachment sits too far away from my body and I have to press down on it to maintain contact with my clit. This is just annoying during play. Of course, this is always the risk with rabbit vibrators, sometimes they fit and sometimes they don’t.

I’ve already mentioned in my other reviews that I’m not terribly impressed with the Jopen packaging. It doesn’t really match the high price tag of the Vr3. It’s a simple box with the vibrator, charger, and basic information inside. Jopen considerately includes a storage bag for the Vr3. However, it is huge. I use it for the Vr3, my Eroscillator and its attachments, and I still have a ton of room left over. Me thinks it is just too big for it’s purpose. Still, it is a storage bag and I appreciate that tremendously. However, I am noticing the storage bag doesn’t seem to keep all the lint and such off the Vanity Vr3, though I haven’t figured out why. Considering it’s important to wash the vibrator before and after use it’s not the biggest deal in the world but I do find it slightly annoying.

Jopen Vanity Vr3 Pros:
• Silicone
• Dual Motors
• Rumbly, strong vibrations
• Rechargeable
• Travel lock
• Storage bag

Jopen Vanity Vr3 Cons:
• Not a great fit for my body
• Short handle

The Jopen Vanity Vr3 has much in common with the Jopen Vanity Vr5.5, of which I am a huge fan. Both vibrators have the same smooth silicone and the same deep and powerful vibrations. Both are waterproof and rechargeable with travel locks. However, while the Vanity Vr5.5 fits my body so well, the Vr3 does not. The damn clit attachment just sits too far away from my body to easily hit my clit. However, this really is a case in which there is nothing wrong with the vibrator, it just isn’t a good fit for my body. I am scoring it rather low because it doesn’t work well for me, but if you think it will fit your body well then I do recommend it. For the most part, it is a really good vibrator. In fact, if it fit my body better I’d give it four beans. It’s just that the Vr5.5 is a much better fit for me.

Bean Fiddler Rating:

I’m the first to admit, when it comes to sex toys I tend to prefer vibrators over dildos. That’s what really gets me off. However, I do love the feeling of being filled and thrusting something (or having something thrust) inside me. When I want that feeling I will often use one toy inside me and one on my clit. That’s where a good dildo comes in, like the Smooth Lover from MyPleasure.

The Smooth Lover is a 100% Japanese platinum silicone dildo made by Ophoria. Ophoria calls it the Pleasure No. 6 which is a pretty lame name, though I’m not sure Smooth Lover is totally appropriate as it isn’t completely smooth. This pretty in pink dildo has some lovely scroll work on the sides as well as a pearl detail underneath the head and at its base. In fact, it looks to me like a dildo wearing a pearl choker. I’ve never had a dildo that wears jewelry before but the Smooth Lover is quite fetching with its decorative sides and pearl necklace.

As I mentioned, the Smooth Lover is made of 100% silicone which means it is latex and phthalate-free, hypoallergenic, and body-safe. This makes the Smooth Lover good for most people unless you’ve specifically got a silicone allergy. The silicone is very easy to care for and clean. You can wash it with warm water and antibacterial soap, use your favorite toy cleaner, or a 10% bleach solution to sterilize it. As an added bonus, because there are no electrical parts, you can boil the Smooth Lover for 3-5 minutes to sterilize it as well. Doing this will allow you to safely and responsibly share your Smooth Lover with a non-fluid bonded partner. It will also allow you to go from anal to vaginal play if you so desire. However, if you are going to use the Smooth Lover anally, be very careful and keep a firm grip as there is not much of a flange to keep it from slipping inside your anus completely. Due to this, I do not use it anally.

As the Smooth Lover is silicone, you want to use water-based lubricant with it. Silicone-based lubes can react with the silicone of the dildo leaving it tacky which would be most unpleasant. If you have your heart set on using a silicone-based lubricant with this dildo, use a high quality silicone lube and do a test patch at the base of the dildo to make sure there is no negative reaction.

One cool thing about the Smooth Lover is that is has a suction cup at its base. This is my first suction cup dildo and I am thoroughly impressed. It sticks to everything, the shower wall, my bedside table, my MacBook Pro, even my forehead. That’s right, I can be a dildo unicorn if I want. This suction cup will allow you to ride the Smooth Lover basically anywhere you can stick it. Granted, I’m probably a bit tame in the way I use it and I do tend to use it more for thrusting, but you can be as creative as you like.

Where there is no design the Smooth Lover is very smooth and soft. The solid silicone is firm with little give and has no scent or taste. There is a seam down the front and back of the dildo that I can easily feel with my fingers. However, I do not feel this seam with the Smooth Lover inside me. Nor do I feel the scroll work which is raised. It’s just not enough of a difference in texture for me to feel it. The Smooth Lover is a straight dildo and as such really does not hit my g-spot. As I mentioned above, I mostly use this dildo for thrusting as I’m not much of a ride ‘em cowgirl type. There is a little drag with the Smooth Lover but it doesn’t require a huge amount of lubricant.

The Smooth Lover is 6″ long, with almost all of that being insertable, and 1.25″ in diameter. I find it to be on the smaller side girth-wise. I tend to prefer thicker dildos most of the time, but at times during my cycle a thick toy can be too much. This dildo is comfortable during those times. It also does not require warm up and needs less lube than my thicker dildos.

The packaging of the Smooth Lover is quite simple. It comes in a box with a cutout on the front that shows the dildo. There is some very basic information on the back in six languages. Inside the box the Smooth Lover rests in a plastic clam shell. There is small instruction manual that also displays Ophoria’s line of sex toys. It is very basic and gives directions for their vibrating toys as well. The packaging is recyclable and definitely takes up more room than the dildo so you’re probably better off storing it in some sort of toy bag or ziploc bag. You want to keep your toys from touching so there are no negative chemical reactions.

Smooth Lover Pros:
• Silicone
• Suction cup
• Comfortable
• Requires minimum lubricant
• Not a lint magnet
• Pretty

Smooth Lover Cons:
• Not very girthy

The Smooth Lover is a pretty little dildo that appeals to me aesthetically. I’m not a huge fan of realistic dildos so I like the color and the designs. I especially like that pearl choker. I like the feel of the Ophoria silicone. It has little drag, is nice and smooth, and does not attract lint and dust, which is always a bonus with silicone. I like the suction cup. It’s just fun to stick the Smooth Lover to things. However, it really is useful if you are a rider because it sticks and stays very well. I do tend to prefer my dildos be girthier, but it’s nice to have a dildo that is less girthy once in a while and I think the Smooth Lover will definitely be good for those who don’t like their dildos so thick. Overall, this is a solid dildo that I can strongly recommend. You can check out the Smooth Lover at MyPleasure.
