Rocks-Off RO-150mm Slimiline Vibrator Review

A while back I reviewed the Rocks-Off RO-160mm Vibrator, and while I didn’t love it, there were definitely some things I liked about it. Rocks-Off was kind enough to send me it’s little cousin, the Rocks-Off RO-150mm Slimline Vibrator to review.

Rocks-Off RO-150mm Slimline Vibrator

The Rocks-Off RO-150mm Slimline Vibrator is part of the Rocks-Off line of bullet vibrators, which is amusing because it is so not what I consider a typical bullet. At 5.75″ in length, with 5″ being insertable, the RO-150 Slimline is much larger than an average bullet vibrator, which typically is too small to be inserted. Though I like the compactness of a bullet, I generally find them difficult to use because there isn’t enough length to hold onto during use. The 1″ diameter of the RO-150mm Slimline is certainly within the range of the average bullet vibrator.

The gold color of the Rocks-Off RO-150mm Slimline Vibrator reminds me of the 70s. It is classy looking with its metallic plated ABS design. ABS is a good material for sex toys because it’s latex and phthalate-free and non-porous so it doesn’t hold on to any bacteria that may be floating around. The other advantage of ABS is that it can be used with either water or silicone-based lubricants, as opposed to silicone sex toys which can only be used with water-based lube.

Of course, it is very important to clean your Rocks-Off RO-150mm Slimline Vibrator before and after every use. With ABS you have several options for keeping it clean. You can use warm water and antibacterial soap, a sex toy cleaner, or rubbing alcohol. I rarely use rubbing alcohol on my sex toys as I prefer to use soap and water most of the time, especially with waterproof vibrators like this one. You might want to do a spot test if you’re planning on using alcohol to make sure it doesn’t remove or tarnish the gold finish.

The Rocks-Off RO-150mm Slimline Vibrator runs on two 1.5v N size batteries, which Rocks-Off has been kind enough to include. They come already inside the vibrator with a little disc of paper keeping them from touching the contacts of the screw on cap of the battery compartment. This way the vibrator doesn’t run down the batteries or turn on accidentally. You definitely want to store your RO-150mm Slimline without the batteries inside or with the paper disc in place. Otherwise, not only do you run the risk of the vibrator turning on in storage, but you can also deplete the batteries or cause the contacts to corrode over time. N batteries are not my favorite because they tend to cause buzzier vibrations and are more difficult to find than AAA or AA. It seems like two of them is about the same size as one AAA, so I wonder why Rocks-Off went with N batteries. There’s probably a good technical reason that I just don’t understand.

Rocks-Off RO-150mm Slimline Vibrator

With it’s single black push button, the Rocks-Off RO-150mm Slimline Vibrator is simple to use. The button is on the base of the battery cap and is easy to press. It has good feedback, and while it presses easily it does require some force so you don’t have to worry you’ll accidentally change modes while using the vibrator. The RO-150mm Slimline has five modes of vibration. They are as follows:
1. Low steady vibration
2. High steady vibration
3. Slow pulse
4. Medium pulse
5. Fast pulse

The vibrations of Rocks-Off RO-150mm Slimline Vibrator are disappointingly weak, though I suppose it shouldn’t really be a surprise based on the N batteries. They usually don’t provide enough of a punch for me. The low setting is far too low to provide much stimulation other than a slight tease. I can get off with the high setting but the orgasms are moderate, nothing earth shattering. These vibrations will definitely not be strong enough for some people. I also find the vibrations to be very light and buzzy, again common with this type of battery. Though they aren’t buzzy enough to hurt my clit, they remind me of vibes that do. I also feel the vibrations a bit in my hand, though the length of the vibrator does provide some protection.

Though there some things to like about the Rocks-Off RO-150mm Slimline Vibrator, it really isn’t my cup of tea. It can bring me to orgasm but it doesn’t do it in the most comfortable or pleasant way. The orgasms I do have with this vibrator aren’t the greatest either. I normally enjoy patterns and I do like the ones on the Rocks-Off RO-160mm Vibrator, but these are much weaker so they don’t get me off. I need the constant vibration to eventually orgasm. I just find that the vibrations are too weak and buzzy for me to really enjoy the RO-150mm Slimline, even though it does get me off. It’s almost as if my body is having a grudging orgasm.

Rocks-Off RO-150mm Slimline Vibrator Packaging

I quite like the packaging of the Rocks-Off RO-150mm slimline. It’s compact but sturdy and reusable. The RO-150mm Slimline Vibrator comes in a hard black box with a hinged lid that has a plastic window in it. While the window does make it look nice and provide a view of the vibrator, it also keeps the packaging from being discreet. You can certainly tell that it’s a vibrator just by looking at it. On the other hand, if you do want to give it as a gift and have no qualms about people knowing what it is, the box is lovely and easy to wrap. Inside the box the RO-150mm Slimline sits in a black velvety cutout so it is secure. Though the box does take up more space than the vibrator itself, it is strong enough to be used for storage if you’ve got the room.

Rocks-Off RO-150mm Slimline Vibrator Pros:
• Good length
• Easy to use
• Attractive
• Waterproof
• Batteries included

Rocks-Off RO-150mm Slimline Vibrator Cons:
• Buzzy vibrations
• Weak vibrations
• Difficult to find batteries

While I like the design and look of the Rocks-Off RO-150mm Slimline and I love that it’s waterproof, it really is not a vibrator I can recommend to most people. The vibrations are too weak and buzzy for me to like them even if I can orgasm from them. On the other hand, it is waterproof, it’s easy to use, I like the extended length, and the batteries are included. Still, that’s not enough for me to give it a high rating. For people like me who prefer deep, thumpy vibrations and for those who need power, this vibrator is not the one. For those people who actually prefer buzzy vibrations and don’t need a lot of power, this is a solid twist on the classic bullet with some additional good qualities. You can check out the Rocks-Off RO-150mm Slimline Vibrator along with the other Rocks-Off products over on their website.

Sqweel 2 Review

Ever since I saw the Sqweel online I have wanted to try it. I love having oral sex performed on me, and while I have a ton of vibrators, I have never had a sex toy that simulates oral sex. I think the idea is great and it’s such a unique looking toy. Having read a lot about the Sqweel, I was curious but not in a big hurry to pick one up based on some of the negative reviews. However, when the Sqweel 2 came out I decided I had to give it a whirl. Luckily for me, FunWares carries it so I was able to get my hands on one.

Sqweel 2

The Sqweel 2 is made by Lovehoney, a UK-based sex toy company that makes a number of other products, such as my Shag Factory Flower Power, and Realistic Oh! Rabbit Vibrator. I met some of the UK folks from Lovehoney last year at ANE, as well as their American counterparts, and they were all delightful. Lovehoney is also responsible for the original Sqweel, which is supposed to be much less powerful than the Sqweel 2. I’m afraid I can’t really do a comparison though as I don’t have the original.

The Sqweel 2 is a good-sized toy measuring at 4.5″ by 4.5″. Though it looks quite large, it is lightweight and feels comfortable in my hand. The indented sides allow for a good grip during play while permitting access to the control panel. There are three main pieces to the Sqweel 2, the body with the control panel, the hood that covers the tongues, and the wheel of 10 tongues. The body and hood of the Sqweel 2 are made of plastic, while the tongues are silicone. My Sqweel 2 is black plastic but it also comes in white. The plastic hood is clear on both models and is used to protect the tongues from getting dusty or squashed up against things that could damage them.

As the tongues are silicone, it is best to use water-based lubricant with the Sqweel 2. Silicone-based lubes can interact with the silicone of the tongues causing them to break down. The silicone tongues are what touch your body for the most part, though sometimes my labia will rub up against the plastic. When this happens you want to be sure to wash the body as well as the tongues. Of course, it is important to wash your sex toys before and after each use for hygienic purposes. Cleaning the Sqweel 2 is relatively easy but a bit more time consuming than most of my other sex toys. First, you push down and up on the center of the Sqweel 2 in order to remove the front of the toy. This gives you access to the tongue wheel. You slide this wheel off and clean it with antibacterial soap and warm water or a sex toy cleaner, or you can spray it with a 10% bleach solution. I would be careful with the bleach and I wouldn’t boil it as there is a plastic piece in the center of the tongue wheel that fits onto the case of the toy. To make sure the external plastic case is clean, carefully wipe it down with warm water and antibacterial soap or a sex toy cleaner. You can also use rubbing alcohol on the plastic but not on the silicone. Be careful when cleaning the plastic case as the battery compartment is at the back and it is not waterproofed.

Both plastic and silicone are good materials for sex toys as both are latex and phthalate-free and hypoallergenic. Plastic is also non-porous while silicone has teeny, tiny pores that are not big enough to really absorb anything. The plastic of the Sqweel 2 is very shiny, while the pink silicone tongues have a matte look to them. The silicone has a bit of drag so I would definitely recommend using a bit of water-based lube. I’m guessing the success of this toy has much to do with the level of lubrication. The tongues have a fine seam down the middle of each one that I can feel with my fingers but can’t feel against my clit.

The control panel of the Sqweel 2 is easy to use. It is made up of two buttons and a sliding switch. Button 1 is the larger button and it has a play symbol on it. Button 2 is smaller and looks like a power button, which is what I expected it to be but it’s not. To turn the Sqweel 2 on, press down on Button 1. This starts the tongues spinning in one direction. To change direction, press down on Button 2. To change direction again, press Button 2 again. On your third press of Button 2, the tongues will flick back and forth from one direction to the other. Apparently, reversing directions and the flicking motion are new additions to the Sqweel 2′s repertoire. There are three levels of intensity on the Sqweel 2 and you cycle through those by pressing on Button 1. To turn the Sqweel 2 off, press and hold Button 1 for approximately 2 seconds. Both buttons light up blue when the toy is on. There is a sliding switch that has little locked and unlocked icons, which lead me to believe it is a locking mechanism. However, I cannot get it to work. It doesn’t lock and keep the toy from turning on, nor does it lock and keep it from turning off or changing modes. I find this totally confusing. Of course, it’s possible I have a defective unit and the locking feature just doesn’t work on mine. There is no information about it in the owner’s manual so maybe it is something else entirely and I just haven’t figured it out yet.

The Sqweel 2 takes three AAA batteries, which are not included in the box. The batteries fit into the compartment in the back which is easy to open and close. Remember to remove the batteries from your Sqweel 2 before storing it, as leaving them in could drain your batteries and damage the toy. Even the owner’s manual makes a note of this. It is especially easy to accidentally hit the button and turn the Sqweel 2 on so I imagine this could happen in storage as well, another good reason not to leave the batteries in.

In use the Sqweel 2 is…well, interesting. It is certainly unlike any of my other sex toys and feels very unique on my body. It makes a great warm up toy, especially on my nipples. It doesn’t really feel like someone is licking them but it’s a much different sensation than a vibrator. Those little tongues lapping against my nipple feels just amazing. I prefer using the reverse direction on my nipples as it seems to hit them just right. Using the forward motion slows the tongues down a bit and making it somehwat choppy. The Sqweel 2 also feels pretty great against my clit. Again, it’s not the same as oral sex (obviously) but there is a definite sensation of licking. There is obviously a difference between using the Sweel 2 on a forward or backward setting but I don’t really know which one I like better on my clit. The flicking back and forth motion is good as well. I think these were strong additions to the Sqweel 2.

Using the Sqweel 2 makes me wish I had the original so I could compare the power of the two. I find the Sqweel 2 to be more powerful than I expected, but my expectations were lower than my hopes so that could be the reason. You do have to very careful not to press the Sqweel 2 against the body too much or it will stop. It just can’t handle the pressure. This makes me realize how much I actually need pressure to orgasm, which I don’t notice as much with other sex toys as I can apply pressure with them. The Sqweel 2 turns me on when I use it on my nipples as well as on my clit. I really like using it on my nipples while using a separate vibrator on my clit. It does such a great job at stimulating my nipples. I’m just not sure I really have the patience to use it by itself that much of the time. It takes such a long time to orgasm just using the Sqweel 2 that I get impatient and want to move on to another sex toy. I always thought warm-up toys were kinda dumb. What’s the point in having it around if it doesn’t do the job? With the Sqweel 2, I see the point. It really has the capacity to rev me up. I’m just not sure it can always finish me off.

The packaging for the Sqweel 2 is simple and totally indiscreet. Not only do you see the Sqweel 2 up front and center through the plastic clamshell, it says, “ORAL SEX TOY” in ginormous letters on the front and back of the box. Lovehoney wants everyone to know the purpose of this sex toy. The box itself is a typical cardboard box with an open front. Inside the box the Sqweel 2 sits on a white plastic tray with a clear plastic tightly fitting lid. This plastic is very flimsy so I don’t think it’s a good option for storage. Considering the outside of the toy is a sturdy plastic and it has a lid that covers the tongues, you can pretty much just toss it into your toy chest as is. Also included in the box is a small owner’s guide. The instructions are very basic on how to use and clean the Sqweel 2. I would have liked a bit more information, such as details about the materials and locking mechanism, especially for newbies. For example, it says to apply water-based lubricant to the tongues and your clit but doesn’t explain this is because the tongues are silicone. People unfamiliar with such products might think the silicone or hybrid lube they have on hand is perfectly fine. It also says nothing about the locking mechanism.

Sqweel 2 Pros:
• Excellent stimulation
• Strong rotations
• Silicone

Sqweel 2 Cons:
• Can’t put enough pressure on clit
• Cleaning takes longer than most other toys
• Noisy
• Locking mechanism doesn’t work (may just be mine or not a locking mechanism at all)
• Owner’s manual

The Sqweel 2 is such an unusual toy I find it slightly difficult to describe the sensations. It’s almost one of those situations where you’ve got to feel it yourself to know if you’ll like it. As I mentioned before, though I was hoping I would like it I wasn’t sure that I would. I do. Where I’m on the fence is in its power to make me orgasm all by its lonesome. The lack of pressure is a challenge for me but I think that’s just the nature of the beast rather than a flaw in the Sqweel 2. It’s fantastic on my nipples and never gives me a numb, buzzy or painful, over-sensitive feeling in my nipples or clit. While it may end up being more of a warm up/nipple toy than a main eventor for me, I really like it and it has a very special place in my toy box. If you don’t require pressure on your clit to orgasm, you may very well fall in love with the Sqweel 2. As a nipple and warm-up toy I’d give the Sqweel 4.5 stars but as clit/orgasm inducing toy it fails for me so I’d give it a 1.5 stars, which averages out to 3 stars. However, I’m giving it an extra .5 stars because it is just so unique.

There is a Black Sqweel 2 and a White Sqweel 2 available at FunWares, along with the three different Sqweelers. Sqweelers are tongue wheels that you can insert into your Sqweel 2 casing for a different experience. There is the Sqweeler Pearl Tongue, the Sqweeler Tingle Tongue, and the Sqweeler Wave Tongue Sqweel Wheels. There is also the Sqweevee Flexible Vibrator Case for the Sqweel 2 that allows you to attache a vibrator to the toy so you can experience the unique lapping sensation along with penetration. Keep in mind you will receive a 10% discount on your entire FunWares order by using code: FIDDLER at checkout!

LELO INA 2 Review

A few weeks ago I reviewed the LELO INA, a vibrator that I had wanted to try for a long time. I was sad to discover that I didn’t like the INA much, mostly because it was significantly lacking in power. I was not the only person to have this complaint and LELO is a company that listens to its customers. Just like with its update of the Tiani 2 and the TOR II, LELO has just released a new version of the INA, the LELO INA 2.

LELO INA 2 Vibrator

For those of you who haven’t read my review of the LELO INA, I will continue with my full review of the LELO INA 2 shortly. First let’s discuss the differences between the two vibrators. There are five differences that I’ve noticed.

1. Power: The is the most important improvement as far as I am concerned because a lack of power is why I didn’t like the INA. The INA 2 reportedly has 100% more power than it’s counterpart. I’m not sure I would say the INA 2 is twice as powerful as the INA but it is significantly more powerful. I find the INA 2 more than sufficient to easily bring me to orgasm. It is no Hitachi Magic Wand but the vibrations are very powerful and should be pleasing to most people.

2. Waterproof: Another important improvement. I really prefer my vibrators to be waterproof even if I don’t take them into the shower and bath much. It makes cleaning them so much easier. I can just toss them in the sink without having to worry about water ruining them. The control panel on the old INA has buttons that are set into the base. There are very small seams around these buttons where water could seep into the electrical bits. On the INA 2, the buttons are set more on top of the base so there is no possibility of water leakage. Though I don’t see a difference between the old silicone charging plug and the new one, LELO has assured me the INA 2 is fully waterproof and can be submerged. I have not taken mine in the bath but can confirm that it does work when fully underwater.

3. Shape: Though I was comfortable with the placement of the clit arm, I think many women felt it fit them too snugly. LELO decided to move the arm further down the shaft and seat it further away from the shaft so it would not pinch down on the clit. As you can see in the images below, the difference between the location of the clit arm on the INA 2 versus the INA is quite noteworthy. The clit arm is also much more flexible on the INA 2 than on the old INA.

4. Sound: This is not an official change that LELO is touting and it may just be that I have a particularly loud INA, but I notice a huge difference in the type and level of sound between the two vibrators. My old INA is quiet on lower settings but the clit arm quite loud on the highest levels of vibration. In addition to being loud, it has an odd sort of buzzing sound that makes it even louder. The INA 2 is much quieter and the buzzing sound is completely absent. I’m not sure if others have experienced this type of difference, but I would be interested in hearing from people on this topic.

5. User Manual: There is a new user manual that is not specific to the LELO INA 2 and has no detailed information about the vibrator. I’m accustomed to very detailed LELO manuals and I dislike that they have been changed. I realize this makes it easier for LELO as they can just toss the same user manual in with all their products but I think it does a disservice to the consumer, especially people who are not sex toy experts and actually need more useful information than the manual provides. It is also confusing because the box says the INA 2 is waterproof but there is a two-sided page stuck in the manual that says not to submerge it. I’ve gotten this same little page before with other LELO manuals and I think including it was a mistake, especially as LELO has heralded the INA 2 as a waterproof vibrator. This new manual is a not a good change.

Now that I’ve discussed the basic changes in the INA 2, let’s get back on track with a more general review. The INA 2 is LELO’s only dual action vibrator (with the exception of the original INA, of course). That makes it pretty special. I like dual action vibrators because when they fit my body well, they are very satisfying. I really enjoy the dual stimulation. Like all but a few of LELO’s sex toys, the INA 2 is made of silicone and plastic. The handle is plastic, while the buttons, charging port cover, and body of the vibrator are silicone. I love LELO’s silicone. It is extremely soft and silky against my skin and is not at all a lint magnet. Silicone is also latex and phthalate-free and hypoallergenic so it’s a very safe material for sex toys. The downside of silicone sex toys for some people is that you can only use water-based lubricants with them. Silicone-based lubes can interact negatively with the silicone of the toy causing it to break down.

Silicone sex toys have multiple cleaning options and now that the LELO INA 2 is waterproof, it is even easier to clean this vibrator than it is to clean the INA. You can wash the INA 2 with warm water and antibacterial soap, a sex toy cleaner, or a 10% bleach solution. The bleach solution allows you to sterilize the vibrator making it safe to share between non-fluid bonded partners. Do not wash your INA 2 in the dishwasher or boil it as this will most likely destroy the electrical components.

At 8″ in length, with 4.5″ being insertable, the LELO INA 2 is slightly longer and more of it can be inserted than the old INA. Both vibrators are approximately 1.5″ in diameter. This longer length is meant to allow for deeper penetration and it does just that. The clitoral arms are also both the same size at approximately 2.5″ in length. The clit arm of the INA 2 is also about twice as far from the shaft as on the original INA, and twice as flexible. This difference is very noticeable, as you can see from the included images.

As I mentioned previously, the vibrations of the LELO INA 2 are powerful and quiet. Like the INA, they are deep and rumbly, but I can get off much more quickly with the INA 2 because of the higher intensity of the vibrations. Also, I cannot hear the INA 2 through my closed bedroom door while I can hear the INA.

The control panel on the LELO INA 2 is basically the same as that of the INA, other than the buttons being sealed around the edges so water cannot leak in. There are four buttons that form a little cross on the plastic base of the vibrator. There are the + and – buttons and the up and down arrow buttons. Turn on the INA 2 by pressing firmly on the + button. This starts you on the lowest level of steady vibration. To increase the power, keep pressing down on the + button. To decrease the power and turn the vibrator off, press down on the – button. To enter into the pulsation modes, press on the up arrow. To cycle up or down through these modes, use the up and down arrows. One great thing is that you can adjust the power level in each pulsation mode, which gives you a lot of options. Like the original INA, regardless of where you turn the INA 2 off it will always start on the lowest level of steady vibration.

As with the old INA, the LELO INA 2 has eight modes of vibration, which are as follows:
1. Adjustable steady vibration, both clit and internal piece
2. Internal vibration only
3. Clit vibration only
4. Alternating clit and internal vibration
5. Slow pulsing in both
6. Ramping up alternating pulses from low to high
7. Ramping down alternating pulses from high to low
8. Dance Mix

It’s a LELO vibrator, so of course the INA 2 is rechargeable. Unfortunately, the new user manual provides no information about charging time, play time, and standby time. However, I have confirmed with LELO that it is the same as the INA. I charged it for about two hours out of the box so I expect approximately four hours of play time, depending on what intensity I use and for how long, and 90 days of standby time. Charging the two vibrators is the same. You plug the cord into the charging port on the base of the INA 2 and into the wall, et voila, charging. The LEDs under the buttons flash while the INA 2 is charging and glow steadily when the vibrator is fully charged. They will glow red when the INA 2 needs to be recharged.

Just like my other LELO vibrators, the INA 2 has a travel lock. You press and hold the + and – buttons for several seconds. The LED will light up then go dark when the INA 2 is locked. To unlock, press and hold on the + and – buttons for several seconds. When the LED lights up, the INA 2 is unlocked.

I really wanted to like the original LELO INA but I just couldn’t give it a very high rating based on its lack of power. I am very pleased to say the LELO INA 2 is a huge improvement over it’s predecessor and I like it quite a lot. I really enjoy the slightly deeper penetration of the INA 2. It still hits my g-spot while allowing me to feel a bit more full. I thought the clit arm was too far away from the shaft when I first took the INA 2 out of the box, yet it actually fits my body much better than the INA, which did a good job. The space between the clit arm and the shaft, along with the flexibility, allow the clit arm to rub right up against my clit without any need for adjustment or special positioning. Even though it’s flexible, the arm still provides sufficient pressure against my clit, which I really like. The vibrations are still the deep, rumbly vibrations I have come to expect from LELO vibrators, but with a huge increase in power. This increase in power is great and is now where I expected the original INA to be. I still like the patterns and I always love LELO’s silicone. I also really like how much quieter my INA 2 is compared to my INA.

The packaging of the LELO INA 2 is the same as the for the original LELO INA. The external box in this case is shiny orange cardboard with an image of the INA 2 on one side. The internal black box is the same discreet, sturdy box that says LELO on it. Inside the box, the INA lays in a black velvet cutout. Also included in the box are the charger, satin storage bag, sample of LELO personal moisturizer, user manual, and warranty information. As with all the LELO products I have, the INA 2 comes with a one year warranty and a 10 year quality guarantee. The one year warranty is a standard warranty, but the 10 year quality guarantee is unique. If something goes wrong with your INA 2 after the one year warranty has expired, LELO will allow you to buy another product from their website at a 50% discount. The only difference is that rather than a little booklet explaining this, the INA 2 comes with a plastic authenticity card that allows you to register online or scan the back with your cell phone to register.

LELO INA 2 Pros:
• Powerful
• Better clit arm location and flexibility
• Waterproof
• Quiet
• Not a lint magnet

LELO INA 2 Cons:
• Incomplete user manual

I’m impressed with the LELO INA 2. The vibrations are deep and rumbly, as well as being powerful and quiet. The new shape with the longer shaft and extended clit arm work well for me. I love that the INA 2 is waterproof which makes cleaning much easier. I always love LELO silicone because it is soft and silky and doesn’t attract lint like most silicone. I really cannot stand the new user manual, however. It’s useless, especially for people who actually have questions about the INA 2. If you’re not a sex toy guru, you may need some assistance in figuring out how to use the INA 2, and this manual is not going to be very helpful. Nevertheless, this is a small issue compared to the other significant positive changes made to the INA 2. It is definitely a huge improvement over the previous version. You can check out the new LELO INA 2 on the LELO website.

SPOTLIGHT on Mood Breezy Vibrator

I’m not necessarily a huge fan of hearts in general, but there’s a new vibrator at PinkCherry that is shaped like a heart and is still cute. It’s called the Mood Breezy Vibrator and it’s made by Doc Johnson.

Doc Johnson Mood Breezy Vibrator

The Mood Breezy Vibrator is a funky little clit stimulator made of ABS with a PU coating. The ABS is great because it’s non-porous as well as latex and phthalate-free, and the PU makes the vibrator extra soft and silky. I do tend to prefer rechargeable vibrators, one of the benefits of the Mood Breezy Vibrator. What makes this aspect extra cool is that it charges via USB. The base of the heart comes off and the top half plugs right into your computer like a jump drive. I don’t know how well it actually works, but the geek in me loves that it charges this way.

I am curious as to how powerful the Mood Breezy Vibrator’s motor actually considering it does charge via USB. I only have one USB vibrator, the Mystic Mini Massager, and it has a decent amount of power. The Mood Breezy Vibrator has seven different vibration modes and comes in three colors, purple, pink, and black. It looks as though it will fit comfortably in the hand and be easy to hold on to during use. The one obvious downside of the Mood Breezy Vibrator is that it is not waterproof, which can create a cleaning challenge in a very small vibrator. Nonetheless, this could be a nice little clit stimulator to have floating around the toy box. Head on over to PinkCherry and check out the Mood Breezy Vibrator from Doc Johnson.

LELO INA Review

I love rabbit vibrators and have always wanted to try the LELO INA. I had heard conflicting reports about the Ina. Some people love it, some people really dislike it. That’s not uncommon with rabbits as everyone’s anatomy is different. Regardless, having tried the Jopen Vanity Vr3 and finding I needed to hold the clit piece against my clit for it to really work, I decided I really wanted to try the INA and see if that shape worked better for me. So I finally purchased one.

LELO INA

The LELO INA is a non-traditional rabbit vibrator with a curvy shaft that is meant to be inserted and an external piece that is meant to stimulate the clit. Often rabbit vibrators have rotating shafts and animal-like clit vibrators, just like the Lovehoney Realistic Oh! Rabbit Vibrator that I reviewed last week. The LELO INA is not one of these. First of all, the shaft doesn’t rotate. There are no internal moving beads and there are no cutesy animals. The INA is sleek and elegant. The shaft of the INA is curved in order to provide stimulation to your g-spot, while the clit piece curves over the shaft to rest on the clit.

At 7.75″ long, with only 3.5″ being insertable, the LELO INA has a long handle that is very easy to hold on to during use. The INA is almost 1.5″ in diameter at its widest point. Both the shaft and clit piece are made of LELO’s signature silicone, which is latex and phthalate-free, hypoallergenic, and body-safe. The handle with the control panel is made of white plastic regardless which color INA you choose. The LELO INA is splash proof, not waterproof, so use caution when cleaning. You can still wash the INA in the sink with warm water and antibacterial soap, but be careful not get water in the control panel or charging port. You can also use your favorite sex toy cleaner or a 10% bleach solution, but no boiling the INA due to its electric components.

As the LELO INA is silicone, LELO recommends using only water-based lubricant with it. Silicone-based lube can have a negative chemical reaction with the silicone of the vibrator leaving it sticky. You can run into the same problem when storing silicone sex toys so it’s always better to store them separately. You can use either the box or the storage bag that comes with the LELO INA.

Like all LELO vibrators, the INA is rechargeable, and charging is simple. The charging port is located on the base of the INA’s handle. Remove the silicone cover, plug the cord in firmly, then plug the AC adapter into the wall. The buttons’ LEDs will blink while the INA is charging and glow steadily once it has been fully charged. A full charge will take about two hours. One charge should provide up to four hours of use and 90 days of standby time. When the INA needs to be charged it will let you know glowing red. LELO recommends storing the INA charged and charging monthly whether or not you are using the vibrator.

The LELO INA has the same control panel as other LELO toys of its generation, four buttons laid out in a cross pattern. The control panel on the INA is easy to use in theory, though I do find myself becoming a bit discombobulated when I’m trying to remember which button is which during play. I think over time this will not be an issue as I don’t recall having this problem with other LELO vibrators. The LELO INA has four buttons, +, -, up arrow, and down arrow. You use the + and – buttons to turn the INA on and off and adjust the intensity of the vibrations. The up and down arrows allow you to cycle through the patterns. To turn on the INA you press down on the + button. This button also increases the power of the vibration. To decrease the power, push down on the – button. To turn the INA off, keep pushing on the – button until the vibrations stop. You can also press both the + and – buttons at the same time to turn the INA off instantly. You change the patterns using the up and down arrows. I like that I can cycle backward as well as forward. It makes getting the the pattern I want much easier. If I pass the pattern I can just back up and find it quickly.

The LELO INA has eight modes of vibration
1. Adjustable steady vibration, both clit and internal piece
2. Internal vibration only
3. Clit vibration only
4. Alternating clit and internal vibration
5. Clit only, pulsing
6. Alternating pulses
7. Ramping up and down
8. Dance mix

Like all the LELO toys I have, the LELO INA has a travel lock. To lock the INA so it will not accidentally turn on and run down the battery, you press down on all four buttons at the same time. This is not as hard as it sounds. When the INA locks, all four LEDs will light up and go off to let you know the lock is engaged. To unlock the INA, press all the buttons again. When the LEDs light up, the INA is unlocked.

I expected to like the LELO INA a lot more than I actually do. On the one hand, it fits my body well. I really like how the shaft feels inside me pressed up against my g-spot and I really enjoy the way the clit piece nestles in between my labia and rests on my clit. On the other hand, the vibrations are weak. Yes, they’re deep, which is nice. They’re just not strong enough. I can get off with the INA but it takes longer than I would like and I think the vibrations will be too weak for many people. The vibrations of the LELO INA are much weaker than those of my Siri, which is surprising considering they’re the from the same generation.

The INA’s packaging is typical for LELO. The exterior box is shiny and will be the color of the INA itself. It has an image of the INA on it so it isn’t the most discreet. However, the internal hard black box simply says LELO making it very discreet. Inside the black box, the INA lays in a soft, velvety black cut out. Also included is the charger, a sample of LELO’s personal moisturizer, the storage bag, the user manual, and warranty information. The LELO INA has a standard one year warranty and LELO’s 10 year quality guarantee. If something goes wrong with your LELO Pleasure Object after the one year warranty has expired, LELO will allow you to purchase another toy from their website at a 50% discount.

LELO INA Pros:
• Fits my body well
• Good patterns
• Not a lint magnet
• Lets you know when charge is needed

LELO INA Cons:
• Not very powerful
• Slightly difficult to remember which button to press during play
• Not waterproof

The LELO INA has both positive and negative attributes On the plus side is the lovely sleek silicone that really doesn’t attract lint, the multiple patterns, the low power warning, and it fits my body well. On the downside it is not powerful. It’s not horribly weak, but its vibrations are moderate in intensity and I find that extremely disappointing. I think many others will feel the same. It’s really unfortunate because I was hoping the INA would become a favorite. However, I already know it’ll end up in the bottom of toy box not getting used. If you don’t like strong vibrations, you might like the LELO INA. I’m sad to say I don’t.
