There are a good number of sex toy manufacturers out there, and as a reviewer, I try to gain some experience with a wide variety of them. Having not run across Great Kingsland before, I was curious what their toys might be like. Having nothing else really new on my radar, it seemed like a good time to try out the Pretty Love Bunny carried by We Love Toys.

You know how you order something and even though you know what the measurements are before it arrives you are somehow surprised by the size anyway? That’s what happened with the Pretty Love Bunny. I pulled the box out of the padded envelope and thought, “How can the vibrator possibly fit in a box so small?” Yet it does, and do you know why? Because the Pretty Love Bunny is kinda tiny.

The Pretty Love Bunny is only 5″ from its base to the tips of its ears. It is made mostly of burgundy silicone and has an adorable little face with eyes and a nose. The silicone has a lovely silky feel to it and it does not attract lint like most silicone. The top half of the Pretty Love Bunny is bendy, while the bottom half, with the motor, is made of ABS. It has three ridges across its front that make gripping it easier and more comfortable.

The Pretty Love Bunny is waterproof which makes cleaning easy. I just wash it in the sink with antibacterial soap and water, but you can also use a sex toy cleaner. The silicone portion can be disinfected with a 10% bleach solution.

As there is very little drag with this smooth silicone I don’t require much, if any, lubricant. However, if you do use lube, be sure to use water-based lubricant rather than silicone-based. Silicone-based lubricant can cause a chemical reaction with the silicone of the Pretty Love Bunny damaging it and causing it to become tacky.

I prefer rechargeable vibrators because, in the long run, they are less expensive and better for the environment. You don’t have to spend a lot of money on batteries and find ways to dispose of them. Therefore, the fact that the Pretty Love Bunny is rechargeable makes me happy. It has a small charging port on its bottom that is covered by a removable silicone plug. This plug comes off completely. I don’t like this at all because it is very small and easy to lose. I discovered this because it popped off during my first charge. Losing this silicone plug would not exactly kill the waterproof factor of the Pretty Love Bunny but I would certainly not want to take it into the bath or shower with the port completely open.

As the Pretty Love Bunny does not come with a user manual, I really don’t know how long it takes to get fully charged. During charging, both the charger and the Pretty Love Bunny glow red and the Love Bunny goes dark when charging is complete. I charged mine for a few hours which did the trick. I have not run down the battery yet, so I’m not sure how long that takes. It will run down more quickly if you use it on the higher intensity levels.

The control panel is on the back of the Pretty Love Bunny and blends in well with the body. It is an oval shape with four button areas. These are not distinct buttons but is easy to press the control you want without hitting something else. The trick is getting the vibrator to do what you want. You actually have to press these buttons with such force to change settings, that I don’t think it’s possible to turn the vibrator off accidentally. You also may have issues with the force required to push the buttons during play. I have a very difficult time changing modes and intensity while I’m using the Pretty Love Bunny.

There are + and – buttons as well as up and down arrows. It took a few minutes to figure out how it works as there are no instructions. The up arrow turns the Pretty Love Bunny on and the down arrow turns it off. The plus and minus buttons scroll through the five levels of intensity. What’s weird is that when I turn the vibrator on it seems to be on the third level of intensity. I’ve never run across this before. Most vibrators start at the lowest level of intensity and I have a few that start on the highest, but the middle is just strange. I wouldn’t have thought to try to scroll down after turning the Pretty Love Bunny on, but it just seemed awfully strong for a low setting so I gave it a try.

If the website hadn’t mentioned that there are seven vibration modes, I would have totally missed the patterns. This is why we need manuals, people. Once you’ve set the Pretty Love Bunny on the level of intensity you want, you hit the up arrow to scroll through the seven pattern modes. To turn the vibrator off when you are in the pattern modes, press and hold the – button for a few seconds.
1. Long , slow pulse
2. 2 short then one long pulse
3. Medium pulse
4. Sets of 3 fast pulses
5. 3 short and 3 long pulses
6. Fastest pulses
7. Fast pulses

Just like with the weirdness of turning on at level three intensity, the Pretty Love Bunny’s pattern modes are in a kinda wacky order. I generally find similar patterns are grouped together and arranged by speed, which is not the case here. The order just seems wrong. I suppose this isn’t necessarily a problem, but I find it annoying anyway. Of course, I have more sex toys than any one person needs so I am getting pickier and pickier.

I find the Pretty Love Bunny to be loud for a vibrator of its size. This is not an issue for me, but I know it is for some. The frequency of the vibrations are not deep and rumbly, but they’re not really buzzy either. They feel sort of…light. I think this is partly because the little flexible ears are flicking against my clit as opposed to something solid being pressed against my body. Still, the vibrations are powerful, unexpectedly so. Without having a lot of pressure against my clit I need this added power and I think it will make many people happy.

How do I like the Pretty Love Bunny in use? I love the silky smoothness of the silicone against my skin. It’s versatile because I can use the ears to tickle and tease my clit and if I want more pressure, I can use the nose. The ears also feel great against my nipples and labia. They flick back and forth so quickly I can get pinpoint precision on my clit if I want. While I like the way the Pretty Love Bunny feels on my body, I don’t like actually using it that much because of the control panel. The layout is fine but you have to press so hard on the buttons to make a change that half the time I have to stop what I’m doing to hold it with both hands so I can get enough pressure on the buttons. Granted, I do have long nails and it’s possible this is part of the problem.

The packaging of the Pretty Love Bunny is simple and sweet. It comes in a very hard and sturdy small black box, which unfortunately is not discreet. It doesn’t say vibrator on it but it has an image of the Love Bunny on the front that sort of screams sex toy to me. Inside the box, the Pretty Love Bunny sits in a bed of molded foam and underneath this foam is the charger. I think the funniest part of this toy is the included storage bag. It’s a rough sheer black material that feels low end and it closes with a ribbon that says “sex toys” on it. Hilarious. I usually don’t single out the storage bag but this just cracked me up so much. What this packaging lacks is a user manual and I always find this irritating. I’m plenty experienced with sex toys and can figure out how they work pretty easily, but what about someone who is purchasing this as their first vibrator? Granted, it’s not rocket science, but why make it more difficult and uncomfortable for someone? Nonetheless, this box is really great for storage because it doesn’t take up a huge amount of space. You can also remove the foam and use it to store other things, multiple chargers (labeled), batteries, condoms, etc.

Pretty Love Bunny Pros:
• Strong
• Versatile
• Good shape
• Rechargeable
• Waterproof
• Very silky silicone
• Not a lint magnet

Pretty Love Bunny Cons:
• Difficult to change modes during use
• Loud
• Charging port cover comes off easily
• Starts on level 3 intensity
• Weird order on patterns
• No user manual

The Pretty Love Bunny has me conflicted. I like the way it feels but I don’t like the actual process of using it. I think the Pretty Love Bunny has some flaws with how its vibration modes are set up, but as I admitted, I am picky. I would prefer it start on the lowest level and ramp up from there and I would like the patterns to be more orderly. However, that’s really not a make it or break it issue. I also kinda hate the control panel. It’s just very difficult for me to press the buttons firmly enough.One of the big issues for me is that the charging port cover comes off so easily. That is a big no no. I know I’ve complained more than ever before about the lack of user manual, but I really think this vibrator needs one. Even if I like the vibrator, I’m not sure what good that is if it’s a pain in the butt to use. Still, it does have redeeming qualities, hence my indecisiveness. To a certain degree, the pros and cons cancel each other out leaving me to go with a middle of the road rating. You can find the Pretty Love Bunny at We Love Toys.

Before I start this review, I just want to wish Everyone a Happy 12/12/12!

Ever since I found myself in the midst of the sex toy world, I have been hearing about Jimmyjane products. They have a very strong reputation for making high quality sex toys and sensual items. Over the past two years I’ve kept my eyes open for an opportunity to review something Jimmyjane but it never seemed to come together. Of all the Jimmyjane products, the Form 2 interested me the most. I even posted a Spotlight on it way back. The shape just tickled my fancy and it seemed to have a lot of positive things going for it. As it did not appear anyone would ask me to review it for them, I finally just went for it and picked one up.

I did a lot of research on the Jimmyjane Form 2 before purchasing one. If I’m going to be spending over $100, I want to be reasonably convinced I’m going to like the sex toy I’m investing in. I had read numerous reviews that the Form 2 has a glitch in its motors causing it to make a loud, high-pitched whine when pressure is put on them. Apparently, this is an issue with most Form 2 vibrators and is not something that is fixed by replacing the unit. Nonetheless, I really wanted it so I took the risk. Turns out everything I read was true of my Form 2, but more on that annoying whine later.

The Form 2 is a cute little vibrator that reminds me of a tooth. It is a mere 3″ long and approximately 1.75″ in diameter, not that the diameter matters much as it is not an insertable. There is a motor in each of the little legs giving the Form 2 an extra boost of power. This vibrator is covered in silky smooth silicone that has a minimal amount of drag to it so it doesn’t require a ton of lube. As the Form 2 is silicone, you want to use water-based lubricant with it as silicone-based lubes can create a negative chemical reaction.

One great thing about the Jimmyjane Form 2 is that it’s waterproof with no open ports so it is super easy to clean. You can use warm water and antibacterial soap, a sex toy cleaner, or a 10% bleach solution. Something else I like about this particular silicone is that it is not a lint magnet, which is excellent, as most silicone tends to be. There is a very small seam in the silicone running around the outside of the vibrator but I do not feel it in use at all.

The Jimmyjane Form 2 is rechargeable and the way it charges is super cool. It has a metal circle on it’s base so you it charges when you sit in the charging cradle, like a cordless phone. As I mentioned before there are no open ports, nothing for water to penetrate, which makes me totally comfortable using the Form 2 in the shower and submerging it in the bath, though I do not actually spend much time masturbating in my bathroom.

The control panel of the Jimmyjane Form 2 consists of three teeny buttons on the face of the vibrator, +, -, and ~. These buttons are very straightforward and simple to use. The + button turns the Form 2 on and increases the intensity of the vibration. The – button decreases the intensity of the vibration and turns the vibrator off. The ~ button switches modes and cycles through them. You can increase and decrease the intensity of the vibrations in each mode, which is great. The Form 2 also has a memory chip so it remembers what mode and intensity you were on when you turned it off and starts back in the same place when you turn it back on.

The Jimmyjane Form 2 has five levels of intensity and four vibration modes. They are as follows:
1. Steady vibration
2. Ramp up from motor to motor*
3. Ramp up
4. Fast pulse
*I’m not sure exactly what is going on with the second pattern, but I like it a lot.

I already told you about the mysterious and annoying high-pitched whine and mentioned that my Form 2 does have this glitch. However, it doesn’t happen consistently. I can see no rhyme nor reason as to why sometimes I can put more pressure on the legs without an issue and other times less pressure sets it off. When it does happen it’s annoying, but it doesn’t happen all the time so I can live with it. One thing I find surprising about the Form 2 is that it is louder than I expected. I figured it would be whisper quiet as it’s so small, but it really isn’t. It’s not insanely loud. You can’t hear it through a closed door, but you can hear when it’s under the covers.

Aside from all the hullabaloo about noise, the Form 2 is a joy to use. I love how the little legs surround my clit with their dual motors. I don’t know how other women use their Jimmyjane Form 2 but I like to hold mine sideways so that one leg is on top of my clit and the other is underneath it. It fits my body perfectly this way and provides more than adequate power to get me off quickly and easily. As long as you remember where the buttons are, which comes with practice, it’s a snap to use. Just as I was hoping when I went out on a limb with the Jimmyjane Form 2, I really like it. In fact, it’s pretty great. The power is awesome, especially for a vibrator of this size. It even rivals my most favorite We-Vibe Touch and that, my friends, is not easy to do.

The packaging of the Jimmyjane Form 2 is a bit of a disappointment. It comes in a very large box with images of the vibrator on all sides. It also says “vibrator” right on the front, totally indiscreet. Inside the box the Form 2 sits within a flexible plastic container that also holds the charging cradle. Underneath this container is another smaller one that holds the charging cord. Also included is a pamphlet on the Jimmyjane family and a little instruction booklet. I dislike that this packaging is huge which means it cannot be used for storage, not to mention that once I removed the components from the box I was never able to get them back in and close it again. I really believe when you spend over $100 on a toy a storage bag should be included. Nothing fancy, just a simple satin bag will do. All of my other high end vibrators come with storage bags. Some even come with boxes too pretty to throw away. I know it’s nitpicky but it just annoys me that I have nowhere to store my Form 2.

Jimmyjane Form 2 Pros:
• Dual motors
• Powerful
• Good shape
• Rechargeable
• Waterproof
• Easy to use
• Not a lint magnet
• Silky silicone

Jimmyjane Form 2 Cons:
• Intermittent high-pitched whining noise with applied pressure
• Louder than expected

When it comes to ratings and recommendations, the Jimmyjane Form 2 puts me in a tricky spot. This vibrator could easily be a top contender for my favorite sex toy of 2012 if it weren’t for the irritating glitchy noise issue. Granted, it doesn’t happen every time I use the vibrator but because it does happen at times, when it does it’s annoying. As much as I love the power of the Form 2 and most everything about using it, it is difficult to decide how to rate it. Of course I would prefer my Form 2 was not at all glitchy, but I can live with it. It really is an awesome vibrator but it’s not my only one, so if I don’t feel like dealing with it I don’t have to.

For shape, size, waterproofness, and power, I highly recommend the Form 2. If you are ok with the likelihood that your Form 2 will make this annoying noise, at least from time to time, and it isn’t your only vibrator, then by all means go for it. However, if you need a toy that will always be super quiet, if you find noise horribly distracting, if you’re counting your pennies (and who isn’t nowadays?), I just cannot in good conscience give this vibrator my full backing. Without the noise glitch I would give the Jimmyjane Form 2 a resounding five beans, but that stupid whine won’t allow me to do that. I’m deducting one full bean for it and it would be more if I didn’t like the damn vibrator so much.

You can find the Jimmyjane Form 2 at the following stores:
