Every now and then, I get my hands on a sex toy that is so pretty that it delights me just to look at it. Even more occasionally, that toy is as good in function as in form. The new Hot Octopuss Kurve is one such toy. Hot Octopuss kindly sent me the Kurve to review.

Hot Octopuss Kurve: Details

Kurve is a new vibrator for folks with vulvas from Hot Octopuss, pioneers of sex toy innovations. At first glance, it looks like a fairly standard, curved G-spot vibrator. But this toy is so much more than that.

The Kurve features dual-motor Treble and Bass technology, the same patented tech used in the Hot Octopuss Jett. But instead of sitting in two separate pieces, Kurve brings both motors together in one creative package.

As I mentioned, my first impression of the Hot Octopuss Kurve is just how pretty it is. The silicone body is a rich burgundy colour, and the plastic handle fades from burgundy to black. When I held it up to show my partner and metamour on camera, they declared it “essentially the aubergine emoji in a sex toy!”

The Kurve measures 7.5″ in length, 5″ in insertable length, and 1.6″ in diameter. It weighs 189g.

The Kurve is fully waterproof, USB rechargeable via the included cable, and comes with a silky black storage bag with Hot Octopuss branding.

Hot Octopuss Kurve Review: Let’s Talk About That Shape

Curved toys are usually a big hit with me because they’re fabulous for targeted G-spotting. The Hot Octopuss Kurve’s, well, curve is near perfect. Not only that, but the bulbous head is soft and squishy while the rest of the shaft is rigid.

Even before we bring the vibes into the equation, Kurve won me over as a G-spotting dildo alone. Bonus: the plastic handle is comfortable and ergonomic to hold and manipulate.

When it comes to curved vibrators, though, I often find myself complaining that the shape is great but the vibrations are shit. Would the same be true of the Kurve?

All About That Bass (and Treble)

So here’s where things get really fun! The Kurve’s unique selling point is based on its two motor “treble and bass” design. What does that mean, exactly? The toy contains two distinct motors. The “treble” vibrates at a high frequency, while the “bass” vibrates at a lower frequency and therefore gives a deeper sensation. In common sex toy reviewer parlance, we might think of the treble as the “buzz” and the bass as the “rumble.”

The beauty of the Hot Octopuss Kurve is that you can use the two motors together or separately, and at different levels. So if you want a little buzz and a lot of rumble or vice-versa, you can do that. If you want a lot of both? One on its own? Yep, that’s available, too.

I’m not a big fan of buzzy vibrations generally. As a rule, I’m all about the rumble. But holy shit, this toy when they’re both on together…. wow! The multi-layered stimulation is super intense and, for wand of a better word, nuanced. I found that it felt best when I laid it along one side of my vulva and allowed the vibrations to thrum through my labia to my clit.

Hot Octopuss Kurve Review: Controls

The Kurve’s controls require a little getting used to, though they’re fairly intuitive once you learn which button does what. The treble and bass controls are conveniently marked on the handle.

There are also two small buttons, one that turns both the treble and bass off simultaneously, and one that switches between patterns. The Hot Octopuss Kurve has 5 patterns and each motor has 5 speeds.

The buttons are raised, making it easy to find them without looking, and easy to press. Once you’ve memorised which side is treble and which is bass, you can operate the toy completely by feel.

Verdict

The Hot Octopuss Kurve is a damn good toy.

I do have a couple of small complaints that I hope will be ironed out in subsequent versions. Most notably, the seam between the silicone shaft and plastic handle is uneven in a way that is a little unsightly on an otherwise luxurious looking toy (not to mention a potential bacteria trap.) It would also be nice to be able to control patterns independently for each motor, as well as the speeds.

In the scheme of things, though, they’re small issues and this is a great product that I thoroughly recommend.

The Kurve retails for £89.95 and is available directly from Hot Octopuss.
