You know how some images stay with you and become a part of your erotic imagination? Years ago, I remember seeing a Dominant using a makeup brush to tease their partner’s clit at a play party. I found the entire thing unbearably sexy and have had countless fantasies about having something similar done to me. Turns out a lot of people have had the same idea! An ex partner once tried this on me with a small paintbrush (ouch, poke-y, no) but I did eventually buy a new large, soft makeup brush solely for this purpose. The Pleasure Engine Fluffer is a sex toy that takes this one step further. It is, essentially, a vibrating makeup brush (or a makeup brush vibrator, if you prefer!)
Pleasure Engine Fluffer Vibrating Makeup Brush
The Pleasure Engine Fluffer is a vibrating makeup brush measuring around 6″ in length. The handle is made of ABS plastic. The bristles are made of… well, I don’t know. It doesn’t say. Makeup brushes are usually made from synthetic fibres such as nylon or polyester, so I assume the same is probably true here. However, I don’t know for sure. This means I also can’t tell you with any certainty how porous or not this material is.
In terms of cleaning, the instructions say to wash the bristles with water and gentle antibacterial soap. I did this, and it still felt soft afterwards and did not seem to hang on to any odours. However, because I can’t tell you for sure that it’s non-porous, I recommend against sharing this toy unless you have negotiated fluid exchange and this falls within your acceptable risk parameters.
This toy is splashproof rather than waterproof, so don’t use it in the bath or shower.
What I Liked About the Fluffer
I had high hopes for the Fluffer and I’m happy to say that overall I really, really liked it! Here are a few of the main things I liked about this product.
- The bristles are super soft – soft enough even to brush directly over my very sensitive clit.
- It just… feels really fucking good. The gentle tickle of the bristles combined with the vibrations is heavenly. I should note that I haven’t been able to orgasm with this toy, because the stimulation is just too gentle. For once, though, I’m not seeing that as a significant downside. In fact, this toy perfectly plays into my teasing kink. It creates exactly the kind of frustration I enjoy. And, of course, I can switch to a more intense toy when I’m ready to get off.
- Speaking of which, if you’re using the Fluffer and find you want a little more intensity, you can just turn it around and use the handle part directly against your clit. I think this is probably incidental rather than intentional but in this way, it’s kinda like two vibrators in one.
- It’s USB rechargeable without a cable! Simply pop the top off and use the inbuilt USB connector to attach it to a power source. It charges quickly in around 40 minutes, and I’ve had over an hour of use out of a full charge.
- It’s super discreet and genuinely looks like the thing it’s disguised as. Fun fact: some beauty experts like vibrating brushes for actually applying makeup, so this is pretty indistinguishable from one of those. (Don’t use the same brush for your foundation that you use for your genitals, though, I beg you.) I don’t really care if my sex toys look like sex toys (I think that ship has long sailed) but plenty of people need or prefer discretion for all sorts of reasons, and toys that look like other things are great options for those folks.
- At just $26/£21, it’s super affordable.
Anything I Didn’t Like?
Apart from the unclear material labelling re. the bristles, the main thing I dislike about this toy is that the vibrations are pretty weak and quite buzzy. As I mentioned above, I haven’t been able to actually orgasm with it.
I also find that a lot of the vibrations are transmitted through the handle. This means that my hand ends up getting buzzed a lot during use. It’s not a massive problem, but it’s definitely noticeable.
The one-button interface is, as always, kind of annoying. But I can’t complain too much with a toy at this price-point.
Fluffer Vibrating Makeup Brush: Verdict
This is a really fun little toy that I like a lot! Even though it’s not particularly powerful, it still feels amazing and it really hits on a very specific kink button for me.
