[Toy Review] Funzze Ride-On Grind & Humping Vibrator

Published on March 10, 2026March 10, 2026 by Amy

Grinding toys have taken off in a big way in the last few years, and anyone who has been reading my work for a while will know about my enduring grinder obsession. Funzze recently sent me some of their toys to try, including this ride-on silicone vibrating grinder.

Funzze Ride-On Grind & Humping Vibrator: A Vibrating Grinder with Three Motors

The Funzze Ride-On Grind & Humping Vibrator is a vibrating grinder with an insertable dildo and three separate motors. Made of body-safe pink silicone, this grinder toy measures 9.06″ in total length. The dildo portion measures 4.3″ in insertable length and 1.26″ in diameter at the widest point.

It has two raised pads: the front one (for clitoral stimulation) has a height of 1.65″, and the back one (for anal/perineal stimulation) has a height of 1.15″. The dildo leans very slightly to the front to help it to target the G-spot in use.

The Funzze Vibrating Grinder is rechargeable, with a two hour charge giving around an hour of runtime. The packaging and site says it is waterproof (submersible), but the instruction manual says not to leave it in water for a long time. So that’s a little confusing. This toy comes with a wireless remote control and a storage bag.

Funzze Vibrating Grinder: What I Liked

I like the design of the Funzze Ride-On Grind & Humping Vibrator a lot. Its flat, flexible base means you can easily place it on any flat surface, and the bottom-heavy design helps it to stay in place. This plus the user’s body weight means it doesn’t slide around or move out of position during use.

Pro tip: if you want to use this toy in an upright kneeling position, pad your knees with cushions to stay comfortable. If this isn’t accessible or doesn’t feel good to you, you can also put the toy on a chair and straddle it, put it underneath you and lie on top of it, or use pillows or positioning wedges to create a configuration that works for your body.

I appreciate that the Funzze Vibrating Grinder’s dildo isn’t particularly big. Many dual stimulation toys are designed such that getting any kind of clitoral contact requires uncomfortably deep penetration. However, the relatively short and slimline design of this vibrating grinder’s dildo means it will be comfortable for users who don’t enjoy large insertables (or don’t want to work up to them every time they use the toy.)

Positioning is pretty easy and comfortable, and I can actually get a good amount of clitoral stimulation with this toy. The silicone is super soft and smooth. The firm yet slightly squishy surface of the external humps gives an amazing “bouncy” feel as you grind against it. This is a great design for people who prefer lots of clitoral pressure. As I mentioned, the slight forward tilt also makes it easier to find and stimulate the G-spot with the dildo portion of the toy.

Most of the shaft has a firm core, while the top inch or so is soft and squishy. This feels like a good balance for this toy. Too flexible and it’d be hard to ride, too firm and it could be uncomfortable. As it is, there’s enough firmness for easy use and enough squish for comfort.

Funzze vibrating silicone grinder sex toy

The three motors have a pretty decent level of power. The vibrations feel more intense through the insertable dildo than either of the external stimulators, but I suspect this is just because the silicone is thinner so they’re less dampened.

The toy has 3 constant speeds and 10 patterns, and the remote control is a nice addition. The grinder’s single-button interface is situated on the front of the clitoral stimulator. This makes it possible to operate the toy this way while you’re using it, but the remote control is far easier. It also makes it easy to hand over control to your partner, or to keep your hands free to do other things.

Of course, you can also use this toy without the vibrations if you enjoy the grinding/penetration combo on its own.

Anything I Didn’t Like?

Though I’m quite impressed with the motors’ power, this vibrating grinder is a little more buzzy than I would prefer. I also would have liked the motors to be independently controllable so I could switch off the internal vibrations while leaving the clitoral stimulator on. Dual-directional speed and pattern controls would also be good.

The Funzze Grinder gets significantly louder when it’s flat on a hard surface vs. when you hold it in your hand. If noise level is important to you, use a soft surface like a bed or chair. You can also cushion it with a blanket or towel to deaden the noise.

The third motor, designed for anal or perineal stimulation, didn’t really do anything for me. It’s fine, but I wouldn’t miss it if it wasn’t there. Then again, I’m not that into anal play for its own sake. It tends to work best for me as part of a kink scene or power dynamic. If you enjoy external anal stimulation, you might appreciate this feature more than I did!

Verdict

Funzze’s silicone ride-on vibrating grinder was a pleasant surprise; dual-stimulation toys are so often a miss for me. But this one is thoughtfully designed and enjoyable. Not perfect, but pretty damn good and a relatively affordable alternative to many more expensive products.

If you enjoy combined penetration with clitoral and external anal/perineal stimulation, this toy offers all three. And if you find that dual stimulation toys are often too large for you, or require weird positioning or uncomfortably deep insertion to stimulate your clit, you might get along better with this one. I certainly did.

[Toy Review] VVD RiderGo

Published on February 10, 2026February 10, 2026 by Amy

Remember the VVD Rider Desire, a ride-on saddle-style sex machine I reviewed last summer? Well, VVD has recently released a new attachment to go with this product and kindly sent me one to test and review. However, the RiderGo is no ordinary sex machine attachment. Its clever two-part magnetic design makes it both an attachment and a standalone hand-held sex toy.

What is the VVD RiderGo and How Does This Toy Work?

VVD RiderGo, a two part detachable rabbit vibrator made of pink silicone

The RiderGo looks, at first glance, like a straightforward rabbit vibrator. However, it’s actually a clever two-in-one product that functions both as a hand-held standalone rabbit vibe and an extra attachment for VVD’s Rider Desire ride-on sex machine.

A strong magnetic mechanism connects the insertable machine attachment to a handle and clitoral stimulator that allow you to use it as a rabbit vibe. It’s also compatible with the original attachments that came with the Rider Desire, by the way. Simply swap them out to mix and match your experience.

The insertable section makes a back-and-forth oscillating “come hither” motion (hence this toy being dubbed a “finger vibrator”) as well as vibrating.

The VVD RiderGo offers around 4.5″ of insertable length and measures approximately 1.3″ in diameter. It is 8.1″ in total length and weighs in at 230g. Made of body-safe pink silicone, this toy is IPX7 waterproof (i.e. submersible) and USB rechargeable.

VVD RiderGo Rabbit Toy and Sex Machine Attachment: Pros

I have to say, I think this design is pretty cool. I love the versatility offered by the combo of the Rider Desire and the RiderGo, since you can combine the two bases and three attachments in numerous different ways. The clitoral stimulator also still works when the insertable head is detached, and the two motors have independent controls so you can use one without the other if you prefer.

The G-spot stimulation provided by the come hither motion is truly excellent. It’s like being fingered, only faster (unless you have superhuman manual dexterity, anyway.) The short strokes are perfect for people who like intense and repetitive G-spot pressure but not a lot of hard “pounding.” While some reviewers have noted that they didn’t find the 15° curve intense enough, it was just about perfect for my body’s preferences.

I like the flexible clitoral stimulator, which overall maintains pretty good contact with my clit during use. This is helped by the fact that I don’t have to thrust the toy in and out, since the G-spot stimulator mimics that motion by itself. The little “tongue” flap that protrudes from the top of the clitoral stimulator is a little too light and tickly to be truly satisfying, but it does offer an interesting tease or warm-up.

While the relatively small and slimline size of this toy might make it “not enough” for some people who prefer larger insertables, it was pretty ideal for me. I like that I can dive straight into using it without the warmup needed to insert a larger toy.

I like the loop handle, which makes the toy easy and comfortable to hold, and the button placement is intuitive. The controls themselves are straightforward and the buttons are easy to press. There’s an on/off button, a button to control the insertable portion, and a button to control the clitoral stimulator.

Also, VVD’s slogan for this toy—”soft outside, wild within”—is a mood and I want it on a t-shirt.

Cons

As we’ve seen, there’s a lot to like about the VVD RiderGo. However, there are also a few downsides you’ll want to be aware of:

The battery life isn’t great, with a 1.5 hour charge giving just 45 minutes of runtime.
No dual-directional speed controls. This isn’t too egregious given there are only 6 stroking speeds and 7 vibration settings to choose from, but it’s still pretty annoying when you want to go back a step.
It makes the same high-pitched mechanical squeaking noise as virtually every other toy in this category. I can’t really fault VVD for this, since I don’t think any manufacturer has yet cracked this problem, but it definitely affects the user experience.
As is so often the problem with toys of this type, the vibrations are super buzzy and not particularly strong. Does it feel good? Yes, for a bit. Can it get me off before my clit gets numbed out? Sadly, not so far.

How Use the VVD RiderGo Detachable Toy With the Rider Desire Sex Saddle

Image showing insertion of VVD RiderGo into Rider Desire ride on toy

Using the RiderGo with your Rider Desire saddle is super easy. Simply detach the RiderGo head from its base with a gentle pull, and slot it into the attachment space on the Rider Desire using the slit in the plastic as a guide. You’ll feel the magnets click it into place. Once in, it’s very secure and shouldn’t go anywhere even if you ride it pretty vigorously. (That said, just to be on the safe side, I wouldn’t recommend using this one anally.)

Do I Need to Own the Rider Desire to Use the RiderGo?

VVD Rider Desire ride on vibrator with RiderGo toy attached

No. The RiderGo is fully functional on its own as a rabbit vibrator. Pairing it with the Rider Desire sex saddle isn’t necessary, but offers a few fun additional ways to use it. Let’s finish by looking at some of the possibilities…

Try This: Stimulate Your Clit While You Ride

Since the RiderGo clitoral stimulator still works when the insertable arm is detached, you (or your partner) can use it manually on your clit while you straddle the Rider Desire saddle.

Try This: Play a Sexy Guessing Game

Ask your partner to blindfold you and choose an attachment for the RiderGo or Rider Desire, then use it on you. Your job is to correctly identify which one they’ve chosen. What do you get if you win? Well, that’s for you two to negotiate.

RiderGo Rabbit Toy and Sex Machine Attachment: Verdict

Overall, the VVD RiderGo is a decent standalone toy as long as you don’t need intense or rumbly clitoral stimulation to get off. Its finger-like motion is excellent. However, it is the innovative interchangeable design and compatibility with the Rider Desire that really elevates this one for me. As a companion product to the existing machine, it’s excellent.

The RiderGo retails for $79. My readers can enjoy a 12% discount on the Rider Desire, RiderGo, or both with code “Coffee”.

Thanks to Viva Desire (VVD), an all-woman team with decades of combined experience in the pleasure products industry, for sending me this toy and sponsoring this post. All views and writing are, as always, mine.

[Toy Review] We-Vibe Chorus Pro

Published on January 5, 2026January 5, 2026 by Amy

When I learned that a new version of the We-Vibe Chorus was dropping, this time named the We-Vibe Chorus Pro, my first thought was “already!?” Surely it hasn’t been that long since the first iteration of the Chorus hit the market. However, apparently it’s been well over five years! Time is fake. That can mean only one thing: it’s time for a review of the newly released We-Vibe Chorus Pro.

What is the We-Vibe Chorus Pro?

The Pro is a new, updated version of the original We-Vibe Chorus. It’s the same basic design, and follows the theme of We-Vibe’s classic C-shaped “wear during intercourse” vibrators.

It’s designed to offer additional clitoral stimulation to the wearer during penetrative sex, while also stimulating the inside of their vagina and (if applicable) their partner’s penis with vibrations. It comes with a “Haptic Squeeze Remote” (more on that below) and can also be controlled via the We-Vibe app.

The Chorus Pro is made of body-safe silicone and available in 3 colourways: Cosmic Purple, Satin Black, and Electric Pink. Its internal arm measures ???

The Chorus Pro is rechargeable, with a 2 hour charge giving around 90 minutes of running time. Its sturdy black plastic storage case is also a USB charging case. It is also IPX7 waterproof, i.e. submersible. It’s unclear whether the remote is waterproof, though; the Chorus Original’s remote was only splashproof so the same may be true here.

Chorus vs Chorus Pro: What’s New?

The We-Vibe Chorus Pro offers many of the same features as the previous iteration of this product, including the adjustable hinged design, squeezable remote, app control options, and touch sensors on the main body of the toy. However, it also offers a number of upgrades. Most notably:

Three Motors and Fusion Wave Stimulation

While the original Chorus had two motors, the Chorus Pro has three. There are two motors in the external clitoral stimulator, and one in the insertable arm. This enables something We-Vibe calls “Fusion Wave Technology”, which sounds like something out of Star Trek but actually seems to just mean that the two clitoral motor synchronise to offer rhythmic, rolling and flowing “wave-like” vibrations.

“Haptic Squeeze” Remote

Close up of We-Vibe Chorus Pro remote in my hand, demonstrating for review

Though the original Chorus had a squeeze-sensitive remote, the Chorus Pro has had a significant upgrade in this regard. The word “haptic” just means something relating to the sense of touch. The new Chorus remote is designed to adjust vibration strength with the intensity of the squeeze, with the remote vibrating at the same strength as the toy to provide immediate feedback to the person holding it.

Is this a good thing? Debatable. We’ll get into this in more detail shortly.

We-Vibe Chorus Pro Review: Pros

Something I appreciate about We-Vibe is that, unlike some toy manufacturers, they don’t constantly churn out new products at an alarmingly fast rate. Instead, they seem to take their time and put real thought into their designs. As a result, the We-Vibe Chorus Pro has a lot to recommend it.

Let’s get into what I like about this product.

It’s so pretty! The material sort of shimmers.
The hinged design allows you to adjust the fit according to your body.
The charging case is convenient for both travel and storage. For an ADHDer like me, it also makes me less likely to lose either the toy or the remote.
With 7 classic We-Vibe patterns and 3 new “Fusion Wave” patterns built in, as well as constant vibrations and the ability to change the intensity level of any pattern using the remote, the user experience is pretty versatile even before you get the app involved.
The remote is highly responsive, both in squeeze mode and when just using the buttons.
The squishy design also makes the motor super comfortable to hold and use.

Underside of We-Vibe Chorus Pro with hinge open to show textured surface

I love the texturing on the underside of the external arm. It’s pretty subtle but it adds a little extra stimulation. I can’t personally feel the texturing on the internal arm when I’m wearing it, but other users’ experience may differ.
The addition of a third motor really does make a difference in use. While I think calling it “Fusion Wave” is a stretch, the synchronised external motors deliver more intense clitoral and all-over vulva stimulation than a single motor can manage on its own.
The motors! We-Vibe always uses excellent strong and rumbly motors in its toys, and this one is no exception.

Cons

There are also a few things about the We-Vibe Chorus Pro I found frustrating. Namely:

While the original Chorus had two adjustable hinges for a better fit, the Chorus Pro appears to only have one. It’s a shame to lose the extra adjustability the additional hinge offered.
There doesn’t seem to be a way to control the motors separately using the toy itself or the remote. If you want to do this, you’ll need the app. As someone who doesn’t like internal vibrations, this is a pretty big downside for me personally.
The insertable section isn’t long enough (or curved enough) to get anywhere near my G-spot. Instead of providing additional pleasure, it just sort of sits there as an anchor to hold the toy in place (sort of; see below.)
Overall, as in the original We-Vibe Chorus, I found the “Touch Sense” modes too unpredictable and unreliable to be pleasurable. It’s an interesting concept, but the reality is mostly just annoying.
I wish there were better controls on the toy itself. The single button interface is very limiting and basically means this toy is only worthwhile with either the remote or the app.
Like virtually all toys of this type, it doesn’t really stay in place without a helping hand unless you’re staying very still (and sometimes not even then.) If you’re moving or doing any kind of thrusting, you pretty much have to hold it in position with your hand to stop it slipping around all over the place.

Other Things to Be Aware Of

I have really mixed feelings about the haptic feedback of the squeeze remote. On the one hand, having the feedback could be useful if you’re using the toy on a partner and want to get a sense of the intensity of the stimulation for them. On the other hand, having your hand repeatedly vibrated is really annoying and uncomfortable. Ultimately, each user will need to decide if this bothers them (and, if it does, if they like the feature enough to put up with it.)

I also find that, the longer I do this job, the less I care about a toy’s app features. I can count on one hand the times I’ve used an app to control a toy outside of an “I’m testing this product so I can review it” session. I don’t really want to be on my phone when I’m trying to masturbate or have sex, I don’t use toys in public because they’re nowhere near as discreet as some people seem to think they are, and I’ve found ways to have long-distance sex that work better for me personally.

That said, We-Vibe’s app is one of the better options for app-controlled toys out there, and it offers a number of intriguing additional options including:

Handing control over to a partner anywhere in the world with an internet connection
Chatting and video-calling with a partner while they control the toy
As mentioned above, controlling the motors separately
Activating the three available “Touch Sense” modes
More finely controlling the intensity of the vibrations
Touch mode, in which you can control the toy with the swipe of a finger
Creating your own vibration patterns
Creating “playlists” of your favourite patterns

We-Vibe Chorus Pro Review: Verdict

Overall, I think the We-Vibe Chorus Pro is an excellent product. It improves on the original in a couple of fun ways, while maintaining We-Vibe’s reputation for good motors and thoughtful design. Despite a few frustrations, I’m still happy to recommend it.

The Chorus Pro retails for £189/$229 and is available from Lovehoney UK, Lovehoney US, Shevibe, Good Vibes, Babeland, or directly from We-Vibe Europe and North America.

[Toy Review] UEROS Remote Control Wearable Vibrator with Detachable Egg Set

Published on January 3, 2026January 3, 2026 by Amy

Following my UEROS sex machine review a while back, I received another UEROS product to try. This time, we’re looking at the wearable vibe set, or the “UEROS Remote Control Wearable Vibrator with Detachable Egg Set,” to give it its full name.

What is the UEROS Wearable Vibe Set?

At first glance, the UEROS wearable vibrator set is an interesting concept. It contains four main pieces:

A thin, vaguely saddle-shaped vibrator that sits against the pubis with a protruding clitoral stimulator
A detachable egg vibrator that fits inside the vagina
A harness/crotchless panty thing with straps to hold the vibrator against the body
A remote control

The main intended use for the UEROS vibe set is for it to be wearable during (penetrative) partnered sex. In case you’re struggling to visualise how it’s intended to work, here’s a handy diagram provided by UEROS:

The vibrator and egg are made of body-safe silicone (with plastic accents on the former.) The harness is made of polyester and spandex.

This USB rechargeable toy offers 1 hour of runtime for a 2 hour charge. It is also IPX6 waterproof, i.e. splashproof but not submersible.

UEROS Wearable Vibe Set: The Good

Let’s start with the positive things I can say about this product.

UEROS wearable vibe attached to included panties

First, I do think the concept is neat. It’s kind of a combination of insertable wearable vibrators (such as the various iterations of We-Vibe’s classic shape) and those “vibrating knickers” that are still inexplicably a thing even though they almost universally suck.

The slim design is thoughtful and means the toy is less obtrusive and “in the way” if you’re using it during partnered sex. Design-wise, I also like the long tail on the egg. This sidesteps the issue of dual-stimulation toys often being designed for one specific type of genitals, making it more likely to fit comfortably with a range of bodies.

The detachable design of the egg vibrator makes this a more versatile product. You could also use the egg on its own as a non-vibrating, leave-in toy, if you like.

The six straps on the harness/panties hold the vibrator in place very well. Unlikely many “wear during intercourse” toys, it stays securely in position. A rare instance of a supposedly hands-free toy that’s actually suitable for hands-free use.

I like that, when you’re using the external vibrator and the egg together, you can control them completely separately. There’s one button for each part on both the main toy and the remote control. Each has five settings: three constant speeds and two patterns.

UEROS wearable vibrator with egg part attached

The silicone is soft and silky. Aesthetically, it’s also kind of fun. The metallic accents give the whole thing a vaguely sci-fi/techno feel.

UEROS Wearable Vibe Set: The Bad

Buckle in, because once I started actually trying this product, things went sideways fast.

The placement of the buttons on the top side of the toy seems fine initially, but quickly reveals a significant problem. If you’re having penetrative sex in a face-to-face position such as missionary, the chances of the toy getting smushed between bodies and accidentally turned off are very high.

I also want to know why the clitoral stimulator is squishy. This makes the already-poor vibration transmission even worse and makes it hard to get any significant, consistent pressure.

Underside of UEROS wearable vibrator showing squishy clitoral stimulator

My biggest complaint about this toy, though? The sizing of the included harness/panty, without which the main function of the toy is unusable. UEROS claims this item is size inclusive, which is laughably untrue. It is adjustable, but only accommodates waist sizes of ~28″ to ~38″. Apparently it was “rigorously tested on diverse body types”, which means on women (presumably cis) between 5’3″ and 5’8″ and between 60 and 70kg. That’s not a diverse range of body types. That’s a difference of maybe two or three dress sizes, if that.

Crotchless panties/harness that comes with UEROS wearable vibrator set

If you’re going to design a toy that’s exclusively for thin people… well, first of all, don’t. But if you must, at least be honest about it. Claiming a demonstrably exclusionary product is size-inclusive doesn’t make it so.

Finally, the UEROS wearable vibe’s vibrations are nothing short of useless. They’re as weak and buzzy as they come. There is zero possibility of this toy ever giving me an orgasm, in any configuration. And believe me, I’ve tried.

Verdict

This is a product that is significantly better in theory than in practice. I don’t know if corners were cut to bring it to market faster or if it just wasn’t tested sufficiently, but there’s so much wrong with the execution of what is objectively a good idea.

The UEROS wearable vibe set could have been a great product. Unfortunately, in its current state, it just isn’t.

This set retails for $99.

Hot pink background, text reads "Chalovelo Thrum Rabbit Vibrator"

[Toy Review] Chalovelo Thrum Triple Stimulation Rabbit Vibrator

Published on November 25, 2025November 25, 2025 by Amy

Did you know that the first rabbit vibrator hit the shelves way back in 1984? Designed by Vibratex (of Magic Wand fame), it was called the “Rabbit Pearl” and featured rotating beads inside the shaft for added stimulation. Those of you who are my age or older might remember when a 1998 episode of Sex and the City, titled “The Turtle and the Hare,” featured that very same toy. While that episode did not age well (the concept of “vibrator addiction” needs to die), it cemented the rabbit vibrator’s enduring popularity. Why am I banging on about this now? Well, because I recently received the Chalovelo Thrum, a modern triple stimulation vibrator that returns to that classic “beads in the shaft” rabbit design of old.

Chalovelo Thrum Triple Stimulation Rabbit Vibrator

Chalovelo pale pink rabbit vibrator with beaded shaft

The Chalovelo Thrum is a rabbit vibrator measuring 9.7″ in length and 1.3″ in diameter at the widest insertable point. Its design is the classic rabbit shape, with a rigid insertable shaft with a slightly bulbous head, and a flexible clitoral stimulator. At the end of the clitoral stimulator there’s a little ball and, as previously mentioned, the shaft contains a series of rotating beads.

The internal stimulator wiggles back and forth in a “come hither” motion, the beads expand and contract, and the clitoral stimulator vibrates.

Chalovelo triple stimulation rabbit vibrator

The Thrum is a triple stimulation vibrator designed to stimulate the G-spot, clitoris, and A-spot simultaneously. For those who aren’t aware, the A-spot refers to the anterior fornix, an erogenous zone located deep inside the vagina close to the cervix. I’ll be honest, I’m not really a deep penetration gal and I prefer things to stay far away from my cervix. However, some people find this area intensely pleasurable to stimulate. To learn more about the often-overlooked A-spot, check out this informative piece by Kate Sloan.

The Chalovelo Thrum is made of body-safe pale pink silicone. It is rechargeable via the included magnetic cable, and IPX-6 water resistant (non-submersible.) It comes with a 5 year manufacturer’s warranty.

Chalovelo Thrum: Pros

Let’s start by looking at the things I liked about the Chalovelo Thrum triple stimulation rabbit vibrator.

I like the curved tip of the insertable shaft, which allows for targeted G-spot (or A-spot, if that’s your thing) stimulation. Those who prefer a more rigid toy will enjoy the firmness of the Thrum’s shaft. The come-hither motion of the internal stimulator is also excellent. Its short, rapid movements mimic the sensation of fingers against the G-spot.

Chalovelo triple stimulation rabbit vibrator with beaded shaft

I surprised myself with how much I enjoyed the feel of the beads in the shaft. This design seems to have fallen out of fashion in recent years and I’ve never actually tried a beaded rabbit before. I thought the sensation might be uncomfortable but, with some warmup and plenty of lube, it was surprisingly pleasurable. When I inserted the toy only part-way, I particularly enjoyed the feeling of the beads around my sensitive vaginal opening.

The design of the clitoral stimulator is interesting. Though it lacks a lot in practice (see below), I like the idea of the ball tip.

I like that you can control the settings of each of the two arms independently. The two-button interface is quick to learn and simple to use. The handle sits comfortably in my hand and the buttons are intuitively placed for quick settings changes during use without losing your flow.

Chalovelo Thrum: Cons

My main complaint about the Chalovelo Thrum is a complaint I’ve made about so, so many double and triple stimulation vibrators over the years: it treats the clitoris as an afterthought.

Though I like the ball tip design of the clitoral stimulator, that’s about the only thing I like about it. This external shaft and the ball are both far too flexible. This makes it impossible to get any significant pressure, and as soon as I move the toy (or move against it), it just loses contact with my clit. The motor’s power isn’t bad, but it is extremely buzzy.

I thought it was a well-known fact by now that clitoral stimulation is essential for the vast majority of people with vulvas to reach orgasm. In a double or triple stimulation vibrator, the clit should be the main event, not a poorly-conceived add-on.

I also found the single-directional controls frustrating and, though the separate settings controls are good, I would have liked the option to have one motor switched on and the other completely off.

Finally, as with virtually all thrusting or “come hither” toys, the noise is enraging. It makes a sort of high-pitched squeak that is incredibly distracting and uncomfortable to a sound-sensitive person like me. I can’t really blame Chalovelo for this, to be fair – again, virtually all toys of this type make this sound and I think it’s unavoidable – but it still detracts from the overall user experience.

Thrum Triple Stimulation Rabbit Vibrator: Verdict

There are aspects of the Thrum triple stimulation rabbit vibrator that I really like, and aspects that I find incredibly frustrating. The internal stimulation portion of this toy, with its come-hither motion, rotating beads, and firm yet slightly curved shaft, is excellent. However, the clitoral stimulator is really quite shockingly poor by comparison, which left me feeling “blah” about the whole experience.

If there was a new version of this toy with a more rumbly external motor and a more thoughtfully designed external shaft that wouldn’t slide off my clit every three seconds? I’d be interested.

The Chalovelo Thrum triple stimulation rabbit vibrator retails for $39.90 directly from the manufacturer.

5 Fun Ways to Use a Ride-On Sex Machine

Published on August 18, 2025October 15, 2025 by Amy

A ride-on sex machine like the Rider Desire Sex Saddle I reviewed last week, as well as pricier alternatives such as the Sybian and Cowgirl, is the ultimate wishlist sex toy for a lot of people. They’re certainly unique, offering a kind of stimulation and intensity it can be hard to replicate in other ways. Having been lucky enough to try a couple of different ones and now to own one… let’s talk about them!

What is a Ride-On Sex Machine?

In short, it’s a vibrating toy that you mount or straddle and then thrust or grind against. Most have some kind of interchangeable attachments, most often penetrative toys. Some, like the Rider Desire, can also be used without attachments if clitoral or other external stimulation is more your jam.

(By the way: ride-on sex machines aren’t only for people with vulvas! Anyone who enjoys anal penetration can also use one, regardless of gender or genitals. Some also come with attachments specifically for penises!)

Historically, most ride-on sex machines (such as the Sybian and its alternatives) have been mains-powered. However, rechargeable and cordless versions are now becoming increasingly available, too.

Why Do People Like Them?

As with anything: all kinds of reasons!

As anyone who has ever masturbated by humping their pillow will know, grinding on something can be an intensely pleasurable sensation. A ride-on sex machine kicks that sensation up several notches.

Some people also enjoy the kneeling or straddling position a sex machine offers. For some it will be more comfortable or physically accessible than other positions, while some enjoy the way it mimics the feeling of riding a partner in the so-called “cowgirl” position. The rocking and grinding motion you can get with a saddle sex machine is also more pleasurable than the thrusting motion offered by handheld dildos or traditional “fucking machines” for a lot of users.

Then there’s the kinky potential a ride-on sex machine offers, if you’re into that kind of thing.

5 Fun Ways to Use a Ride-On Sex Machine

If all you ever want to do with your sex machine is ride it and get off, that’s fabulous! Have the best time. But if you’re looking for some additional ideas, here are a few suggestions for fun things you might want to try out with your ride-on sex machine.

Experiment with Different Positions

The “classic” way to use a ride-on sex machine is, of course, the straddling position. But you can get as creative as you like! As always, the only correct way to do it is the way that feels good to you.

Floor hurting your knees? Try putting the machine on the bed or protecting your knees with cushions. Straddling position uncomfortable for your hips or back? Try a seated position with the toy between your legs instead. Lying down with the toy underneath you and grinding against it that way is another option. Does riding it “backwards” feel better for your body?

Experiment and see what feels good. There are no rules here.

Give (or Take) Control with a Partner

Many ride-on sex machines, including the Sybian and alternatives such as the Rider Desire, come with a remote control. This isn’t just a convenient way to control the toy without needing to fiddle with manual buttons. You can also use it to hand over control to a partner.

If you’re submissively inclined, you might enjoy your partner taking over and controlling your experience, allowing you to get completely into the moment and just feel the sensations. If you’re more dominant, why not make your submissive partner watch you get off with your machine, changing the settings or speed on your command?

Play with Forced Orgasms

In the context of kink and BDSM, a forced orgasm is a kind of kinky game where the submissive partner is “made” to orgasm while trying not to, sometimes just once and sometimes over and over.

Of course, the term “forced” is a misnomer. As with everything in sex, kink, and BDSM, this must only be done with explicit, enthusiastic consent and it is essential to have a safeword or other way the receiving partner can tap out at any time.

A ride-on sex machine can be a great way to experiment with forced orgasm play as the stimulation is intense and relentless by design. If you want to up the intensity even further, consider experimenting with combining your sex machine with bondage or restraint.

Try to Do Something Else While You Ride

Anyone else remember those kinky video clips of someone trying to read aloud while someone went down on them? You can adapt this concept for use with your ride-on sex machine. Try reading aloud, reciting lines, or performing a memory task while you ride the toy and gradually increase the intensity, and see how long you can last.

This is particularly fun if you combine it with power exchange. Perhaps the submissive partner gets punished when they make a mistake?

Combine Your Ride-On Sex Machine with Other Toys

I already said in my review that my favourite way to use the VVD Rider Desire ride-on sex machine is to use it without any of the internal attachments it comes with. As more of a clitoral stimulation gal than a penetration lover, that’s just what feels best to me.

Absolute gamechanger, though? Pairing the Rider Desire with one of my Grind Pads. You get the powerful vibrations of the Rider Desire combined with the textured stimulation of the grinder.

This works best with a grinder that comes with straps, as these will hold it in place on top of the machine no matter how vigorously you grind.

[Toy Review] VVD Rider Desire Sex Saddle

Published on August 12, 2025October 15, 2025 by Amy

There are certain items I wanted to get my hands on for ages before finally managing to, and receiving them felt like a career milestone of sorts. (Then there are certain toys that I liked the idea of owning, but the reality was really annoying. Looking at you, 42lb sex doll I have absolutely no use for that is still taking up space in my guest room.) One category I’ve been keen to explore for forever? Ride-on toys like the vibrating saddle sex machine we’re looking at today.

A sex saddle is, essentially, a toy that you straddle. Most have a part that goes inside the vagina, and then another part that stimulates the clit. Some come with interchangeable attachments for different riding experiences. The Sybian and Cowgirl are probably the most famous iterations.

VVD recently reached out and offered to sponsor a review of their “Rider Desire” sex saddle. Obviously I immediately said yes. It looks a little something like this:

VVD Rider Desire Saddle Sex Machine

VVD, or “Viva Desire”, is a women-led brand currently producing a small line of toys aimed at people with vulvas. Currently, the Rider Desire is VVD’s flagship product, along with the “VKini“.

VVD Rider Desire sex saddle box — Image: VVD

The Rider Desire is a vibrating saddle-shaped ride-on sex toy made of a combination of hard plastic and soft silicone.

The Rider Desire comes with three attachments: a simple vibrating dildo, a thrusting attachment, and a tapping attachment. It also has an external part that vibrates and “taps” against the clit. It can also be used without attachments, which I’ll get into in more detail below.

VVD Rider Desire attachments image and sex saddle viewed from above — Image: VVD

Though it comes in a sizeable box, the Rider Desire is actually both smaller and lighter than a lot of other sex saddles on the market. It measures 44cm/17.3″ in total length, 24cm/9.4″ in width, and 20cm/7.8″ in height, and weighs 1.9kg or 4.2lb. Not the smallest or lightest thing ever, but less cumbersome than many comparable products. I recommend keeping the box it came in for easy storage of the saddle and its components.

What I Liked About the Rider Desire Vibrating Saddle Sex Machine

Let’s start by saying that I think this is an excellent product. Genuinely super impressive. So what specifically did I like about it?

Everything that touches your body is made of soft and body-safe silicone.
I love that it’s cordless! This offers much more flexibility in where and how I use it.
I love that the three attachments offer such different experiences and sensations! They’re not just different sized iterations of the same thing. The first is a basic curved vibrating dildo with a rippling texture. One offers a “tapping” sensation against the G-spot, similar to products such as the Lovense Osci. And the third provides a thrusting motion.
Even better, you can use this toy without any of the attachments, if you like! I’m generally more of a clitoral stimulation girl than a penetration girl, and I love being able to ride the VVD Sex Saddle and enjoy its amazing external motor (more on that in a minute) without needing to have something inside me unless I want to.
Let’s talk about that motor! So many ride-on or dual stimulation toys treat clitoral pleasure as an afterthought, giving us weak and buzzy motors that are more likely to numb me out than get me off. Not so here! The motor is strong and rumbly, and the tapping function is reminiscent of the (utterly excellent) Hot Octopuss Pulse Queen.
The attachments affix to the toy using a magnetic mechanism with a cut-out ridge to ensure you’re positioning them correctly. This means they stay in place well and don’t come loose during use.
The shape of the Rider Desire vibrating saddle sex machine allows for a gentle rocking motion, which is particularly enjoyable for me as someone who really loves getting off by grinding on things.
It comes with a remote control, allowing you to change the settings easily or hand over control to a partner. There’s definitely potential here for teasing and edging games, orgasm control, forced orgasm play, and more if you’re into any of that.

VVD Rider Desire buttons and remote control

If you prefer to use the buttons on the toy itself, this is easy. The buttons are intuitively positioned on the front underside of the toy. They are large and easy to press, and the controls are simple and intuitive. There’s a button to turn the saddle on and off, a button to activate the clitoral stimulator, and a button to activate the internal attachments. And yes, you can use both functions separately!
There’s a nice “heating” function that warms up the saddle to 42-45°C. Mmm, cosy!
It can actually be used hands-free!
While I wouldn’t call the Rider Desire a quiet toy, it’s definitely quieter than many other “sex saddle” type products.

Things to Be Aware Of

Perhaps due to its size, the Rider Desire saddle sex machine doesn’t have an amazing battery life. A full charge takes around 3 hours and gives just one and a quarter hours of runtime on average.

If you have pain in your knees or hips, you may find it challenging to use the Rider Desire on the floor. Try supporting your knees with cushions, putting the saddle on the bed or other soft surface instead, or even putting it on a chair and using it in a sitting position rather than a kneeling position. The only right way to do this is the way that’s comfortable for you!

Though the internal attachments are super easy to clean with a sterile wipe or warm water and soap, the external portion is a bit of a pain to clean. There are lots of ridges and the toy is only IPX5 waterproof, meaning it can withstand splashes but should not be submerged. I use a body-safe medical wipe and take extra care to get all the little crevices.

Personally, I wish there were more constant speeds and fewer patterns for the external portion. Does anyone actually like patterns? In my little world of sex geeks, folks seem to pretty much universally hate them.

The weight limit of the Rider Desire vibrating saddle is 150kg or 330lb, so it may not be suitable for those in bigger bodies.

I don’t mind it so much, but my partner and metamour – who also tested the toy – disliked the bright pink colour and suggested it would look more luxurious in a shade like the darker purple of the main box and attachments box.

VVD Rider Desire Saddle Sex Machine: Verdict

Overall, I think it’s fair to say that I was far more impressed by the Rider Desire Sex Saddle than I expected to be. It has actually good motors, great attachments, and a relatively lightweight build as well as good finishing touches like the remote control and intuitive button positioning. The ability to use it without penetration is what really tips it from good to great for me.

In my metamour’s words: 8/10 would ride again!

The VVD Rider Desire Sex Saddle retails for $399 US at full price. My readers can get $20 off with code “coffee.”

[Toy Review] BeYourLover Fatima

Published on June 26, 2025October 16, 2025 by Amy

What’s the most annoying thing about duo vibrators like rabbits? If you’re anything like me, you probably answered something like “they treat clitoral stimulation as an afterthought” or “the internal and external arms hardly ever work well together.” But what if a toy existed where you could detach the internal and external stimulators, using them separately or together? Enter the BeYourLover Fatima, which was sent to me this week by Juliet Toys.

2-in-1 Duo Vibrator: What is the BeYourLover Fatima?

BeYourLover Fatima duo vibrator in two separate pieces

The BeYourLover Fatima is a two-part sex toy. The basic design is a rabbit vibrator with a difference: there’s an insertable portion that both thrusts and vibrates, and a clitoral suction stimulator. What sets the Fatima apart, though, is that you can separate these two pieces and use them independently.

I’ve literally never seen anything like this detachable duo vibrator design before. So, points for innovation!

The Fatima measures 7.5″ in total length, 4.4″ in insertable length, and a slimline 1.27″ in diameter at the widest point. It is rechargeable, taking two hours to charge and giving a runtime of around an hour. It’s also IPX7 waterproof, AKA submersible – ideal for use in the bath or shower. It has 10 vibration settings and 7 thrusting modes, including 3 and 2 constant speeds respectively.

The Fatima is made of body-safe silicone with ABS plastic accents.

What I Liked About the BeYourLover Fatima Duo Vibrator

Before I start griping about all the things I didn’t like about this product, let’s give credit where it’s due and talk about the things that do work well.

BeYourLover Fatima duo vibrator attached in one piece

The duo idea of a separate and detachable vibrator and clitoral stimulator is really cool and genuinely original. I’d use my rabbit vibrators a lot more often if I could take them apart and use each piece separately, so having someone actually create a toy that does this is fantastic.
The clitoral stimulator, on its own, is good! It has 5 intensity levels, which amp up gradually from low to mid-level, and feel smooth and consistent. It also has a comfortable nozzle (though it’s a little on the small size, so something to be aware of if you have a larger clit.)
The insertable arm is a good length and I appreciate the narrow girth. It also has rippling texturing and a gentle curve. Honestly, if I was just using this as a dildo, I’d give it a solid 4/5.
You can use the thrusting function and the vibrating function on the internal arm separately. (Once you figure out the damn controls, anyway – see below!)
I love the warming function on the clitoral stimulator, which heats up fast to a pleasant 40-ish degrees C. This can help to enhance both comfort and pleasure.

BeYourLover Fatima clitoral stimulator, one half of duo 2-in-1 vibrator

Because the clitoral stimulator by itself is so small and the duo design allows it to be detached from the internal vibrator, I can see it being a really good option for packing when bag space is tight. Like when I’m on a cheap Ryanair flight to see my long-distance girlfriend, for example.
The thrusting feels good. I particularly like that it’s concentrated in the top couple of inches of the shaft. The result of this is that it feels less like hard pounding and more like a lover’s fingers rapidly tapping on my G-spot.
The BeYourLover Fatima is surprisingly quiet even when the thrusting is turned on. It’s still audible, of course, but it’s not so loud and squeaky that it makes me want to throw the toy across the room in two minutes. Which, honestly, is an improvement on many products of this type.

What I Didn’t Like

Unfortunately, though the Fatima duo vibrator is a cool and innovative design, it all starts falling apart in practice. Here are some of the things that desperately need to be improved before I can recommend this product.

There’s no actual mechanism that holds the two pieces together. You just stuff the clitoral stimulator into the hole in the front of the internal arm. Unfortunately this means that it repeatedly pops out in use.
I hate the controls for the internal arm. There’s a single-button interface that controls both the vibrations (via a single press) and the thrusting (via a double press.) Considering it doesn’t come with any English instructions, this is not exactly the easiest or most intuitive thing to figure out.
Speaking of controls, the topmost button on the clitoral stimulator is apparently supposed to control the thrusting function when the two pieces are attached, but it just… doesn’t. As in it literally does not do anything.
Speaking of controls again: the lack of dual-directional controls alongside the fact that the thrusting and vibrations are controlled by the same button is maddening.

BeYourLover Fatima clitoral stimulator buttons

Because the BeYourLover Fatima’s internal arm has no flex and the clitoral stimulator pops out of its hole if you move it around too much, comfortable positioning with this toy is basically impossible. I cannot get the external stimulator on my clit without poking myself painfully in the vaginal walls, and as soon as I thrust the clitoral stimulator loses contact with my clit.
The internal vibrations are not only buzzy as hell, but so concentrated in the base of the toy that it’s difficult to feel them much through the head.
The battery life of 1 hour isn’t great and you have to charge each part separately, which is frankly ridiculous.

BeYourLover Fatima Duo Detachable Vibrator: Verdict

I really wanted to love this toy but I’m afraid, taken as a whole, I sort of hate it. It’s always disappointing when something with so much promise is such a let-down in reality. The clitoral stimulator by itself is fine, and will probably get some use as a travel-friendly option. The thrusting function is also good. But the poor execution of the “two-in-one” design and the enraging controls make this one a nope from me.

You can get this toy from Juliet Toys for $89.90, but honestly… don’t. It’s egregiously overpriced for the quality. Get a good dual stimulation toy or buy a basic dildo and a good suction toy separately instead.

A snail shell. Text reads: SVibe Snail Curve

[Toy Review] SVibe Snail Curve

Published on June 26, 2025October 16, 2025 by Amy

I’ve been wanting to do a “Snail Vibe” review ever since I read Kate Sloan’s review of an earlier iteration back in 2022. And lucky me, I was recently approached by SVibe who invited me to do exactly that. They sent me the Snail Curve, which has been out in North America for a while but is now available for shipping globally!

What is the SVibe Snail Curve?

I’ve said it before: in a world where stolen designs abound and there are only so many iterations of “put this thing that vibrates on your genitals”, it is relatively rare to see genuine innovation in the sex toy industry. SVibe’s “Snail Vibe” range, though, ticks that box. I have genuinely never seen anything quite like these toys before.

The Snail Vibes are so called because… well, because look at it:

SVibe Snail vibe for review post. Pictured in its box

The basic premise of all SVibe’s Snail Vibes is the same. They are dual stimulation toys for the vagina and clitoris, much like the traditional rabbit vibe design. However, the spiral-shaped clitoral stimulator (the snail’s “shell”) unrolls as you thrust. What this means, at least in theory, is that it stays in constant contact with the clitoris. Perhaps the closest comparison with another toy on the market is the We-Vibe Nova. Since most people with vulvas require sustained and continuous clitoral stimulation to orgasm, this feature is already a game changer.

Did it work? You’ll have to read the next section to find out.

SVibe Snail vibrator with its storage case

The SVibe Snail Curve is made of body-safe silicone and available in pink, purple, peach, or black. It measures 9″ in total length and up to 5.5″ in insertable length. Its insertable diameter is 1.43″. It is also waterproof; no specfic IPX rating is provided but the website states that most of the company’s toys are suitable for use in the bath, so it’s probably IPX 7.

The Snail Curve is rechargeable via the included magnetic cable, with a 2 hour charge giving around an hour of runtime.

In 2024, the Snail Curve was the O Awards winner in the “Best Powered Product” category and nominated for the XBIZ “Sex Toy of the Year” award.

Snail Vibe Curve Review: What I Loved

Oh goodness, where to start? So many things about this product are just so well designed.

The design. This is, of course, this toy’s main selling point and oh my goodness, it’s an excellent one. The unrolling/unfurling design means that whether the insertable portion is two inches or five inches inside me, the external stimulator remains in constant contact with my clit. I can’t overstate how revolutionary it is for a dual stimulation vibe to actually stimulate my clit without me having to angle it all kinds of weird ways, insert it uncomfortably deeply, or poke myself in the side of the vagina. It also means I can actually press against the clitoral stimulator without it moving away like flimsy “rabbit ears” often do.
Related: I like the fact that I don’t have to insert it all the way to get decent clitoral contact. As shallow as a couple of inches will do the job, which is often the sweet spot for me anyway.
This design also makes this a more viable option for using on a partner, or having a partner use on me. Many rabbit-style vibrators are definitely “solo” toys for me (when I bother with them at all, which is rare) because the positioning is so finnicky.
The slimline shaft design makes it more usable and accessible to the many people, myself included, who often gravitate towards smaller insertables.
I love the texturing of the clitoral stimulator. However, lube is absolutely essential here.

SVibe Snail Curve with the clitoral stimulator unfurled

The long handle makes the toy comfortable to hold, whether you’re using it on yourself or a partner. It’s particularly helpful for positioning during solo use, in my experience.
The buttons are well-placed on the top of the finger loop at the end of the handle, and easy to press.
The controls are intuitive. Each of the two motors has a button for changing the speed (only one way, though) and a button for changing the pattern. There are five patterns including constant vibration and five intensity levels to choose from.
The motors are actually good! So many promising toys are let down by shitty, buzzy motors. Both of the SVibe Snail Curve’s motors, though, are strong and rumbly.
You can control the two motors completely separately! This is great news for someone like me who wants intense, rumbly clitoral stimulation and either very gentle vibes or, preferably, no vibes inside. It also means you can use different settings, patterns, and speeds simultaneously if you want to.

It’s fairly quiet.
It includes a zip-up storage case, which is a nice extra for a toy at this price point.

Anything I Didn’t Like?

Clitoral stimulator of SVibe snail vibe close up

Overall, this is a truly excellent vibrator and there is very little about it I can criticise. Personally, I would have liked the insertable shaft to have a slightly more pronounced curve. I would have also liked the shaft, which is very rigid, to have a little more flex.

In a totally ideal world, dual-directional speed controls would be good. But when there are only five speed to cycle through I can’t complain too much.

The battery life isn’t great, offering just an hour of running time on a full charge.

Finally, the handle transmits quite a lot of vibration through to my hand, though this is probably unavoidable.

SVibe Snail Vibe Curve Review: Verdict

The SVibe Snail Curve is, by every measure, a damn good toy. It’s also one that works incredibly well for my body in particular, which is relatively rare for a dual stimulation vibe. Even rarer: reliable clitoral stimulaton AND powerful, rumbly vibrations. I adore the innovative “unrolling” design, and I love that it’s suitable for those who don’t want deep penetration and for those who do.

And it looks like a snail, which is just pleasingly whimsical.

The SVibe Snail Curve retails for £111/$149 and is available from the manufacturer directly. Use code COFFEEKINK10 for 10% off!

[Toy Review] Tracy’s Dog Ciro Dual Stimulation Vibrator

Published on February 20, 2025November 10, 2025 by Amy

Tracy’s Dog are becoming a regular feature on this site as they’re currently putting out new products at an impressive rate, such as the recently launched Ciro – a dual stimulation vibrator with thrusting, licking, and vibrating motions – which I received to review this month.

Let’s take a look and find out how I got on with this latest offering.

Oh, and don’t forget to use my exclusive code coffee15 to get 15% off your purchase of the Ciro or any other Tracy’s Dog product.

What is the Ciro Dual Stimulation Vibrator?

The Ciro by Tracy’s Dog is a vaguely C-shaped dual stimulation clitoral and G-spot toy. The insertable portion both thrusts and vibrates, while the clitoral stimulator is a firm ball that rotates and vibrates. This toy’s insertable length is around 6″, and its diameter is around 1.4″ at the widest point.

Tracy's Dog Ciro dual stimulation vibrator

It is made of silicone in the signature purple shade that Tracy’s Dog use for many of their toys, and has a gold coloured plastic accent panel for the two buttons.

In the sturdy, magnetic-close box, you’ll also find the charging cable, a drawstring storage bag, two sachets of Tracy’s Dog lube (which I won’t be using because it contains glycerin and disodium EDTA, but YMMV), the instruction manual, a warranty card, and some stickers.

The Ciro is IPX6 waterproof, making it suitable for use in the shower. However, it’s not submersible, so don’t take it in the bath or dunk it in a sink of water to clean it! It is also rechargeable via the included magnetic cable. I’ll talk more about the charging and battery life a bit later on.

What I Liked About the Ciro

I was immediately intrigued by this unusual design and combination of features. Yet another boring iteration of a generic rabbit vibrator this is not! It’s nice to see something a bit different in the form of the round, rotating clitoral stimulator.

But how did it actually perform?

Let’s look at the things I liked about the Ciro.

Many dual stimulation vibrator designs treat clitoral stimulation as an afterthought (I’ve ranted about this before.) The Ciro does not. The rotating clitoral stimulator is just… really, really good, to be honest. It’s completely different to the traditional “bunny ears” design and I love it. It does not feel like “licking”, but it feels like having my clit massaged in circles with just the right amount of pressure. Yes. (Pro tip: lube makes this feel about 10,000 times better.)
The wavy ridges on the sides of the shaft will appeal to fans of texture. I like that I can feel them in use, but they’re not too intense.
The flexible hinge between the insertable shaft and the clitoral stimulator make it easy to position the toy in a way that works for your body. It also means it’s relatively easy to keep the clitoral stimulator in the right place during use (a major drawback of many rabbit toys is that it’s almost impossible to position both portions of the toy in the right way at the same time.)
The rigid shaft provides firm internal pressure, while the slight squishiness of the head is comfortable against my G-spot.

I like the relatively short thrust. Toys with long thrusts are often painful for me, risking poking me in the cervix (ouch. Ow. No.) Its motion feels more like a “come hither” than hard pounding, which is vastly preferable in my book.
Even the lowest thrusting speed is pretty intense! This isn’t one for those who prefer very slow strokes, but ideal for anyone looking for fast thrusting.
The three thrusting speeds and 7 patterns, plus 3 clitoral stimulation speeds, offer plenty of variety.
You can control the internal and external stimulators completely separately, with a simple one-button control for each function.
It retails for a relatively affordable £48.36

Overall, this toy is pretty intense. Even on the lower thrusting speed, with both parts switched on it comes close to feeling overstimulating for me. Which can be fun on occasion! I don’t think I’ll reach for it regularly, but there’s definitely a time and a place for this kind of toy.

What I Didn’t Like

Though it has many good features, there are also a few things about the Ciro that I found frustrating.

The vibrations are super buzzy. Like… so buzzy. They’re the kind of buzzy that is likely to numb out my clit long before ever getting me off.
Related: I wish it was possible to switch the vibrations off. I think I’d really love this toy if I could use the thrusting and rotating functions without the addition of annoying, buzzy vibes.
The battery life isn’t great. A full charge takes 150 minutes (2.5 hours) and only gives you 50-60 minutes of runtime.
There are, as usual, no dual directional controls. This isn’t so much of an issue for me, as I tend to just choose the settings I like and stick with them. But it’s something to be aware of if you prefer to swap and change between different speeds and settings.
Like virtually every thrusting sex toy I have ever tried, it makes an annoying kind of high-pitched squeaking noise. It’s not particularly loud, but this sound is really grating to me (probably one reason I don’t actually use thrusting toys very often!) It’s also not “whisper quiet”. Companies, stop with this cliché. It’s literally never true.

Ciro Dual Stimulation Vibrator: Verdict

Overall, I like this toy! It’s an innovative design not quite like anything I’ve seen before, and the rotating clitoral stimulator is truly excellent. I also particularly appreciated the shallow thrust depth and separate controls for each of the two parts. Though it does have some flaws, I’ll likely use this one again.
