review: we vibe

you know how sometimes you desperately WANT to like something?

you read all the reviews and all the descriptions and you think it’s going to have to be one of the greatest things ever?  you’re expecting original star wars and you get attack of the clones?

that’s how i feel about the we-vibe.  everybody from always aroused girl to sex with sue johanson thinks this thing is the greatest thing ever and i?  i can’t stand it.

i want to like it, i especially want to like it since the fine folks at libida haven’t complained at all that i’ve had it for nearly two months with no review in sight.  i want to like it because it’s a great concept and yet?

okay let me take a step back.  the we-vibe is a u shaped toy with each end shaped like a teardrop.  each teardrop is a little vibrator, one for inside and one for your clit.  furthermore it’s rechargeable.  genius right?

a vibrator that isn’t a cock ring that’s designed to be used both in and out AND designed to be used while having sex or using a penetrative toy and it stays where you put it.  what’s not to like?

well the controls to start with.  this thing has two speeds fast and not as fast.  the controls are at the tip of the fatter of the two teardrops.  picture the head of a snake and the eyes are little controls and the mouth receives the charger.

so the idea is there is some kind of slider inside the eyes and you press one side for not-so-fast and press the other for fast. press one eye for slow and then the other to turn it off, press second side again for fast.  reverse for fast to slow. this is where the toy totally lost me.  once it’s all lubed up?  if you can control this thing when it’s covered with lube or girl juice you have far more nimble fingers than i!

i was seriously reaching down there into the sopping mess that was my unsatisfied pussy and trying and trying to change the speed and i never did manage to figure out what the correct angle was.  i could turn it off but i don’t think i could have turned it back on in fewer than ten tries if you offered me a hundred thousand dollars.

for real.  and i had trouble with it even dry and just trying it while sitting at my desk.

i managed to come once and i tested the toy three times.  by the third time i literally wanted to write a twelve word review: great toy if it costs 12 bucks, not so much at 124.  don’t bother leaving it charged either, it doesn’t store a charge for long.  (part of the reason this review has taken so long)

i do feel obliged to mention yet again that everyone else who has tried it seems to love it and i further must mention that if you want to sit at your desk and read porn or tease yourself for a good long time before coming then this is a great toy.

i can further see how it would really enhance penetrative sex if you needed just a little help for coming or your partner liked the feeling of vibrations on his cock.  i think it might even be spectacular for two women who were playing with each other prior to getting ‘down to business’ as it were.

it’s just that no matter what i do i cannot make myself like it, just can’t.

so *i* give this toy a three out of ten but again will mention that the average net review i saw was about a nine.  so i’d go read another review if i were you!
