when babeland send me the pleasure top vibrator by doc johnson i was quite excited; until i tried to get it to work. this was clearly an issue that was not unique to myself as babeland has discontinued sales of this cheap replacement for the cone.
i am going to review it anyway but would strongly recommend that you explore other variations on this theme before purchase. i have linked the vibe at the homepage of the manufacturer simply so you can see it.
at first glance the pleasure top is a simple, easy to use and effective way to get yourself off. it has a flat base and a little thumblike nub sticking up from the middle of the cone and you can either sit on it or hold it against you while lying down.
unfortunately it took me something like TWENTY tries to put the lid on in such a way that the vibe even worked. i could never do it all the way up and still get function and i tried and tried and tried believe you me. even so, i soldiered on.
see what i do for y’all?
okay here’s the thing. when it works? it’s freaking awesome. you can sit as deeply as you like and the deeper you sit the more it throbs inside you. sadly, the base twists to change the intensity of the vibration and the more you writhe the more likely you are to TURN IT OFF!
worse? since you can’t turn the lid all the way shut you can also detach the battery contacts from the batteries and then you have to drag yourself off the thing and fuck around with it until you get it working again!!
you have no idea how frustrating this can get!
it wouldn’t be nearly as irksome if it didn’t work so well when it did work! sitting on this thing and undulating my clit along that little thumb was for sure one of the most pleasureable sensations that i’ve had this year! i was pretty much instantly drenched and happy and rounding the last turn in to the home stretch in a kentucky derby winning time okay?
i mean i was liking it a lot.
if the engineering were better i would have given this thing a nine out of ten, minus one for the thumb not being a little lower. that said, i would strongly advise not buying it as the irritation factor is far too high.
i mean babeland discontinued it!
i think i’m going to have to give this a two with honourable mention for the thumb part. that is one fantastic shape for a vibrating tip! it’s funny, i’ve never given such a bad score to a vibe i liked so much; in fact i dearly hope that doc johnson re-engineers the battery issue and rereleases the toy. i’ll get in line that’s for sure!
now can i mention the cone again? it gets reviews that gush from both men and women so maybe go check that out instead?!?

Awww I’m sorry you had such trouble!!! I reviewed this months ago for Babeland and honestly I had little issue. Sure, there are a few design flaws with the base and how it turns off/on….but honestly I experienced none of the frustration that you did.
It made me want to try the cone but then again, the reason I liked it so well is the thumb part. The cone lacks clit stimulation.

I reviewed pleasure tops a while back too, and wasn’t thrilled with it. It’s been sitting, unused, on my dresser ever since. I find I’m not happy with most Doc Johnson products.

lilly: i’m glad that you had a good time with it, i loved it except that i couldn’t get it to work! if it had been better engineered i would have given it a ten.
yeah that’s my feeling as well re the thumb part and the cone….

DJ puts out so many good adult toys that I guess they’re do for a bummer once in a blue moon. Wish this had gone better for you.

This is one toy that I guess I won’t be trying (although the thumb sounds great!) Generally quite pleased with Doc Johnson products, though.
