How to Make Rideable Sex Toys More Accessible for Bodies with Limitations

Rideable sex toys, like the infamous Sybian (pictured above) and its contemporary the MotorBunny, offer some delightful advantages over standard handheld toys. Namely:

  1. Using one of these toys is a hands-free method of receiving pleasure, so you can do other stuff while you ride it: finger somebody/give somebody a handjob, play with your nipples, or whatever your pervy little heart desires.
  2. Many people enjoy the humping/grinding motion that these toys allow for. It engages more muscles than the standard supine masturbation position, which can result in more satisfying orgasms for some users.
  3. It’s easier to apply more pressure to your genitals with a rideable vibe, because you’re working with gravity, grinding down on the toy, rather than having to intensely press a vibe against your body manually, which can tire out your hands/arms.
  4. Rideable toys are often more powerful than handheld vibrators, largely because many of them are powered electrically (as opposed to being rechargeable or battery-operated).
  5. Some people consider it visually hot to see someone writhing atop a rideable vibe. Long-distance couples, or couples who just enjoy voyeuristic/exhibitionistic play, might enjoy adding this type of toy to their repertoire.
  6. Depending on your specific disability/limitation(s), a rideable toy might be more accessible than handheld toys, because it can be ridden hands-free.

That last point, however, is debatable and highly variable. I, for example, have always struggled to use rideable vibrators, because of how my fibromyalgia impacts flexibility (or lack thereof) and pain in my knees, hips, and elbows. For the most part, I’d rather lie back and be a pillow princess when I jerk off!

That being said, I have picked up a few tricks over the years that make rideable vibes more accessible to me – so I thought I’d share those today, for the benefit of anybody who has similar struggles and would like to be able to use these vibes more comfortably. Your mileage may vary with all of these, of course, but I hope they help!

Put pillows everywhere

Pillows are often my first line of defense when dealing with a sexual accessibility issue. Giving a blowjob on a hardwood floor? Pillow under my knees, please! Receiving an over-the-knee spanking? I need a pillow to lay my head on, thanks! And by the same token, rideable vibrators are a lot easier for me to use if there’s a pillow under each knee, and ideally also a pillow where each of my elbows would land if I got onto all fours. Hey, a girl’s gotta have options!

Lean forward onto all fours

While I’m on the subject… Sometimes I do this when I want to take some pressure off my knees for a while, and it helps a lot. It also changes up the angle and pressure of the toy against my junk, providing a nice variation in sensation. Incidentally also offers a nice view for any spectators, especially if they happen to enjoy butts…

Use it on a bed + lean on the headboard

Make sure to check your vibe’s instruction manual before doing this, because some of them need to be used on hard floors only, for safety/mechanics reasons – but certain rideable toys can be hauled up onto a bed, which gives you some built-in cushioning for your joints and also might afford you access to a headboard, onto which you can displace some of your weight. (This is the only way I’m ever able to sit on anybody’s face these days, tbh… Thank heavens for the humble headboard, enabler of horny acrobatics!)

Kinkify it

You’ve heard the phrase “If you can’t beat ’em, join ’em”… and similarly, when it comes to pain, I sometimes feel like: If I can’t beat it, I might as well make it hot. Kink is a way to do that!

It’s debatable whether rideable vibes can be considered kink toys in and of themselves (and here’s a comprehensive guide on BDSM gear if you need it!), but they can certainly be utilized in kinky ways. I am often more able to endure pain if I know my dominant wants me to endure it, and that’s true of both pain my dom gives me directly, and pain that my body generates all on its own. For instance, I could see it being hot if a dom (who was otherwise totally compassionate about my illness) instructed me to stay on a rideable vibe for a few minutes longer than I’d prefer, just because they enjoyed the visual so much and wanted to get off on it. 🥵 Sign me up!

 

Fellow babes with disabilities/limitations, what other methods have you found for making rideable vibrators more accessible?

The BEST long-distance sex toys – at the best Black Friday prices!

Kate Sloan

The other day, I was on the phone with a far-away person I’m newly dating, and I whined, “How am I going to get through the next few months without fucking you?!” This person and I likely won’t be able to see each other IRL again until the new year, which is causing me great consternation, because frankly, I want them to tear me apart.

They laughed good-naturedly, like they understood exactly how I feel – and then they said, “Innovations like this will help,” while sharply buzzing the Lovense Lush Mini that was inside me at the time. I gasped when I felt their teasing touch from 2,500 miles away, just as I would if they had slid two fingers inside me while lying next to me in bed.

These ‘teledildonic’ technologies (as they’re called in the biz) still astonish me whenever I use them. I never could’ve dreamed, as a horny swoony young thing in the early days of the social internet, that someday even my most geographically distant crushes could fuck me senseless, without so much as setting foot in my country – and that it could actually feel intimate, romantic, and hot. The internet has certainly wrought many evils on the world, but I regard teledildonics as one of its more positive achievements, a massive step forward in the human ability to connect.

All this to say: long-distance sex toy company Lovense is having a Black Friday sale right now, and I am more than qualified to tell you which of their toys you should snap up, whether you plan on using them solo, with a nearby partner, or with someone who lives hundreds (if not thousands) of miles away from you.

L to R: Lush Mini, Edge 2, and Domi 2

Lush Mini G-spot vibrator (full review here) – $129

My current fave in the Lovense lineup, this one is comfy, quiet, and deliciously rumbly. My G-spot is very picky when it comes to vibration, but the deep resonance and wide range of these vibrations make it feel wonderful, even throughout lengthy sessions lasting up to 2 hours (!!). This toy is so well-shaped for G-spot stimulation that it can even make me squirt. Pretty amazing stuff.

Edge 2 vibrating butt plug – on sale for $89

This is one of my absolute faves to use on a partner – specifically, a prostate-possessing partner – because it has two different motors which you can control separately, one that massages the perineum and one that targets the prostate more directly. The angle of the plug is adjustable, so it’s a good pick whether you like a lot of prostate pressure or not much at all.

Domi 2 wand vibrator (full review here) – on sale for $89

It’s a known fact that I love wand vibrators, so of course I enjoy Lovense’s wand! It’s not as rumbly/powerful as some full-size wands I’ve tried, but its range of intensities is nonetheless impressive, and I enjoy its petite form factor, which makes it more accessible to me than those heftier wands. It’s even small enough to use during PIV sex in certain positions.

L to R: Ambi, Flexer, Nora, and Max 2

Ambi bullet vibrator – on sale for $35!!

Probably the best deal in this whole sale! The Ambi is Lovense’s answer to other rumbly bullets like my beloved Tango X. Its cool handle shape makes it easier to hold in various positions, and its shape gives you tons of sensation options, from broad to pinpoint pleasure. If you’ve been wanting to experience Lovense’s legendarily rumbly motors, $35 for an Ambi is probably the best deal you’re ever gonna get!

Flexer dual-stimulation wearable vibe – on sale for $89

Intrigued by the bestselling Lush, but prefer something with clitoral stimulation? The Flexer is for you! Its internal portion is shaped to curve right into your G-spot just like the Lush does, but it also has an external arm that delivers deep, rumbly clitoral vibrations. A must-have for fans of blended orgasms – plus it’s comfy when ‘worn’ out and about (especially with a good water-based lube, reapplied as needed) so it’s great for discreet public scenes.

Nora & Max 2 rabbit vibe + vibrating stroker bundle – on sale for $179

One of the coolest things about Lovense’s teledildonic toys is that some of them can ‘talk to’ each other, making long-distance sex feel even more like sex. For example, the faster you thrust the Nora rabbit vibe in and out of yourself, the more intensely your partner’s Max 2 stroker will vibrate… or, the faster you thrust in and out of your Max 2 stroker, the more intensely your partner’s Nora rabbit will vibrate. My wife and I have enjoyed using these toys both together and separately, and this Black Friday sale is a fantastic deal on the duo!

5 Ways to Ask a New Partner About Your Favorite Kink(s)

Kate Sloan
Or you could do what I do and just flag your kinks/sexuality on your leather jacket… (Photo by mb)

The best advice I ever got was from my late grandmother, who used to say to me: “You don’t ask, you don’t get.”

The more time that has passed, the more useful and true I have found this to be. How could I have known, without pitching them, that the Magic Wand company would happily commission me to make a podcast miniseries about their product? How could I have known that the “Twitter admirer” I later married indeed wanted to make out with me on our first date, if I hadn’t asked her? How could I have found beautiful apartments to live in, rad new publications to write for, or new friends in improv classes, if I hadn’t had the guts to reach out and ask for what I wanted?

I think this advice applies across the board in life, but of course, as a sex-&-relationships nerd, I’m most inclined to implement it in those areas. It’s especially useful to ask for what you want in bed when you’ve just started talking to someone new – whether you met them through mutual friends, over social media, or on the best dating app for LGBTQ in USA – because it can help you quickly filter out people you’re not compatible with, thereby being able to move onto more suitable prospects sooner. No sense in dragging out a doomed connection, if you ask me!

I know asking for what you want is hard as fuck, though, so here are 5 of my favorite tried-and-true methods of raising a beloved kink with a new person:

“Have you ever tried ___?”

I like this because it’s simple, effective, and direct, without being like, “Do you want to ___ with me right now?!” which runs the risk of scaring people off, even if they might otherwise warm up to what you’re asking. When you inquire about someone’s experience level with a particular kink or dynamic, you might learn that they’re horrified by the very idea, or you might instead learn that they’ve tried it several times and have very specific thoughts on how they’d like to do it next. Again, you never know until you ask!

“Have you seen [insert media property here]? What did you think of that scene where ___?”

One of the many joys of consuming great media (and sometimes even subpar media): it can be an easy gateway into conversations we want to have about sex and relationships. Whether you’re ascertaining a new beau’s stance on spanking by citing Secretary, sleuthing out a partner’s feelings on lifestyle D/s by invoking Fifty Shades of Grey, or assessing someone’s views on polyamory through the lens of Professor Marston and the Wonder Women, media references are a fabulously low-pressure way to dig into the conversations you want to be having.

“What do you think some people find hot about ___?”

This one is best utilized when talking to a sex nerd, someone who seems inclined to puzzle through the mysteries of the human sexual psyche with you. You can parlay a theoretical conversation about kink motivations into a more direct and personal conversation about your own kink motivations – if they don’t recoil at the very thought of the kink you’re pondering, which unfortunately can happen sometimes. This is also a good way to gauge someone’s general sex-positivity and empathy toward those with different sexualities from them.

“Would you ever wanna ___ with me?”

A bigger (and scarier) swing than a lot of these more indirect approaches, for sure, but sometimes the moment calls for that! I like this particular phrasing because it’s less urgently pressurey than “Do you wanna ___ [right now/tomorrow/next weekend]?” and it’s bolder and clearer than a vague “How do you feel about ___?” This phrasing also leaves the door open for them to raise any concerns or caveats they may have: “You know, I’d love to, but only if we [keep the lights off/pre-negotiate our aftercare needs/have experimental jazz blaring in the background]!”

“Can I show you a hot porn clip where ___? Then, if you want, you can show me a video you like!”

You’re definitely gonna wanna ‘read the room’ on this one, since some people would be aghast at the mere mention of watching porn with a partner, let alone kinky porn… but if your sweetheart seems open-minded, a co-curated smut screening can be a good way to open up to each other about your desires, without having to use your words. (Although, ideally, you would then use your words when negotiating the specifics of what you want to do together.) And naturally, porn is meant to arouse, so it functions as great foreplay for whatever comes next!

Review: Lovense Spinel app-controlled thrusting sex machine

Kate Sloan

What is the Lovense Spinel sex machine?

Regular readers of this blog already know that I adore sex toys made by Lovense, the leading company in the long-distance sex toys game. I was in an LDR with my wife for over 7 years before we were finally able to move in together, and I’m also newly dating someone who lives 2,500 miles from me, so trust me when I say: I have put these toys through their paces, and they hold up.

The Spinel is the latest release from this innovative company. It’s described as an “app-controlled multi-attachment thrusting vibrating & heating sex machine.” As you may know, a “sex machine” is traditionally a big, bulky behemoth that can piston a dildo in and out of you at top speeds. With the Spinel, however, Lovense is trying to bring you sex-machine-level power, at a way lower price point and smaller size than most of the classic sex machines.

The Spinel consists of many different parts, which can be paired and swapped out in various ways:

  • A base unit, which powers the thrusting and has buttons on it that can be used to control the toy in lieu of using the Lovense app
  • A “G-curve” attachment, which is shaped to target the G-spot with its deep curve and its broad, flat head
  • Another attachment which is straighter, longer, has some lightly rippled texture along its shaft, and can additionally heat up and vibrate (which the G-curve attachment cannot)
  • A “clitoral base” attachment which can be optionally paired with either of the other two attachments, to rub against your clit with each thrust
  • A detachable, angle-adjustable suction cup stand, which enables you to affix the toy to a flat, hard surface (like a shower wall or tile floor) for hands-free use
  • A detachable, angle-adjustable handle for handheld usage
L to R: handle, clitoral base attachment, G-curve attachment, non-curved attachment, and base unit

Things I like about the Lovense Spinel

  • Strong, fast thrusting: If you like to get well-and-truly railed, you’ll probably enjoy this toy. Its thrusting is much stronger and more decisive than something like a Fun Factory Stronic (RIP). Whether I’m targeting my G-spot with the “G-curve” attachment, or massaging my whole upper vaginal wall and A-spot with the straight-but-gently-rippled attachment, the thrusting feels really good. Pairing it with a good clit vibe leads to some intense orgasms, and this toy can even make me squirt. Yay!
  • Modular parts: I love how much customizability you get with the Spinel. You can use either of its two penetrative attachments, swapping them out as desired, and can also pair either/both of them with the included “clitoral base attachment” to add some clit stim into the mix (although it didn’t work so well for me – more on that later). The removable attachments also make this toy easy to wash – you can clean the attachments with soap and water, without having to get the base unit wet (it’s only splashproof, not fully waterproof, and only when the charging port cap is on).
  • Multiple functions: The intense thrusting served up by the Spinel would be enough on its own for many users, but it also has a heating function and a vibration function, albeit only when you’re using the non-curved attachment (the curved one only thrusts, for some reason). The vibration is nice: rumbly, good range of intensities, and doesn’t distract too much from the main event, the thrusting.
  • App controllability: As with all the other Lovense toys I’ve tried, this one connects quickly and easily via Bluetooth to Lovense’s app, which enables you to control the toy yourself or hand over control to a long-distance partner, among numerous other functionalities. In the Spinel’s case, you can control the vibration strength and thrusting speed independently from one another – although, if you’re using the “G-curve” attachment, you can only control thrusting, since that one doesn’t vibrate.
  • Noise level: It’s surprisingly and unprecedentedly quiet for a fucking machine. Usually they whir and creak intolerably, but this one just sounds like the gentle thwack-thwack-thwack of far-away helicopter rotors, even when you turn up the thrusting to high speeds.
  • Multiple ways to hold (or not hold) it: The Spinel’s removable suction-cup base works great, and it’s easy to adjust the angle the way you want it. It also comes with a different, handle-shaped base for those who prefer using toys in a handheld way. When using the non-curved attachment, I tended to just hold the base unit in my hand without a handle or base, and that worked well too. These different options for holding the toy (or using it hands-free) make it a lot more versatile, not to mention much more accessible for people who struggle with chronic pain/muscle weakness/etc. like me.
  • Portability: The Spinel is way smaller than your standard-issue sex machine, and could therefore be carted around to sex dates, vacations, etc. I wish that it came with a nicer bag or box to carry around all its various components in, but the box it came in works fine for this purpose. The Spinel is a good option for anyone who wants a fucking machine but doesn’t have much living space to spare.
  • Price: As far as fucking machines and thrusters go, the Spinel is (I think) fairly priced, at $199. It delivers a lot of thrusting power, and includes a versatile set of attachments and accessories, which makes it a particularly good deal compared to other high-powered thrusting toys like the Hismith Premium 3.0 ($420), the VVD Sex Saddle ($350), and the Velvet Thruster ($255).
  • Turbo mode: The Spinel’s “turbo mode” instantly speeds up the thrusting to 150% of its current speed, regardless of what setting you’re on. Normally I don’t like this type of feature because it’s usually implemented in a way that makes it too easy to trigger accidentally, but in the Spinel’s case, you can only activate this mode by either holding down the thruster button on the base unit for 3 seconds, or tapping-and-holding for 3 seconds on a specific part of the app interface. This pretty much ensures that the toy only goes “turbo mode” when you actually want it to – such as during the lead-up to orgasm, when it could be most useful.
  • Aesthetic: The Spinel’s base unit features a pale pink-and-blue gradient which I really dig (trans pride flag colors, anyone?). When it’s set up on its suction-cup base, it almost looks like a fancy podcast mic…
  • USB-C charging: Most Lovense toys use a proprietary charger instead, so it’s nice for once that I could charge this toy with the same charger I use for my laptop if need be.
Featuring clitoral base attachment + G-curve attachment on suction cup base

Things I don’t like about the Lovense Spinel

  • Clitoral base attachment: While it’s an awesome idea to include a clit-stimulating attachment with a toy like this (since, as I’ve written here countless times before, the majority of people with vulvas require clit stimulation to reach orgasm), in practice there is very little distance between the penetrative part of the toy and its clitoral stimulator, so the clit part ends up bumping my urethra/the underside of my clitoral shaft instead. It pummels that area pretty intensely, because of the strength of the toy’s thrusting, which isn’t my jam but might be somebody else’s.
  • Too fast: This is very much a matter of personal taste, but the Spinel’s lowest thrusting speed is faster than most humans could sustain. Could be great for you if you enjoy really fast thrusting (and I know lots of people do!), but I am a person who often says “Slower, please!” while partners are fingerbanging me (for instance), so I always wish there were some slow-but-hard thrusting settings on these things. I also find that the Spinel’s thrusts feel less impactful the more you increase the thrusting speed – as with many other thrusters, it just starts to feel like vibration after a while.
  • Sometimes stalls out: If I try to push the toy too deep inside me, or hold onto its handle too firmly, sometimes the mechanics stall out, interrupting the rhythm of the thrusting. The toy will then work extra hard to catch up, so the next few thrusts afterward are jarringly firm.
  • Slightly finicky setup: I’d recommend keeping the instructions handy the first few times you switch out attachments, etc., as it’s a little tricky to figure out initially, although pretty easy and fast thereafter.
  • Issues with the handle base: Try as I might, I wasn’t physically able to push down the button which presumably allows you to change the toy’s angle while using the handheld handle – but, as I mentioned, I have a disability which affects muscle strength, so maybe the average person would be able to do it. Sucked to not be able to use what would otherwise be a rad accessibility feature, though! Additionally, when you try to use the handle at the same time as the non-curved dildo attachment, the handle faces away from the person being penetrated – so it’s really more useful for partnered play than for solo play.
  • Probably not anal-safe: Listen, you could try it… but I wouldn’t recommend it. There’s always a chance, albeit a tiny one, that the attachment could untwist, pop off, and get stuck in you. Stick to vaginal use for this one.
  • Long charging time: You have to charge the Spinel for 2 hours and 40 minutes to get it fully juiced up, which is longer than most other Lovense toys take to charge (makes sense, given the power of the Spinel’s thrusts!). That charge will last you a maximum of 4 hours and 17 minutes.
  • Charging port cap: Much like my otherwise-beloved Magic Wand Waterproof, the Spinel has a silicone cap which covers its charging port, but which is not attached to the body of the toy in any way. This makes it super easy to lose the cap (in fact, I’m pretty sure I’ve already lost mine), which renders the base unit non-waterproof, so you’ll need to take extra care to avoid getting water in the charging port when cleaning. On the plus side, Lovense does include one spare charging port cap in the box incase you lose yours too.
  • Can only use included attachments: Since there are some fucking machines (like the Hismith mentioned above) that let you use dildo attachments from any brand that makes compatible ones, it feels worth mentioning that the Spinel can only be used with the two attachments Lovense makes for it, at least currently. These attachments top out at a 1.53″ diameter and 5.29″ insertable length, so users who prefer larger penetration are outta luck.

Final thoughts

I’ve been particularly adoring Lovense toys recently, as they enable me to connect with long-distance sweethearts almost as intimately as if we were in the same room together. My favorite lately has been the Lush Mini, which satisfies my G-spot just fine, most of the time… but there are other times when that spot craves to get truly and utterly fucked, in which case a powerful sex machine like the Spinel can give me what I want.

For myself personally, I found it a bit too fast, and wished it had some slower settings… but the Spinel has so many features to recommend it, like its versatile modularity, amazingly low noise level, small form factor, and accessibility for folks who struggle to thrust a dildo themselves. It’s also way more reasonably priced than a lot of sex machines on the market.

I’ll be interested to see if Lovense introduces any more attachments for the Spinel in the future. I could see it becoming a fan favorite, but based on what I know about the fucking-machine enthusiast community, I would imagine some users would prefer larger penetration than the Spinel can provide as-is. Just an idea, Lovense! 😜

Overall, though… The Spinel is a truly impressive toy, and it’ll be the first thing I reach for the next time I want to get railed at a distance.

Review: Honey Play Box Vibrosa

Kate Sloan

What is the Honey Play Box Vibrosa?

Having been in long-distance dynamics for years at a time, I am no stranger to sex toys that are remotely controllable via Bluetooth. This is one of those – and while it looks, at first blush, like a pair of Kegel balls, it’s actually a vibrator designed to stimulate the G-spot and/or A-spot.

Each of the toy’s two “balls” has its own motor in it, and you can control those motors either separately or simultaneously using the Honey Play Box app. It’s made of silicone, and measures 4.64″ long by 1.45″ wide.

Things I like about the Honey Play Box Vibrosa

  • The HoneyPlayBox app is well-designed and has a bunch of cool features. You can use the 10 preset patterns (of which more in a second), or freely control each of the toy’s two motors separately; the interface is similar to that of Lovense toys. Connecting the toy to the app was quick and easy, too, and I didn’t experience any disconnection issues while testing.
  • While I normally dislike vibration patterns, the Vibrosa’s preset patterns are great, mostly because they’re all unrelenting rhythms with very little space between buzzes. To me, each of these patterns felt markedly more like being fingered than steady vibration would. You can also select songs from your music library to sync the vibrations to, if you prefer, which I found was another reliable way to strike the right balance between exciting variance and consistent rhythm.
  • The vibration quality is lovely: rumbly, deep, non-numbing. Each of the toy’s two motors seems to be tuned to a slightly different timbre, so you get some variety of sensation between the two. Somehow this makes it feel even more like someone is actually fingering my G-spot, which is cool.
  • The vibrations transmit somewhat into the toy’s “tail,” which sits on the outside of the body, so you get a bit of clitoral stimulation while using the Vibrosa – not enough that I could get off with it (as a member of the majority of vulva-owners who need clit stim to come), but enough that it noticeably adds to my pleasure.
  • The Vibrosa’s shape feels comfortable to me, and hits my G-spot well once I get it into the right position. Some of the vibrations transmit to my A-spot, too, if I insert the toy deeply enough – which feels really good and also offers more sensation options to whoever is controlling the vibe for me. Its grippy silicone ensures it doesn’t move around all that much, either, even when I get really wet.
  • It’s relatively quiet in use, as wearable Bluetooth-controllable vibes always should be, IMO, since you might want to use them discreetly in public places sometimes!
  • The toy can run for as long as 5 hours and 50 minutes on a one-hour charge – good news for those of us who hate when a vibrator dies mid-scene and want it to happen as seldom as possible!
  • It’s IPX7 waterproof, meaning you can safely submerge it in water while cleaning it or using it in the shower/bath, etc.

Things I don’t like about the Honey Play Box Vibrosa

  • Unfortunately a couple of the toy’s more interesting features just straight-up didn’t work for me. The “pressure sensitivity mode,” wherein squeezing your vag muscles around the toy is supposed to increase its vibrations, didn’t work at all, and the built-in A.I. chatbot kept erroring whenever I tried to speak to it.
  • The toy itself has only one button, which you can use to cycle through its 10 present patterns, none of which is just steady vibration. To control it any more granularly than that, you’ll need to connect it to the HoneyPlayBox app on your phone. I find this mildly annoying as someone who sometimes can’t be bothered to mess with apps when my hands are all lubey and I just want to concentrate on fantasies or porn, etc.
  • Minor gripe, but when using the preset vibration patterns via the HPB app, there is no visual feedback for the top (the person controlling the toy) as far as what the current pattern actually is/feels like. I would imagine most tops would want more precise control and would therefore stick to the ‘free control’ function.

Final thoughts

Lately I’ve had a few excellent long-distance vibrator sessions with a new sweetheart who lives on the west coast, and it’s been reminding me just how awesome these toys are. They allow you to connect sexually with someone who’s potentially thousands of miles away, and to feel almost like you’re actually being touched by that person. There are a lot of complaints I could make about being alive in 2025, but lack of good sex toy technologies is certainly not one of them!

The Honey Play Box Vibrosa offers the benefit of having two separately-controllable motors, unlike similar Bluetooth-compatible G-spot vibes such as the Lovense Lush. This allows its usage to feel more like I’m actually being fingered by a partner, since, in practice, most humans won’t finger you in the exact same spot for many minutes at a time; typically they’ll mix things up, trying out different depths and angles, and this toy allows for more variety in that way.

I wish that its pressure-sensor function had actually worked for me, but aside from that, I think this is a pleasantly rumbly vibrator that would work well for long-distance play and/or surreptitious public play, because of its comfy wearability and quietness. Shout-out to Honey Play Box for making such a solid toy!
