Although I'm a fan of powerful toys, I was excited to try out this vibrating thong. I've seen a lot of these devices around, and have been curious to see if they'd do anything for me. My first impressions on unwrapping this toy were that the bullet is a nice design compared with other vibrating thongs on the market - it's button-shaped rather than a generic oblong bullet, meaning that it looks purpose-made for the thong, and fits better against the body. The groove shapes make it easy to open, and the colour will make it easy to find in my underwear drawer. The thong itself is very cute - it feels nice and well made, and looks cute enough to add to your lingerie drawer all by itself. Setup is very easy - the bullet comes with batteries and includes a spare set for multiple play sessions. There's a twist on/off function with one speed, which is surprisingly strong for a small vibe, and pleasantly buzzy. The vibe fits into a small, discreet pocket on the outside of the underwear, making insertion less fiddly. This is not a remote-controlled toy, so setup requires the user to manually turn on the vibe and slip it into the pocket, so public play might require some careful planning. Using this toy for the first time, I noticed the vibe pocket is very small, and I was initially worried the vibe might slip out at a crucial moment, but a thorough jog test reassured me that it wasn't going anywhere, even when buzzing. Once I'd fully started my test-ride, the vibrations were definitely noticeable, but because of the soft fabric, the lack of pressure on my body meant that the buzz didn't transfer very effectively - less sensitive users might want to pair this thong with tight jeans for more sensation. The motor was not terribly loud, but was definitely audible over the sound of the television, probably a downside if you're planning to take this out to a quiet restaurant. Another issue was that the vibe pocket was just that little bit far back, bringing the vibe to rest against my labia rather than my clitoris. In order to get proper clitoral stimulation, I had to hike the thong forwards, making it sit higher on m hips at the front. Still, I was determined to get the best out of it, and let the vibrations tease me gently for a few minutes while I walked around and washed a few dishes. The bullet wasn't as distracting as I would have liked, and definitely would never be enough to get me to lose control of myself in public, but it was enough to keep my attention on my intimate area. I decided to see it through to conclusion, and enlisted my gentleman friend for some help - with the bullet in place, I was able to add a new dimension to our cuddles by pressing against his body, grinding my way to a fully-clothed orgasm. A little selfish of me, but my partner was happy to see me tense up and blush on his lap. Cleanup was easy, as the thong survived a regular lingerie hand-wash very well. The bullet features a rubber inner band, making it appear splash-proof, and it survived being given a proper rinse and air-dry. The first set of batteries have survived two quick play sessions so far (totalling approximately 20 minutes), and will probably last one or two more before I have to change them. In conclusion, this is a nifty little novelty, set up for some cheeky portable fun, but with not enough interactive features for couples to fully play together, and not enough firepower to make a seasoned vibe user truly swoon. However, I'll be holding onto this toy for the next time I take a lady friend out to a club, as the teasing potential is very attractive, and will be guaranteed to set the mood for fun.
