So I have to start out by saying I am new to the whole electro-stim/sex area and wanted to start out simple. The Fetish Fantasy Shock Therapy Probe is a great toy for someone who, like me, is curious what this e-stim stuff is all about. being only 3" long and a maximum diameter of 1", it is not an intimidating size. While I wouldn't necessarily recommend this toy to an anal beginner, size wise, it would be fine for a beginner. I did not test this toy with a partner vaginally, so I can't comment on how it would perform in that use, but I think it would be fine. It would NOT be filling though if you are used to a full feeling with your toys.

My first impression out of the box was, that it was much smaller than I had envisioned. The toy is made primarily out of plastic and metal. It comes in two parts, the control and the probe, which is removable with a plug that reminded me of a headphone jack. Pretty self explanatory.

This toy should NOT be used ANYWHERE near water, on anyone pregnant, with heart conditions, etc. Read the Disclaimers before using/purchasing. Also only wash this toy using toy cleaner and make sure it is turned off. I used a water based lube with this toy. I am not sure how other lubes would perform given the conductivity of other liquids.


The toy can be used with or without the probe, allowing for the toy to be more versatile if you want to use it all over the body are a small shocking device. I did not tr it like this, but I can say you can feel the shock if just holding the control (when set to send the shock to the control)

There are 3 controls on this toy:

In/Out - In = shock impulses go to the control unit ; Out = shocks go to the plugged in probe.
Fast/Slow - Frequency of the shock impulse; slow is more of a "tick-tock" paced on/off shock, fast is well, fast. I would describe the fast pace more as a constant flow that almost makes the probe seem to vibrate.

On/Off/ Strength wheel - Turns on the toy and controls the strength of the shock.

As for how the toy performed, well, it is hard for me to say as i have nothing to compare it to in terms of e-stim. As a newcomer to the whole thing, I enjoyed trying something new. It was a sensation that no toy could compare to that I have used so far. I must admit, I was not able to withstand the chock at its full strength, but did enjoy it at a somewhat medium setting. It felt almost like I was being penetrated and thrusted into even though I knew I wasn't. When the shock was at a more "low" setting, I could barely feel it. When it was more on a high (but not highest, I didn't get that far) it was a bit painful... almost like touching a live wire while repairing a light switch. This sensation could be for some, but it wasn't for me.

Beyond the fact that the higher setting was not a good feeling for me personally, there were two things I disliked about this toy that I think could be improved. First, the strength wheel is hard to slowly adjust, which resulted in me accidentally turning it too high too fast which was not pleasurable. I think a smoother flowing control wheel or even some +/- buttons would have been better (and even better if they were made of rubber or a material more grip-able than plastic). Second, it uses an odd size battery which would be fairly expensive to replace. I am not sure how long 1 battery would last, but I found this to be disappointing. Lastly, I wish the toy was made of a higher quality material as I am not a fan of plastic. It could also be a tiny bit bigger, but as I mentioned, the size was fine... Just a personal preference I suppose. I also felt like the toy could potentially leave an electrical burn if used for too long.

At $42 (at time of review), this toy is modestly priced for someone looking to try something new... which is fairly cheap compared to the other options out there. I would highly suggest this toy for those who are curious to try before investing in something more expensive and fancy as you may not like how the e-stim feels.
