This toy was shipped in a brown box with the return address labeled "web merchants". The toy itself came in a black box with a sleeve that was labeled as Focus which was also sealed with plastic wrap. I was impressed with the packaging of the toy, as not all toys from EF come in a box. Most from my experience are just in a plastic bag. You can use the box to store the toy in or just to store other items in general. The Focus comes with a small pamphlet, USB charging cord, and a see-through black drawstring bag. The toy was charged a bit when it arrived, so I was able to go through all of the functions. There are no continuous speeds with this toy, so if that's a function you're looking for, I suggest you look into something else. There are 12 different vibration patterns with no option for change in speed. Hold the pink button on the end for a few seconds to turn it on/off. Press the same button to flip through the different functions. The toy is hard but made with smooth silicone. The bendable feature only goes one way. There are some ridges close to the middle of the toy and a patch of small bumps on the button end.

I first used this toy with my partner as a couple's toy. I made sure to fully charge and clean the toy before play. I used the Focus for clit stimulation to get my vagina wet before inserting the toy. Definitely helped with foreplay. I went through a few of the functions on my clit, inserted the toy, then went through the rest. Pattern vibrations aren't my thing, but they were nice, steady, and not overwhelming. Once I got used to the toy a bit, my partner also inserted their penis into my vagina while the Focus was in as well. The outside of the toy stayed on the clit pretty good. The part of the toy that was inside of me was hard and uncomfortable. I thought maybe my partner was being too rough, so after I had them slow down and it was still uncomfortable, I had a feeling the toy was just too hard for my vagina.

Since this toy was uncomfortable for me to use, I was disappointed at first. However, my partner decided to give it a try for anal use during a different session. Once a toy is used for anal, I don't insert it back into my vagina unless there's a condom on the toy. Bacteria transferring from the anus to the vagina could cause infections. Before use, I made sure to wash with a mild soap, rinse, wash with a toy cleaner, then rinse again. Normally if you're using a toy for anal, you want something that has a base larger than the body of the toy to keep it from getting sucked in the rectum with the sphincter muscles, which are stronger than most people realize. Since this toy bends into the shape of a c, it made the toy safer to use. You'll want to use a lubricant during every anal play session. Since this toy is silicone, we used a water-based lubricant. I rubbed some lubricant on the outside of my partner's anus to help not only prepare for the toy but also help with foreplay and relaxing the muscles, which can be important for anal play. Once my partner was ready, I added a little more lube to the toy before inserting it. They enjoyed the way the toy hit their prostate. I added some more stimulation by giving my partner a hand job/Bj combo. They had such an intense experience they were tingling from head to toe afterward. The first time I used the Focus on my partner, we didn't turn on the vibrating function. My partner only likes vibrations on certain days. We since then explored using this toy more, and the functions were not overwhelming for my partner when turned on. Since the Focus doesn't get turned on every time it's used, the charge does last a while for us. If you like long sessions, I recommend having back up toys just in case.

The more intense vibrations can be found at the end that gets inserted. It would be great if the outer end vibrations were more intense for those who want to use the toy for clitoral stimulation. There is no continuous vibration mode, only patterns. The button is easy to push to go through all the different settings. There is no function to increase the intensity or speed.

I wasn't able to have an orgasm with this toy. However, we found that this makes a great anal toy to stimulate my partner's prostate. They had several intense orgasms with the Focus and hope to continue to use it in future play sessions.
