I was somewhat skeptical of the toy covers. They sounded as beneficial as condoms have been in the past. The back of the cute folded toy cover holder, explained it was for vibrators. Well, that got me thinking, why is it best for vibrators? However, I was pleasantly surprised after I ran a series of tests. I bought a box of condoms (I don't use them for my toys since I clean and don't share), and got to work.

Test One: I used a regular condom with the new Symphony Interlude I got for review. Since it is TPR and can get some lint on it, I wanted a quick clean up. I used a basic non-lubricated condom (Trojan), and used the highest setting. First I went around the clit, really working it, and actually was somewhat surprised that 20 minutes in there was a slight tear in the condom! I opted to put another one on, and I was able to orgasm before any noticeable damage to the condom. Thinking that perhaps it might have been a fluke condom, I repeated the test with the same result; there was some noticeable stretch, and faint getting-ready-to-tear look at a certain spot.

Test Two: The next week I used the toy cover, and I didn't have to worry about tears or anything. I was able to keep going without switching out for a condom for the full 45 minutes it took to get a satisfying orgasm. However, these, like condoms, are a one-time use thing.

The differences between the condom and the toy cover are simple: the toy cover is thicker, to provide resilience, since the vibrations can cause micro-tearing on the latex. The thin barriers of condoms, for the stimulation of the male, provides easy tearing under such vigorous vibrations on a high setting, strong vibrator. Adding insertion, the tears may have come even sooner, however I did not use vaginal insertion for this one.

It is not needed to buy this sort of product. However, if you are primarily a vibrator user, don't really like condoms, and don't want to fuss about when you're trying to reach an orgasm, opt to purchase the toy covers. The size I got was a large, used for basic dildos and vibrators such as Symphony Interlude, and the small size for pocket rockets such as my Apollo (my review for it will come soon!).

I really enjoyed the fact that I could keep going without an interruption, and that it was exactly made for its intended purpose: to use with vibrators.

There isn't anything to dislike about this product--it's great! The only thing I'd say is sometimes it's a little hard to fit around oddly shaped pieces, but I opt for a regular condom in those cases.
