The "Jumbo Life Saver." I find it rather ironic that one of the smallest toys in our collection is called "jumbo." Prior to picking this toy, I decided to orientate my browsing to the lower-priced selection. With all the toys above $50.00 on the market, does it really pay off to spend more money? Do you "get what you pay for?" Or is a vibrator just a vibrator at the end of the orgasm?

When the Jumbo Life Saver arrived, it was packaged as if to simulate a pack of lifesaver candies. I'm still out on whether I like this idea or not, as it is kind of cute and unoffensive, but yet would be a magnet for any kids if accidentally left out.

The toy itself has no resemblance to an actual cock. The material is hard, smooth plastic, with the on/off switch being a turn dial type at the base. The slender girth lends it to being more of a clit stimulator and not primarily a fucking tool. It did not have any obtrusive smells and seemed to be of sturdy construction for its price.

While using the Jumbo Life Saver, both my wife and I found the vibrations to be at a very high frequency, as it was buzzing more than actually vibrating. The buzzing was actually kind of annoying, and was actually discarded into the tangled sheets after several minutes of giving it a good, honest try on both her clit and my cock. The vibrations given off by the Jumbo Life Saver seemed to stay at the surface, and numb the affected body part, definitely not something you want to happen to your clit or cock during sex.

After using several different types of vibrators, I have noticed some have a very low or deep resonance, which seems to penetrate deeper into the body. In fact, a really good vibrator will cause the area around it to come alive with vibrations. Sort of like your neighbor's bass causing your dishes to vibrate, and yet you still can't hear the higher parts of the music. Unfortunately, the Jumbo Life Saver did not provide a good, strong vibration.

The Jumbo Life Saver is much more of a novelty toy, suited well for white elephant parties or given as a gag gift. It is not a serious get you off, make your toes curl sex toy. So to answer the $50.00 question, a vibrator is not just a vibrator at the end of the orgasm.
