The PicoBong Ako by Lelo is a fun, travel sized vibrator. Loaded with vibration patterns, this is a fun, gentle, pleasing vibrator that is discreet and fun for solo or partner play. While it is a bit too small for satisfying penetration, the external areas it will stimulate will definitely satisfy, both men and women.

Ako is fun for clitoral stimulation, sensory teasing, testicle and penis shaft vibrations, massages, and is a great companion on car rides. Tease your partner by discreetly using this on long car rides--see how many back roads you find along the way!

This does fit nicely in your underwear, however there is a bit of noise and you will need to wear a skirt. You cannot turn this off or change patterns very easily. The benefits outweigh the cons, though, when your partner realizes you are having a fun time all your own--he will definitely want to share the experience!! I use this for teasing on trips and letting him know it is time to stop and 'stretch our legs'. (Big old wink!!)

The base is ABS plastic. The vibrator shaft is silicone, which is body safe and rates a 10 on the safety scale. Silicone is antibacterial, hypoallergenic and is also waterproof. This vibrator is safe to share with proper cleanings in between users.

The velvety softness of the Ako has little drag, but the feeling of it on your skin is addicting. I love how velvety, smooth and sleek it feels running over my skin, add a dab of lube and it is very amazing feeling against my clitoris. The texture of this luxurious silicone definitely adds to my experiences and is very stimulating.

There is no odor or taste to the Ako. This is a great texture and size for everyone. Beginning users can get used to a vibrator and its basic external uses, intermediate users will enjoy the velvety texture and addition to their collection and advanced users will enjoy the multiple uses and discretion of the Ako.

At 4 3/4" long, 1 1/2" diameter at the widest area by the base, the Ako is a small, compact and reasonably discreet vibrator. The tip is shaped in a rounded ridge with a slight curve and tapers down to a flattened area in the front. This fits perfectly between the labia, targets the soft area under the head of the penis and fits nicely over the clitoris.

I love the smaller size, the shape works very well with my external anatomy and the little bit of penetration feels equally pleasant. I can only insert this small vibrator about 3", so G-spot targeting is out. The vibration patterns are very strong and the noise level is reasonably quiet.

This does make a nice shower vibe, however I do not encourage submersing this in water fully. I do not trust the rubber o-ring at the base to keep all water out of the battery compartment.

Remove the base with a gentle quarter turn, insert 2 AAA batteries and replace the base. Your Ako is now ready to rumble!! To turn the vibrations on, press the + button. There are 7 levels of power for the steady vibrations which are accessed with the + button. To turn the vibration level down, press the - button. Press this continually to turn the vibrator completely off.

The M button in the middle will switch patterns. There are 12 patterns of vibration. These are:
1.Pulsing - 2.Faster pulses - 3.Very fast pulses - 4.Hyper speed pulsing - 5.Warp speed pulsing - 6.Slow escalating through all patterns - 7.Medium escalating through all patterns - 8.Constant rumble and cycle through patterns - 9.Fast cycling through all patterns - 10.Fast cycling with 2 pulses - 11.Fast cycling with 4 pulses - 12.Slow cycling through patterns.

The vibrations are pretty powerful, the noise level is very low and this is a well made vibrator by Lelo. I actually found this is a more powerful vibrator than some of the higher end ones produced by Lelo. The silicone and lack of loud noise is still indicative of the same high quality, however.

Wash thoroughly in warm, soapy water and rinse thoroughly. Let this air dry to minimize the lint pick up that happens with silicone. This silicone does not tend to grab as much lint as other silicones, however. I do go back over this with a toy cleaner that is formulated to sanitize.

Store the Ako in either the original box, a toy pouch or other suitable container. This cannot be stored with other items, the silicone may react to other materials and break down. If this happens, it is unsafe for further use and must be discarded. Silicone will also pick up colors from other toys and will discolor horribly, also making it unsafe for further use.

Use only water based lube for your personal safety and the safety of the silicone material. Chemical reactions will break down the material.
