PicoBong's Ako is a top-notch external vibrator. I prefer to use it on my clitoris, which feels fantastic, but it's extremely versatile. It can be used literally anywhere on the body that you wish to stimulate with vibrations. Its curve makes it contour pretty well to my shoulder, allowing me to use it as a shoulder and neck massager. I've used it solo and with a partner. It is possible to insert the Ako, but I prefer not to. Any way you use the toy, it is guaranteed to feel great!

The Ako is made from the softest, most velvety silicone I have ever felt. It's slick and untextured, while simultaneously having some drag. It picks up no lint, dirt, or hair, unlike many other silicone toys. There is zero smell or taste.

The battery cap, which makes up about 1/3 of the toy, is hard plastic with ridges.

The PicoBong logo is etched into one side of the toy. I can feel it with my fingers, but it has never been noticeable during use.

If you choose to use lube with this toy, remember not to use anything silicone-based. Anything else will do just fine.

The design of this toy is ultra cute. I have the blue one, which I love (although my girlfriend says it looks more teal than blue). While it's soft to the touch, the toy itself is very rigid. I like this quality of the toy, because I think it makes it very easy to control. The toy has a slight curve to it, and there's a rounded point at the top with a little ridge underneath it.

The Ako is 4.75 inches long, and you can insert 3.25 inches. It's 4.25 inches around, and weighs about a third of a pound (pretty light). I think it is the perfect size for clitoral stimulation and neck/shoulder massages. I don't enjoy inserting the toy vaginally because it's so small that I don't really get anything from it. If a toy can't reach my g-spot, I'm not interested! However, that doesn't bother me at all about this toy, because I bought it to use as a clitoral vibrator and it functions phenomenally as one.

I have not traveled with this toy, but I imagine that its size would make it very easy to pack away. Just remember to take out the batteries, first! You wouldn't want it to start buzzing in transit!

Even though it's not phallic shaped, this toy is pretty easily identifiable as a sex toy. A child or an especially naive adult may think that it's "just" a massager, but I'm sure most people would be able to tell what it really is - an adorably compact orgasm machine!

Just when I thought this toy couldn't get any better, I discovered that it's waterproof, has 12 different vibrations and 7 levels of intensity, and is reasonably quiet. Wow!
For such a small toy, it carries a surprising amount of power. The vibration levels range from a very low rumble (which you cannot hear unless you put the toy right up to your ear) to a very high, intense buzz (which makes a bit of noise, but could probably not be heard through a closed door).

There are 3 raised control buttons that are just as soft as the rest of the toy, but easy to feel and to access. If you're right handed (or just holding the Ako with your right hand), you'll find that the buttons are very close to where your thumb rests when you hold the toy. Very convenient!
To turn the toy on, you hold down the (+) button. To turn it off, you hold down the (-). To switch settings, you press "M", which is located in the middle of the (+) and (-) buttons (which are also used to increase and decrease the intensity of the toy's vibrations).

Since the Ako is waterproof, I can't wait to take it in the shower with me! I don't even like taking toys in the shower, but I love this one so much and have such faith that it will hold up in the water that I don't think I can resist!

This toy requires two AAA batteries. I have used the Ako at least once a week for the last two and a half months (for around 20-30 minutes each time) and the battery power has lasted just fine.

Even though this toy's material (silicone) is safe and nonporous, it's still a very good idea to clean it after each use, like with all toys! I wouldn't recommend boiling it, since it is battery operated. I usually wash mine with the toy cleaner that came with it, but you can also use mild soap and warm water.

I store this toy separate from any other toys because I love it so much and I don't want anything to happen to it. It's not something I want to just toss into my toybox (although it would probably be fine). I'm keeping it in a little plastic drawstring pouch that something else came in.

After the very first time I used the Ako, I knew it would become my new go-to vibrator. I adore it! I keep it right next to my bed at all times for easy access. I highly recommend it!

I pulled out the Ako to use with my partner for the first time recently. It was very hot! We took turns using it on each other, and at one point we positioned ourselves with the toy between us, touching both of our sweet spots. It left our hands free to wander, caress, and grab while we were grinding on each other and on the toy. It was sensual, intimate, and very sexy! We didn't orgasm this way because it was difficult to maintain the perfect position for the toy to hit us both in the right places, but I think it's something that we'd both like to try again.
