This toy essentially won me over based on its design. I have a weak spot when it comes to anything nautical, so the octopus/kraken clit stimulator became a slight obsession for me and I basically HAD to purchase this vibe.

Aesthetically, it's very appealing in person, much like it is on the site. So that's a plus, most definitely. When turned on, the toy LOOKS like it will feel awesome. The insertable portion is quite thick, so it's a bit intimidating. However, it seems to rotate in nice wide circles.

And then came play time...

Shockingly (as I read in another review) there is almost no sensation what-so-ever provided from the rotating shaft. I have no idea why... maybe the girth plus curve of the tip gave the toy some fatal flaw that made it absolutely boring. I literally could not feel the rotation. Also, the material over the beads is thick to the point that I couldn't feel them either. So that was a total loss.

The tentacles of the clitoral stimulator are decent. They provide moderate vibrations, which, in my opinion, are more suited for arousal or teasing rather than the "big o".

The shaft rotation and clitoral stimulator MUST be on at the same time. You cannot have one operating without the other. That didn't bother me, personally, but it is something to keep in mind. The size of this toy is probably better for advanced users, or those that are more adventurous. The length of the clitoral stimulator makes it suitable for most anatomies, in that aspect, as it will reach clits near and far.

Overall, this is a nice looking toy. If it goes on sale and you're enamored by the design...sure, give it a try. It's interesting to have in a collection, I suppose. The controls are simple and it seems to be solid in its construction. But if you're looking for a go-to, knock-you-off-your-socks vibe...look elsewhere.
