I will be the first to admit, I did not take this toy seriously at all when I first saw it. The body of the vibrator itself is hot pink with glitter, the bulb is also hot pink and covered with hearts, and the release valve for the pump is also pink and shaped like a heart. Plus, it’s called the Advanced Clitoral Pump|Advanced clitoral pump. I did not have high hopes for this one.

I was pleasantly surprised!

Upon further examination of the glitter-filled shaft, I noticed the toy is of fairly heavy plastic and seems well constructed. Unlike many suction-based pussy vibrators, there is not a separate battery pack with a cord--the 2 AAA batteries fit right into the handle of the shaft, so the only cord you have to deal with is the one from the pump. Nice touch! (Said pump cord is about 15” long.) The handle of the shaft flexes in the neck so you do not have to be as concerned with putting pressure on it, and has a single button that controls the 3 vibrator speeds, which range from a gentle vibration to a pretty intense stimulation. Again, I was surprised at the power of the vibrator--things were definitely looking better!

I had assumed the part of the toy that fit over your clitoris was jelly, but it is TPR Silicone. This still is porous and cannot be sterilized, so I do not recommend sharing this toy, but it is phthalates free. Also, if you use lube, which I did not find it needed and might affect the suction, use water-based lubes only. It also comes with two interchangeable sleeves for the suction--one fairly smooth with a single raised nub, and the other lined with ticklers. I, of course, decided to try the one with ticklers.

The trick to this toy is in its title--it is a clitoral pump, and really only works when fastened firmly over the clitoris itself; it does not hook well onto the labia at all. You need to really get in there with this one, ladies! However, when you fasten it onto your clitoris and pump the suction up, the feeling can really get quite intense; once I added the vibrations, the ticklers were enough to send me over the edge quite quickly and strongly!

It can be somewhat tricky getting the pump to take hold and stay in place at first--you need to really press the lips of the sleeve firmly against your flesh in order to get it to take hold. The suction seems nonexistent until you finally DO get it to start working; then you can pump this thing up very firmly!

All I can say is do not judge this toy by its appearance or name; it is a surprisingly powerful and effective clitoral stimulator that can create amazing orgasms when used properly!
