It took me a long time to work up to writing this review. I've had the Bcurious for a few years now, and I honestly cannot imagine my sex life without it.

I have always had a hard time reaching orgasm, especially during sex. I discovered early on that in order to maximize orgasms I had to maximize clit stimulation. (While that might seem obvious now, it was a major break-through to the 18 year old me!) Using hands and small vibes that I had acquired, I brought my orgasm rate from "once in a blue moon" to about half the time, and for a long time I was satisfied. At the advice of a friend, I bought the Bcurious, and within a few short months I was achieving a mind-blowing orgasm nearly every encounter I had! I did (and still do) use it solo as well, but it's my sex life that changed the most with this toy. And I never looked back!

The Bcurious is quiet and ultra light-weight. It's super small and discrete, and should come with a small black cloth bag with a drawstring, making traveling with it a breeze. I prefer to hold it myself, but it is shaped in such a way that either party can get a decent grip. The shape is ideal for fitting over the pubic bone, so the toy will press flush against your body at nearly any angle you try to put it at. The vibrations culminate at the tip, where they are most powerful, which makes playing with sensations super fun. It also helps prevent the hand holding it from going numb, which I've had a problem with in some other vibes. I have always found it powerful enough for me, I usually use the medium vibrations, but don't expect it to be a jackhammer. The controls are simple, just two buttons. One controls power, the other settings; it's simple and instinctive. It has several amazing settings, but I usually find myself sticking to the first 3, which are just simple vibrations in ascending order. The pulsations and patterns of the later settings are fun for foreplay buy I find them distracting for during sex. Best of all, it's rechargeable! That feature has saved me the toys worth in batteries over the years, and then some! With somewhat regular use it should be charged ever few weeks. I have found that mine will grow slightly weaker before it dies, but that isn't always noticeable. Having your vibe die out mid-sex is a lighting-fast way to spoil a good time, and since there's no real way of gauging how much battery is left, just try to keep an eye on it. Having had this as long as I have without any problems, I think it's also safe to say that it's a well-built vibrator and won't break down on you. It's a good investment- the Bcurious will be able to stand the test of time!

I have a hard time coming up with bad things to say about this product, but the drawbacks as I see them are as threefold: First, the sound. While you're never going to hear it in the next room, the more powerful setting sound... well, powerful. In the heat of the moment I rarely notice, but in the midst of a silent room the small buzz can seem quite loud.... Second, the crease. The stylish pink line down the side of the toy makes a small divot in it, which can make cleaning a task as it tends to accrue fluids. I use cleansing wipes to clean my toys and have found success with a quick sweep of the toy with my fingernail pressing the wipe into the crease. Not a hassle by any means, just something to keep in mind. Third, and probably most important, the light. There is a small blue light around the buttons, presumably to be able to see what you're doing in the dark. However, I feel that the light is a little too bright for comfort. I usually have sex with the lights on so it's not an issue, but if you have sex in the dark you will quickly notice this little toy lighting up the room!

All in all, my review is a positive one. My biggest concern has always been becoming too dependent on this toy. I think it's a bit too late for that for me though, it has long since been a staple in my collection and will be for the foreseeable future!

I prefer to use this in doggy style or on my stomach, as it keeps my hands free and grants better access to the area in question. The Bcurious is so light-weight that holding it against gravity isn't any trouble at all. I find that it can be difficult in missionary, but it's definitely possible and I will use it in missionary from time to time. I wouldn't really recommend girl-on-top with this, as I find it hard to coordinate, but if you want to try go for it! You cannot use this underwater; I've never risked in the shower either, but it can be rinsed off from time to time without damage.

Keep in mind that the sex positions I prefer with this toy are tailored to my body. If you or your partner has a belly, you might have difficulty reaching this toy comfortably in doggy style, or using it at all during missionary. If you're thinner than I am you might find the various positions easier, or so I would guess.

I have had this clit vibe for right around 3 years at this point, and I still use it fairly frequently. All things considered, this vibe has held up remarkably well. The vibrations are still powerful as ever, and I haven't noticed any change in the rhythm or intensity. It still keeps a charge just fine (more than I can say for most of my electronics), and I've never had a problem with it dying. The pink lining has worn down a bit, but even that is hard to notice. However, the volume of this toy has DEFINITELY increased since I first bought it. It was never overly quiet, but now I no longer feel comfortable using it when other people are in the house because I'm fairly confident that they would be able to hear the unmistakable whirr in the next room. It's disappointing for me, as I used to love this toy for solo use, but c'est la vie, I suppose.

I still would give this toy 5 stars, as this is the only problem that I've ever had with this, and even then it was only after 3 years of consistent use. In those years it saved me a small fortune in batteries, so this little rechargeable wonder was very much worth the investment.
