...The Hummer was one of the first sex toys I saw when I began purchasing toys online. Even though I read all the reviews, it's still taken me almost two years to finally give this toy a try. I was more than happy with some of my other clit vibes, so to my way of thinking; “If it ain't broke, then why fix it?”

I have to say now though, I think I've been missing out. Although there isn't any danger of it necessarily dethroning one of my personal favorites, there is also no danger of the Hummer slipping to the bottom of the toy box, either.

It really does create a very unique type of sensation. Instead of the high-frequency, buzzy type vibrator, this is a quiet yet strong, thump-like vibration. If I turn the Hummer on and rest the tip of it on the surface of a tabletop, instead of the rapid, “tat-tat-tat-tat!!!” chattering you would get with most vibrators or bullets, it will actually bounce up and down with about a two inch clearance between the tip and the wood.

Um, yeah. Let's just say that rose an eyebrow.

I started out with the toy in the shower as I wanted to test out the so-called waterproof aspect that it claims to have. I made sure I had the end screwed on tight, and I took care not to submerge it or put it directly underneath the spray, but there was still a little bit of moisture in the battery compartment when I popped the AAs out. So I don't think I will be taking it into the shower again. I might consider trying a bathtub next time, but only because I think I can keep that end of the toy out of the water altogether. We'll see.

I didn't actually achieve orgasm while in the shower, but the Hummer tagged along with me to the bedroom after I dried off, where I then laid down and proceeded to experiment a little with it. I came twice in less than ten minutes. The orgasms weren't extreme like they are with a Golden Nugget or a Hitachi, but deep and lingering and worth the price of admission. And since I'm an absolute power queen when it comes to my vibrators, that's the highest compliment I can give a toy.

I like the shape of the Hummer, and the way it feels in your hand. I really was expecting just another type of cheap, hard plastic vibrator but that's not the way it feels or performs. The scope doesn't really do anything for me but the pointed nub is a lot of fun. I would actually be curious about whether or not a textured sleeve would work with something like this as I usually prefer texture over smoothness. Something else I will have to see about.

But yeah… I enjoyed myself with this toy and I'm looking forward to playing with it some more over the coming weeks. I understand now why it's become a staple of most toy boxes, regardless of how many other toys share the space. I'm glad that I finally took the chance on buying it, and it doesn't look like I'm going to regret it anytime soon.
