I bought my wife this cool looking little vibe as a present a while back. She has always liked clit vibrations--in moderation, we've not yet tried something like the Magic Wand--and we have a tendency to wear them out. Of course we've always bought cheap vibes, like $15 or less, so I figured the Layaspot would be a bit more of an investment for us. Certainly I expected we'd enjoy it longer than we did.

One of the things that was so attractive about the Layaspot|LAYAspot review was that it's supposed to be waterproof. We love taking a good vibe into the hot tub with us, but it seems like powerful vibes can't be waterproof and vice versa. It was still cold weather when we first got it, so we used it for a couple of months in the bedroom before we took it to the backyard. In the bed, it's a great vibe. It's strong enough without being too strong. It's not too noisy, though it would have been nicer had it been a little quieter (we still had to turn the TV up a bit to cover the noise).

It also has a really nifty feature that we didn't think would be so nifty until we used it. It has a bunch of different vibration speeds and modes, which seemed to be thoughtfully arranged in an increasing order of heightening leading to climax. Lara would usually come just a few seconds after we made it to the first good pulse setting, which Lara nicknamed the "jackhammer". Couple it with a good dildo and you've got a recipe for a dozen or so orgasms and a really contented woman.

The Layaspot's downfall is that it is so totally NOT waterproof. We took it into the hottub once, and it was fantastic, but 3 or 4 days later it was totally whacked out. I took the batteries out to replace them and there was a bunch of water in the battery chamber. A few days later it wouldn't work at all.

So if you want a good bedroom vibe, the Layaspot is great. But if you want a waterproof vibe, this isn't the vibe for you. And if you find a really good strong vibe that IS waterproof, let me know - until then we'll just keep wearing out the cheap ones.
