The PicoBong Ako is a wonderful little vibrator. Its got a lovely shape, and it is pretty and appealing. I would mostly recommend it for clitoral use. You can only insert it up to about 3", so it may not satisfy you for insertion, and this toy should definitely not be used for anal play. Outside stimulation would be great, just use with care. The Ako is great also for stimulation on the breasts, nipples, thighs, and also other "happy" areas of your body.

You can use this toy alone or with a partner. I've found that it works lovely with other vibrators or dildos, and it is very easy to hold onto because of its unique design. I absolutely love the way it looks and feels, and not to mention, the way that it performs! This has become one of my favorite mini vibrators that I own!

The PicoBong Ako is made of a great, high quality silicone that is very easy to clean, and very safe to use. It may produce a very light smell, but it's not a bad smell -- like clean rubber, but only when put right under your nose. The silicone has a silky, velvety texture, and the plastic that covers the handle is smooth. The handle is also ribbed, which makes it very easy to hold and maneuver. It is very easy to clean. The toy is waterproof, so you can submerge it in water. All you need is toy cleaner, or plain old soap and water to make it squeaky clean.

It glides very easily, and works wonderfully with lube. I personally use water-based lubricant, because it does not react with any material and provides a very slippery experience!

I thought the chubby, cute design of the Ako was great. It really benefits during use, because it fits easily in the hand. The tapered tip is great for a particular area of stimulation, which is why it's great for sensory play. Its exact measurements:

Total length: 4.75”
Insert length: 3.25”
Handle length: 1.5”
Circumference: 4.5”
Diameter: 1.4"

Because it can only be inserted up to about 3", it will mainly be used for clitoral stimulation and outer play. I loved the width of the Ako. because you can pleasure a larger area by laying it on its side.

One thing I dislike about the PicoBong Ako is the fact that its controls (3 push buttons) are located on the side of the toy. There is an "M" for mode, and a "+" for power and a "-" to power down. You can't really feel them if inserted, but you also can't change functions. Other than that, this amazing little vibe has wonderful functions and a wide variety of settings. They are all different, and they will not cease to amaze you! It has 12 different functions, and you use the "M" button to cycle through:

1-slow pulses-light and easy
2-fast pulses-loud but still enjoyable
3-faster pulses-strong and lovely
4-even faster pulses-my personal favorite
5-fastest pulses-a little too strong for my taste
6-cycle through all settings-a wonderful display of variety
7-faster cycling-if the first one is too slow
8-steady vibration while cycling-impressive
9-same as 7, but faster; 1 cycle per second
10-same as 7, but with 2 full power pulses-another favorite
11-same as 7, but with 4 full power pulses
12-cycling through power levels at a random speed

It also has 7 different power settings that you control with the "+" or "-" buttons:

1 – Lowest setting Less than a vroom, not quite a 0.5, 1 bee
2 – Low – 0.5 vrooms, 1 bee
3 – High Low – 1 vroom, 1 bee
4 – Medium – 1.5 vrooms, 1.5 bees
5 – High Medium – 2 vrooms, 1.5 bees
6 – Low High – 2.5 vrooms, 2 bees
7 – High – 3.5 vrooms, 2 bees

I love the variety of all the settings, but I am also an experienced user. For beginners, this may be overwhelming, but I would still recommend it to absolutely anyone!

Because it is made of silicone and plastic, it is very easy to clean and care for. It doesn't take much to clean, just soap and water, or toy cleaner, like I said before. It is very easy to store because of its size, and it is not sticky, so dirt and dust won't stick to it - although it should still be washed before and after every use. The Ako takes 2 AAA batteries.

The packaging is minimal and sleek. The boxes are colored to match the toy.

My experience with the Ako was wonderful! I love using this toy, and it never fails to get me going. Other than placement of the buttons, I really don't have many complaints about it at all. It is powerful and quiet, and the settings are amazing! Completely waterproof, so it's great for water play. Definitely a great buy and well worth the money. You won't be disappointed!
