No Crescendo with this Muse

This little thumper won't push everyone's hot spots. This little guy is for those with average to high sensitivity to vibrations. That, and the user must be open to new shapes. If you want something stronger and more to the point, then this one isn't for you.

Use

Oh Muse... the little bunny that could. I was rooting for you, but I must say you are anything but a muse.

The Muse massager is a clitoral vibe by NS Novelties. It is known for its quirky, bunny head that has a slightly perturbed face on it. The ears are spaced in a way so that it can snuggle and trap the clitoris. The ears can also be used for external stimulation on the nipples, genitals, and P-spot (externally). The Muse is not designed nor intended for internal stimulation, whether vaginal or anal.

With it's resealable charging port, the Muse is waterproof and can be a great option for those who enjoy shower fun or don't have as much privacy. This little bunny does run low on volume too, so he is a more discreet, modern, option for those looking for a clitoral vibe. If you do not have a clit o' steel, then Muse could be an option for you.

The design and purpose of muse makes it a great option for all levels of experience, so long as you are satisfied with its power.

Material / Texture

Muse is made of plastic and silicone. The ears and face of the bunny are coated with silicone. The rest of the toy is made of plastic. Silicone and plastic are both non-porous, so bacteria won't be able to thrive inside the toy. Both materials are also hypoallergenic. Silicone rates a 10 out of 10 on the safety scale and plastic is an 8 (Eden marks a toy with a score of it's lower toy usually).

The base of Muse is solid and has some weight to it. The ears have a level of flexibility, with it being most flexible at the point between the head and ears. If you want firmer pressure, you could pinch the ears together so they are less likely to move about. The overall texture of the Muse is smooth, the silicone is velvety to the touch. For an effortless glide, you can add a bit of water based lubricant.

The texture is suitable for all levels of experience. The packaging for Muse is what really causes the odor. The packaging has a new car/factory smell. Get rid of the packaging and wash Muse and the smell will dissipate.
    • Flexible
    • Light odor
    • Smooth

Design / Shape / Size

The design for Muse is its main selling point. The bunny shape is sure to attract those who are interested in whimsical or artistic toys. Overall, Muse is small, but has a weight to him. He reminds me of those punching dolls that keep bouncing back up. The base of Muse is rounded, letting it rock and wiggle on a flat surface.

The wider base allows for the toy to be held easily. The ears are soft and flexible enough to me manipulated on or around the clitoris with ease. Muse is a normal size for a small clitoral vibe. He's 3.5 inches long. At his widest point he is over 6 inches around. Again, since the Muse is designed for external play, size is less important than it would be for a dildo. Muse is big enough to keep hands from cramping.



Muse is easy to travel with. He's small and can fit in a purse with ease. It's best to cover him to protect him from lint.

Functions / Performance / Controls

Muse's eyes function as his buttons. Both eyes function as the on and off. The eyes allow you to cycle back and forth between settings. To turn muse off, hold either eye/button down for a couple of seconds. There are ten settings for Muse and they are:

1. Low vibration
2. Medium Vibration
3. High Vibration
4. Pulses
5. Two short pulses, one long pulse, repeat
6. Same as 5, but stronger
7. Accelerating rollar coaster
8. Alternates between low and high pulses
9. Accelerating, then decelerating, repeat
10.Similar to 7, but with pulses at the end

There is some contention going on with the strength of muse compared to other clit vibes. I personally think he falls on a solid to high 3 Vrooms. The vibrations range between buzzy and rumbly, depending on the setting. This is a great option for those who have high to average sensitivity. If you are used to toys with more power, Muse may not be for you.

Muse is waterproof and has a resealable charging port in the back. It is hard to initially push the charging port into the toy. You also have to angle it right to make the port fit in easily. Within seconds of removing the charger, the hole reseals. I'm still a bit paranoid about this, but I have submerged my Muse with no noticeable harm. Muse takes 1-2 hours to charge.
    • Multiple settings
    • Rechargeable

Care and Maintenance

Muse is easy to care for. He can be cleaned with toy cleaner, wipes, or soap and water. Having the Muse in black makes lint and particles more apparent, but it's not bad for a silicone coated product. Just take care to pay extra attention around the ears where debris can collect.

When dry, Muse can be stored wherever your general storage is, just make sure to wrap it to protect the silicone from adverse reaction to other materials. Only water based lubes should be used with Muse.
    • Easy to clean
    • Easy to store

Packaging

Muse came in a black box containing a picture of the product. It's not discreet, but it's also tasteful. The packaging is similar to the Bliss Massager. The box can be pulled out of the outside of the packaging to reveal the toy and charger. The details about the toy are on the outside of the package. The packaging is not meant for long term storage (and it smells). This could be a potential gift for those who like whimsical toys and are sensitive.

Experience

So, where does Muse fit in the great clit debate?

My Current ranking on Clitoral toys I own are as follows. In this comparison, I am only considering small, rechargeable, waterproof clitoral vibes that do not have any defined handle (like a wand).

1. Tango
2. Salsa
3. MiMi
4. Bliss
5. bcurious
6. Muse

Overall, for strength and versatility, I think the we-vibes, Salsa and Tango, are the strongest toys from the bunch. MiMi is a better choice if you want silicone and more of a luxurious feel. Bliss is okay but has wonky controls and the resealable port is less secure than magnetic chargers. bcurious has an awkward shape, and while pretty, has more of a learning curve. I think Muse is the weakest of the bunch and added with a less secure charging port, makes it tank lower on this list. Again, it's still a choice for those who work well with 3 Vrooms and want a cute, whimsy toy.
