Pirates are enjoying a boost in popularity lately it seems, from porn to movie inspired sex toys. I’m a big fan of pirates wherever they show up, so I was excited to try out Katsuni’s Revenge of the Sea rabbit vibrator from Digital Playground.

This vibrator comes in a clear box with a large plastic photo background behind. The “Pirates” logo background and a picture of a sword-wielding Katsuni showcase the Revenge, while the back has some product information and pictures of other Pirates toys. The box contains the vibrator and a black satin drawstring storage bag (lined in pink).

The Revenge is not your typical looking rabbit. It’s a deep, smoky grey and resembles a curved dagger. This isn’t a small toy – it’s almost 10” tall (with 5” insertable) and has a generous 1 5/8” diameter. The whole vibrator is squishy and a bit tacky, with just a little flexibility in the curved g-spot tip and the clitoral stimulator.

The shaft is divided into three sections. The top section is about 2 1/2" long along the back curve. It has stylized raised ocean designs on the sides, and a decorative row of nubs in a ring at the top and the bottom.

The center section is about 1 1/2" long. This section is unpatterned except for the nubs at the very top and bottom that encircle it, and through the TPE you can see the four rows of red beads.

The bottom section is 2 1/2" long and has lovely raised detailing of a skull and chains on each side. This section is also where the clitoral stimulator is connected.

The stimulator is one of the most unusual I’ve ever seen. It resembles an octopus or squid (or even Cthulhu rising from the deep) reaching out to attack your clitoris and labia. It is 4” long from the tentacles to the shaft and about 1 3/4" wide. The two center tentacles are the longest, protruding 1 3/4" out from the creature’s face. To each side are 1 1/8” tentacles, while the other two pairs are much shorter. The creature has two wide staring eyes on its head with a bullet nestled inside. The base of the creature is flexible so it can be positioned to hit where you need it.

The black base is 3 1/2" long with a double row of red crystals around the top and red symbols on the sides. The bottom cap unscrews to access the battery compartment. The Revenge takes 4 AAA batteries, which are inserted into the removable battery holder. The holder only goes in one way and fits into the guide channels inside the base. There is an O-ring between the base and the cap, but the Revenge, for all of the pirate and sea-themed detailing, is only splash proof and not waterproof. This is one vibrator that isn’t seaworthy and should only be used on dry land.

The vibration and rotation are controlled by a three buttons set in a circle on the front of the base. The center button turns the Revenge on and off. When on all three buttons are lit by a soft blue-green glow. Both the shaft and the clitoral piece turn on together – there isn’t a way to shut one or the other off.

The right button controls the vibration of the Revenge. The shaft has five rotation speeds/patterns:
- slow rotation
- medium rotation
- fast rotation
- rotation that oscillates between medium and fast speeds
- faster, pulsing rotation

The left button controls the vibrations of the clitoral stimulator. This has seven patterns:
- low steady vibration
- medium steady vibration
- high steady vibration
- revving from low to high
- pulse pattern
- 2 short pulses followed by 1 long pulse
- super fast pulses

The shaft rotation is fairly good, and you can really feel the different patterns. The sea creature, however, is weaker than you might expect. Its buzzy vibrations travel well through the material and tentacles, but are never more than moderate. Even on the highest settings, the Revenge is surprisingly quiet.

Since the Revenge is made of TPE it has no scent or taste. It’s also phthalates free and hypoallergenic. TPE is somewhat porous, so you should use a condom if sharing this toy. It can be cleaned with warm water and antibacterial soap and patted dry. Storing the Revenge is easy – just use the included bag. As with all TPE toys, both silicone and water-based lubricants are safe to use.

I love the look of this vibrator. The coloring and design are unique, and what’s not to love about a sea creature to stimulate your clit? I was surprised, though, that something having to do with pirates, and indeed called Revenge of the Sea, wasn’t waterproof.

Having the backlit buttons was great when using this in the dark. The buttons were easy to find and press during use.

I liked the shaft rotation on this toy more than I expected. While it isn’t the strongest I’ve used, the additional patterns can be felt, in part because of the thickness of the shaft. The G-spot tip was firm enough to hit right where I needed and was a big plus on this toy.

What surprised me was the weakness of the clitoral stimulator. I really expected the sea creature to vibrate me to orgasm while I enjoyed the internal stimulation, but the vibrations were not nearly strong enough. I did like how the tentacles vibrated the outer areas when positioned, but the bullet didn’t have enough power to get me off.

Overall, this isn’t a bad toy. The g-spot tip and shaft rotation help make up for the lack of strength of the bullet although not enough for me. You'll enjoy this more if you like less powerful clitoral stimulation.
