The Penetrating Mini Clitoral Pump|Clitoral pumps: Penetrating mini clitoral pump is a toy with a great concept that fails to live up to its potential. I was greatly looking forward to receiving this toy, but was sorely disappointed once I gave it a try.

The suction portion of the toy is satisfactory, but I think it works best on a shaved pubic area. The bulb allowed me to attach the toy firmly, or to create a nice sucking motion if I held it in place with my hand.

Where this toy falls seriously short, though, is in the clitoral stimulator. The penetrating function is an EXCELLENT idea, allowing you to place as much or as little pressure on your clit as you prefer. It is also covered with tiny nubs that add some extra stimulation. Unfortunately, the lever that moves the clit stimulator up and down can stick firmly at times, especially at the beginning, and make it very difficult to adjust the degree of penetration.

Once in place, however, the clitoral stimulator still failed to arouse me. The Penetrating Mini Clitoral Pump runs on 2 AAA batteries, which don’t provide nearly enough power to the motor, even though it’s located directly in the clitoral stimulator. I was left basically with this toy clinging to my labia and fluttering feebly, even at its highest setting. The vibration wasn’t nearly enough to get me off, and even the sucking motion couldn’t drive me over the edge.

Though the clitoral stimulator can be extremely difficult to adjust, the vibration is controlled by a simple dial on the base of the toy. The toy is multi-speed, but the lower speeds were pretty much useless for me, since the top speed even failed to get the job done. The toy is also surprisingly loud for something so small and with so little power. I think the motor causes the plastic casing to vibrate, making it noisier than it might normally be.

This is one of the few toys I own that has never managed to get me off. It sounds ideal in theory--vibrations, suction, and adjustable direct pressure on the clit (without having to use your hands to create it). Just too bad the vibrations in this one aren't worth a damn. This toy is great for frustrating yourself, but that's about it.
