Smooth Around the Edges!

I think the Ako would be a good choice for women who are just starting to use sex toys, and also to seasoned sex toy users who are looking for something inexpensive to incorporate into their foreplay. It fits nicely in one's hand, it doesn't make alot of noise, and it has direct vibrations that don't feel all buzzy. The Ako has a wide range of vibration levels, multiple vibration functions, and it will effectively and sensually enhance your foreplay activities.

Use

The PicoBong Ako is contoured for external arousal and a simpler approach to female masturbation. The ergonomic design fits perfectly inside your hand, and is contoured for clit and labia stimulation. I found it most useful during solo masturbation, and the multiple vibration settings also make it fun during foreplay to tease external areas on the body, including the vaginal opening and the nipples. This is a medium-grade vibrator for a great price, and despite the fact that it is a simple bullet vibrator, I find it to be a vibrator that some experienced women and all first time toy users will both appreciate for its simplicity and sensual vibrations. The best part about the Ako is that it's waterproof. Playing with this vibrator in the bathtub or shower is easy, fun, and erotic.

Material / Texture

The Ako is made of a silky smooth, velvety, silicone material. Silicone is a very safe material that is non porous, hypo-allergenic, and free of phathalates. The silicone is tasteless and odorless, and overall a high quality material that is great for both beginners and advanced users alike. There's no undesirable friction feeling created, and the material slides nicely against the skin, creating a more gentle stimulation experience. The Ako has no texture for added stimulation, aside from the buttons on one side of the vibrator and the PicoBong label on the other, that are not even noticeable during use.

    • No odor
    • Not porous at all
    • Smooth

Design / Shape / Size

The Ako is a simple, yet ergonomically curved bullet vibrator. The slightly curved shape of the entire bullet makes it very comfortable and easy on the hands during use. The head of this sex toy is fairly unique and somewhere in between being rounded and tapered, which aids in vibration delivery and sensual clitoral and labia stimulation. The shape of the head allows this vibrator to provide both broad and pinpoint vibrations depending on how you hold the vibrator.

The total length of the vibrator is 4 1/2 inches long with 1 1/2 of those inches being the plastic base that is removable for inserting the batteries. The head of the vibrator is 4 inches in circumference, and the area closest to the base where the buttons are located is 4 1/2 inches in circumference. Overall, the small size of the Ako is great for traveling and using with a partner without being in the way.




Functions / Performance / Controls

The Ako is a multi-speed vibrator that requites 2 AAA batteries, and is controlled by 3 easy to use buttons. The vibrations resonate through this sex toy's velvety plastic exterior, and the motor vibrates very quietly so you can keep your bedroom activities discreet. The Ako is a sensual vibrator, so don't expect any off the charts vibrations. There is a lot of range in power from the lowest vibration level to the highest vibration level, and on the highest of the settings I found the vibrations to be decent and a lot more powerful than expected. In my opinion, the quality of the vibrations are very good. The vibrations are on the deep and rumbly side, and good for applying pressure during use. I love that it is powerful enough for most, yet it still has a range of lower vibrations that are more on the subtle side. The vibrations on the Ako may not work for all women, and if you're a seasoned sex toy user you will most likely find this vibrator to work better during foreplay as a warm-up vibrator. And even if you're into sensual arousal over powerful vibrations, this will also work for you.




The buttons are located along the side of the vibrator, closer to the base of the toy. There are three buttons: +,M,-. The + and - button turns the toy on and off, and adjusts the 8 different power levels of the vibrations. The M button is going to take you through the 12 different vibration patterns.

Vibration Patterns:

1. Steady vibration
2. High to low pulsating vibration
3. Throbbing vibration
4. Quick, pulsating vibrations
5. Faster pulsation vibrations
6. Low to high escalating vibrations
7. Low to high escalating vibrations that are more drawn out
8. Very long and drawn out low to high, escalating vibrations
9. A lot like function 7. Low to high escalating vibrations
10. 2 throbs, followed by 1 vibration that goes from high to low
11. 4 throbs, followed by 1 vibrations that goes from high to low
12. Random low, medium, and high vibrations. (a lot of fun and my favorite)
    • Discreet sound
    • Easy to use
    • Lots of variety in function

Care and Maintenance

Like all waterproof toys, the to Ako is just as easy and different to clean as any other waterproof toy. Simply was the Ako in warm water, with a mild soap or a toy cleaner of your choice. Then, I usually just let mine air dry, but since this material doesn't collect much lint (if any), you could also just dry it off with a towel. Since the Ako is made out of a silicone material, it's best to stick with water-based lubricants. Silicone lubricants are known to ruin most silicone products.

Packaging

The Ako is housed in a cardboard box that has some, yet little, information about the toy. There's really not too much you need to know about this toy, but there is a users manual included that should answer a few questions you may have about your toy. The front of the box also has a clear, plastic front, so it's not very discreet since you're able to see the toy. I wouldn't say this is a great packaging for storing, I would recommend storing it in a pouch or somewhere safe with the rest of your toy collection. Overall, the packaging of the Ako is very simple.

One added feature that is included with your Ako, is a PicoBong key-chain type of thing that you can connect to the base of your toy. I'm not really sure what the point of this is, and I don't keep this on mine, but I did add a picture to show you how it goes on there. I guess it's a cool feature, but I would have rather them added some kind of small storage pouch instead.

    • Minimal
    • Not discreet
    • Recyclable

Experience

I enjoyed using the Ako. I think it's cute and easy to handle. I enjoy both playing with it alone and with my guy. When using it alongside my guy, I like to use the Ako to stimulate his testicles and perineum. When using it alone, I like to use this vibrator for clitoral and labia stimulation. Though it is not a toy for insertion, I find it to be equipped for limited vaginal insertion. At times I could use some more intense vibrations, but since it's so good at a clit and labia massage, I'm actually glad I purchased it.

    My wife and I are looking over the site for the first time and just ordered a few things for her for our coming 2 year anniversary. (She wasn't allow to know what) But we are looking at other items to get here soon as well. The Ako caught her eye and when we were reading the reviews this one actually seemed to give a bit of good information.

    Good to know it is good for beginners as we are really at that level with exploring deeper in the spices of life so thank you for the good helpful review.
