I have tried a lot of suction style vibrators in my day. I love my Satisfyer Penguin 2nd Gen and my We-Vibe Melt makes me melt into the sheets in post-orgasm bliss. I've learned that, like vibrations, with suction, I enjoy something deep and rumbling.

Knowing what I like, upon first seeing the Kiso, I was worried that the head would be too small. And I was right. When a woman becomes aroused, her clit becomes engorged, and the closer she gets to orgasm, the bigger it can be. Or at least, that's how my body works. When my clit is engorged, it doesn't fit properly into the opening of the Kiso, which was upsetting.

Another thing I noticed when I had the Kiso fresh out of the box is that the buttons don't make much sense to me. I'm used to an up and down button with a single button for patterns. This is not the case with the Kiso, but I'll get to that in the next section.

Using the Kiso seemed easy enough, but I wound up having to use the user manual - which isn't something I usually have to do with new sex toys. The power button is clearly labeled, but then there are two other buttons - one with a heart and the other with a drop. The labels on these buttons aren't clear, and I still have trouble remembering which is which.

The power button turns it on and off, as one would expect. The heart button cycles through the seven functions, and the droplet makes it waterproof so you can clean it. The water droplet button is only used for this. Being used to my various other suction style toys, this always throws me off when I use this one.

Anyway, the seven functions include:

1. Steady
2. Faster
3. Slower
4. Roller Coaster
5. Medium
6: Faster then longer
7: Longer then faster

I still have trouble with the buttons, but I have learned how to use this device in the best way for my body. And really, that is half the experience of using sex toys. This one isn't great for finishing with, as when I get aroused, my clit doesn't fit correctly into the head of it. It is great for using to warm up with or on other areas of the body, such as the nipples.

The stimulation isn't as intense as I would like, but it is strong enough to get me going. It fits nicely in my hand and doesn't cause my hand to cramp up as some toys are known to do. Something I have found about suction toys that I enjoy is that most of them don't cause my hand to go numb, this one is no exception. I just wish the suction was stronger.

The vibrations, well, suction is located within the head of the device. It doesn't travel down through the toy, and it doesn't really make well for many other types of stimulation.

As I said before, this toy isn't really able to get me all the way there. It's great for working up to a stronger toy, but not for a whole session from start to finish.
