Being new to the world of male sex toys, the Cobra Libre by Fun Factory was the first thing to catch my eye. It has a sleek masculine design, and it is fairly discreet. In my experience, I have left it on my bookshelf and dresser and whenever friends come over they rarely notice it or compliment the "Cool Tron car."

To use the Cobra Libre you must have a fairly hard erection. A ‘half-chub’ or flaccid penis will not work, but don't worry, as soon as you turn this bad boy on, you will definitely be in the mood. Now there are two different ways to use good ol' Cobra: right side up (with the touch controls facing the ceiling) or upside down (touch controls facing you). The way the Cobra Libre was designed using it right side up, positions the two powerful motors to stimulate the glans or the head of the penis. However, by turning it upside down, I found that not only did it stimulate the glans, but the since the motor was now directly on my frenulum I was able to get additional stimulation.

Also, this toy is perfect for couples! The deep vibrations run throughout the toy and ladies or gents, while your man is getting the ride of his life, you too can hop on! Women will get a lot of clitoral stimulation by lying on top of the Cobra Libre while doing other things like kissing. And gentlemen, you can also straddle your man and have the Cobra Libre massage your perineum or scrotum.

The silicone on the sleeve portion is very soft and squishy but has a lot of drag to it, so lube is a must. Also because the toy has silicone, you must use water-based lube only. The silicone sleeve is stretchy, however men with exceptionally thick penis might find the product uncomfortable because there is a raised bump within the sleeve to tighten the fit. The rest of the Cobra Libre is made of a hard plastic that is has a sort of texture on the sides and is smooth on the touch control panel — which I thought was a very nice touch.

The Cobra Libre is a well-made product. A lot of attention went into it, and clearly, the people who designed it knew how to make a man orgasm. The Cobra has got some weight to it, which I thought was excellent because it made my experience hands free! Like I said before, men with exceptionally girthy penises might find this toy too tight because inside the sleeve, is a raised bump to increase the tightness. Also, the sleeve is only about two and a half inches deep so those looking for whole penile stimulation should look elsewhere. It has a very ergonomic feel, so if need be, you can hold the Cobra Libre in place comfortably.

The Cobra Libre is perfect for traveling because of its small size. It is fairly small, about the size of a PlayStation controller. Or for those not too gaming savvy, it's about the same length as a standard deodorant stick and about two inches tall. It's got a little weight to it, about a pound so it's comfortable, portable and won't weigh you down. Because of the Cobra's sleek masculine design you can put it in your gym bag or backpack and not have to worry about people suspecting it's a sex toy, unless they actually start touching it and figure it out. (But by then you can convince them to play with you). I don't know about airplane regulations but if airport security asks you what it is, you can claim it as a personal massager.

Now one flaw that I came across when using the Cobra Libre was the touch controls. As cool as they were, I kind of wish that Fun Factory had put a locking mechanism on it. I would accidentally turn it off or change the vibration patterns and it really put some speed bumps in my session. Another flaw that I came across was charging it. Fun Factory uses a magnetic charging clip that charges their toys, but from what I read and in my experience, the charging is hit or miss. One little movement and your toys are no longer charging. For the first use of my Cobra Libre, the directions said to fully charge the toy so I set the charger and walked away, a few minutes later I saw that the light was off and it was not charging. After adjusting the magnets I stepped back and in a few seconds the magnet had shifted ever so slightly to where it was not charging. The best way I found to charge the Cobra Libre was to stand it up, this way the charging clip would not slide so easily. Simple solution, but a pain in my ass.

Now you're all probably wondering about the vibration levels, and don't worry, they're good. On it's lowest setting the vibrations are a slow pleasant rumble, but as you go up in levels, the vibrations become a very fast and powerful buzzing. The motors are very strong and if used long enough, can even make your hand and penis go tingly and eventually numb which isn't really a bad thing! In addition to the adjustable vibration settings, once you reach the maximum level, a simple touch of the finger sends the Cobra Libre into pattern mode. What's cool about this toy is that the vibration patterns even sound like a car! There was one mode that sounded and felt like an idle engine, and another that felt like you were accelerating and shifting gears! Such a manly product!

The battery life on the Cobra Libre, in my experience has been very good. I've only had it for a week and I have only charged it the one time and it has lasted me four full sessions. The vibrations were consistently strong in my last session as they were in my first.

The Cobra Libre is a very powerful and unique male sex toy and I agree with the 4 vrooms rating. It's not as strong as a Hitachi Wand but it sure does get the job done. I will have to disagree with the 3 vrooms rating. I turned it on to the highest setting and set it on my bed and walked out the room and closed the door. You could only hear it if it was dead silent and your ear was pressed up against the door. Just my opinion, but I would rate the Cobra Libre as 2 bees for sound.

Because of Fun Factory's magnetic charging system, the Cobra Libre is waterproof for cleaning but is NOT recommended for use when submerged. The silicone is very easy to clean, some warm running water and mild soap will get this bad boy sparkling clean and the plastic portion be cleaned the same way. I noticed that the silicone is a dust and lint magnet so to keep your Cobra Libre extra clean; you can keep it in the original packaging or a Ziploc bag.
