My boyfriend and I had been looking for a decent back massager for quite some time. We'd looked in the local stores - Target, Bed, Bath & Beyond, etc., but no one ever had anything like we were looking for. We wanted something small, that could be held in one hand easily (we both have small hands), and that would really be able to give a good back massage without too much effort of the person giving the massage.

While I was browsing the site one day, I stumbled across this little guy. He's pretty cheap at $9.99, and I had some remaining credit in my account, so I thought I'd give it a try! I really didn't think that it was going to be too great, being made of plastic, and in the shape of an octopus. I thought it was more of a joke toy, but I was really surprised when I opened the box, and found out just how durable and absolutely WONDERFUL this thing is! I quickly went to work using it on my boyfriend's back. He immediately told me how much he loved this thing and how great it felt on his back. Usually when I'm giving him a back massage with my hands, my hands get really sore and tired after not too much time at all. With the Octo-Pleaser, I don't have that problem at all. Gripping the octopus's head is very easy and comfortable. The tentacles do a really great job at gliding themselves over the back, making my part in the whole back massage really easy! I literally could massage my boyfriend's back for an hour straight using this thing, without any problem.

This thing is so great, that even my two cats enjoy getting a back massage with it! They both completely relax and act as though it's the best thing in the world!
