The JimmyJane contour I is a high quality product, most assuredly, and a decent value for its tag price - but honestly, it bores me. I've been thinking about it, and I think it boils down to the fact that the Contour I is less effective than my hands at massaging, making it something I never reach for when going for massage supplies. This is a shame, as I really feel like this massager has the potential to add quite a bit to the massage, somehow. Maybe in a different shape.

The Contour I is made from ceramic - double fired porcelain, actually - and promises to be hardy and life long lasting if treated correctly. It's shape is that of a letter I, or a bone, or a small dumbbell. It's small, however - the balls are perhaps 1.25" across, and the toy only has an overall length around five inches. This really excludes it as an insertable toy for many, but it could work well for some, perhaps more so with a partner in control. As a massage aid, it tucked nicely into the palm and was light enough to allow free movement to and fro. Unfortunately, however, it's really nowhere near as exciting as a hand for either of these purposes. Additionally, I found that the ceramic surface grabbed at skin a little unpleasantly when used with a massage cream. This could be better with an oil, I think, but it's another reason I'm not overly enthused about the Contour I.

The Contour I is non porous and can be sanitized by doing a soak in a dilute bleach solution. It should not be boiled or dishwashered as it could break with extreme heat changes. Likewise, the Contour I will hold temperatures for pleasantly long, and could mix well with a hot stone massage. Still, I don't think this particular shape is worth it.
