This is a lovely, versatile toy that can be used as a traditional three speed vibrator or a full body massager. The Magnifique is perfect for anyone who has sore muscles or likes an elegantly curved vibrator. Its hard plastic making it easy to care for and at the price offered here it's a steal!
The Magnifique is a stimulator that can double easily as a massager. It is lovely as a clitoral stimulator and since it has three speeds it won't leave your poor clit numb and stunned. It makes nipples feel loved and cherished rather than rubbed raw, but the vibrations are very deep not high and buzzy so the sensation to the nipples is less irritating. It's lovely when paired with another vibe for clitoral stimulation.
This isn't a toy that lends itself easily to penetration and as far as I am concerned it fails if it were to be judged as a "g" spot stimulator. The massager's angled head isn't as comfortable as other true "g" spot vibrators I own. The "head" of the toy is angled to cup the clitoris and it can lay against the clit while curving around to buzz all of the area from the top of your pubic mound almost to the anus!
The toy shines, in my opinion, as a massager. Its shape lends itself to easily getting at sore muscles and its smooth plastic can aid in rubbing in any oil or cream designed to bring relief. Used with a partner it can give a relaxing and wonderful massage to almost any area of the body including head, face, neck, shoulders, back, and legs (not to forget all the naughty parts in the bikini area). The three speeds guarantee that almost any area can be reached and massaged while the shape and tapering of the ends gently cup and massage away tension!
The Magnifique is made of hard, food grade, plastic that is phthalates free, hypoallergenic and latex free. It is off white and has a seam that runs horizontally all around the toy.
For such a low priced toy it's quite the steal!
There is no unpleasant smell and even though this toy is hard plastic the finish is smooth enough that it doesn't feel unforgiving. It is tapered and shaped for easy use when running it over the body particularly the clitoris or frenulum. It is easily inserted and silky when used with lube. The texture doesn't add extra stimulation but is smooth enough to please. When paired with a good massage oil or cream it glides over the surface of the skin actually working the muscles below deeper than I would have given it credit for upon first glance.
This is a very user friendly appliance and suitable for any level of experience. As a vibrator it is very discreet and non-vibrator looking. As a massager it is very self explanatory and easy to use.
I love the design of the magnifique. The battery casing, which is located on the underside of the toy, takes 2 AA batteries and the correct placing of them is clearly labeled and easy to follow. Although the toy isn't waterproof and the sliding battery compartment top can be tricky, once it is on firmly it is secure enough that no water leaks into the compartment during careful cleaning.
The toy fits the palm of the hand on one end and then curves and tapers to the other end. The curve fits lovely over the neck and shoulders as well as curving to easily reach the clitoris if, like me, you prefer to lay on your back while masturbating. The size of the insertable end is fairly substantial but not overly large. It won't scare any but the tightest of users. The toy has a seam which runs down both sides of the toy, horizontally. A small drawback in my opinion, your mileage may vary.
The plastic is silky and doesn't drag along the skin during a massage.
This isn't a huge toy and doesn't scream sex toy, so it could sit out on the bedside table and no one would be the wiser. Traveling with this baby is easy because once again it doesn't look like a vibrator, it looks like a massager.
The Magnifique offers three speeds: the highest speed is the most buzzy, the medium speed is deeper and a tiny bit less buzzy and the lowest speed is deep and almost thrums. The lowest speed was enough to allow me to achieve orgasm which was a first for me, I think it had to do with the deeper thrumming pitch of the vibration.
The controls are located on the top of the toy over the battery compartment. The toy is meant to be held by the end containing the battery compartment and has an odd set up, the toy starts on the highest speed and then moves with two more clicks to the lowest setting. It seems oddly backwards to me but unique. The sliding thumb bar is easy to reach and won't change its settings accidentally during play.
The vibrations are most heavily concentrated in the tapering end but the other side provides a nice softer vibration if that is your preference. Since the whole toy vibrates it allows you to rest the toy across a sore muscle and just relax against it, or rest the tapered end of the toy against your clitoris and curve the rest of the toy down toward the anus for a full labia vibration. I recommend trying this, it's a very unique sensation!
The Magnifique loves penises and can curve around and down the side of one sinuously, vibrating and stimulating from the head to the testicles depending on the length of the erection.
With most vibrators I am usually able to pick the best speed, I find that with this one I like all three speeds and even without variations or pulses it is a satisfying vibrator.
Neither Sigel nor Arch have tried the Magnifique as a "p" spot stimulator so I can't comment on it's effectiveness or ease of use. I would caution the user to have a condom ready as the seam on the sides of this toy could collect bacteria very easily.
The magnifique is hard plastic so it can be cleaned with a hot soapy washcloth or a commercial toy cleaner. Extra care is needed to clean the seam running the entire length of the toy as it can collect bodily fluids, lube or lotions. A fingernail or a soft toothbrush works great to scrub it out. You can also sanitize it with a 10% bleach solution.
The toy isn't waterproof so be careful to avoid getting water in the battery compartment. The lid of the compartment is tightly fitted so as long as care is taken to close it properly and it isn't submersed it should be fine. I've never gotten water in the compartment and I wash it in the sink with hot water and feminine cleanser.
The toy comes in a beautiful sliding box that is perfect for storage. Be sure the toy is completely dry before placing it in the box as it is cardboard, though the sliding sleeve that acts as a cover is plastic.
It is hard plastic so it can be safely stored with other plastic toys or in a bedside drawer. It is compatible with all types of lubes and lotions.
The package the Magnifique comes in is just plain beautiful and very useful. The dark blue heavy cardboard bottom complements the creamy off white of the magnifique and emphasizes the beautiful lines of this toy. The top is a frosted plastic sleeve that wraps around the cardboard bottom. The dark blue shines through the frosted plastic beautifully illuminating the dual pictures of the Magnifique on either side of the box. The top is unadorned except for some lovely writing: "Natural Contours personal products Magnifique". The beautiful shape of the toy can be clearly viewed through the top of the box. The box is contoured inside and perfect for storing the Magnifique.
The box makes the wonderful massager a perfect gift as it can simply be wrapped in pretty paper and given. A thoughtful, elegant and reasonably priced gift.
There was a small folded paper detailing proper battery placement and simple care instructions inside the box. The toy is fairly self explanatory and user friendly.
Sigel loved the toy after I pulled it out one frustrating night. His knee was killing him and my massage skills weren't enough to not cause additional pain. I had already used Pink silicone lubricant as my massage oil that evening (it's great on scars and for massages) and the magnifique just glided right into place. On the medium setting he sighed with relief but when the curve of the toy wrapped around his knee cap and I turned it up to its highest setting he actually felt the muscle begin to relax. It was a visible relaxing and we both watched the swelling go down as I worked the tip of the massager over the area in small circles.
This toy works well as an external stimulator and can be used internally, but it shines as a massager.
Follow-up commentaryI still like it13 days after original review
I stated in my original review that this toy doesn't really shine as a vibrator. For me, solo play with this toy is just not as exciting as some of the other toys I have. Since I wrote the review, however, I have used the Magnifique with a partner...WOW! The lighter teasing vibes of the lower settings extended the buildup until I was writhing in ecstacy and when he inserted the ergometrically designed slender end it hit my "g" spot and BLAM another orgasm!
As a solo toy I still rate this vibe as a so-so, if there's nothing else available vibrator. With a partner it is amazing!
