Best ten dollars I've ever spent. The Octo-Pleaser honestly sees more use than our Hitachi Wand; it's just that good for us. We use it for back massages as intended, and it works amazingly. My wife has had some back problems recently, and that's what inclined me to purchase the Octo-Pleaser. The day this came in we also got a few other toys, but she pretty much dove right for this one. No surprise, I'm just happy it lived up to her expectations. The only problem we faced was that it rode weird near bone like the spine or shoulders, and we had to either wear a shirt or use excessive amounts of oils because of the tug on the skin. But, as said, it's the best ten dollars I've ever spent.

To start, why this is such an amazing product: the eight tentacles spread pressure all along the back. The spread pressure feels amazing everywhere that isn't the spine or shoulders. With both of those spots the tentacles would hit weird near bone and just didn't work, but we would just switch to a traditional hand massage. We found that a traditional hand massage along the back worked well in conjunction with the Octo-Pleaser. We also found that using the Octopus on bare back rubbed hard on the skin and we had to use either excessive amounts of massage oils or just wear a common cotton shirt. When we needed more pressure in a specific spot, we found that you can flip the Octopus over and use its head as a massager too. Didn't feel as good as the tentacles, but it's definitely situational for each massage.

We also did jump on the chance to try this in the shower and we were disappointed. Again, it just rubbed too much on the skin for it to be pleasurable. It worked, but we just didn't like it.

Again, we LOVE this Octopus. One of the few items we would really need to discuss getting just because it's that good. It's discreet, feels great, easy to use, and we can use it nightly like we have been since we got it a week ago. It will easily be the most used item in the bedroom from now on.

Before getting this, I would give my wife a massage every other night. Now it's a lot easier on my arms to split the massage up between the Octopus and my hands, and the whole experience lasts longer and is possible to do every night. We've tried using those wooden rollers but they either pinch or wear out fast. With the Octopus, we just need to wear a shirt and we are set for the night.

We still use this little guy every other night at the least. Love it. Some of our friends found it laying around and didn't even know what it was for, it's that discreet. But we showed them it was for your back and they wanted one for themselves!
