The Cleo by ONO Pleasure is a waterproof external vibrator that is made of plastic and glorious smooth silicone and comes with a detachable suction cup base. Unlike most silicone toys, because the Cleo is made of a firm silicone it doesn't attract lint like the softer silicone toys we all love. As long as you ensure the base is securely screwed on you can bring it in the shower or tub with you, I'd love to try this out in a hot tub!

It's unique shape reminds me of a saddle, the smooth curves glide easily over the hills and valleys of your or your partners body. Unfortunately it's f'ing huge and if you have small hands can be hard to hold, but the suction cup helps with that. It's not really arty enough to leave out and call it a sculpture, and it's a little too big to shove in the sock drawer so storage could be an issue.

The controls are great, a little plus and minus button on either side of the ono logo which lights up with an led when you press either button. It also has a "quick off" which is done simply by holding the "-" down for more than 2 seconds. Once you get to the highest vibration setting if you hold the "+" for a few seconds it starts cycling through the patterns and pressing the "-" will bring it back to the solid vibrations.

The vibrations are whisper quiet and even at it's loudest can't be heard through a closed door. It has 8 speeds of deep rumbling vibration and 7 unique patterns. The patterns are:

1 med intensity pulse
2 high intensity pulse
3 rapid high intensity pulse
4 "wave" pattern smooth escalation and deescalation
5 "step wave" picture vibration to the tune of "do re mi fa so la tee doh"
6 short step wave followed by 3 to 4 rapid pulses
7 random intensity and pattern, reminds me of a techno song

Unfortunately it's large size and unique shape give it a bit of a learning curve, it doesn't come with instructions or suggestions for use(other than care and cleaning and how to put in the batteries) so it takes a fair bit of fiddling to get the hang of it. It took me several tries before i found a position it worked best for me. Once i figured out what the hell i was doing I did manage to use the Cleo to have a hands free orgasm. It also works great for easing the aches and pains we all get and the medium pulsing pattern made quick work of the persistent and annoying muscle not i tend to get under my right shoulder blade.

It cleans easily with soap and water(take the batteries out first!), toy wipes or a 10% bleach solution wipe down, but since it's a vibrator you can't boil it. I recommend storing all battery operated toys without the batteries in to prolong the life of the toy.

So the final verdict is 4 stars, it's well made, versatile and whisper quiet, but it looses points for it's bulky size, learning curve and the fact it's hard to store.

it's hard, it's kinda awkward to use, i think i just can't really get the hang of it, it's a shame because the vibration patterns are really unique and it has a really nice intensity.
