Like most women I need a little clitoral help when I’m having sex. Instead of dealing with the fuss and distraction of a loose vibrator I thought a strap-on model|Strap-on vibrators would be helpful. Be that as it may, this is not my first choice, nor would I recommend it as anything more than a pleasant helper when reading your favorite steamy novel.

The cyberskin cover reeked when it came out of the package – I don’t know how typical that is of cyberskin since this is my first toy of that material. The plug of cyberskin in the packaging was fun to play with, seeing how far it would stretch, and to see what it took to shred the plug. It was very easy to shred, by stretching with pressure or anywhere the plug was nicked by the plastic packaging. It didn’t fell very skin like to me, until I got some lube on it.

The batteries were a pain to get to – the little silvery bullet was well designed, but the battery cover was nigh impossible to distinguish from the section housing the intensity dial. I rue the frequency of battery changes necessitated by the three watch batteries that power the bullet.

Once I got the bullet working and the cover on then came the next puzzle – how to rig the two straps to two anchors in a manner that would keep it stationary? Thankfully EdenFantasys.com has some images of the shell with the straps on because it never occurred to me to rig that configuration of straps (can you tell I’m not much of one for harnesses?).

Now that the shell was ready for take off to try it on. The straps aren’t going to be long enough for someone of a large pant size – size 14 at the most for a halfway comfortable fit. The straps are of a relatively hard material, if I thought this vibrator was any good, I’d replace them with homemade ones of softer elastic.

The vibrator has a wide range of vibration, which I like because while I can take a pretty good shot, I like to start milder than most vibrators’ lowest setting. The vibration itself was not enough to get me off, but was a comfortable while I was reading. The bullet is well padded by the shell, so even the most aggressive rocking didn’t hurt my husband or me. Positioning this was a pain – it didn’t like to stay where I wanted and out of the way of penetration.

All in all I wasn’t very happy with this product (Cyberskin she shell|Cyberskin she shell - Strap-on vibrator), and I will continue my search for hands-free stimulation.

I think my main problem with this product is the material-- if you like Cyberskin you might like it. I've found that Cyberskin also malforms after long periods of time. It has pretty much collected dust since I first reviewed it, and will find a home in the trash when I clean out my toy box.
