This handheld heart massager from Rocks Off, Ltd. certainly got my rocks off! I didn't have high hopes for it at first, since it looks like a novelty gift you'd give or receive on Valentine's day; however, it blew me away with its strong vibrations and a few - but not an excessive amount of - patterns to choose from. It's solidly designed and should last a while. By the looks of it, it's obviously some type of massager, but it doesn't necessarily stand out as a sex toy, which may be practical in the event you forget to put it away.

You can literally, "luv your body" as the name implies, by massaging it anywhere from the neck all the way down to the soles of your feet, but it really feels great pressed against the pubis, with a concentration on the clitoris and labia. Obviously, its shape is not intended for internal use of either the vagina or anus.

MATERIAL
The toy is mostly made of plastic, with only a thin pink silicone layer covering the heart shape, which doesn't make the toy any less rigid, it just gives it a bit more drag and warmth against the area of the skin it comes in contact with. Additionally, the silicone is non-porous, hence it's safer to use on the genital area and cleans up thoroughly. There's no texture on the heart's surface, with the exception of the notable drag. There is no offensive odor to this toy.

SIZE & DESIGN
This is very portable, measuring about 6.5 inches in total length. The heart is just shy of a 3" size, which is should cover a very generous contact area.

The general design is a wand style, with a non-flexible neck. The motor is located within the heart, so that the user feels the maximum intensity of the vibrations. The white handle is just the right size to hold in a hand, and right where the "cleavage" of the heart is located is the perfect spot to rest one's index finger and still have easy access to the control buttons.

At the base of the handle is the battery compartment, marked off by a pink silicone gasket that is meant to be visible on the outside. To access the removable battery tray, you have to sort of push down and pull away the cap where the little white raised heart logo is located (see pic below). It took me a few tries to figure it out. I really like the removable battery tray, which seats 4-AAA batteries. When replacing the cap, it is imperative that the gasket/seal lay correctly around the battery compartment for the toy to be waterproof. Unfortunately, once I took it off the battery cap the very first time to put the batteries in, the gasket seemed to bulge out on either one side or another, but it still provided the impermeability needed to keep water out during cleaning or in the shower. I don't think I'd risk using this in a bathtub, at least not submerged in the water.


FUNCTIONS
The top side of the handle has two slightly raised white buttons. The top one closest to the heart is the "on/off" switch and the lower one marked with the symbol "5X" cycles through the functions. It starts off on a setting that is surprisingly strong "low", then moves to "medium" , and then "high" (woot! my favorite). These are followed by two patterns: the first, an escalation of pulses from low and ending on high with a long "buzzz"; and the second is also an escalating sequence, but with just pulses. In my opinion, the difference between the two is actually very subtle and they are both enjoyable to use. A pink LED light illuminates the control panel once it is turned on and flashes to the beat of the heart on the pattern settings. Speaking of a beating heart, this toy is so powerful that I can see the heart shake a little on the highest settings. It's not a quiet toy, even on low, but wow, the power is nice! I'd describe the frequency of the vibrations as a rumble as opposed to a quiet, high buzz.

CARE
The toy comes in a great heavy-duty, hard plastic case that makes an ideal storage box. Only a water-based lubricant should be used on the silicone heart, and the best way to clean it is under warm running water with anti-bacterial soap. It can't be sterilized in the dishwasher or in boiling water because of the electrical components.

Out of all the other handheld massagers that I have tried (Siri, Mimi, BSoft), this is the only one that could get me off the fastest. Sure, as a body massager it's just alright, but it doesn't replace the talented hands of my massage therapist. As a clitoral vibe, it's awesome! I didn't use the tip of the heart for pinpoint stimulation because I prefer to have all parts of the heart pressing down against my clitoris and labia, and for that, the design is perfect!

My opinion on this toy hasn't changed, I just don't reach for it very often. I'm not sure if I mentioned it before, but it's kind of "rattly" sounding.
