The Mini Flex massager is a fairly inexpensive pocket rocket that is pretty basic when it comes to functions, but seems built to last. I had been on the hunt for a new pocket rocket, because after reading some reviews I thought it might be just what I was looking for to add some buzz to the blow jobs and hand jobs I give my husband. Pocket rockets seem to be a good choice for this with their concentrated vibrations and my husband has always seemed to enjoy buzzy vibrations more than the deeper kind that I personally prefer.

If you've ever been in the market for a pocket rocket, you know that there is an absolute multitude of options out there. Pages and pages of pocket rockets that vary greatly in price but seem to all do just about the same thing! It was a hard decision to make, but I ended up with the Mini Flex massager, as I had read other reviews about its lasting power. When it arrived, I had to agree that it looked pretty solid and seems pretty well made for something so inexpensive. The plastic feels pretty thick; it's definitely not made out of thin or cheap plastic. It's relatively low maintenance too since it requires a single AA battery and plastic can be used with any type of lube, if you need any. Cleaning is also super quick; you can just wipe it down with a wet cloth or spray on some toy cleaner and wipe it off.

The controls are easy as well. Once you have the battery inserted just twist on the top. The entire pocket rocket opens in two. When it's together you just twist it again to turn it on. A turn back in the opposite direction turns it back off. Just be careful when turning it off, it's easy to accidentally twist too far and have the whole thing pop back open.

My first issue with the Mini Flex occurred when I popped on one of the included heads. The one I tried was the round dome shaped head, and it got stuck! I tried and tried and could not get it back off. I gave it to my husband to try and he had no luck either. Finally we had to grab a flat head screwdriver and pry it off. He was able to get the other two on and off with no problem, but the other two are spiky and not something I'd really enjoy anyway. One is domed with smaller spikes, and the other is flat with larger spikes, both are uncomfortable, at least I think so. In the end, the domed one muffled the vibrations too much anyway, so we decided to just go about it using only the little metal balls of the pocket rocket itself.

Disappointment number two is the vibration intensity. There is only one speed of vibration, and that speed is mediocre at best. My husband could barely feel anything from it when I used it on the head of his penis, and I have to say it wasn't really blowing me away when I tried it on myself either. Now, if I leave it to do its work it will eventually get me off if I have some other kind of stimulation happening at the same time. On the plus side it's not overly loud, definitely not something that would be heard through a closed door anyway. I was kind of hoping that this little guy would have some serious power though, as I have often heard that pocket rockets are capable of. It seems I might have to keep looking if that is what I'm after.

I do think that a beginner or someone who likes lower intensities would really appreciate the Mini Flex. In fact, I would recommend this to someone completely new to toys because it is pretty sturdy, it's simple to use, it's inexpensive, and the vibration level isn't bad, we just personally prefer much more intense levels of vibration. For comparison, the only vibration that has ever made my husband feel even close to orgasm is the Fairy Miniature, and that bad boy packs some serious punch! Myself, I personally have never been a fan of buzzy vibrations in general, so in the end we can hardly say the Mini Flex doesn't have good vibrations; they just aren't the kind that we like.

I'm not one to just let a toy go to waste, so when we didn't get the desired result with the first try we got creative. My husband has decided that he likes the controls of the Mini Flex and that he likes the size. It's become his go to vibe of choice for using on me during sex. Since I'm already getting stimulation elsewhere, the extra buzz that it delivers just adds an extra element of pleasure during sex. We've used it on my nipples, on my perineum, against the anus (EXTERNALLY ONLY!) and on my clitoris at times. It's just a light feeling, but it's definitely nice. Will it make or break the experience? Probably not. But, it's still fun anyhow!
