I'm not gentle with my lovers, electronics, or sex toys. (Which explains why I'm constantly looking for replacements, or insurance, for the ones I currently own.) It’s also doesn’t help that I’m not a girl who’s easy to please. So when I’m shopping for something new, it’s a rather daunting quest. But I’ve found my match with Topco’s 5x Finger Vibrator.

The vibrator showed up at my doorstep in it’s shiny new packaging and I couldn’t wait to try it out. The vibration hardness control feature sounded like a dream come true as most fingertip vibes out there barely make me mumble, never mind moan. The feature itself is actually controlled by a dial which makes things a little complicated in the midst of play, but not ridiculous. Things get somewhat tricky from here as the 5 variating vibration cycles that the item offers are controlled by a button, so now you’re trying to work a button, and a dial, at the same time. I’d lambaste Topco for their choice in controls, but I know that a lot of g-spot and clit stimulators out there have wired-in remote controls, so this is relatively tame in comparison.

The finger clamp on the vibrator is a little uncomfortable, but it stays on a lot better than rings on other hand-held toys I’ve gotten my hands on. Though will leave an impression when you’re done. The 4 interchangeable sleeves made from Pleasureskin that come with the vibe are great for some extra stimulation and are firm, but pliable. The toy, and the sleeves, are both relatively easy to clean, and only requires a minimum amount of toy cleaner to cover all surfaces evenly. The package doesn’t include lube or toy cleaner, so make certain that you’ve stocked up before hand.

The actual sensation of the vibrator is great, especially having all the options that come with it. It allows you to vary the experience, so that you won’t get bored with it after a month. My only real pet-peeve with the item is that the battery type used with the toy is an incredibly odd, watch-style battery. And if you don’t get precisely that battery, then the item won’t ‘sit up’, it’ll ‘play dead’. The longevity on battery life isn’t so great either, which is sad since the vibe needs 4 batteries each time. Heavy users, like me, should expect it to last about 2 weeks, tops.

The vibe contains various vibration settings and would be great to use as both a tease for nipples and other erogenous zones, in foreplay to build to a slow climax, or if you're trying to achieve multiple orgasms during one evening of sex.
