Fukuoku 9000, sounds pretty high tech huh. Though I can't say I know how to actually pronounce the name, I can't help but think of "Fuck You" "OK" "You" when I see the word. Anywho, the Fukuoku 9000 is a finger vibrator that is named such because it is powerful enough to transmit 9000 vibrations per minute. I'm not really into technical specifications so I couldn't tell you how much other vibrators give off, but it seems from my experiences the fukuoku 9000 is about average. It claims to be super powerful, but I'm just not buying it. Can't tell my clit-o-steel that this should be named powerful. I wouldn't exactly call it weak either, just perfectly average and buzzy. There's two levels, both easily controlled by a little black switch on the side. It's powered by watch batteries, which explains the buzzy type vibrations and the average intensity.

There's something else about the fukouku 9000 that makes it pretty awesome in my book though. I have the clear one, couple that with the fact that it's super small and fits right on the tip of my finger, it's pretty discreet during sex. The reason I bought this was that lately my husband has been enjoying me pleasure myself a bit during foreplay. I was never the type of girl who used her hands much to masturbate, so it's kind of all new to me. It's definitely not my method of choice, even now, it just kind of bores me. But, what doesn't bore me is how turned on it makes my husband to watch me. This, of course, allows me to get more into it but it still wasn't enough to really get me anywhere orgasm wise. This is where Fukuoku 900 comes in to save the day! Well, while the vibrations aren't earth shattering and they're more on the buzzy, high pitched side, they do add a little something to the act of pleasuring myself with my fingers. Unlike some of our other toys, the visual appeal for my husband is still completely intact as there is no bulky toys to get in the way. Really, from the top of the finger all that is seen is the handle that holds it in place, since this is clear there's really nothing to be seen! It's also relatively quiet, another way that this toy provides an absence of distraction.

I've also found that the vibrations kind of guide me a long. I can't orgasm from my hands alone, and I can't orgasm from the Fukuoku 9000 alone, but I can with the two of them combined. It teaches me how to rely more on my fingers and their motions than on vibration alone, while still giving me that delicious bzzzz to help me along. Not only is this a fun toy for this purpose, but it's also fun for my husband to use on me for just a little extra kick while he's pleasuring me. The buzzy vibrations don't take away from what he's doing, which is the goal. Vibrations are nice, but I also like to feel what he's doing. I've been able to slip this on my finger while giving him oral or manual stimulation as well, and while it's not orgasmic for him, it still adds a little extra pleasure for him too.

The Fukuoku 9000 comes with three interchangeable covers made from silicone, each with a different texture. One has ribs, one has a circle and one has little nubs. I have to say, I can't really feel much difference between them. When you're using one you can tuck the extras into the little black pack it comes with, or you can store your Fukuoku 900 in that pack. It's kind of hard to fit them all in there together though, so you kind of have to choose. I just leave the extras in there and throw the toy itself in my little nightstand toy box. The Fukuoku 9000 is pretty easy to clean, since it's only used externally I usually just slide off the cover and wash that, and then wipe down the rest if needed. Keep in mind that this is not a waterproof toy, so keep it out of the shower and don't get the actual toy part too wet during cleaning.

I'm glad I took a chance and bought the Fukuoku 9000. While it's not powerful enough to really give me an orgasm on its own, it's a nice "helper vibe" for both masturbation and mutual fun. I actually turn to this one a lot during foreplay since, like I said earlier, it's nice to be able to feel my husband's touch and not an overwhelming vibration. I think the Fukuoku 9000 would be great for beginners and experienced users alike. Beginners would probably get more pleasure from the vibrations themselves and would probably consider them stronger than I do, but experienced users, even those with clits-o-steel, can still definitely enjoy this little gem for those times that you don't really want a knock-your-socks-off vibrator.
