I was originally planning on going with the Doc Johnson|iVibe pocket rocket - Pocket rocket by Doc Johnson IVibe pocket rocket as it seemed to be one of the bestsellers at all the adult toy websites online, but I was worried about spending that much on a toy whose concept was unproven territory for me. My clit tends to be a bit on the picky side when it comes to what succeeds in getting it off, and there are a lot of toys out there that I don't even have to try to know wouldn't do anything else other than tick me off. (I mean, really… watch batteries? Come on! What toy in the world that runs off of watch batteries could possibly be any satisfying?) But with such a loyal following as the pocket rocket carries, I felt like I should give it a go. And then I saw the Mega Mite.

I have read more than one review of this toy that stated it was even stronger than the Doc Johnson, and as I like stronger vibrations, I thought this was the perfect way to go. A strong, best-selling pocket rocket with a lot of amazing reviews, and a heck of a lot cheaper than the pocket rocket I was originally looking it. So I anxiously looked forward to this toy's arrival, convinced that it's orgasm creating skills were a done deal.

Was I in for a major disappointment.

I've got to be honest, I'm not quite sure what the big deal is with this toy. For most people, this toy is the greatest invention in the world of sex toys, ranked up there with the Hitachi, but I've got a notoriously fickle little $8 bullet that I want to throw out the window more often than not because of its ability to tease me half to death without letting me orgasm that still has stronger vibrations than this toy. And this toy is supposed to be stronger than the Doc Johnson one? If that is the case, then I'm glad I didn't splurge and spend more on that one instead. Then I REALLY wouldn't be a happy camper at the moment.

The concept of the pocket rocket toy is a great one. I was already in love with the small size, the structure of the tip, and the little nubs on top to provide pinpoint stimulation to the clit. But it is not nearly strong enough to do the job. It just does not deliver for me. I've only had one orgasm with this pocket rocket and it was only when I was actually using it in conjunction with a vibrating dildo|Vibrating dildos I use for anal play, and even then the orgasm wasn't as nice as it would have been if I'd been using another, stronger clit stimulator.

The times I've tried to use it by itself have always ended with me giving up and moving on to something else. It's good for warm-up and it will get me wet, but it does not follow through. A few times I would hit a hot spot that would result in some very intriguing near-peak sensations but they would instantly fade away, leaving me with nothing. I've tried for up to 45 minutes to get somewhere with this toy, and have failed every time. As a result, I haven't even bothered to take it into the shower with me to see how it performs in there, so I have no comment on its supposed waterproof-ness...

... Although I will say I see the same problems that others have mentioned in regards to how easily the thing pops open when all you're trying to do is turn it off and on, which would be a major concern if you were in the shower. And just forget about trying to use it in the bathtub. That would be all around bad news.

Plus, you HAVE to remove the battery when you're done, because even when its on the "off" position, it will either stay on, or pull a poltergeist on you by all of a sudden turning on all by its little lonesome.

Let me assure you, this is NOT fun.

The first time it did this, it was sitting on my glass topped night stand and I was clear on the other side of my room on the computer. The sound of it against that glass top was like a damn machine gun going off and it scared the ever-living crap out of me as I didn't know what the heck was coming after me! I didn't need another one of these experiences to learn my lesson.

I don't care if you love or hate this toy, take this to heart. Batteries come OUT immediately following any attempt to play nice with this thing. :p

Now, obviously, I am in the minority here and I acknowledge that. Most people's reviews of the pocket rockets sound like they're one step away from granting it saint-hood and I'm very happy for them. I just wish I could have joined their club. Unfortunately, I was not able to, so I figured I would share my experience in case someone else's hopes for this toy get dashed and they need someone to commiserate with.

Bottom line, I would recommend the Mega Mite to someone who doesn't need much stimulation in order to orgasm. I'm sure to them, this toy must seem very strong and more than enough to get them off multiple times. But someone who already knows they need more stimulation like myself, I think you'll be better off looking somewhere else for a clit stimulator, like a higher end bullet.
