Last week, a package arrived at my door in a discreet brown box, complete with a generic-sounding return address. Upon opening the box, I found the Mini-Hummer strap-on vibe by California Exotic, in not-so-discreet packaging. :)

The box featured a beautiful brunette woman wearing the Mini-Hummer, along with a diagram of the toy itself. The diagram came in handy, because the enclosed instructions for insertion of the batteries were for a different type of toy and were of no use to me (to insert the batteries, gently pry the plastic latch in the end of the remote with your fingernail, and the cover will come off). The toy uses 3 AA-batteries in a corded remote that you can clip on to your clothing (if you're wearing any), or on to the toy's strap (like I did).

The toy is made of Jelly material, but I didn't notice as strong of a smell as I usually do with new Jelly toys. I also didn't have a way to cover the toy with a condom, so it was bare against my clit, with no irritation.

In my opinion, the Mini-Hummer looks a lot like most other strap-on vibes. The only visual differences between most strap-on vibes are the color the shape (heart, butterfly, bunny, etc).

It took a little time to get the straps adjusted to fit me in a way that didn't make the toy slide around and lose it's proper position, but it's definitely doable. I'm a size 4 and the straps still had a little bit of adjustment left in them, so I'd say this toy will probably fit a size 2 and up. The 3-strap design was unusual, but not problematic.

If used with a partner, just be careful when your guy is pulling out. My man said that the edges of the toy felt a bit rough.

After fitting the toy to my body, I turned the 3-stage remote on to the first setting. The vibrations were just the right strength to warm me up, and when combined with the anticipation of trying a new toy, I was ready and raring to go. As my guy lay on his back on the bed, I started fingering myself and moving the soft, pliable ridges of the Mini-Hummer against my clit.

Just when I couldn't take the suspense and longer, I threw one leg over him and slid his cock into me. The combination of the hands-free vibrations from the Mini-Hummer and the penetration from my man were amazing. Having my hands free to do as I pleased was a great freedom. I loved being able to run my hands up and down his body, touch my breasts, run my hands through my hair... whatever I wanted.

I clicked the remote up one more notch, and WOW, was I surprised at the strength of the vibrations! This toy can really pack a punch, and in a good way. I used my arms to support myself so I could grind harder up against him, and he could tell that I was moments away from orgasm. At the perfect moment, he clicked the remote up to the strongest level. I instantly started cumming. As I did he pressed into me harder, grabbing my hips and moving me as he wanted. I was paralyzed as he tilted my hips into his, pressing the Mini-Hummer harder against my clit. My body collapsed on to his, and I could feel the delicious wetness that I had poured over him. Immediately after my orgasm, the vibrations felt too strong and I felt the need to push the Mini-Hummer away from my body. This toy is definitely for girls who love strong vibrations.

Then, deciding that it was his turn to cum, He told me to put my ass in the air. As he took me from behind, it was a whole new experience. Doggy-style is one of my favorite positions, but I find it too difficult to comfortably touch myself or use a toy while in the position because I want to support myself with my arms. However, the Mini-Hummer definitely did the trick! As he made me cum a second time, again by turning the vibrations to the highest level at just the right moment, the orgasm was amazingly intense. I'd highly recommend combining the toy with your favorite sexual positions for a heightened experience.

I still absolutely love the mini hummer vibe, but it's functionality has definitely gone downhill. After a few weeks of frequent use, the middle speed stopped working. After another week, the switch got really difficult to move and only the highest (very intense) speed remained functional.
