I thought that the Piko Bong Ako would be awesome. I was so excited to get it. An affordable high end vibrator! It was made of silicone for darn sake! A powerhouse, quiet vibe in a small package was what I was promised.

Instead what I received was a weak dud. Is the Pikobong Ako really quiet? Yeah, it is super quiet. But after all, what noise could it possibly make without vibrations?

The Piko Bong Ako is made out of silicone. Sometimes, silicone can have a really gross sticky feeling. It can have quite the drag on skin. Not the Ako though. Instead, it is the best kind of silicone. This silicone is silky and smooth and can easily be rubbed across skin without any drag.

The Piko Bong Ako is whisper quiet. On its lowest setting, I literally can’t hear it. I have to actually hold it up to my ear to hear it. And it isn’t much louder on it’s highest setting. On it’s highest setting, it’s maybe a 2. I live with other people and have super thin walls. I have felt comfortable using this toy on its highest setting without any music. There’s absolutely no way that anyone is going to hear this.

The Ako is pretty discreet as well. It’s cute and not immediately recognizable as a vibe. Mix that with it’s low sound, and you have a good vibe for roommate living. Except one thing: the absolutely lackluster vibrations. Shallow, buzzy vibes that barely hit a 3 on the vroom scale.

I thought this toy was going to be a great value. A luxury toy without the luxury price tag. Well, it’s true what they say: you get what you pay for. This toy is silicone, is discreet and is whisper quiet. But it fails to do the one thing a vibrator is expected to do: it doesn't provide vibrations.
