Sad little eggy...
We tried it, we cleaned it, we retired it. The ITap egg is an item that we found so completely useless as a sex toy that we have turned it into a cat toy. The kitties love it, it shakes every time they swat it and doesn't die as easy as their other toys. Great concept, not so great in working, wait for the next version.
Published:
Pros
Easy to clean, fairly strong vibrations for its size.
Cons
Poor performance when put in use, too sensitive of a changing button.
Okay I'm more than wiling to give anything a chance even if I've gotten no good opinions on it. This time, we were both hoping that we'd be able to give a good opinion of the egg...um nope.
First off, when we got it in the mail, I confess the first thought we both had was 'It's a giant Tylenol'. And it looks like one, a giant plastic Tylenol that vibrates and shakes when you touch it. And like a Tylenol taken for a migraine, it did very little. The only real pleasure we got out of it was the chuckling at its resemblance to a pharmaceutical. Within a few minutes of use it became apparent that if you so much as breathe on it then it swaps to the next in its line of settings or turns off. Use with a partner made it swap even faster. We must have tried at least a dozen different ways to use this thing and each time it swapped before it could do any real good. It damn near killed the mood entirely. We tossed it aside and opted for the reigning champion of our vibrating toys, Shiny (see my review Ooooh Shiny!!!) to take over and 'save the day' as it were.
We went over this thing with a fine toothed comb, up and down one side and the other of it trying to find some way this thing could be used to good effect...with no cord, it's not really a good idea to insert it vaginally or anally depending on your preference and with how easy it changes settings why would you want to? I can picture it going and turning off at the worst time and leaving you hanging like you were with a premature guy who came and went limp immediately, leaving you totally unsatisfied. Cleaning it is a breeze but that's because it's hard and nonporous. Cant imagine why you'd share it, being kinda like the stinky pair of boots that gets left outside so no-one in the house has to smell 'em but yea I don't advocate sharing toys outside your main partner and always always use a condom if your inserting it a mix of vaginally and anally.
Overall: we don't like it. The only ones in the house that like this toy are the cats. We left the batteries in it and gave it to the cats after we cleaned it. They love batting it around the floor. So if you want a fairly pricey cat toy. By all means by the egg. We'll try the next version to see if they work the kinks out of the design but this one is retired and recommissioned to a different line of work.

The cats love it. Had to replace the batteries. But they still love it! They bat that thing around all over the house, got it stuck under the stove once and I had to retrieve it in the middle of the night cuz they wouldn't stop crying. So yea they love that thing.

Thank you for viewing iTap egg – egg discontinued review page!
Nice review, thanks!
I agree that it would be unsafe to use anally, but why do you say it would be unsafe to insert vaginally?
