The Superbe by Natural Contours is a product I didn't have high hopes for, yet was pleasantly surprised. Sure, it's not the most powerful or pretty in regard to color, nor is it well built when it comes to feel (it feels cheap), but it does do a pretty good job when it comes to arousal and stimulation.

Packaging

I was impressed with the way it was packaged; a clear, matte plastic case that discreetly and respectfully displayed the product. There was nothing on it to hint what it was nor was there any nudity, sexually suggestive material or tacky phrases; the packaging is simple, and that’s why I like it.

The Good

When I initially took the Superbe out of the packaging I was taken aback by its shape and design. Not only did it not look like a typical “vibrator,” but it was also rather large and bulky measuring 4.25 inches in length and graduating in width from 1.25 to 2.5 inches. Aside from that it was an strange shade of yellow, reminding me of something I might see in a sci-fi movie rather than a product used for pleasure.

When I first held it I was quite surprised see how well it fit into my hand. I was even more surprised to see that after holding it for 15 minutes I had no cramping in my wrist or pains shooting up my arms like I usually do.

That said, for those of you who are tired of arm cramps, pains in your fingers, having a sore wrist or tension that can be created from keeping the same position (or holding something for a period of time), this product would be perfect you!

Operating the Superbe is easy; located on the handle is a simple “slider” that allows you to switch between speeds with ease. To turn it on, move the slider to the opposite side and you’re met with the lowest speed. Move it once space over and you’re met with the medium speed, then move it one more and you’ve got the highest speed. To turn it off just slide it back into its original position and it quickly stops.

As for the ways it can be used; with its curved neck and rounded head the Superbe fits the shape of the vulva perfectly, almost hugging it, while at the same time delivering amazing stimulation to the clitoris. I’ll be honest; I only know of a few other products in the same affordable price range that are also capable of providing the controlled but widespread and comfortable stimulation the Superbe has to offer.

The Superbe can also be used by males to comfortably hug their balls, press on the perineum (rest the balls on the curve and let the head press on the “taint”) or to gently caress the shaft of their penis.

Aside from that, with its hard outer casing the product can be used to knead sore and aching muscles while at the same time providing soothing and relaxing vibrations.

In regards to volume, while it does make noise I can say with confidence that compared to other products on the market it’s on the quieter end of the scale.

Care & Cleaning

Since the Superbe is made of a hard plastic you can use any lube you want without the fear of possibly ruining it.

When it comes to cleaning (it's splash proof but not waterproof), I don’t suggest washing under a running faucet. Instead, I suggest that you either wipe it down with a damp cloth/cleansing cloth or spray with it with an anti bacterial toy cleaner and let it air dry. Since it’s not the shape of anything “sexual” you could safely and discreetly place it in a drawer for safe keeping without the fear of embarrassment should it be found.

As an added bonus, for those of you who are clutzy and have accidentally dropped a vibe or two to its death (I’m sorry Pocket Rocket and Enchanted Egg, it was an accident I swear!), the Superbe is made with an “impact resistant casing” that helps to ensure it has a long and lasting life.

The Bad

When it comes to things I don’t like about the product I only have only two:

It isn’t the most powerful vibe I’ve come across, but for some of you that might be a positive! Remember guys, just because a product “isn’t that powerful” it doesn’t mean that it’s not good.

Second, it’s not waterproof; a definite draw back for those of you who like having something you can take in the washroom when you're “bathing”. That said, there are other products that Natural Contours makes (like the Jolie) that are waterproof and just as comfortable as the Superbe.

While I think that this would be a perfect product for someone who wants something light, easy to use, with minimal buttons and a low - mid vibration behind it, I've come to find that it's just kind of boring for *me*. I don't want to say that I don't like it anymore because it's ability to be a fantastic product will definitely ring true for many, and for the most part it's still in the same condition and works perfectly. It just doesn't have that ooomph I look for in regard to vibrations.
