The Triple Tong Teaser by California Exotics is a toy with both unfavorable and redeeming qualities. While considering pros and cons, the scales remained pretty even, but I’m confident in saying that it definitely provides pleasure to its user.

There weren’t very many surprises when I first received the Teaser. The box it comes in is pictured with its description and I knew full well what to expect from jelly. Jelly has a strong chemical smell to it that doesn’t come out and is kind of sticky when you run your fingers against it. The bullet and its jelly cover were bigger than I expected. For some reason 4 ½ inches looks bigger than it sounds. The battery pack holds two AA batteries and has a dial to control the speed of the vibrations.

When using the Teaser, I’d recommend using lube. Either silicone or water based will do. As I mentioned before, jelly tends to stick a little so without lube it won’t feel very nice on your skin. I really like the three-prong design. Even with the vibrations turned off, the prongs feel great when I run them up and down on my clit. With the vibrations turned on, this little toy is a power house. They range from a low hum to so strong I can hardly stand it. This makes it a great toy for when you want fast, strong orgasms. The jelly conducts vibrations like a dream, and the prongs quiver with the vibrations. The outermost prong is the most free and moves the most, and the innermost one moves the least. This makes it easy to tweak the intensity of the vibration. Since the prongs point downward, reaching my clit isn’t too hard on the wrists. Even if you don’t like the pinpoint stimulation from the prongs, you can use the smooth backside instead.

Its volume is pretty consistent with most bullet vibes. It can be heard in the next room (my house has thin walls, though) if there’s no other background noise.

I hope this vibe will be with me for some time, but I honestly can’t be sure of that. I’ve previously owned its sister, the G Curve Teaser, and it died after just a couple months. I wasn’t very gentle with it and used it probably 3 to 4 times a week. With bullets like these ones, the wire can easy get pulled too much so it loses its connection to the power. To ensure a long life for this vibe, I recommend being gentle with it. Don’t pick it up by just the bullet or battery pack, as that will put strain on the cord.

Some safety notes: Jelly is one of the most porous materials and it cannot be sterilized. Therefore, use a condom when sharing. Do not insert this toy anally, since it doesn’t have a flared base. I don’t recommend inserting bullets vaginally either, since that may lead you to pulling on the cord, which I’ve already established as a bad idea. I sometimes enjoy placing the tips of the prongs just inside my vagina or around its edges, and I supposed you could do the same anally but ONLY if you use a condom and then remove or change the condom for any vaginal play. Jelly can be cleaned with mild soap and warm water or antibacterial toy cleaner. It sometimes collects a little lint, so it wouldn’t hurt to give it a quick rinse before using it. If you use water to clean it, be careful to keep the water away from the cord and battery pack since this toy is not waterproof. The company does not specify this toy as phthalates-free, so you may want to use a condom with it for that reason alone.

The Triple Tong Teaser is a good little toy, if you can see past it being jelly, that is. If you take good care of it, it should live longer than my first one. (I will definitely be following up when this one kicks the bucket.) I would recommend it for both beginners and veterans as an inexpensive basic bullet.

This vibe had been on its last legs for a while. I haven't used it in some time since I have nicer clitoral vibrators now, but when I was using it months ago and when I tested it out just now, the vibrations sputter out a lot, like the connection is going out. Perhaps I'll start using it again so it can die already.
