The Cone is by far one of the most unique and innovative toys I have in my collection. It is shaped like, well, a large cone and is made of a soft pink silicone material that holds it in place and keeps it from sliding around. Thus, the Cone can be used on hard or soft surfaces and even propped up against a wall for doggie-style fun.

The Cone came at a precipitous time for me since I’ve been having serious lower back problems. The first day I got it, I immediately put it on the coffee table and tried lowering myself over it fully clothed, just to get a taste. Unfortunately, I then had to put it away for another time. When I did finally get to try it out, I just lowered myself onto it, adjusted the speed, pulled out my favorite reading material, and went along for a ride. It was very easy on my back and made me orgasm in a very short period of time, twice.

The Cone has a wide variety of settings—16 in all, many of them quite unique and interesting. The controls are easy to use; there’s an on/off button that can also be pressed twice to proceed directly to setting 16 (Orgasm Mode), the most intense of the settings. For the fainter of heart, there’s a second button that allows you to cycle through the other speeds and variations—escalating, pulsating, fluttering, and others I can’t even describe. A nice feature is that hitting the on/off button again immediately kills the motor when you’re finished.

The Cone is very quiet on its lower powers but can get extremely loud on some of its higher and wilder settings. The surface on which you rest the Cone also makes a huge impact on the amount of noise this toy makes. On the bedroom carpet, it was reasonably quiet; on my coffee table, it was so loud it had the dog barking. Again though, on the higher and more intense settings, this toy is definitely far from discreet. It is powered by three C batteries, which give it a good amount of oomph.

The Cone is also quite effective for anal exploration because it provides maximum stimulation with minimum penetration. So for those just starting to experiment in this region, it would be a great place to start. The silicone material also makes for safe and easy clean-up.

All in all, I’d say the Cone is definitely worth adding to your collection if you like a wide variety of options in your sex toys. This is certainly one with which you’ll be experimenting for a long time to come.

I've received more questions about The Cone than any other product I've reviewed, probably because it is such a unique and innovative product.  Many of the questions involve how you use it, and it's hardly responsible reviewing to say "be creative!" regarding a product of this price.  However, this is a product that does require creativity and experimentation if you want to make the most of it.  I think it's a product few people will be genuinely disappointed with, but it may require a few tries to get it right.

One tip I can offer:  probably my biggest problem with the cone is the "pointiness" of the tip, which can become painful at times.  Placing a towel over the tip reduces or eliminates the discomfort, and the vibrations are strong enough not to be significantly diminished by doing so.
