Every time that I ventured into the condom section with my friend, she'd rant and rave about how badly she wanted one of these. Having previously tried similar items, she was really looking forward to trying the Vibrations Focus out as well. Sensing her anticipation, I couldn't resist buying one for myself when the opportunity arose.

Although this product didn't come with a carrying pouch, it did come with one Durex condom, and a very brief instruction guide. I can't really see myself using this finger vibe inside a condom, as you could with some products along with a phallus or dildo because of the large finger cone, but it's a pleasant concept.

Fresh out of the box I found there's a faint 'fresh plastic/rubber' smell, but it doesn't linger nor is it bothersome (more like a new product smell). I was a little surprised at how much jelly there was around both the bullet, and the finger cone, however this product is undoubtedly waterproof!

Since the Vibrations Focus only lasts for 20 minutes, I was curious about whether or not the battery was replaceable, and how one would do so. The instruction booklet indicated that it could be disposed of by splitting open the finger cone, and jelly, to expose the bullet. I went an alternative route by stretching open the jelly, where the on button sticks out, and pulled out the bullet which is encased in heavy duty plastic. It seems as though this product is meant to be thrown away after one use, as nothing indicated otherwise on the product or its instructions.

In terms of use, this product wasn't as great as the hype surrounding it. I found that although it was almost completely silent, and gives of fairly strong vibrations, it was hard to get it where I wanted it due to the finger cone's size and lack of flexibility. For me I thoroughly enjoy sensation around my vaginal opening, and had been planning for vibrations along the rear of the opening, but wasn't really able to get the right angle even with such a small product.

Looking back on my decision to purchase the Durex Play Vibrations Focus I really wish that I hadn't spent the money. On the plus side though, it is quite discreet and because of its strong vibrations, it's nice to enjoy if your goal isn't orgasming; or for those who enjoy direct clitoral stimulation. For myself it was really rather boring.
