Yooo Review
If you're looking for a high end product that's unique and discreet, while also being quiet, rechargeable, powerful and something you can take in the shower or bath, the Fun Factory Yooo
might just be for you. If on the other hand you're specifically looking for a great clitoral stimulator, one that targets the area, has a deep and penetrating vibration, while also offering variable patterns and speeds, you might want to look at something like the Form 2, Insignia Alia or the We-Vibe Touch.

Pros
discreet, rechargeable, quality silicone
Cons
learning curve, awkward design, buttons hard to push
While there are a few issues I have with the Yooo, there are of course a few things it does have going for it;
It's crafted out of high quality silicone that's non toxic, hypo allergenic, hygienic, latex and phthalate free, odorless, while also being velvety smooth to touch. Unlike other silicones it doesn't really collect lint (a pet peeve of mine), has some give and squish to it, and although there is a slight bit of drag, it's not much to worry about.
Whether you live in a dorm, have a roommate, share space with nosy siblings, you should be fine; there's a very likely chance they'd either think it was a kids toy or possibly something for the bath instead of a sexual wellness product.
It's rechargeable. I know for some of you that isn't really an issue but after losing many products during my early days to the evil corrosion of batteries, along with the amount of money I've spent on them, I had to learn the hard way why having products that are rechargeable is not only smarter, but saves you quite a bit of money in the long run.
The packaging is discreet, professional and rather hi-tech looking. There is nothing on it that's rude, inappropriate or embarrassing. Sure the write up is a little tacky (the mention of the 'balls' is done far too often), but for the most part it's nothing to worry about.
Last but definitely not least - it's very quiet. Sure it's a vibrator and therefor does make noise, but it's nothing that would be heard when muffled under the sheets, and certainly wouldn't be heard through a door or within a shower or running bath.
The Specs
In regard to the size and shape of the product you're basically looking at 3 spheres; the middle one houses the buttons, while also giving you the surface area to magnetically connect and charge your Yooo. The two smaller balls are slightly different, with one measuring 1.75" across and the other 1.5", each of which hold their own separate motor. It's these separate motors that offer different methods of stimulation and allow you to explore and play until you find a position that works for you and your body.
As for operating the product, there are only 3 buttons to worry about; a (+) plus, (-) minus and flower shaped 'turbo boost'. To turn it on simply press down on the (+) button for 2 seconds and it begins to vibrate at a low rumble, press again and you go to the next speed and so on. Once you've reached the highest basic speed holding down the (+) button will jump the vibrations over to an escalation, with the dial of the buttons glowing in sync with the vibration pattern. Hitting the (+) button again will take it to the next pattern and so forth. In total you've got 4 patterns to run through. To turn it off simply press down on the (-) button which will lower the speeds, tap it once more and it turns off. If at any time you want to have a surge of power just press down on the 'turbo button' and the Yooo will vibrate at a hand numbing speed. Find it confusing? Yeah, so did I the first couple times around. Having said that there is definitely a learning curve.
When it comes to recharging place the charger over the Fun Factory logo and once magnetically connected, the charger will glow red. If at any time the glowing stops you may want to check for a disconnection.
Since it's water proof and made of silicone you can simply wash it with mild antibacterial soap and water, making sure to rinse it well.
When it comes to lubricants I'd only suggest a good water one as a silicone would likely ruin it over time.
In regard to ways of using it there are 3 options that I see, with the possibility of 4 if you can manage it. The first is for a nice, relaxing massage since the Yooo hugs curves in the neck and shoulders rather comfortably. The second is during foreplay to tease and taunt your partner into arousal, whether it's tracing over their nipples, inner thigh, forearms or feet. Next is clitoral stimulation and the last, which again is an option only if your capable of it - gently inserting one of the balls vaginally while the other stimulates the clitoris. It won't work for everyone, but for those that it does - enjoy!
*just keep in mind this isn't meant for anal insertion.

Experience
The first issue I had with the product was in regard to the charger; because the product connects via a magnet there were many times that I left the room only to come back and find it disconnected. Annoying, frustrating and disappointing are definitely a few words that come to mind.
Next up are the vibrations - while some may be very impressed with them I unfortunately wasn't. That's not to say it isn't relatively powerful or that the sensations aren't enjoyable, it's just that the vibration itself is very rumbly, buzzy and feels like it's sitting on the surface, rather than being a deep, heavy and completely arousing vibe. Unfortunately it seemed like the only way I could reach orgasm was by continually hitting the turbo button. Keep in mind that this is just me and my body is likely different from yours. What works for some doesn't always work for others, a point that's clearly made with my experience.
On that note, while it does have two separate motors I couldn't feel the difference between them like I did with the Lelo Ina. Yes, Ina is a different product all together, but if you can't differentiate between the sensations what was the point of doing it in the first place?
Another annoyance I found was that if the (-) button is pressed at any time during the patterns the vibrations go back to the highest setting before you hit the patterns. There is no way to quickly jump back down through the patterns should you find one you like and accidentally hit the (+) button, instead you have to run through them again til you find the one you liked.
Aside from that the buttons are rather hard to press and require a bit of force. Maybe it was just mine, maybe it was because it was new, either way it was slightly frustrating especially in the heat of the moment when hands are a tad lubed.
Finally, the shape itself leaves much to be desired as it doesn't offer much by way of overall stimulation, makes targeting one area rather difficult, and for me didn't feel the most comfortable. Not that it hurt, because it didn't, it just felt awkward and weird.

Follow-up commentary
3 months after original review
Even though it didn't really work for me I don't want to say "I don't like it anymore", especially since I can see how this might be a great product for someone else that requires the type of stimulation the vibrating balls have to offer. It's also discreet, easy to use and made from body safe material. I just find that I barely reach for it as I have other products I love more.
