Womanizer Duo Review
*This review originally appeared on the Forbidden Apple blog*My Initial Impression
When I first heard about the Womanizer Duo I'll have to admit, the name threw me. My mind immediately went to the usual definition of Womanizer and I wasn't sure if it was even something I wanted to try. Let me tell you, I'm so glad I did.
My Experience
The out of body experience that I was to have swept all doubts to the side, elevated my consciousness, and reminded me what it was like to startle the neighbors with the sounds coming out of my bedroom. If you are looking for a toy that will rock your world and get you to where you need to be in a hurry, this may be the one for you. It's a toe curling, body shaking, moan inducing experience that left me contemplating the very meaning of life as I know it. I do have to warn you that you want to be laying down when you use this toy for the first time, not sitting on the edge of the tub like I was.
Now let's get down to the details, shall we.
The Materials
Let's start with the medical grade silicone. If you have ever had a reaction to a toy's materials you'll know how important it is to have something that is hypoallergenic and medical grade. The Duo has a super soft silicon skin that fits the bill. During my use I had absolutely no issues with irritation, which is amazing, as I have had reactions in the past.
The Functions
Before I dive into the different intensity levels, vibration modes, and Pleasure Air Technology, let's talk about the 'Smart Silence' feature. I was a bit confused in the beginning as to exactly what that meant so I thought I would give a bit of clarification for those of you who will be trying it out. Here is what the company says.
I'm here to confirm that this description couldn't be more accurate. I admit that I read 'Smart Silence' and assumed it mean quite vibrations and I could be sneaky about when and where I used the Duo. Had I read this in the beginning I probably could have saved myself some awkward discussion, but alas I'm not one for reading directions until I absolutely need to. A pro is that it does go into standby mode when it should and that part is nice. No more fumbling for the off button in a hurry. It just knows. The con to this new feature is that while it is in contact with your body, it's just as noisy as probably every toy that has called a body orifice home. However, the different intensity levels and pleasure air technology more than make up for a bit of noise.
What's your definition of 'makes up for it'? Well, I'm glad you asked.
Lend a Hand
Clitoral stimulation can make or break a play session, especially when it comes to solo play. There are just too many pleasure points to take care of and we only have so many hands to do that with. Then there are people like me, who can't pat their head and rub their belly at the same time, which translates into having to choose stimulation or controlling penetration most of the time. Not any more!
The Pleasure Air Technology description from the manufacturer's site is below.
Good Vibes
Gentle air vibrations may be an understatement when it comes to this function. It takes a bit to get used to the placement of the stimulation head as well as which size is most beneficial to you, but once you do, be prepared to experience your new favorite sensation. Dear Lord! Once I had the placement right the combination of the vibration, sucking, and massage had me questioning whether my clit had ever been stimulated before as I cycled through the 12 different settings.
Good Range
Starting on the low end, it was a slow roll of a wave teasing out that first initial sudden of pleasure when your partner is exploring you for the first time. Amping it up to a middle setting caused me to feel that constant throbbing that I know you know. The one where when it hits you randomly, you're like, I really really need to take care of this soon or I'm going to explode. Yeah, that one. It was at this point I had a moment of genius and decided to skip right to the top of the tier and ramp not only the air vibrations to 12, but the vibrations on the internal stimulator as well. The orgasm that rocked my body had me seeing sounds and hearing colors. I'm also pretty sure that set a new record for just how hard the orgasm was. This is the part of my tale that I need to mention the fact the Duo is rated as Waterproof IPX7. If you're a squirter this is going to be an important and possibly determining factor. You can let loose and not worry about ruining it. It also means that you can use it in the tub, shower, pool, pretty much any place where water is going to be involved.
Power
If all that I shared has peaked your interest, I have a few more things that will seal the deal. The Duo charges via USB and magnetic charging pins, so NO MORE BATTERIES! No more getting comfortable and pushing the power button just to find that the batteries are dead. No more having to search frantically for batteries. The charges lasts quite a while and if by chance you have run it down, throwing it on the USB charge will have you back up and running within the hour. Honestly within about 15 minutes for a quick session that will see you through until you are able to give it a full charge. The white LED light on the stimulator head will let you know where charging stands with a quick glance.
This last part is more of a it takes care of you so you should take of it type deal. The Duo comes with a silk storage bag, small whip, and Womanizer coins, so when you aren't using it, you can tuck your new found friend into its luxurious silk jammies until you are ready for your next adult playdate.
