kate; uncensored

I received a package from Tabutoys.

I was excited. I love toys, I love weighing their good points and bad and was eager to try something for my first official review, courtesy of this company.

I have ordered adult toys from them before, and as usual, their package was innocuous.

I was happy to open the box and find such a special little package. Nookii Ooh La
La Rabbit Vibrator. The toy came wrapped in a cylindrical tube with little round cards and a blindfold.

They were kind enough to enclose a small bottle of lube and 4 aa batteries. Although, I have to say, it would be more useful if the toy actually took 4 aa batteries. It takes a 9V so my excitement was put on hold as I didn’t have any of those around the house. Then I kept forgetting to pick them up.

A handful of days later I found myself alone, with the proper batteries in place and thought I’d take it for a trial run. I had played with the controls when I bought the batteries. My boyfriend and I laughed, because it seemed loud and rather large, but I was unprepared for both these issues coming in to play. I don’t mind noise. I am not trying to keep silent or discreet, but if that is an issue, then certainly some of the settings on this Nookii vibe will not be your friend.

I am a fan of texture. Some of my favorite dildos and vibrators have had quite a lot of it going on, but this was all too much. The nubs seemed to irritate rather than please. I thought it was a lubrication issue, but a second time at it, with my boyfriend’s help reassured me that this wasn’t the case.

The rabbit ears were long. This is a problem I’ve run into before, I suppose maybe the distance between my parts is less than average. Maybe I am built funny, but it wasn’t working for me. I wasn’t keen on the settings either, it was entirely too easy to switch or turn them off accidentally.

I was very pleased with the materials. Ever since I became a cancer survivor, I am careful and cautious of many adult products and admire a company that seems so committed to keeping their products safe from phthalates.

Overall, it was just not for me. I gave it a second chance in the hands of my lover, but even then, I just didn’t get into this toy. It was not terribly unpleasant, just something I not would find myself using again.

Thank you TabuToys for the opportunity to review the Nookii vibe.
