We-Vibe Chorus App and Remote Control Coupleās Vibrator
Managing an orgasm during penetrative sex has always been something that has alluded me. Yes, any woman can hold a toy to her clit during sex, but I have never been a huge fan of this, as I have always felt it detracted my attention from the intimacy Iām enjoying with my husband: an add-on, something else to focus my attention on, and therefore I have never been a massive fan of it. We have also tried various cock rings, but they have never really got me anywhere close to an actual orgasm. I had just resigned myself that, as much as I deeply enjoy sex with my husband, being brought to orgasm by sex itself was just always going to be very unlikely to happen.
Imagine then our delight to find a toy whereby this is no longer the case. I was initially very sceptical, looking at the shape and size of the toy that it would even be comfortable! But, a five minute quickie, in missionary position is now my cast-iron guaranteed route to back-arching, vocal, cramp-inducing bliss.
As you would expect from We-Vibe, it is a superior toy in terms of build quality: itās soft, robust, and I expect it to last for a long time. Yes they are expensive, but the more toys I buy, the more I believe it is money well spent. As Iāve already mentioned, I was sceptical of the size of the toy and how comfortable it would be, both internal and external, but whoever designed it deserves a medal: large enough and broad enough to make it odds-on that it will touch all the right places, but not intrusively large, and certainly doesnāt feel like there is a hefty chunk of silicone between myself and my husband.
There is a degree of flex between the G-spot and clit portions of the toy, again allowing for careful, tailor-made positioning. Another indicator of the amount of thought that has gone into its production is the ability, via the App, to separately adapt the level of vibrations to each portion of the toy. A word of caution though: if you are having a play with the various functions post-orgasm, as we have done on many, many evenings, just check you havenāt accidentally turned one set of vibrations all the way down, as we did one evening. The following day was the only time I didnāt orgasm, and we didnāt realise at the time because you can feel some of the vibrations from the other end.
The tech side of the toy was, for us, the only downside. If you enjoy trying out different vibe patterns, and the thrill of handing over control to a partner via their phone, then you will disagree. I just donāt āget itā with this toy: yes the vibrations are strong, but for me, what got me to orgasm was the movement of my husband whilst we had sex. If geographically separated, or out in public, this for me isnāt the kind of toy you can wear comfortably for discreet fun of that kind. The second aspect of this feeling like ātech for the sake of techā is the squeeze control. You have to change modes to be able to use this instead of the function buttons, and we did not find it anymore useful than it would have been, for instance, if they had just made the currently minuscule buttons on the remote massive and therefore clearly identifiable, by touch, as a āplusā and āminusā icon.
If you are going to play remotely, you need to ensure you have a good connection, 4G or reliable Wi-Fi: sounds obvious, but using this toy in our bedroom lead to continued connectivity cut-outs, but it worked without fault in our lounge, and the only difference was two, as opposed to three, bars of Wi-Fi signal strength. The person controlling via the second phone will also need to keep the App open, as it will cut out the connection after about thirty seconds if you close the App, so communicating only via the in-App messages is vital.
The App continually said that the battery for the toy was low, leading to concerns about how many times it would need charging, but this warning appears to be a bug rather than a fault. What is bizarre regarding batteries, however, is that the remote requires a coin battery, whereas the toy itself has its own snazzy, little, magnetic, recharging docking station. Given how much this toy costs, it struck me as a bizarre decision not to have both parts of the toy rechargeable. My advice: stock up on coin batteries, because you are entirely stuffed in terms of being able to do anything other than turn the toy on and off if the remote doesnāt work; the App and phone controls work via the remote, rather than the toy itself.
So, the tech side of this isnāt something we are particularly enamoured with on the basis that this just doesnāt seem necessary for a toy designed to be used, literally, between two people having sex.
Despite these grumbles, do I love it? Yes. Has it completely, unequivocally improved the enjoyment of a five minute missionary quickie? Yes. If I had to get rid of all but one of my toys, would this be the one I keep? Absolutely!
