Venus bumble bee - g-spot strap-on vibrator discontinued by Cal Exotics - review by Mr. I

Venus Bumble Bee is the result of combining a strap-on vibrator (Venus Butterfly) with Betty's Jelly Bumble Bee, a strap-on dildo that also vibrates. It probably has the best features of both, my wife and I were both happy with its performance.

The toy secures around the women's thighs and waist with three elastic straps: two straps go around the women's thighs, and the third one around her waist; the elastic straps are also adjustable. Although thin and delicate, the straps secure this toy pretty well. However, as we learned when we used it for the first time, for vigorous play these straps might not secure the toy as snugly as some may want. But you can always use a separate harness to secure it really tightly; we realized that it fits snugly in the Bikini Harness, and we used it so with great success.

The base, which is meant to sit on the women's external genitals, has about a dozen protuberances and encloses a vibrating egg; which although cannot be seen, can certainly be felt. At first, we were worried that because of their hardness and size, these protuberances would hurt when pressed against her delicate parts. As my wife and I learned when we used it, this worry is legitimate. If the pressure is strong, these nubs can hurt a bit, but not too much. However, the nubs can also be pleasurable for her, especially when used in combination with the vibrator.

A second vibrating egg is located inside the shaft, somewhere between the head and the middle of the shaft. The nice thing about this strap-on dildo is that each partner can control the vibrations for each egg separately. This is done with a nicely designed remote control; which, as my wife laughingly remarked, resembles a Star Trek phaser. The remote takes 3 AA batteries, and has 5 levels of vibration for each vibrator. Red LED lights indicate each vibration level for either vibrator. If the batteries are fresh, the vibrations can be very powerful at the last setting; we used only the first three levels or so. We also liked the fact that this toy is quite silent, for we don’t like loud toys.

The shaft is nicely colored; pink on the left side and white on the right side. Its size and thickness are satisfying (it is slightly thicker at the base) and it has several vein-like ridges on the upper part. This feature was welcomed, since we both prefer some texture along the shaft of our toys. The shaft is also curved, which is another feature that we really like. This toy feels very pleasurable and performs really well when used either anally or vaginally.

We both found the Venus Bumble Bee very satisfying and we would recommend it to any couple that likes strap-on play. I would say that it is better than many other, more expensive strap-ons.
