Futurotic slim line ballsy - realistic vibrator discontinued by Cal Exotics - review by Miss Jane

The Futurotic Slimline Ballsy is soft and velvety to the touch, veined, and does actually look and feel quite realistic. It's a smaller vibe - thin, and has basically no ridge on the head - so it would probably be good for beginners who aren't ready to take much girth yet. It's a bit lighter than even my pale skin tone, but still looks skin-like, not a tan-colored hunk of plastic. It's slightly curved, enough to hit the G-spot if you really tried, but not enough to bother you if you prefer your vibrators straight. Even the balls look lifelike (though small). The only odd thing about this vibe is the bump on the top of the base of the shaft that looks like... well, sort of like a third testicle! However, this little nub is there for your clitoral pleasure; personally, I wouldn't mind if real men starting coming equipped with one.

Vibration-wise, this toy is in the middle of the spectrum. It runs on two AAA batteries, which gives is more of a light, humming vibration than those that run one or two AAs. It has a twist-dial on the end that turns it on and controls the level of vibration. I found it easily to change even with slightly slippery hands. It's definitely not a weak vibration: even when inserted fully I could still feel the entire thing pleasantly vibrating away. It's just not a hard or loud vibration - which is great if you want to be discreet! When fully inserted I could not hear it at all with just a sheet over me. Don't forget to take the batteries out between uses; it will keep them from corroding and prolong the life of your toy.

This vibe is made from Futurotic material, which is a compound designed feel like real, flexible skin. It's extremely porous, so you need to wash it before and after each use with mild soap and water or toy cleaner. It's safest to use it with a condom - and you definitely shouldn't share it without one. Only water-based lubes should be used with this material. It also needs to be stored in a cool, dry place (preferably in a bag of its own, as it can absorb dyes from other toys). Between uses, it also needs to be dusted with cornstarch to keep it from getting sticky, and to protect the integrity of the material. The packaging this toy comes in says to dust it with talc. Do not use talc: it has been linked to cervical cancer.

Because this toy has 'balls', it can be used anally. However, these balls are small. If you do use it anally, be CAREFUL, and always use a condom since this material is so porous.


The only possible problem I can foresee with this toy is in the tip. Where the battery pack ends, there is nothing inside the toy to make it hard. This makes the first third or so of the toy more flexible than the rest. It helps if you want to hit the g-spot or just like things softer, but it could cause problems if you need something more firm for penetration. Also, you need to be careful not to bend it too far in that area lest it break or crack.

Overall, I'm giving this toy 4/5 stars. It does what is says it does. It's not the best material, but it's very realistic, has pretty nice vibrations, and gets the job done. The extra maintenance is a bit of a hassle - but it's worth it for the velvety feel.

Overall, I liked this toy. It's not the greatest vibrator ever, but it is quite good. I really like the texture of it, and the little knob on top for clitoral stimulation is pretty awesome.

For me, the head of the vibe is a little too small - I like mine with a nice ridge. I also tend to like a harder vibration than this vibe gives. For me this will be a fun vibe to use on occasion, but won't be something I go for in the middle of the night because of the extra preparation (washing off the cornstarch).
