A Little More Than I Expected

I LOVE this toy. It is worth the price tag. The vibrations were stronger than I expected based on the description of this toy.
Published: December 17, 2010
Pros:
Silent, sleek and smooth, waterproof, can be sanitized and shared, can be used with any lube
Cons:
Unsure if it's waterproof if it's not on

Use

This is best used as an internal toy (but not for your butt because it has no base). You can use it externally, but I personally think it's better internally. This toy is great for anybody who is willing to spend this kind of money on a vibrator. However, I assure you it's well worth the money.

Material / Texture

Little Chroma is made from anodized aluminum (unlike its precious metal counterparts Little Gold and Little Platinum, which are made with a stainless steel base) making it non porous, body safe, and easily cleaned or sterilized. Aluminum is not as dense as steel, which I would suspect makes it SLIGHTLY lighter in weight than its steel bodied brothers. Steel also holds temperatures longer. Since this is a metal toy and can be used for temperature play, you'll want to chose between light weight or ability to hold temperature. Let's be real here: they are both metal and both can be made hot and cold. You just have to choose which you like better (though for me the choice lies with what look I like best and how much it costs).
    • Not porous at all
    • Rigid
    • Smooth

Design / Shape / Size

In every way I was impressed with Little Chroma. It felt good in my hand as soon as I opened the box. Nice weight. Nice shape. The cap was a tad hard to twist in all the way, but after reading the small manual that comes with it, I found a recommendation to put a TINY but of petroleum jelly on the threading of the cap. It worked like a charm. At 5.25 inches long and .67 inches in diameter, in my hand it seemed slightly bigger than all the photos I've seen. It's just as shiny but has a very slight texture on the metal that I didn't expect. I have the black one. I don't know if the purple or red ones are different. It is VERY quiet and will not be heard behind closed doors or in the bathroom where volumes multiply (that's right it's 100% water proof). It can fit between two bodies during intercourse. However, in my experience, because this toy is by no means soft, I was very aware of its existence. It didn't hurt but I would prefer a softer clit toy during intercourse. The same is not true for all sex positions.

    • Discreet look/design
    • Partner play

Functions / Performance / Controls

Jimmy Jane says somewhere in the packaging "one speed, but the right speed". It's true. I've learned from several sources before buying this toy that it has only one speed. A deep resonating vibration that is tuned to the "human frequency". This is true also. I expected this vibrator to be a little on the weak side but still feel good, more of a self exploration kind of toy. When I first turned it on, (battery included) I was a little surprised. It's not one of those get you there in 30 second toys, but it's still pretty sweet. It takes only one battery and is the world's only toy with a replaceable motor, which is the size of a battery and is a fraction of the cost of the toy itself. This is why they call it "everlasting".
    • Discreet sound
    • Easy to use
    • Long lasting power

Care and Maintenance

Because this toy is made of metal, you can remove the inside parts (battery and motor) and throw it in the dishwasher or boil it for an ultimate clean. You can even bleach it with the appropriate bleach to water ratio of course. These three disinfecting methods allow you to share this toy with a partner. For personal use only you can clean it with toy cleaner of course, but since it's water proof, if you happen to be using it in the shower/bathtub, you can clean it right after use with mild soap and water.

Packaging

Little Chroma comes in a thin box with no vulgar language, descriptions, or images. The cardboard box is sealed at both ends with a circular piece of tape (which is some of the thickest I've seen by the way). Once you have removed the tape, the box easily opens to reveal a small instruction guide and the toy itself tucked inside another piece of cardboard. The packaging is small, streamlined, and easy to open.
    • Discreet looking packaging
    • Very informative
    • Would make a nice gift

Personal comments

My ONE AND ONLY complaint about this vibrator is that I don't feel secure with turning it off when it's in water. What makes a toy like this waterproof is having the end screwed completely on and secured by the o-rings between the cap and the body. I realized when I have it in the shower, that it has to be turned on the whole time. It would have been nice if there was an on and off button or another alternative to unscrewing the cap to be turned off.
Follow-up commentary
I still LOVE little chroma! Its not my go to toy, and I don't use it every time; but its SO special to me and I do use it frequently. Its safe to say its in my top 3. I recently hurt my neck and I'm in physical therapy. I like to use this on my neck because of its resonating vibrations. Still so in love with the little chroma.

I must be missing something. Everyone seems to love this item but to me it looks plain. Then again, none (apart from maybe the candles) of Jimmyjanes products do anything for me - visually. Guess that saying is correct - don't judge a book by it's cover!

Cheers

Great review. I loved how you pointed out the differences between the Chroma and the Steel toys. Thanks so much!

12/18/2010

I've read other reviews where they mentioned that this toy is not waterproof unless it is turned on (for the reason you described). So your assessment is correct there!

Thanks for the review. I'd love to try this.

Great review! I love hearing people say good things about this vibrator because I think it gets overlooked far too often. It's one of my absolute favorites.

@Shellz, I own and LOVE this vibrator but also think it looks pretty boring. What's amazing (to me) about it is that it can last pretty much forever; the aluminum shouldn't degrade if you take good care of it, and the motor can be removed and replaced by the company! Besides that it's surprisingly penetrating and powerful, although I do hate that it isn't rechargeable. But yeah, more about the function than the look!

  • Price vs little chroma
    • Is the price worth the little chroma??? any one with long term useage?
    • Quote: Is the price worth the little chroma??? any one with long term useage?
      I have bought 2. The first chipped on concrete while transporting it to my boyfriends house. I think it had repeated shocks to the motor because I was dropping it while I was getting out of the bath. Then the motor became noisy and not so effective. I moved on to my eroscillator for a while, but eventually I bought another little choma because I missed it so much. So yes, I think it is worth it. And if you look after it it will look after you. Tie a strap around the end of the little chroma if you're going to use it in the shower so then you won't drop it. This is easily done, there are holes for such a strap. If transporting it elsewhere keep it in a nice safe pouch. Don't grab it on the way out of the house without putting it away in your bag anyhow. You may regret it later.

      As far as vibrators go, my clitoris is an extremely fussy girl. I can get off with the eroscillator or the little chroma, but anything else has honestly been rather a difficult endeavour. I've tried decent bullets and pocket rockets and traditional vibrators but none has come close. I've tried a vibrator with weird patterns. Honestly, all you need is this one speed. It varies in intensity across the shaft. The little chroma has a decent power at a discreet noise level. It also has a beautiful hard smoothness and doesn't cause irritation. As goldilocks would say 'It's just right'. Just make sure your batteries are charged (the only ones that fit are eneloop), or get some fresh non-rechargable ones before you judge its power.

      Plus they are pretty!

      LOL I hope you enjoy my mini review. You can read my full review on the site too if you like.

  • Jimmyjane where you at???
    • So I've been looking into Jimmyjane more and more the past few months after all the hype finally got to me. The toy that seems to tickle my fancy the most would be the little chroma. The whole high quality, small, sleek, simple, quiet, waterproof, metal thing really gets me going. However, the sexiest version of the toy for me is the steel version *pictures it sitting innocently next to my mac, complemented by the brushed steel lamp on the bedside table*, which costs a whopping $195. Now, I'm okay with spending the money on a single toy, as long as it's the right toy. Trouble is, I've been to maybe 12 adult toy stores in three different cities around my state, NC, and not only did the majority of them not carry Jimmyjane toys, the only ones that did were adam and eve and although the chain carries a few of the toys, the specific stores did not. What's worse, some of the other stores had never even heard of Jimmyjane. And yeah, it took some effort to not exclaim "and you do this for a living?!?!" Anyways...

      Not being able to see, touch, test/witness the vibration of the toys before hand is a big problem to me, especially when dealing with such expensive toys.

      Does anyone have any idea where I can get my hands on any of their friggin products? I mean sheesh, I'd be willing to make a minitrip to a surrounding state for funzies at this point. SEX TOY ROADTRIP! I just have to lay my eyes on em, ya know? Sneaky little things... Has anyone else had the same experience with not being able to find them?

      Or can anyone who owns a little chroma/little something offer a more specific comparison of power to some other more available and comparable toy? I've read all the reviews on this site as well as others. I just want something more like, "at the strongest point it feels similar in intensity to the (#) setting of (manufacturer)'s (toy name)." If that's at all possible...
    • Might I suggest sending one of the reviewers a message and asking them? I would bet Sam, Owl, Darling Jen or wetone123 (among others) would be happy to help. :) You may look to see what vibes they have to see if you happen to have them too, that would give you a better idea on the comparison.
    • JimmyJane is based in San Francisco and you can see their products displayed at many of the top-tier sex boutiques around the US. They have a list of retailers on their website.

  • $1,650 for a six piece set of Jimmyjane vibes?
    • Would you buy this Jimmyjane "Ultimate Members" set for $1,650? link
    • Quote: Would you buy this Jimmyjane "Ultimate Members" set for $1,650? link
      HELL NO!

      But I'm not a Jimmyjane fan. The look of their toys (expect the Form 6) don't do anything for me.
    • I've never understood having more than one of the same toy. I would much rather spend that $1650 on a variety of toys.
