Liberte - discreet vibrator by Extase - review by Kitt Katt

I have been slowly expanding my collection of small clitoral vibrators to keep in my nightstand drawer next to my bed, so I was very excited to try the Liberté Sensual Massager by Extase. When it arrived in the mail, I was a little surprised by how small it was, but the size makes for a discreet vibe that stores and travels easily. I have a PicoBong Kiki C-Vibe and the Liberté is just a little longer than the Kiki.


Shape/Size/Features
The Liberté is small and discreet at a mere length of just under 4” long. It is made of hard phthalates-free ABS plastic. It is shaped sort of like a finger with a rounded slight curve at the tip and a more rounded base which houses the motor. At the end of the base is a small window which illuminates with a soft blue LED indicator light over a pretty little flowery design to show when it is turned on and when it is charging. Additionally, there is a port on the side of the base for plugging in the charger and it is covered with a soft silicone grey cap.

At the rounded base of the vibe there is a slightly raised hour-glass shaped interface dial. To turn the vibe on and off, simply press and hold down either button on the interface dial. Pressing either button while the vibe is turned on will cycle through these seven different speed settings:

• first, a steady thrumming vibration
• the next two settings increase the vibration
• the fourth setting adds a short pulse followed by a steady vibration
• the fifth setting adds two short pulses followed by a steady vibration
• the sixth setting is a more thrumming pulse followed by a steady vibration
• the seventh setting is a kind of gradually increasing chugging vibration

The vibe can be locked to prevent it from accidentally engaging. To lock it, hold both buttons down simultaneously until the LED display window lights up. To unlock, simply repeat the process. Charging the Liberté will automatically unlock it. When the charge is low, the LED display will light up with a soft red glow.

The vibe can be charged using the 3’ long USB cord or simply attach it to the included adapter and plug in to any standard wall receptacle. The LED light on the vibe pulses while it’s charging and turns into a steady glow when it is finished. The charger is small, thin, and compact with folding prongs which makes it ideal for storage and travel.



Packaging and Care
The Liberté comes in a small jewelry box type of packaging. It is not terribly discreet, but not overtly obvious that it is a clit vibe. The top of the white cover of the box contains a picture of the vibe with the label Liberté Sensual Massager. Each of the longer sides have a smaller picture with the label and a list of the main features of the vibe. On each of the smaller ends of the box is the Extase logo which proudly proclaims “Pleasure Awaits.” Beneath the cover is a nice rigid fuscia colored box with a soft, foam insert cut-out for the vibe. Underneath this is a pull out drawer with a lid which stores the battery charger, a very nice soft satin drawstring bag to store the vibe, an instruction booklet, and a small color pamphlet showing other toys in the Extase line of products.



The Liberté Sensual Massager has no discernible odor or taste whatsoever. To clean, simply use antibacterial soap and hot water. The instruction booklet advises to “never use massage oil and hand cream as lubricants or cleansers containing alcohol, petrol or acetone.” Never submerge it in water or allow water to get in the charger port or around the interface dial.

As I said, I have been slowly adding to my collection of c-vibes, and this one is a nice addition; however, it more than likely will not get used nearly as much as my other vibes because it is a little louder and it’s plastic instead of silicone. I have used it a few times in order to write a fair review, but I find the buzzy vibrations to be a distraction when I am trying to bring myself off. On the plus side, I find the ergonomic design makes it easy to hold and use. For my collection, this is a good mid-point vibe. The PicoBong Kiki is not as strong as the Liberte but is much quieter and less expensive. For the price, the Lelo Siri is a much better option as it is incredibly quiet with considerably stronger vibrations.
