Not All It's Cracked Up To Be!
This vibrator could be an amazing clitoral vibrator for couples if it didn't have the problem with glitching every time I used it at higher intensity levels. This means that it has very limited use because you can only use it on the lowest setting. Overall, I don't think it is worth the price and would look elsewhere for a clitoral vibrator.Published: June 20, 2011
Pros:
- Unique shape
- High quality silicone
- Convenient to charge with rechargeable base
- High quality silicone
- Convenient to charge with rechargeable base
Cons:
- Vibrator glitched whenever it was used over the second intensity level
My husband and I were really excited about this vibrator. We are relatively new to using sex toys and we have been trying a few different things to find out what would work. We have been looking for a clitoral vibrator that we could use together and during sex. I liked this vibrator the moment I saw it. I thought that the unique shape of it would be perfect, as it mimics fingers. I found the price really steep, especially being new to the whole thing and not quite sure about everything, but I decided to go for it. We impatiently waited for it to come in the mail and tried it out as soon as it arrived.
At first I absolutely loved it. I only had to use it on the lowest setting to get off. As I adjusted to it, I tried the different settings and intensities and found out just how disappointed I was with it. Every time I tried to go over the second level of intensity, it glitched. It would lose all vibrations in the fingers and make a horrendous noise. No matter what setting I tried it on, every time I tried to go to a higher intensity, it would glitch. This was really annoying. I found that I didn't want to use it after awhile since it wouldn't work properly.
The glitching was especially disappointing because it is a very good vibrator otherwise. I love the shape of it. It allows you to pinpoint exactly where you want the stimulation. I like the fact that it is made of silicone, although I found that I had to use a lot of water based lube with it as it could get irritating if I didn't. It is really easy to clean. The charger is awesome as you can just place it on the base to recharge at any time. It also holds its charge really well. The size is perfect for couples. Both my husband and I found that you could easily use it during sex without it getting in the way. It also gives fairly intense vibrations with minimal noise.
Overall, I would have highly recommended this vibrator if not for the glitching. Because there is definitely a real problem with the function of it, I don't think it is worth the price. Personally, I'm going back to the drawing board and looking for a new luxury vibrator, one that will actually work the way it is supposed to!

Follow-up commentary
2 months after original review
I have to admit that the Form 2 has really started to grow on me. Since I wrote my review on it (and I realize it wasn't the greatest review, as it was the first one I ever wrote and I should have included much more!), I actually ended up returning my Form 2 to JimmyJane. After the comments about my review, it got me to thinking that maybe this glitch would be covered under the warranty (I have no idea why I didn't think of this before...I just thought that was what the Form 2 was like). JimmyJane was great about it and sent me a new one (although I did have to pay to ship the old one back).
Talk about a night and day difference! Although the new one still can glitch if you put pressure on the ears a certain way, it is much, much better than the first one I had! You can actually use it at a speed higher than the second setting! And it holds the vibrations in the ears pretty decently. This has become my go to clitoral vibrator (over the Zini Seed) as it is more powerful and offers unique pinpoint precision. I especially like the fact that the vibrations can be felt on both sides of the clitoris at one time.
So, for someone looking for a luxury, waterproof, medical grade silicone clitoral vibrator, this may just be the one for you. And the fact that it has the rechargeable base is awesome. You just set it in the base when not in use and it's charged and ready to go whenever you need it! I would recommend proceeding with caution though, as the Form 2 you get could quite possibly have the dreaded glitch, but if that occurs, don't hesitate to return it to get a new one. Once you get one that actually works, it is worth the hassle!

Is the Form 2 strong?
-
is it strong vibe?
-
Judging from the page and the reviews, I would say yes. I like power and I have actually wish listed it and plan on getting it after I get the other toy I'm saving for.
4 vrooms is a good deal. -

Jimmyjane Form 2: heating up?
-
Has anyone else experienced heat coming off the Jimmyjane Form 2 in use? This hasn't happened with the other vibrators I've tried, and I'm a little concerned.
-
Mine heats up a little, but not any more than most other toys do. If it's getting really hot you might want to return it.

is jimmy jane a good brand , i never heard nothing about it or use there products, but can you recommend me a toy by them, the best they have thanks, which toy by jimmy jane is the best choice?

Just try reading reviews from products you find interesting. Often, reviewers will compare products that they've used in the reviews. No one can tell you which toy is best for you. They don't have a "best product" and every toy is going to work out better or worse for each person.

Its all about what you like and want in a toy, that's how you should decide what the "best product" is.

Form 2 Strength Comparison?
-
So, Form 2 has been the toy that I want for a long time. It just seems to perfect... I have to have it!
However, I'm quite fond of strong vibrators. I use my GiGi as a clit vibrator and while it does wonders it never makes me orgasm hard (and I've never squirted from using it, sadly. Though this may be just on my end.)
So I was wondering - compared to a few vibrators (think of MiMi, Siri, etc), how does this compare strength wise?
Thanks everyone! :D -
It's about the same strength as MiMi, stronger than Siri or Gigi.

Quote: So, Form 2 has been the toy that I want for a long time. It just seems to perfect... I have to have it!I would say this one has an edge over the MiMi, Siri, Gigi, etc as you can really pinpoint the focus of your vibrations. the ears are excellent for cradling your clit vertically or horizontally as opposed to just being on one plane with the others. I find because of the focused vibrations that I don't need to go past 2 or 3 and it goes all the way to 5! The only downside is the "built-in" motor shutoff you may encounter when using it. I was told by JJ customer service that it was meant to protect the device but dangit if it isn't frustrating when you're so close and then it stalls on you!!! That is where any other vibe would pick up the Form 2 slack as they don't have a "stall" out point.

It's a strange looking toy to me. But I'm intrigued by it.

Form 2 Reviews?
-
I just wanted to know if there were any reviews coming up here on EF or in the works elsewhere about this one. Please feel free to chuck me a link if you've seen a good one elsewhere! I'm curious about it and would love to see if it's living up to its hype.
On an unrelated note, are EF going to stock this in the pink as well? I saw someone asked this when it first came into stock but I don't recall seeing an answer. -

Thank you for viewing Form 2 – vibrator review page!
What size is this toy? You may have to send it back as it sounds like it is a damaged toy. Thanks for the review.
I found this review very useful. I don;t think I'll be getting a form 2
We've heard of this glitch before from another owner of the Form 2. Guess it's coming off of our wishlist too.
just heard of these recently glad to be able to read the reviews ty!
The vibe isn't that large, maybe 3" long and 2" wide. Each of the fingers is about a 1/2" or so wide. We've had the vibe for quite awhile now (over a year at least). It never worked quite right but it didn't glitch that bad in the beginning. It's been getting progressively worse though.
Thanks for the review. This just looks painful to me.
Size? Texture? Sorry it didn't work out for you!
The texture of the Form 2 is really nice, it's quick silky. The only thing is, is fuzz sticks to it like crazy! I like the fact that it is 100% silicone and easy to clean though.
Ours does not really seem to have the glitch, but I just don't see the love for this as a couples toy. As much as I tried to like it. it did nothing for me.
I agree, I really wanted to love this one. I was hoping it would end my search for a clit vibrator...but the search continues.
Thanks for the review.
Thanks for sharing!
I would like to thank you for this review. It is very good and I am glad for your followup which tells of how the first toy had been defective and the new one works much better, this has put me at ease! I would like to know if there is a way to modify your rating on the first one? I almost stopped reading and decided against this vibe but luckily continued through to find out it was a defective model and this may have put off many other people as well.
Very helpful follow up! I'm glad the new one works so much better, that is really good to hear.
Thanks for following up! I too wonder if there is a way to update your initial rating. It can be a real turn off to see that people have given a toy such a low rating, especially when not *too* many people have reviewed it. Really unfortunate when as it happened in your case, you ended up liking the toy a lot more.
that sucks about the glitch, I wonder if you can make use of the JJ warranty?
Thanks for the review!
I'm glad to hear the replacement worked better for you!
