Bimini flash - sex toy by Fun Factory - review by winterwhite

The best feature of this vibrator is undoubtedly its versatility. I have so far found three different ways to use it and there are probably more. Used traditionally as a dual stimulator, it is a very gentle and small toy that would be a perfect first rabbit for someone a little intimidated by the larger toys. If you flip it over and use the clitoral stimulator upside down, you get weaker vibrations but the shaft will vibrate the whole vulva and even the anus depending on your configuration. Applying the shaft directly to the clitoris provides a strong direct vibration as well. This toy would be a great gift for someone who is new to toys or for someone whose toy preference you don't really know, as it works so well in so many different ways.

Also, for someone who may have smaller proportions or a tighter vagina, this toy is perfect as it is a little "squishy" to the touch and is much narrower than other rabbits.

The toy is made of silicone that is clearly very high quality. Mine had no visible seams anywhere and there are some nice smooth curves. The texture is very beginner friendly as it is perfectly smooth with even a light coating of lube and is a little soft to the touch, instead of being very firm like some larger rabbits. This material is not sticky or tacky like jelly and is very soft to the touch. There was no discernible smell with mine.

This design is actually really genius. While I'm sure that this will not function as a dual stimulator for everyone, for those who have smaller proportions or tighter vaginas, this is a perfect size. It is narrower than many other toys even of this size, so it is definitely not for size queens. The design and colors are aesthetically pretty pleasing, and it would be great as a beginner toy because it is really not at all intimidating, while still being powerful and easy to use. While not particularly discreet it is not realistic and a creative explanation could probably be invented for what it is. Very smooth and sleek looking.

The single motor in this unit is located in the shaft, directly below the stimulator extension. I found that its placement was perfect to stimulate the vaginal opening but might not be placed correctly for strong g-spot stimulation. Because of the motor placement, the clitoral extension vibrates pretty strongly, enough that it can be used by itself if you flip the toy upside down for more precise clitoral stimulation when penetration isn't wanted. The toy is surprisingly powerful for its small stature.

The pulsation modes are average. I found that for some reason, when in a pulse mode, the vibrations seemed weaker than when in a non-pulsating mode, which I found a bit strange, since you must turn the toy all the way up to use these modes. The controls are convenient and I appreciated that they are differently sized, since when in use they are on the bottom of the toy. They are covered in the same silicone as the rest of the toy and are easy to find and push even when slippery. Buttons are self-explanatory, plus to turn it up, and once it's all the way up, plus again to enter the pulsation modes.

The toy, when not inserted, emits a fairly audible buzz, but when inserted is very quiet and I doubt you could hear it through a closed door in either situation. I haven't tried it in the water but I imagine it would be quiet underwater as well.

The toy is rechargeable and the charger is small and discreet. It took about 2 hours to fully charge and gave about 2 hours of use for that charge.

Since this toy is waterproof, cleanup is a breeze. Clean with antibacterial soap and water, and you're good, no worrying about splashing a battery compartment or anything else. Since it's full silicone, it's not compatible with silicone lubricants and should be stored such that it doesn't touch any other toys, but its small size makes it easy to store without much hassle. The compatibility of other fun factory toys with the same charging unit is a big plus as well, as keeping track of chargers for rechargeable toys can be a hassle.

The toy comes in Fun Factory's standard magnet-happy packaging. The packaging is quality without being over the top as with some pricier toys--personally, I am happy to see a lower price point with less extreme packaging. It is worth noting that the charger is packaged separately in a small square box, so if giving as a gift there are two boxes with this toy. The user instructions were a bit hard to read (small text and a lot of languages), but the toy is pretty basic to use. The packaging is classy, but not discreet, in the way that for example Lelo items are packaged, and I wouldn't plan to use it for storage later on. The packaging would still look nice gift wrapped for a private moment though.

I am a big fan of dual stimulators and was really on the fence about buying this toy because I wasn't sure it was actually large enough to function well as a dual stimulator. However, it turned out to be perfect for me because its smaller size was a lot more comfortable and the motor was powerful without being totally overwhelming. I find the larger toys physically difficult or painful to insert, so this one was really refreshing to use. While I'm not a beginner with toys, I think the overall flexibility of this toy and ease of use would make it a great first toy and I highly recommend it even for seasoned users looking for something smaller for travel or partner play.

I used this toy for the first time as a traditional dual stimulator. It took a few minutes to find the perfect placement just because of how short the clitoral extension is but it did the job really nicely once properly manipulated. I gave it a quick spin through the pulsation modes, but I tend not to use those and was equally underwhelmed by these ones so quickly gave up on those. I found the vibrations surprisingly strong for such a small toy and was really pleasantly surprised by the whole experience and how comfortable the toy was for me. I am a big fan of Fun Factory and think these toys represent an excellent value and this one in particular would be a very safe, versatile choice for a gift.
