Clitoral pump - vibrator by Cal Exotics - review by napalmbutterfly

The best use for this vibrator is for direct clitoral stimulation. Suited almost equally as well for pleasing other, smaller erogenous zones such as the nipples. The toy is able to be put to use by men, but meant particularly for women. The best time to use this toy is during foreplay or masturbation.

The material of the pump/vibrator is pretty run of the mill as far as adult toy material goes. The housing for the vibrator and the action end of the pump is a hard plastic shell containing a simple motor inside for the vibrator. The pump tube is a softer, translucent pink rubber, and the bulb is a heart-textured, tough rubber/plastic compound with a pressure valve to let air out, but not in. Two sleeves made of TPR silicone that fit over the head of the pump to ensure a good seal for suction. These materials are well suited to anyone of any experience range.

The shape of the toy is very straightforward. The pump bulb and the tube connect at the back of the pump, so in order to get a seal, the whole toy has to be airtight. It works exactly as it's supposed to, and for a clitoral pump, it's not too bulky or awkward to use. Most parts of this toy don't matter by way of size as long as they're not in either extreme. The end that is placed over the clitoris is not too large, so the clitoris, when pumped down, won't become too swollen even after some time of use. As far as travel, it's not too bad, but the only downside is the readily visible, simple motor (made of metal, of course) in the neck of the toy. Aside from that, a simple removal of batteries in the back of the motor housing will prevent it from going off at the slightest touch.

Not so much "functions," more like "function"...but it's not necessarily a bad thing. The one thing it does, and is supposed to do, is done well. The vibrations are located in the neck of the motor housing/handle, closer to the end of the toy that's placed over the clitoris. The two controls are located in two different parts of the toy, but for one to work, the other needs to be used first. The off/on switch is activated by a twist of the cap (connected to the tube and pump bulb) onto the handle/motor housing. The only way to get suction, when placed against skin, is to have the cap screwed tight onto the handle of the toy (an o-ring is located in the cap to ensure a seal). The pump bulb is at the very end of the toy. The noise was rather startling at first, expect something a bit loud upon the first use. Being that the pump bulb is connected at the back of the handle, that means there's air movement between the back of the toy and the very front - passing around/through the motor, that being said, it's not recommended for water. It doesn't eat batteries in one extended use or multiple uses. This toy is simple..."one speed, one gear - GO" as Charlie Sheen recently said, is an accurate descriptive of this little toy.

Care is simple, just rinse off the sleeve that goes over the head of the pump/vibrator. Storing is just as easy, putting it away somewhere free from dust will do the toy just fine. It is not recommended any toy be stored in direct contact with another toy to prevent interaction between the materials.

The packaging of the toy was typical adult toy material. A box with a half-naked woman posing on it. Do battery insertion instructions (which were only half applicable, as the batteries can be put in either way -as long as they're facing opposite directions- it'll work) count as instructions? Not as though it was needed, anyways... twisting a cap isn't too difficult, hopefully.
