Angelo - g-spot vibrator by Fun Factory - review by Carrie Ann

Turns out Angelo is average.

Not good. Not bad. Just middle of the road. A shame, since most Fun Factory toys are pretty much excellent in my book.

The Angelo is a mini vibe with a curved, tapered tip that would be good for g-spot stimulation if you have a very shallow g-spot or don't need a lot of pressure. Because it is soft and plush, however, those who need pressure or have a deeper g-spot just aren't going to get much internal stimulation from its 4" insertable length.

The Angelo does work fairly well for labial or clitoral stimulation, the tapered tip making it easy to pinpoint your pleasure spots, the matte silicone providing a very nice, light drag against the flesh - almost like skin on skin. It's not a tiny, skinny vibe, either, despite its short length. It measures in at 1.5" in diameter so it's got some substance to it, can cover a decent amount of the vulva if you like a less pointy vibe. Just use the part of the shaft after the tip and you get all the vibes without the pointy. You also get to enjoy the minimal but interesting texture on the shaft.

The Angelo is also water resistant - good for shower use, easy to clean under running water and can even be taken in the bath, though I wouldn't submerge it for super long periods. It has an o-ring but anything that is not completely closed (like the form 6 or the bubbles) *can* leak if submerged too long.

Buttons under the silicone in the lower part of the shaft control vibrations; plus for on and up, minus for down and off. There are 7 (maybe 8?) levels of constant vibrations, starting at a very low hum and three very basic pulsation patterns. Batteries go in easily, simply unscrew the battery cover, put them in one up, one down, screw back on.

I guess my real issue with the Angelo is its power. Normally, Fun Factory toys are pretty strong, with deep, low frequency vibrations. The Angelo just isn't very strong. I'm not a power hungry type, either. I'm usually quite happy with toys that are a 3 on the bee scale. Something about the Angelo just doesn't feel right, though. It runs on 2 AAA batteries and the silicone is typically dense so perhaps the motor just can't quite get enough oomph to transmit thru all that lovely silicone.

It is very quiet, is probably excellent as a first vibe for a sensitive user or someone who has issues with needing something small and silent. (Roommates, dorm, that sort of thing) But for most of us, it's just not going to be enough for more than a tease.

Use water based lube with this one unless you do a patch test first. It's not anal safe but it can be sanitized with a mild bleach solution, so it's safe to share.

I feel bad every time I mark something as "I don't like it anymore" but the fact is, for me, on a personal level, the Angelo just isn't enough in any way, especially compared the the click n charge mini vibes.

I do believe it makes a wonderful beginner vibe for someone looking for moderate vibration, good materials and moderate size but, for someone with a lot of experience, it just falls a bit short.

Like all Fun Factory toys, however, it holds up remarkably and is still going strong, does not eat batteries too rapidly and is very easy to use and control. Good for a lot of users, I'm sure, just not so much for me. :(
