Bsoft - clitoral stimulator by B Swish - review by SweetSaffron

This is a neat little rechargeable clitoral vibrator. It can also be used to stimulate the labia if you enjoy vibration there, though it doesn't do much for me. The bottom is nicely curved with a little lip at the tip, and I found the strongest vibration to be located just behind the tip. Moving farther back gives a gentler vibration, which is great for those who need a little less intensity. This could easily be used with a partner as foreplay, and could easily be used to tease nipples or any other sensitive spot as well. Used solo, it works great alone or with an internal toy as well. It's splash-proof but not waterproof, especially with the charging port cover slipping off very easily, so this is not one for the shower or tub.

Bsoft is made of a smooth plastic that glides easily over the skin, more so with lube. It's a non-porous material and doesn't pick up lint or debris easily. Beginners will find this to be a pleasant toy if they are wary of extremely textured toys, and advanced users will enjoy the sleek feel.

The design of this toy will appear to the nerdier crowd, as well as the not-so-nerdy folks. The shape is pleasant and easy to hold. I spend all day at a computer and my non-computer time is usually devoted to knitting, sewing, or something else that puts strain on my hands and wrists, and this toy was very comfortable to hold and easy on my hands and wrists. The size makes it easy to hide if you need to - the entire toy sits comfortably in my tiny hands, and I've met 12-year-olds with bigger hands than me! It's definitely travel-friendly, as you can slip it into a bag, purse, or suitcase without losing space you could be packing something important in.

There are seven different settings: a low, steady vibration; a more intense steady vibration; an even more intense steady vibration; a staccato building from shorter and spaced out with lower intensity to longer and closer, more intense vibrations; a steady "beat" of vibration that is fairly intense; a faster version of the "beat" that felt slightly less intense to me; and finally, a setting that feels like it's trying to tell me something in Morse code with three short taps and one long. When I first took it out of the box, I scrolled through the settings and told my husband about the "Morse code" setting along with a few giggles. The vibration grows in intensity the farther you move from the charger port. The controls are very simple to operate - on, up, down, and it's easy to change settings while using the toy - I kept my finger located next to the button so I could just give a quick press to change the setting. It's fairly noisy, with the louder settings being just audible on the other side of a door.

The lithium battery takes 4 hours to charge, and the charge will last for up to 50 minutes on full power, or 7 days in standby. It arrived with what seems to be a full charge, as I used it for a good half hour the day after I got it. I've had it for 5 days and it's still going full-power when I turn it on. The insert warns not to charge for over 24 hours to maintain battery life.

The toy is very easy to clean and store. It comes with its own storage pouch, feeling like the outside of a sweatshirt on the outside and like polar fleece on the inside. This fits neatly into the larger bag that I store most of my toys in, and I still have room for all the toys that I currently own.

The insert warns never to use massage oil or hand cream as lubricants, and to avoid cleaners containing alcohol, petrol, or acetone - nothing I would think to use in the first place, but it's good to be specific. Antibacterial cleansers or wipes are recommended, and I wouldn't clean my toys any other way.

The box and insert do not specify what types of lubes are safe to use with the toy. Water-based is always safe, and as this is plastic, silicone-based should be safe as well. I tend to prefer water-based for clitoral (I seem to obtain more pleasure when my clit's lubricated) or vaginal purposes, and leave the silicone for anal, but the choice is up to the individual.

The packaging is very pretty. The box background is black and smooth with a printed blue band around the middle where the product information is printed in white. The front features a partial picture of a woman, the name of the product and its purpose. The right side has a picture of the toy and the dimensions printed below. The back speaks to the benefits of the toy in six languages. The left side features product specs - material (ABS Plastic), size, battery type, charge time, and length.

The toy pulls out of the box in an open-top box of the same material as the exterior, with a plastic tray in which rest the toy and charger, with the informational insert on top. Pull the tray up to find the storage bag for the toy. The informational insert is printed in six languages, as well. Though the main language used on the packaging is English, the company does try to ensure most nationalities will be able to be fully informed about the product, an effort I applaud.

I feel the soft plastic triangle that covers the charger port could have been designed better. It doesn't stay put very well, during use or not, and I'm the type that wants all the pieces of my toy to stay where they go, even if it doesn't affect performance.

I didn't experience any big, over-the-top orgasms with this toy, though I did have a few little ones. It's a very pretty toy, and will be a go-to as I learn how it best works for me. I've never had a vibrator this particular shape before, so the use is new to me. I particularly love how it is comfortable for my over-stressed hands and wrists, as some other toys I have tend to lead to cramping.
