Cobra Libre - masturbator by Fun Factory - review by ~LaUr3n~

Never before had I shown my partner a toy that he was so interested in trying. As soon as I saw a sneak peak of the Cobra Libre, I knew I had to try it. I was lucky enough to get my hands on one a few months ago and it was worth the wait (It was killing me having to wait to share the awesomeness with you guys!). Not only is the Cobra Libre an incredibly new and unique design for the male anatomy, it is also a lot of fun to use when your partner is "driving" the controls of this car looking toy! As a female sharing this with my partner, we always try to find unique uses for our toys. I found an amazing use for this as a female and I'm happy to say that I am just as in love with this as he is!

I recommend this for any male looking for a unique experience or looking to explore with vibration play. This toy isn't something that will get you off from thrusting, it probably requires some other stimulation like ball play, prostate play, or stroking. Because of this, the Cobra Libre can be a more time consuming toy than the run of the mill sleeve depending on your receptiveness to vibration. Regardless, it still is an awesome way to stimulate yourself and has super powerful dual motors that will surely fire your engines and get the lubricants flowing!

The Cobre is made of two materials, silicone and plastic. Both are very safe for the body and are hypo-allergenic. The plastic is more prominent and has varying textures of matte and gloss that make the toy feel wonderful when held. The outsides and underside of the toy are the thick and sturdy matte plastic, while the back center portion is the glossy type. The front top of the toy is made of the non-porous silicone. This is what the penis is inserted into. It is stretchy, but since it is sitting on top of the plastic case, it only stretches up allowing for some give, but not a bunch. Even before using the toy, the materials alone make the Cobra Libre stand out as a high quality product.

The Cobra Libra was designed with males in mind. At first glance it looks like a futuristic race car because of its sleek shape and axle looking back end. The front is more egg shaped and open ended. The inside of the concave egg and also the top, is lined with silicone. The inside is contorted. As it narrows it forms to the shape of the top 3 inches of the penis. That is about how far you will be able to penetrate. There is a hump that the underside of the head will fit into. This helps keep the toy in place. Because the silicone is super stretchy (but very strong), it will flex and accommodate you. It will fit the majority of men. The entire thing is about 6" long, 2 1/2" wide, and 3" tall (about the size of a bakers potato or Coke can).

The top of the front has the controls. The way they are arranged, reminds me of Optimus Prime from Transformers! There are three buttons which are touch sensitive. They also each have a light that pulses when the button is touched or the toy is charging. This helps you know that you really did press the button since they sometimes don't work if your fingers are wet from lubricant for example. The very front is also were the Fun Factory logo is. This doubles as the magnetic click-2-charge location.

Since the toy is so unique looking, it isn't easily identifiable, but this also makes it stand out and people will probably want to know what it is (futuristic car?). It does weigh a good amount, almost 2 pounds, so if you aren't worried about weight, its okay for travel.

Before attempting operation, make sure your hands are clean of lubricants, oils and etc. Do the same for the control pad. To start your engines, hold down the A button for 2 seconds. This turns on "idle mode". I friggin love this! Literally, it reminds me of a muscle car idling. Tapping the C(+) button will up the level and eventually bring you to the vibration patterns and tapping the B(-) button will do the opposite. The different levels sometimes have a slight difference so it was difficult to figure out just how many levels and how many patterns there are. This is what I came up with:

1. Idle mode-Very low level of vibration. If you are flaccid when you enter the Cobra Libre, you may want to stay on this mode for a bit to harden up and not be too sensitive. This level is very low in noise also.

2. Very slight increase in vibration level and none in noise.

3. There is an obvious jump in vibration and not much in noise. It is still very quiet and mild in vibration.

4-5. Obvious increases and still pretty quiet (unless you have rings on-you will want to remove those to avoid annoying clanging)

6-7. Fairly high level and louder. Might still not be heard through a door.

8. High level of vibration and the toy starts to rattle a bit like a revving car. This might be heard through a door if someone was listening.

9. Starts to pulse wildly even more like a muscle car in idle. Might be loud enough to be heard through a door without effort.

10. Extreme vibration level that wavered. Loud and clanging.

At this point you may have to hold down the C button to get the vibration patterns (sometimes I didn't).

11. Very intense fluttering that starts low and then gets high.

12. Even faster and more intense.

13. Up and down fast fluttering with no pauses.

14. This pattern was really hard to figure out. It seemed like a flutter then constant, then pulse then repeat.

15. Random crazy mode. I'm not even going to try and figure this one out!

The Cobra will auto shut off after 5 minutes of non-use. It should be noted that these levels were not always the same and their pulsing was as consistent as a car motor in need of a tune up. This made for some fun variability and we had no complaints. The Cobra Libre is completely waterproof! But sadly, not for usage purposes-only for cleaning. So don't attempt to take this in the shower or tub. You won't be able to use the controls anyways.

CHARGING:

The charger is magnetic that "clicks" when it is attached to the Fun Factory logo on the toy, then it plugs into the wall. For best results lay both logos (there is one on the charger too) directly on top of each other. It can be a bit awkward because of the shape so you might need to put the toy up on something so the cord can hang. This will prevent it from interrupting your charge. The initial charge should be done for a full 12 hours. On the highest level, the Cobra will last an hour. Charging after this only takes a few hours. Always charge before storing.

CARE/CLEANING:

When lubing the Libre, only use water based lubricants. You don't have to be afraid of getting this wet to clean it since it is waterproof for that purpose. You can use soap and water to clean inside and outside the toy. Let the inside dry and then store in a cool place and out of direct sunlight.

The packaging is a silver and black cardboard box which looked nice with the black and white colors of the Cobra I have. A huge chunk of the box is cut out to reveal the toy under a plastic mold. There is a lot of information on the outside and there is an information packet inside the box. On the bottom is a break down anatomy and on the back is a cool picture of two Cobra Libre's racing down a tunnel looking like cars. There is actually a removable insert of the same scene that can be used to put your toy on display. The box makes the toy look pretty cool and would make a great gift. It also works well for storage. When put in the box with the underground tunnel street displayed in the background, it can pretty much be stored in full view without looking like a sex toy.

After charging, take the Cobra Libre off the charger (can't be used while charging). Place a small amount of lubricant inside the chamber of the toy and swirl it around, then place a bit of lubricant on the top half of the penis. Slowly slide the head of your penis inside the toy. You can do this even if you are hard and in our experience it didn't hurt.

The Cobra Libra made my partner hard and got him pulsing strongly! I loved using this on him once I got the controls down (Since I was in front of him, everything was backwards!). Because the Cobra isn't a thrusting toy, it became apparent that he wasn't going to finish just from this. I began to play with his inner thighs and balls. The vibration and teasing was driving him crazy! The Cobra made for some great build up and it got to the point where he was begging me to finish him. I love that there is room below the toy to stroke the shaft and this is what I did to finish him in the toy.

The Cobre Libra can be used in other ways too! After one round with it, we removed it and I performed oral while putting the Cobra underneath his balls. This was pretty funny because when he came from the stimulation and vibration, his balls somehow caused the vibration to escalate and this made his orgasm crazy intense! It was an awesome accident. My partner also enjoyed using this on me and I liked laying on it during sex. It was a lot of fun to use a couple and will remain one of our favorite toys to use together!
