Superbe - clitoral stimulator by Natural contours - review by CaptainBunnyKilla

The Superbe won points right off the bat for packaging: it comes in a cute little plastic box that slides open and can be kept for storage since I didn't have to destroy it to get it open in the first place (I'm not gentle with packaging). The kicker: it comes with two AA batteries included! The thoughtfulness warms my heart.

The vibrator itself is shaped like a curved wedge. It's this lovely yellow-green color. Vibration speeds are controlled by a slider on the front face. The position all the way to the left is off, and the position all the way to the right is the lowest setting. The speed increases as you move the switch leftwards. The vibrations themselves aren't too strong, even on the highest speed, which was good for me, since I tend to go numb easily. However, this should be kept in mind if you need really strong vibrations to get off.

Anyway, the Superbe is exactly my, er, speed. It cups the entire vulva really nicely, with the main points of contact on the clit and right on the vaginal opening. The low setting was a nice warm-up, and I only needed the middle setting to come. I tried the Superbe both on my back and grinding up against it while it was propped up on a pillow, and the results were orgasmic each time.

I have two bones to pick with this vibe: the first is that it would be nice if it had pulsation patterns. I think it would be an absolutely perfect toy if it did. This is a minor issue, obviously, since the Superbe is only $20 and is fabulous in so many other respects. Second, mine is actually pretty loud. It sound like something is loose. If I put pressure on both ends of the Superbe it vibrates quietly like it's supposed to, but if I hold it by the sides it rattles. I'm going to put this down to an issue with my unit, since everyone else says theirs is almost silent. So, all in all, very minor quibbles.

As with all hard plastic toys, cleanup is easy: soap, water, wipes, toy cleaner. This toy is NOT waterproof, however, so don't submerge it. This is also not a penetrative toy, so if you need penetration to come, look elsewhere or be prepared to use it conjunction with another toy.

I'm giving the Superbe four stars despite the fact that mine rattles. I just throw on some music (currently playing: Tarkan!) to cover the sound. My verdict: elegant, effective, and economical (and nicely alliterative).
