Paul and Paulina - vibrator by Fun Factory - review by epheme

After my trusty Wild G rabbit died, I chose this as the replacement. I bought it at a local shop and it was about $10 more than the price listed. So in my mind it's defnitely a bump up in price category, which was expected given that this is 100% silicone, and portions of it are made in Germany instead of China. I love the material and the unusual color and form. The caterpillar's 'bumps' are an interesting kind of stimulation, but the beads aren't quite firm or pronounced enough to give great g-spot stimulation. The playful form makes it less intimidating if you're interested in using this in front of, or with your partner - it really does feel like a toy! It also has NO odor and is pleasantly soft yet firm.

It differs from my previous vibe in two key ways: the clitoral vibrations are not as strong, and the shaft is slightly longer yet not as thick. I have to insert it more than I'm used to for it to make contact. The vibrations also decrease once turning on the rotation. It needs a lot of (water based!) lube for it to feel comfortable that deep inside me. The rotation is louder than I expected and sounds a bit like grinding!

I expected to like this a lot more than I did right off the bat, although I've warmed up to it after using it for a while. Maybe I'm partial to my Wild G, even though this does have its charms. In short, this really is a lot more like sex with a partner, because it takes time to build to an orgasm - rather than riding the super-powered express train. This can be an advantage if you like to delay your climax and get close to the edge before backing off.
