Form 3 - discreet massager discontinued by Jimmyjane - review by Red Vinyl Kitty

The Form 3 is something I didn't really want, to tell you the truth. My husband had been eyeballing it for a long time though, and when he told me he wanted to try it out, I decided to give it a go. I've tried JimmyJane products in the past, and I liked the ones I've tried, but I had heard that this was on the buzzier side of things, and I wasn't sure that it was for me.

The Form 3 is really best suited to external stimulation; be that the clit, nipples, perineum, or balls. I personally find that mine gets used more often for clitoral stimulation, but you can definitely play around with the flexible part of the toy and see what works best for you.

The toy is made up mostly of a velvety silicone. There is a seam going up the side of the toy on either side, which I can feel with my fingers, but it isn't bumpy enough to feel during use. There are three buttons, which are slightly raised from the surface of the toy, and I like that because it makes them easy to find during play.

The toy does not have a smell to it when it arrives, though I've bleached mine a couple of times and the smell of the bleach does seem to linger on the toy, despite having washing this with plain soap and water several times since I bleached it. Just a word of warning to those who prefer to bleach their silicone toys.

I think that the smooth texture of the silicone should be comfortable and enjoyable for everyone, whether beginner or not, as long as you're not someone who prefers bumpy or raised textures.

This toy is designed differently than anything else I've seen. It looks almost like a bullet vibe, but instead of the traditional bullet, there is an extended "flap" of silicone that extends about two inches past the motor. The flap is very flexible, and allows for better stimulation by allowing you to put it where you need it.

The vibrator is small, (only about four inches long, and two inches wide), but it fits comfortably in the palm of my hand.

The toy is very strange looking for a vibrator, so it's not really recognizable at first glance. However, if someone picks this up, they will probably figure out that it is a vibrator. For that reason, I might keep this one in a sock drawer or similar if I lived with room mates and required discretion.

In order to turn the toy on, all you need to do is press the (+) button. This will also make the vibrations stronger if you keep pressing it. If the vibrations become too intense, just push the (-) button. Push and hold the minus button to turn off the toy.

The bottom button looks like (~), just press it up to four times to change the vibration mode. Most of the modes are varying vibration patterns, but there is one steady pulse pattern. I find that the vibration settings are somewhere between a buzz and a rumble, but that you can really only feel them in the thinner, more flexible flap of silicone.

The biggest problem I have with the toy is that it is much weaker than I was hoping it would be. There's enough vibration to get the job done, but it definitely takes me some time to get there.

One awesome thing about the toy though is that it is completely waterproof, and I've taken to keeping it on the edge of my bathtub for water time fun.

Another awesome thing? The Form 3 is totally rechargable, so you never need to fumble for batteries. It takes about two hours to charge, and the manual says that the toy can stay charged over 8 hours. (Don't forget to charge it for eight hours the first time you charge it!) I'm not sure how long it will actually last, but I've used this one lots and have never had a problem with it running out of charge... And that is with almost a month of use, at least twice per week. Awesome! My only real complaint about the recharging stand is that you have to place the toy "just so" in the recharging cradle, or else it'll stop charging. Still, even though I had a hard time getting it to stay, my husband got it with no problems every single time. If only I could get him to divulge his secret.

This one is pretty simple to take care of. I sometimes will soak it in a 10% bleach solution, but you can also use soap and water or a toy cleaner. Because the toy is completely waterproof, I don't have to worry about splashing a battery compartment or anything when I clean it.

I store mine on the edge of my bath tub, but then I don't have any roommates. You could store this in the packaging it came in, if you like, or even in a sock drawer. The toy is small and discreet enough that in a luggage it won't be a big deal or take up too much space, either.

While the toy does have enough power to "get the job done", I wish it was a little bit stronger. As it is, it is fun in conjunction with other toys, but I have yet to climax from using the toy solo, which is a bit of a downer.
