Jolie by Natural contours

There's a decent level of buzz for the size in this somewhat clinical-looking vibe by Natural Contours. It could easily pass for a personal massager at Walgreen's, and is quite conservative as sex toys go. I didn't find the curve of Jolie Massager by Natural contours in its petite length to add much to the experience, but the broad, flat tip does focus the strong vibrations. It's marketed as a travel vibe, and since its shape is somewhat reminiscent of an asthma inhaler, it does seem likely to pass through airport security screeners without raising any eyebrows. Jolie is small, and lightweight enough to carry in a backpack or purse. It seems to eat up batteries quickly, so pack a couple of rechargeable AA's too.

Jolie Massager is fairly loud for a one-battery vibe, with a mechanical (as opposed to humming) buzz that I find distracting during partner play, so the Natural contours product goes into the solo-fun category for me. After using it for about 20 minutes, then cleaning and opening it to remove the battery, it gave off a faint heated oily smell that I didn't notice while using it, but that makes me suspicious about the vibe's lifespan.

Although its innocuous shape and ease of use could make it a good choice for nervous vibrator newbies, I'd be more likely to recommend vibrators with multi-speed abilities for someone still figuring out the intensity they like. It took a lot to get me over the edge with this one, but then the single-speed buzz was too intense to try for a second orgasm. Overall, Jolie Massager is not a bad product for its price, but nothing special to set it apart either.
