Synchro vibes by NMC Ltd - review by Tori Rebel

This bullet is designed to fit snugly against the clitoris, but can be used almost anywhere externally- it's not meant for insertion in the vagina or anus. It also lends itself well to solo play but would work well for couples as the cord is 36 inches long so it won't pull if being controlled by a partner. It would work well for a beginner since the vibration strength is variable, but has enough interesting features to keep the more experienced toy users interested as well.

In addition to being useful for just about anyone, it is extremely powerful, has a vibration pattern in which you can adjust the vibration strength, and lights up in different shades of red, blue, green, and purple for some added interest.

Although the size of the remote and the fairly obvious design might not be great for discretion or travel, its very quite motor makes it easy to use in a shared living situation.

Both the bullet itself and the remote pack are made of hard odorless, flavorless, phthalate-free plastic. The bullet is smooth and solid with a raised and then dimpled teardrop shape on one side that can be rested over the clitoris. The other side is simply a rounded oval that can also be used on the clitoris, or on the scrotum, vaginal lips, anal area (outside only), nipples, or anywhere else you might appreciate a pinpointed vibrating sensation.

This material is non-porous and suitable for toy users of all levels. It carries vibrations very well and there is no point in the bullet where the vibrations can be felt any stronger than another area.

This toy looks like a pretty standard wired bullet at first, but has quite a few small features that really set it apart from the norm. The remote is 4-1/2" long and fits comfortably in my hand. It is clear plastic with silver glitter in it, and a silver panel with a clear nude girl silhouette on the top, in front of where it lights up. The remote has a speed setting dial on the right side and also has an oval containing the manufacturer's logo at the bottom. To make the toy easy to hold and use, both the top of the back of the remote and the speed dial are ribbed to make it easier to grasp. To insert the 3 AA batteries this toy uses, you slide off the lower portion of the back of the remote and put them in as directed in the informational pamphlet.

Plugged into the top of the remote is a 3 foot cord leading to a 3" smooth rounded oval bullet. The bullet is weighty for its size and vibrates evenly throughout. One side is smooth and rounded while the other has a concave teardrop shape in it to fit perfectly over the clitoris and clitoral hood. Any portion of the bullet can be used to stimulate many areas, whether it be the swollen concave teardrop shape, the smooth back side, or the slightly tapered top for pinpoint sensations.

While it is very quiet during use, the pretty sizable remote, long cord, and image of a nude girl on the remote itself, it's not the most discreet toy.

The functionality of this toy is one of it's best qualities. It features a repeating vibration pattern in which you can raise and lower the strength of the vibrations within the pattern using a small ribbed plastic dial on the upper right hand side of the remote. This sets the toy apart from most bullets that either have one steady vibration, multi-speed vibrations, or a series of patterns all at the same speed.

The pattern, as illustrated on the back of the packaging, rotates between three very consistent pulsing rythms - first moderate length revving pulses (4), followed by longer steady pulses (2), followed by short, quick pulses (24). Rolling the dial down begins this rotation at a medium low speed, and when rolled all the way to the end, it vibrates at an extremely high speed. It should be a level more than sufficient to reach orgasm for most. The dial is easy to use and because of it's slight ribs in the plastic, still easily controlled if your hands are lubed up.

In addition to the fun vibration pattern, the remote also lights up in random patterns while it's turned on. The colors are not based on the speed or current part of the pattern - it's simply a random, very bright, color rotation. This does not seem to take away from the battery life at all, as it is still running on the original batteries inserted. It is also very quiet, especially for a toy with so much power. Even on its highest speed, it can't be heard under a comforter or a pillow.

The only downfall to it's functions is that it is not waterproof. The battery cover has no seal whatsoever and there is also a seam at the base of the bullet that could take in water if submerged.

This toy's hard plastic construction makes it easy to care for. It can be used with any kind of lubricant and will not react with other toys. It is non-porous and can be cleaned with soap and water or toy cleaner. Do take care in washing the remote if necessary though, as it is not waterproof and is not properly sealed to stay dry.

The original molded clear plastic packaging is a little large for storage (but if you have the space, it is suitable), but the toy should be kept in some kind of storage bag or box just because the cord is so long and could easily get tangled up with other toys.

The Synchro Vibes comes packaged in an inexpensive clear molded plastic hanging container with an insert with a nearly-nude blonde woman on it. It may not be best suited for a gift and is not discreet at all. It includes some information on the vibration patterns and light up function but not much more. It does however include an information sheet that includes battery information, instructions for use, and some safety warnings.

I personally enjoy very strong vibrations and am more than pleased with the power of this toy. I use it mainly for clitoral stimulation and love that it's not just a plain flat vibration. The light up feature also just gives it that extra edge above the other bullets on the markets as it's not something even experienced sex toy users see everyday. I would recommend this to anyone from beginners to toy veterans.
