Magnifique - massager discontinued by Natural contours - review by Ener-G

The Natural contours Magnifique is a wonderful beginner’s toy. The shape is perfect for anyone who enjoys a laid back, relaxing masturbation session with no rush and not a lot of movement. Sadly, this is not my personal preference for solo-sex. First of all, the hard plastic on the outside is smooth, but it doesn’t exactly feel comfortable if you are the type who enjoys thrusting their hips forward and back along the body of the vibrator. There is a groove along the side of the vibrator that can actually cause a bit of chaffing on the inner side of the labia majora. When I laid on my back and just placed the vibrator on my clit, it was nice. The lower vibration setting was more like a tickle but the higher setting worked well for a finishing technique. I found myself wanting to insert it and even though it was not a bad sensation, the hard plastic did not satisfy my need for flesh-like softness.

While I was experimenting with different angles, I found that anyone who enjoys masturbating on their stomach might find this toy a bit of a nuisance. It felt like there was a vibrating rock between my legs and mounting the vibrator did not seem to “fix” the pressure problem. The most frustrating part of the Natural contours Magnifique was the limitation of vibration levels. If anyone out there prefers to stand while they masturbate, then they should know the lower setting vibration may not be enough of a sensation while the higher setting may be too much for direct clitoral contact. I was able to have a pleasant orgasm by placing it on my labia while standing.

The noise level for the Magnifique is fairly low. You can not sneak it into the same room as your boss and use it, but you can get away with after-bad-sex play in the bathroom behind a closed door. I even double-checked this assumption with my boyfriend trying to see if he could hear me in the other room. The last thing I feel is important to mention is that the shape of the object is actually quite unthreatening, unless you are dating someone who is a geek. My boyfriend decided that the Magnifique looked a lot like a Star Trek weapon and proceeded to chase me around the room making laser noises at me. This is just something to keep in mind if your significant other is a Trekkie.
