Hummingbird arouser - clitoral stimulator by Cal Exotics - review by ERW

The concept of this toy was a really good one: stimulate clit, anus, and vagina all at once. It's a great idea for an all-in-one pelvic toy. It does limit what other toys you can use it with, of course. For one thing, you need at least one hand to hold it in place and if the other hand is working the controls then it takes a partner's help to add anything else. But if what you want is, essentially, to combine several toys in one, this would be a winner if it fits you.

It's a firm jelly toy, which makes it easy to insert and more forgiving than hard plastic. The jelly transfers the vibrations very nicely, and doesn't have any smell out of the box. It will be a lint and dust trap, and would be very difficult to protect comprehensively enough to share, but it does clean up easily.

This is my main problem with this toy: it really needs to come in more than one size or be differently formed in front. For my part, when the phallus is inserted, the tail lies against the anus pretty well but the beak falls *completely* short of the clit. The beak is also angled very sharply, given its short length, so if it does reach your clit it's likely to press very hard even for a jelly toy. Now, if I turn the whole toy around, then the tail reaches my clit very nicely, but that sacrifices the anal stimulation. I'm not going to return the toy, because the clitoral stimulation was really why I bought it and the anal is only a plus, but it would have been a really nice plus! I'm extremely disappointed that more thought wasn't put into how to make the beak work for more body-shapes. If you are buying this for the clit-and-anus aspect, you may want to reconsider. Also note that the phallus is relatively small, only one inch diameter; that's exactly the size I like for this kind of toy, but if you prefer something bigger, again, look elsewhere.

Despite the failure of the beak, I'd still say this toy functions pretty satisfyingly. It isn't world-shaking, but it has some nice vroom in the vibrator, and the bullet is located right in the body so the whole toy vibrates strongly. The four speeds made for a satisfying build-up, and the controls have a nice length of cord: long enough to move freely without tangling on things. I would hesitate to use this in really wet environments, despite it being billed as waterproof; the place where the cord enters the toy is not really sealed.

It cleans up easily with soap and hot water, and since it's a flexible material it stores pretty compactly on its side; the wings "fold" down a bit inside a box without damage.

It comes in a square plastic box with a clear front and hummingbirds and "Hummingbird Arouser" printed all over it. It's very cute but not at all discreet. There are no instructions, but the only trouble this toy gave me was figuring out which way to put in the batteries. If you hold the controller in good, strong light, you can see the little + and - signs inside it, but it took a little fumbling around to figure that out.

Honestly? I wouldn't recommend buying this unless you got into it knowing that it may well not hit all the advertized areas at once. It's a little pricey for a toy that isn't *actually* all-in-one unless you happen to be the right shape. That said, if you're willing to fiddle around with it, or don't mind the "anus or clit but not both" problem, you may be satisfied enough to go for it.

I was deeply disappointed in the engineering failure of the beak, but as a g-spot stimulator which can hit the clit (or anus) at the same time, it did work really well. The vibrations once it's all the way in and nestled up tight to your body are delightful. It made for several waves of quick, sweet orgasm. I just wish it actually fit properly!
