Bunny hopper - strap-on vibrator by Cal Exotics - review by Syntax

Though it may be small and discrete at first glance, the Bunny Hopper is definitely not a toy that can easily be kept a secret. This, unfortunately, is not a compliment. Initially, there are a few aspects of the toy which make it cumbersome, the most noticeable being the volume of the vibration. Unless pressure is applied over it entirely, the humming is loud enough that I felt confident my neighbors in the apartment next door could hear it. As a toy which seems to appeal mostly to couples' usage, this humming should not be much of a problem. But if you are considering it for discrete purposes, it may not fit the bill.

As a 'hands free toy,' the vibrator (in the shape of a bunny) is suspended on a waist strap and two thigh straps. These adjust easily and comfortably, but seem to hit at somewhat of an awkward angle. The straps would extend to fit most sizes, and are very stretchy, but seem a bit flimsy to me. Some adjustment is needed to sit the bunny over the clitoris, and over-enthusiastic motion while standing tends to cause it to move out of its position. However, while laying down it stays in place well, and even though the bunny seems to have a rather awkward look on his face, the feeling it produces is genuinely a good one.

Made of TPR silicone, this toy does not disappoint when it comes to texture (and it's easy to clean!). The soft, squishy silicone feels good to the touch and smooth against the skin. Once it adjusts to your body temperature (which doesn't take long), it naturally 'clings' to the skin – which helps with the toy's tendency to want to relocate itself. But it while the packaging boasts that it is 'hygienically superior silicone,' it actually is not pure silicone, and cannot be sterilized. Since this is an external toy, I don't take off points for that in this case.

The vibrator is controlled by a hand-held remote which attaches by a wire to the lower end of the bunny. If you are interested in wearing clothes over the toy, it is difficult to do so with this wire.

Furthermore, it is the remote which detaches completely from the wire – the wire is permanently grounded in the bunny. Why the manufacture decided to do this in this fashion rather than vice versa is beyond me. But the remote system is beneficial. Whether you are interested in stepping up your pleasure or passing the remote off to your partner. The eight different vibration settings are sure to please.

The vibrations are no mere tickle. A variety of different styles helps to hold interest, from a 'stair stepper' setting which gradually increases the level of vibration, to pulsations which can either be slow or fast. There are up and down buttons on the remote to cycle through these options, and they too are oriented from mild to wild – 'low vibration' to 'roller coaster.' It was easy to orgasm on this last setting. When used alone, this toy gives the illusion that someone else is in control – which is often a highly stimulating form of arousal. Because of its design, this toy can also be worn during sex which allows for adequate clitoral stimulation simultaneously with intercourse. Over all, though the toy has its kinks, it does not fall short on its ability to satisfy.
