The cone - cone vibrator by Twisted Products - review by Lia Sphere

I’ve had the cone for over a year now. All of my friends ask me about it when they see it - it's definitely a conversation starter. It’s also one of my instant go-to toys - right after my Hitachi. The cone really impressed one of my geekier-guy friends when I brought it out to play with him. According to a female friend, the cone is really useful for breaking up the monotony of long car rides, though I’ve never actually tried using it that way.

The silicone material is pretty soft to the touch, and the toy design looks appealing, if unconventional. However, I’m actually not a huge fan of the shape as far as actually using the toy goes. While I generally just press the cone against my clit while I’m lying down, instead of trying the funky poses included in the instruction booklet, I really love the way the vibrations feel, as well as the large selection of pulsation patterns. You can get anything from short intense bursts to throbbing to a gradually increasing buzzing pattern. The cone can take you from soft and gentle to aggressive, and back to playful, all with the push of a button. When I'm in the mood for no-frills masturbation, I can also just flip through the first four settings, which include varying intensities of pure-and-simple vibrations. There's even an 'instant orgasm' mode.

Like all silicone toys, the cone attracts dust really easily, and it’s impossible to find an appropriately shaped storage box, so I generally have to clean the toy both before and after I use it, which can be inconvenient. I really do use the cone all of the time though, and would hate to end this review on anything but a positive note. So I guess I’ll add that I think it’s pretty awesome that they’ve started manufacturing the cone in black as well as pink. Now my boyfriend wants one too!
