Mycero set - finger massager discontinued by Feelztoys - review by Alan & Michele

The Myceros finger vibrators by Feelztoys are designed to slip over your finger and are great for partners indulging in sensual foreplay. You get two in the package, one red and one lime green, so there's one for each of you!

These tiny vibrators each measure 1-1/4" long by approximately 1/2" across and the sleeves are made of premium medical grade silicone, which hygienically speaking is one of the best sex toy materials available. It's smooth and soft, so there's virtually no drag when you're ghosting these vibes over your lover's skin. The silicone is stretchy so you can peel the sleeves off of the vibrating bullets, which are made of white plastic, and the finger loops stretch enough to fit over a man's thumb comfortably. We tried stretching one over two fingers and, while it can be done without breaking the silicone, it's too tight for comfort that way.

The tiny size is a real bonus though, because you can slip these into your pocket when you go out and you can hide them pretty much anywhere.

Using the Myceros is a straight forward deal; just slip one on a finger or toe, turn it on, and caress away! However, when it comes to dealing with the vibrator units, don't bother reading the instructions on the box or you'll make yourself nuts trying to figure it out. The box shows that there is a slider control for turning them on and off, but in reality there is no such switch. You push on the end of the vibrator, which isn't obvious, and the unit will come on.

There's only one speed for the Myceros, and that's gentle... *very* gentle. These little vibes are tame enough that you can even use them against the throat and neck area without any discomfort, and people who prefer a very soft touch around the breasts and genitals will love them. The noise level that the Myceros produce is also mild, but we found that it varied between the two vibes in our set. The green one was whisper silent, while the red made a muted buzzing that can just barely be heard outside the covers.

Confusion did set in for us in a major way when the batteries gave out which, by the way, will happen after only about 35-40 minutes of play. The instructions on the box shows a picture of the bullet with a flip-up panel on the side for replacing the batteries, so naturally we tried doing just that. There are seams on the bullets, so it took us several minutes of picking and prying (during which we nearly broke one of them) before Alan finally got the bright idea to twist one. That worked; you twist the bullet and it comes apart in two halves. So much for instructions, eh? Inside there are two G3-A CNB MicroCell batteries, which do come with the toy.

As well made as they are, the Myceros are not waterproof at all, so when you clean them you need to remove the bullets from their sleeves. The sleeves can be washed with soap and water or, if you prefer, can be boiled, bleached (a 10% solution), or put in the silverware rack of your dishwasher. You can use water-based or oil based-lubes with them too, but the surface is smooth enough that you'll likely not need any to enjoy yourself.

Michele says:
The Myceros are nowhere near strong enough to create the "big O" for me clitorally, but they're good for getting started and feel nice on other areas of the body. The thing I love LOVE about these though is they are so portable and discreet. The last time we had a night out I slipped one into my pocket thinking that I could tease Alan in the car afterward, but once we hit the club I got a better idea. He wound up sitting across from me at the table so, when nobody was looking, I slipped off my sandal and put the Mycero on my toe. I think you know where this is going. Anyway, the look on his face when I slid our little vibrating friend into his crotch underneath the table was priceless!

Alan says:
That wasn't funny, Michele. I actually thought the guy sitting next to me was doing it at first, but we won't get into that right now. Anyway, I do agree that these are nice for foreplay, but that's about all. I'm not thrilled with the fact that the batteries last such a short time, particularly since they're proving to be impossible to find around here. For the price and hassle of finding batteries, they could have at least made them waterproof.
