The perfect Travel Companion.
The Flash is a super small, super strong toy that would be wonderful for a travel toy or a beginner. For me it didn't supply dual stimulation, but it's vibrations are strong enough that it's still a great toy.Published: April 19, 2010
Pros:
Small for travel, powerful, cool charging system, silicone, waterproof.
Cons:
charger looses connectivity, clitoral stimulator doesn't really hit it's target.
The BiMini Flash is a small version of a dual stimulator or rabbit style vibe that is one of my favorite types of toy. I LOVE dual stimulation toys and I was excited to try a small more travel friendly version. When I received the Flash I was excited about the charging system and the velvety smooth silicone but I wasn't sure how well it would preform due to the tiny size of the clitoral stimulator.
The clitoral stimulator is short and It doesn't really reach it's intended spot. Everyone's body is different, but for me the clitoral stimulator wasn't working out. So for the insertable portion, with a insertable length of only 3 inches you have kind of a teaser toy. I was able to kind of use the shaft as intended and then switch to using it as a clitoral stimulator. With switching back and forth I was able to climax, but while trying to use the dual action that the toy is made for, I wasn't doing much for me.
The redeeming quality about the Flash is that it's actually really powerful considering the size. In this case small does not equal weak. There are 7 different constant vibration settings that go from lowest to highest and 3 pulsating settings that go from slower pulsing to a very rapid pulse. On low and even the medium settings this toy is super quiet. Once to gets on the higher settings it does have a little noise to it. On high you can hear it through the covers and most likely through a closed door, on low you can't even hear it through the covers.
The Flash is 5 1/2 inches long with a 3 inch insertable length and a 4 1/4 inch circumference. It is very light weight at only 8 ounces. The buttons for this toy are under the skin of the silocone. There is a plus and minus sign on the bottom of the toy, opposite the clitoral stimulator. You hold down the to turn the toy on. Once you have the power on you can either push the to click through the different settings or you can hold the - down and they toy will gradually get stronger and stronger. To turn the toy off you hold the - down until the toy is at the lowest speed, you then click the - one more time to turn it off. It's pretty easy to use, but it does take a time or two to get used to the way this toy functions.
The charging of this click n' charge toy is pretty cool. You plug the cord into an outlet and a red light will turn on letting you know there is power in the cord. at the end of the cord is a little circle that says fun factory on one side and the other side has 2 metal dots. if you bring the metal dots close to the plastic end of the vibe you will feel a magnetic pull and they will click together. When they are together correctly a red light will light up the circle on the side that says fun factory. This is a very cool charging system, but it is a little easy for the vibe and charger to loose connectivity. So you have to be careful to put the vibe in a place that it can charge without being bumped or moved around at all.
The Flash is totally waterproof and can be used in the bath or even a pool if you choose. Most toys that say waterproof but having removable parts, like the battery compartment, worry me. I always wonder if it's really going to keep the water out or not. This guy I was very confident would keep water out, as there are no removable parts. Even if you don't plan on using this toy in the water, it makes cleanup that much easier.
This little vibe is made of Silicone with a little black plastic end. Because of the vibration motor and the plastic this vibe cannot be put in the dishwasher or boiled. To wash simply use anti-bacterial soap or toy cleaner and rinse with warm water.
Water based lubes only for this toy.

Follow-up commentary
4 months after original review
The Bimini flash, for me, really only functions as a large bullet. I tend to use the shaft as a clitoral stimulator, and I usually only use it in the shower. It's a strong little toy and It would be pretty perfect if it fit my body for dual stimulation.

Users, does this one stimulate the g spot at all?

Doesn't really look like it would.

The two Funfactory Bi-minis
-
Bimini flash and Bi-mini ocean both look nice. Has anyone tried both of them and what is your opinion on the two? Does one outperform the other? If so why?
-
I haven't tried the Flash, but I've tried the Ocean, and I like it. The clitoral bump doesn't actually reach my clit, but the vibrations are nice, and the size is on the smaller end, but still good for internal use. I imagine the Flash would be pretty similar, given that they're in the same line of toys.

Thank you for your input. They did look very similar and since they were from the same copany I didn't know which one would be better.

Chargin Problems?
-
Does anyone else have problems with their Fun Factory rechargeable vibrators recharging? I can never get ,ine to charge! I have to wiggle the cord and mess around with the vibrator for like 20 minutes to get it to charge....anyone else?
-
I don't have a problem with my Bubbles. I smooth out the cord and plug it into the wall socket close to my nightstand, put the toy with the charging end facing the edge of the nightstand and attach the magnetic charger onto the toy, the charger cord is left hanging in midair without any obstacles touching it. Just make sure the FUN word on the charger attaches over the FUN word on the base of your toy at the exact position, the light will come on to show it's charging.
Hope that helps. -
Maybe contact Fun factory. It's possible they have some tips or worse case, if you got a dud, maybe they can replace it.
