Tuyo - discreet massager discontinued by Big Teaze Toys - review by Desdimona

The Tuyo|Tuyo - Discreet massager comes in a gorgeous, sturdy black box, nestled in satin padding. The box is both beautiful and functional. The toy itself is also very aesthetically pleasing – there’s something about the round shape that is very exciting. I got the black version, and I think it looks incredibly classy. I love the stainless steel bands around the silicone grip. Just looking at this toy is somewhat arousing.

Besides being gorgeous, this toy is also, in my mind, the perfect size. It fits very comfortably in the palm of my hand. I also love how unique this toy is in design – its closest “relative” that I can think of is The Cone|The Cone - Massager, and that’s an entirely different shape! It’s very nice to be able to add variety to my toy collection, and to have a toy whose vibrations cover a larger surface area than just the head of the clitoris.

Personally, I don’t like to immediately start stimulating the head of my clit when I first begin masturbating; I prefer to massage my entire labia as I’m warming up, teasing myself every now and then with some indirect clitoral stimulation, and then finally, after much teasing, move to the more direct clitoral stimulation. The Tuyo is perfect for this kind of general labial and indirect clitoral stimulation.

I’d been expecting the Tuyo to be on the mild side in power, because it runs on 3 AAA batteries, but I actually found it to be very powerful. It’s not Hitachi|Hitachi magic wand powerful, of course, but it is strong enough to make me come all on its own, which was a very pleasant surprise! I like the different pulsation patterns, especially the one that I call the “escalator,” which goes slowly up and then back down, over and over again.

The biggest drawback about this toy is its control button. Everything on the Tuyo is controlled by a single button. This is great for creating a sleek, streamlined look, but it creates some problems. First, you can’t change intensity levels within the different modes. When you first turn on the toy, it starts on the lowest intensity level, then moves through the other two intensity levels. Then, with every subsequent push of the button, it moves through five different pulsation patterns.  You can’t, however, make the pulsation patterns more or less intense. This is a somewhat minor quibble, but worth mentioning.

A larger annoyance for me was the fact that you also can’t turn the toy OFF until you’ve cycled through all eight modes (three speeds and five pulsation patterns). This means that, unless you happen to be using the eighth stimulation pattern, you are going to have to do some repeated pushing of the button in order to turn this toy off. It’s not the end of the world, and it’s not going to stop me from using the Tuyo. Still, it’s an imperfection in my mind that keeps this toy from getting five starts from me.
