Form 6 - sex toy by Jimmyjane - review by Sammi

Just saying waterproof and rechargeable in the same sentence with vibrator gets me excited, so I was immensely interested in getting the Form 6 by JimmyJane. I’m not sure what happened to Forms 1 through 5, but the 6 is a delight and everything I’d hoped for.

The Form 6 comes in a large box inside a plastic slip sleeve. The box is nice, with information about the product on the outside. Inside is a booklet which contains a quick start guide (!), the Form 6, charging base (also its storage), and the power adapter. It looks somewhat like a summer squash, with a small and large end. Unfortunately, it doesn’t come in yellow - I chose the plum color, which is quite nice.

Each end of the Form 6 is a different size. The smaller end is 1 1/4" in diameter, while the larger end is a filling 1 3/4”. The vibrator is 7” long from tip to tip.

The Form 6 should be charged at least 8 hours before initial use. That gives you time to read the manual before using it. It’s easy to charge – the adapter connects to the base, and then it can be plugged into the wall. The Form 6 nestles in the base with its tip and metal collar touching the base contacts. It fairly leapt from my hand into the dock, and was easy to position.

Since I had some time to kill before the charge was complete, I decided to read through the manual (which is always a good idea). The Form 6 has some great features. It has a one year limited warranty, which is great for a vibrator of this price. It’s waterproof, so it can be used safely in the shower or bath. It has a rechargeable lithium ion battery, and can’t be overcharged. When fully charged, the battery has a lifespan of 2 hours on maximum power with both nodes going. Wow!

Even more exciting, the Form 6 remembers the last power level and vibration mode it was set to. When turned off, and then turned back on, it remembers. Double wow! No more trying to figure out which pattern it was you liked, the Form 6 will go back to it. The vibrator can be turned on or off by pressing any of the 3 buttons (discreetly hidden in the middle of its body) for about 3 seconds. This makes it safe for traveling, as it takes more than a bump to start the motors going. The vibration for each node can also be turned off by cycling through the intensity settings.

The Form 6 has dual motors, one in each end. Separate buttons control the vibration of each end, with a third button to control the pattern of each end, although the vibrations can be felt all over the toy. Each end is controlled by the button closest to it (which allows you to cycle through 5 intensity settings), while the center button controls the vibration mode (six in all). The buttons are below the toy’s surface, with just a dot or wavy line to indicate where to press. They light up when pressed so you or your partner can see what's been chosen.

The vibration modes are detailed in the instruction book, and differ somewhat for the large end and the small end. There are many different combinations, and you can have just one side vibrate at a time (which is easier when thrusting), although the vibrations can be felt along the entire toy.

While the manual and box tout how quiet the Form 6 is, I found it to be somewhat noisy, although not as noisy as some toys I own. It reminded me somewhat of my SonicCare toothbrush, in sound and pitch. Internally, the sound is not as bad, and once you’re using it, you will be too caught up in the sensation to mind or really pay attention. Background music helps also.

The Form 6 is made of silicone, which is phthalates-free and body safe. This vibrator cannot be sterilized, but should be cleaned with warm water and a mild soap. Never use anything abrasive on the surface. The Form 6 should be clean and dry before placing it in the charger. Water based lubricants are safe to use.

The Form 6 is smooth to the touch, and doesn’t bend or flex under pressure. It is also odorless and tasteless.
