If you like lighter, buzzier vibrations with somewhat discreet designs and whimsical patterns this is for you! Close2You has been known for their whimsical designs and fantastic packaging with all the extra goodies in them, and I have always wanted to try one of their products. This one was a bust for me, but I won't let that stop me from trying something else!With the exception of the buttons and the ball shaped head which is designed for pinpoint stimulation, this oddly shaped toy is made of smooth velvetyplastic all over. The head is still smooth in itself although it sticks out from the rest of the toy (literally).
The design is painted on and has no raised texture to it whatsoever, but the buttons can be found easily with your hand.
This has kind of an odd shape so its measurements are estimated at about 5" long and just over 3" wide (tall?) at its widest point. The ball point is around 1 1/4" in diameter and protrudes out about an inch from the base of the toy. It's contoured to be held easily in one hand but the shape is kind of odd and not the best for gripping.
The design is similar to a musical note and is painted on the soft lavender color in white. Another musical note appears to be the power and cycle buttons.
The size makes this toy pretty easy to hide, and its shape and design can easily pass it for a neck massager.
The operation of this vibe is pretty simple. It is controlled by two push buttons: one for power and one to cycle through its 8 different vibration cycles:
3 steady (low, medium and high)
1 rollercoaster
4 different pulsation patterns
The vibrations are very loud and buzzy. They work better for teasing and muscle massage than for masturbation.
The charger that comes with this doesn't indicate anything as far as charging status (ie lights up when charging) so you will have to wing it as far as charge time goes. The initial charging time is 6 hours (packaging says up to 6 hours, but since there is no indication of charge completion I would leave it on the full time to be safe)
This can be heard through closed doors, but it could pass for an electric razor or clippers if need be.
This did hold up in the water, so it can be taken in the shower if you need a cover up for the noise!
Plastic can be cleaned up easily with soap and warm water or some toy wipes. It is phthalates free so it can be shared, although it still recommended to clean this off between partners that are not fluid bonded.
The packaging that comes with Allegro is awesome and makes a great place for storage. If you choose to store it elsewhere, a drawer or toy box will suffice since this will not absorb any other materials or bacteria.
Close2You has some awesome packaging that would make an awesome little box for organizing jewelry or makeup in as an alternate use. Worried about the picture? Just make a decopage with your favorite magazine clippings and no one will be the wiser!
The box has a fold up top that displays the toy through a window, and two smaller drawers that open up under the bottom. One nestles the toy tightly, and the other comes with all the extra goodies:
A sample of Close2You water based lubricant, a small satin pouch for storage and toy wipes to clean your toy off with.
Extras:
The cock ring that comes with Allegro is made of Silicone and does not stretch very far. I imagine it would be very tight on the average male at a diameter of 3" stretched out to the max.
The water based lube is scentless but does not taste good, so don't plan on using it for oral purposes.
The pouch is very soft and lined with a silky material on the inside to keep your toy from getting damaged. It is just large enough to fit Allegro, so if you plan on using it for something else keep in mind that it is small.
Allegro is also packaged with an informative booklet that tells you how to charge and use your toy. There are useful diagrams to help illustrate its several different functions. Instructions in English can be found on pages 17-32.
I was kind of disappointed with this toy. I guess I have high standards when it comes to clitoral stimulators after experiencing MiMi. I was surprised that there are no charging indicators on the toy (nothing lights up when charging so you don't know if it is done or not), the vibrations aren't that great, and the handle of the toy seems to vibrate more than the ball does.
When using the vibe I found that my hand vibrated more than the toy, and the vibrations seemed to be resonating through the whole thing. I tried to switch up and use a different part of the toy but the vibrations just seemed to be somewhere else.
This toy is definitely pretty and has a very unique design; however I am sad that my first Close2You experience had to be a mediocre one. This vibe will be used for teasing if it gets used at all.
