Elektra plug - e-stim plug discontinued by EdenFantasys - review by DancerKittyKat

Electric toys are certainly fun to use, sending electric current through you when your body comes in contact with both electrodes. When both electrodes touch your skin, the circuit is closed and you are able to feel the pulses of electricity rushing beneath your skin. The anticipation of an electric pulse from this toy makes the experience thrilling.

Use
This device has two separate modes, the "in-mode" and the "out-mode."



"In-Mode" turns the controller into a stimulator. When you touch both electrodes, you will feel electric pulses. I found that this function allowed for a good hand massage but little else. I tried running the stimulator across my arms, stomach, face, and pussy but did not feel the strong electric pulses that were present when I held the stimulator in the palm of my hand and touched the electrodes with my fingers.



"Out-Mode" allows you to use the butt plug attachment when plugged into the electrode jack. This toy can be used internally and externally. I found that the toy's best uses were anally as a butt plug and to stimulate my nipples. You can stimulate your nipples by holding one electrode to your nipple and touching the other electrode with a finger.


Design / Craftsmanship / Material / Size / Fit

The controller features a matte black and brushed silver theme that gives it a futuristic look. Both the controller and the plug feel solidly made and are not likely to fall apart, even with frequent use. The matte surface of the controller makes holding onto it easy, even when the room heat up and palms start sweating. The wrist strap adds extra security to make sure that the controller does not fly out of your hand.




The plug is made out of a shiny, black, plastic with silver electrodes on either side of the plug. The plug is fairly small when it comes to anal plugs (and very small when it comes to vaginal toys), about an inch in diameter at the widest point. If you looked at the cross section, you would see that the plug is oblong, not circular. This mimics the size and dimensions of two of my fingers when they are squeezed together. So, if you can easily fit two fingers inside your ass, this plug should be no problem. While I would normally prefer larger butt plugs for anal play, this size worked well since surface of the toy is not completely smooth. There are indentations that run along the seam where the electrodes are implanted in the plug. Unfortunately, these indentations also collect dirt, leftover lube, and cum. The base was very small for a butt plug. Plugs should have a base that is larger than the insertable part so the base does not get sucked into your asshole. This plug was connected to a long cord, so you will not lose the toy inside of you. However, it does not seem wise that the toy relies on the cord for removal when the plug slips too far.




Functions



Pulse Frequency Switch: This switch changes the frequency of the electric pulses from a quickened heartbeat on the "slow" setting to a hummingbird flutter on the "fast" setting.

Pulse Intensity Dial: By moving this dial to the left, you can turn on the toy and gradually increase the intensity of the electric stimulation from a pins-and-needles sensation at the lowest setting to a pounding heartbeat of electricity at the highest setting.

Mode Switch: As explained in the "Use" section of this review, the "in-mode" makes the controller the stimulator while the "out-mode" sends electric current through the nipple clamps.


Care and Maintenance

This toy conveniently comes with a CR2032 battery. So, you can take this bad boy out of the box, and use it right after a quick and easy assembly. I always take the battery out after use to preserve the life of the battery. I like to store this toy in a sandwich bag since it holds all detachable pieces.



You can use toy wipes like the "Eden Toy and Body Wipes" to clean this toy. It is fairly easy to clean with a few quick swipes of the wipe. However, as mentioned before, I could not find a way to clean the residue out of the electrode seam. Do not use water to clean this toy since water and electricity are a no-go.

Packaging

The toy came in a molded plastic package with a clear lid to cover the contents. Since butt plugs are fairly distinctive, I would not consider this toy discrete.

This toy can be used for solo play or with a partner(s). I found that this toy was fun to use across Skype for long distance relationships since the toy produced visible squirming and arousal when inserted anally. This toy can easily fit in a purse or sandwich bag to bring with you in case you feel the need for electric stimulation on the go. This is not a good plug for long-term, public wear since it has a cord and controller that you would need to hide.

This toy can be inserted vaginally or anally with a bit of water-based lube. However, when inserted vaginally, even at the highest setting, the toy did not produce a noticeable current. I believe this because the vagina has many folds, and there is not enough contact with the electrodes for the circuit to close and produce a current.

I found that if I turned the toy on before inserting the toy vaginally, I received intense, arousing shocks on my pussy lips when the electrodes came into contact with them. This toy worked very well anally, though I found that I needed to turn the toy to the highest intensity level to feel sufficient electric stimulation. After a while, I could no longer feel the individual electric pulses inside my ass. I think my ass may have just grown numb from the stimulation because I was still aroused by the sensation even when I stopped feeling the pulses.

I have used this product a few times since I wrote the review and have been consistently dissatisfied by the connectivity, even with conductive lube! I barely feel anything when the toy is inserted (vaginally or anally). The controller works well however. I have used the controller with my other attachment, the Elektra Nipple Teasers, and have had no issues with connectivity.
