Better than chocolate - clitoral vibrator discontinued by Nomi Tang - review by travelnurse

Use

For ladies who like to have their clit’s stimulated!! It fits perfectly with it’s” nose” snuggled up to your clit and labia. It can be used hands free when you close up your thighs. The vibrations span out of the “wings” to cover your labial folds and it’s “tail” stimulates your taint or your perianal area depending on your own anatomy. The better than chocolate can be used with intercourse also. My husband used it when I was in the cowgirl, reverse cowgirl and doggy style too. It adds a nice flavor to your play. The better than chocolate can also be used on your nipples as well as his and my husband enjoyed the “nose” vibrations on his scrotal area.

Material/Texture

Better than chocolate is made from TPE. TPE is a medical grade thermoplastic rubber. It is not as soft or flexible as silicone but it is softer and has more give than plastic. It has an Eden safety scale rating of 8. Food grade, nonporous, latex free, hypoallergenic and phthalates free. Better than chocolate has a velvety feel but it is not as soft as Uma or Ella. It does have some drag. You can use any type of lube with better than chocolate, water based, hybrid or even silicone.

Design/Shape/Size

The better than chocolate is somewhat “Bat” shaped. It is 4 ½ inches long from it’s nose to tail end. It has a wing span of 2 ½ inches. It is curved to fit snuggled up to your clit and rest between your upper thighs. You have full contact on your genitals with the toy. It feels somewhat like how a computer mouse feels in your hand. It has the same type of arch and contour. Just like a computer mouse, it’s controls are contained in a strip that runs across the curved area, The control panel is 1 ½ inches long in the center of the toy. If you run your index finger up and down on the roller portion of a computer mouse, this is the same way that you control better than chocolate. This control strip lights up blue when the toy is on.




Control/Functions/Performance

Better than chocolate runs on 2 AA batteries. To access the battery compartment you twist the tail end approximately 45 degrees and it pops off. The battery compartment has several layers of “gaskets” that create the waterproof seal when the compartment is closed. The on/off button is contained in the tail end with a softer area that is depressed.

The vibration controls are very innovative for a toy. It is the same premise as your roller on a computer mouse. You simply put your index or middle finger on the strip that runs down the center of the toy. To change vibration patterns you place your finger on the NT logo on the end of the strip for 2 seconds and this changes the patterns. If you slide your finger back from the logo the vibrations get weaker and slower if you slide your finger towards the logo they get stronger and faster.

There are 3 vibration patterns. The first is a steady vibration, the 2nd is a kind of wave pattern, and the 3rd pattern is a bam, off, bam, off choppy type of pattern. Of course all of these patterns can be made fast or slow with the slide of your finger on the control panel. On of the issues with the control panel is that it is easy to hit yourself into another vibration pattern.


Care and Maintenance

Better than chocolate is very easy to care for. You can use any type of cleaner. Antibacterial soap and water, toy sprays, toy wipes. The toy is 100% waterproof up to one meter. I have just stored this toy under my pillow and in the pouch that the toy came with.

Packaging

When I pulled this toy from my EF box it was exciting. The box is contained in a sleeve with the toy info on it. I had a hard time getting this external sleeve off, I was actually starting to get pissed and wanted to rip the dang thing off. The box is white and has large Nomi Tang logo in burgundy on the lid with smaller lighter toned logo’s all over. The box opens up like an expensive jewelry case with ribbons holding the lid. The inside of the lid has Nomi Tang written in burgundy and the whole box is lined in white satin. The toy it’s self is nestled in the white satin and rests upon a white satin drawstring pouch. Included is a user manual. Which even tells you how to set the mood. I love the packaging and thought that has gone into the packaging.

The better than chocolate is my go to toy, great for starting out my solo session. I am able to rock the toy from my clit towards my anal area for extra stimulation. I was also able to place this on the liberator wing and use it with a dildo. It didn't fit well with the missionary position, made my pubic bone sore. I liked this toy from the moment I opened the box, felt like I was receiving a gift. The better than chocolate comes in blue, purple and the dreaded pink. I was able to get the purple, but the blue was my first choice. I love the controls and I hope that more toys will come out with similar control panels. I would like to see this toy in silicone, but then it would become a lint magnet.

This toy is also great to travel with. It is discrete that if you threw it in your bag with your electronics it would only look like a computer accessory.

You know when you open a new box of chocolates, you know that the square one is the caramel and you scan it immediately to find that one and grab it before anyone else gets it? That's this toy.

I still like this one but it is not as powerful as say the salsa or the Mimi. This is more fore when you want to lie back and enjoy!!
