From the guy's perspective ;-)

I learned the hard way - when breaking up with your ex, make sure to get back the Layaspot. If not, you will find yourself buying another. I initially purchased the Layaspot because it's among the most innocent looking of quality vibrators, and I knew it wouldn't scare away my not-so-toy-friendly partner. Alas, she did admit to some excitement and interest when she first saw it. Fun Factory is already known for its quality products, and the Layaspot doesn't disappoint, even though the price may not be something to sing about. If you are going to have one non-penetration vibrator, this is the one to have. As advertised, the shape makes it perfect for resting against the clit, but let's be even more creative people! It's also ideal for holding in hand and using to tease your partner over any part of his/her body. As a guy I can hold it between my legs behind my balls so it vibrates against my perineum and balls while either masturbating or being pleasured. It can also be placed between you and your partner so you can both feel the vibrations while lying against each other. This is definitely a toy that can be enjoyed by both partners. One especially useful trick I found was to hold the Layaspot against my partner's clit with my palm, while inserting a finger and pressing on the g-spot. It can take some manual dexterity, but it's well worth the effort!

This is definitely a solid toy, constructed mostly from plastic (but without feeling cheap). The colored insert areas are a rubbery elastomer and provide a nice grippy texture.

The design, like other Fun Factory toys, is very elegant and modern-looking. It looks and feels nothing like the cheap novelty trash littering sex stores. You could easily convince someone unfamiliar with sex toys that it's actually a small hand-held massager. There's something about it that makes you want to pick it up in your hand and play around with it.

The vibrating motor is located opposite the end with the colored battery cap. The + and - control buttons are very intuitive, as they increase or decrease the strength of the vibration. Perhaps the greatest feature is the pulse/wave feature when you hold down the + button. In this mode, the vibrations vary from weak to strong in a smooth wave-like rhythm. The wave-like sensation prevents you from getting desensitized by a constant strength vibration.

Overall the toy is quite quite, though I wouldn't use the strongest setting with someone directly on the other side of your door. Other than that, it can definitely be used discretely in a household with other members.

Fun Factory advertises the Layaspot as being water-resistant, not actually water-proof. I've used it in the shower, and some water droplets do get past the cap into the battery compartment. I simply leave the cap off so it can dry, and then recap it before storing it. The circular shape of the cap would have easily allowed for an o-ring to truly seal off the battery compartment, and for the price I think it should have been present in the design.

Given this is a solid toy that's not being inserted, very little has to be done to care for it. A standard soap and water cleaning if it contacts body fluids is expected of course. Storage is a non-issue, as the surface is mostly plastic and won't pick up lint or dirt.

The Layaspot comes packaged in a plastic insert within a small cardboard cut-out box, along with a lube sample and instructions. You could re-use the package, but there's no need.
