LAYAspot - clitoral vibrator discontinued by Fun Factory - review by LivingandLoving

The Layaspot was the first vibe I bought, and I still love it! It is a great way for beginners who are perhaps nervous about buying their first sex toy to start with something non-threatening. I've used it mainly as a clitoral vibe and to stimulate my nipples, though I'm sure it could also be used as a general massager as well. It feels fantastic! I'm pretty sensitive, so that fact that this isn't a crazy-strong vibe is actually a plus.

I've used it in the shower with no problems, so I would say it's at least splash-proof. Just make sure you pull out the batteries and let it air-dry really well afterward.

The Layaspot is made of elastomed, so it's perfectly safe for almost anyone. I didn't notice any odor or scent when I first got it, and if there was it has long faded. The elastomed feels silky smooth on your skin and very "real", even without lube, though it feels better with it. It's not a flexible material though; it's hard and smooth except for the control buttons which have a little bit of "give" so you can press them.

As a beginner vibe, I'd say the Layaspot shines in its design. It's small and ergonomic, so I don't get a cramp in my hand when I use it...a huge plus! Also, as mentioned previously, it can pass for a regular massager and probably be used just as effectively to massage any body part, so I would say it's very discreet. I don't think anyone would think twice if they found this in your suitcase on vacation. The batteries (2 AAA's) are also easy to find, meaning you never have to worry about running out of power. I have found that the vibrations can get a little weak after a while, especially if you keep the batteries in when not in use. Fresh batteries usually do the trick to fix this.

I would say that the Layaspot performs exactly as it's supposed to, as a discreet clitoral vibe, and it will last you for a good long while with proper care.

The controls are easy enough to use. Two buttons: the "plus" button turns the vibe on, starting at the lowest setting and intesifies the vibrations and/or patterns, and the "minus" button decreases the vibrations and turns it off from the lowest setting. It's pretty easy to press the buttons, though it takes some getting used to if you've never used a vibrator before.

The vibrations themselves aren't terribly strong or buzzy, but boy do they work! I prefer the first three levels myself, and they are more than enough to bliss me out! There are several patterns as described in the product description, though I usually don't use the highest pulse settings as they can get a little strong for my taste. Also the higher settings/patterns are quite a bit noisier, and can be heard easily from under blankets. The lower settings are quieter.

There seems to be a lot of different opinions on whether or not this is a water- or splash-proof vibe. I haven't tried submerging mine yet, and don't plan to, but I have used it in the shower once or twice successfully. I'd call it splash-proof, though the box it came in did say it was waterproof.

Cleaning elastomed toys like the Layaspot is pretty simple. Just wash it with anti-bacterial soap and water, and I would recommend taking off the cap and removing the batteries as it dries, just to be safe. For more information about elastomed, check out Eden Fantasys's Materials Guide on it.
I store mine is a clean, plastic cosmetic box. I would think any place that won't collect dust is probably fine for storage.

Since it's been quite a while I purchased my Layaspot, I remember the packaging being pretty innocuous. It's not discreet packaging by any means, but I could see this being a good bridal shower or bachelorette party gift without too much embarrassment for the recipient. I wouldn't say the packaging is good for storage, though, and I didn't save mine.

I'm not especially "into" vibrators, and in fact, I find that I'm a little too sensitive to enjoy using them. The Layaspot is great for gentler vibrations, and I enjoy it from time to time. With that said, when I was single it was FANTASTIC to take the edge off once in a while when regular masturbating just wasn't enough. I haven't tried using the Layaspot or any other vibrator with my partner yet, so I can't comment on that experience.
