Seed - clitoral vibrator discontinued by Zini - review by TacoODoom

This amazing toy is tiny, whisper quiet, and comfortable to told. The Zini Seed is a re-chargeable hand-held vibe that can be used to stimulate any number of external areas of the body, meaning, not the best idea to insert it anywhere. It's shape fits comfortably in the hand, and I find that I can use it for longer periods of time than say a bullet vibe, because the vibrations don't seem to travel up the "handle" part as much as they do the "useable" end.

The Seed charges fully in around 2 hours and will maintain it's charge for approximately 3 hours of constant use. I was able to use it every night, for the first week I had it, and then sporadicly for over 2 weeks before I needed a re-charge. Not only does it a single charge last, but it holds the charge well, other re-chargeable toys I own won't hold a charge more than three days without use, this maintained a strong charge for 4 days without use and was just as zippy as when I'd shut it off after the last use.

Another thing I love about the Seed is the LED on the control face. The led is programed to change colors with the different vibration pattern modes, as well as display the amount of charge left in the toy. It also indicates how much the toy has charged, while charging. It can be used while charging, but I found the cord to be just a touch too short for my likes. I'm of the opinion that if i'm using something that is plugged into the damn wall, i want to be a good distance away from the bloody socket. The color indicator is the same for charging/battery life it goes up the rainbow with blue being fully charged and red being almost dead. It will flash red 10 times before shutting off and refusing to turn on once the battery has been depleted.

It cleans easily, just wipe it down with a damp cloth or rinse in running water. Be careful not to get the charge socket end wet, it is splash resistant, but DO NOT submerge your Seed. The manufacturer advises against using alcohol and oil based lubricants/cleansers as they can damage the toy.

Zini provides a 1 year(from date of purchase with receipt) manufacturer's limited warranty, which will exchange the toy for a new one if defective(provided you don't do something stupid to it yourself).
It also comes with a nifty storage pouch, and plug converter so you can use it with US outlets or EU outlets.

Okay, now that I've got all the boring crap out of the way, allow me to gush(heh) about how good the toy works!

The controls are simplistic, + and - signs to increase and decrease vibrations, ans a little "o" in the middle, which is NOT a power button, but rather turns on the pulsation pattern mode. Press and hold the - for 2 seconds to turn the Seed off, which prevents accidental shut off. Holding down the "o" for a few seconds will also show you the amount of battery life in your Seed. The vibrations are lovely, deep and rumbly. Powerful, without being numbing or overwhelming. It's whisper quiet, under a blanket I can barely hear it, open to air, it's still not loud at all.

The 10 pulse patterns are as best I can describe them(with LED color code):
escalating-deescalating pulastion pattern at a slower speed(think of the thwarp-thwarp a certain blue box makes)(white)
same pattern but double speed(teal)
again, same pattern but 3x speed(blue)
measured increase(slow,med,high), stop, repeat(orange)
faster increase with a longer period at the highest speed before reset(pink)
increase(slow,med,high) followed by a shudder(green)
rapid pulsing(violet)
slightly slower pulsing(blurple)
pulse-shudder combo(hot pink)
pulse, 3 second highest vibe, pulse(pink)

by shudder, the best I can describe it is a series of quick stops and starts.

I love my eroscilator, it's my all time #1 vibe, and the Seed will never take it's place in my heart(or somewhere lower), but for ease of use and performance, not to mention ease of hiding incase a small child is suddenly banging at your locked bedroom door demanding entrance, the Seed wins.
