Astrovibes Gemini - traditional vibrator discontinued by Fun Factory - review by Diablotin

I would highly recommend the Astrovibes Gemini to someone who is looking for a dildo for vaginal stimulation, since the vibration isn't strong enough to stimulate adequatly the clitoris. The shape makes for lots of thrusting fun, but it didn't seem to hit the g-spot all that well with my wife.

Even if it is not flared, it can be used anally if you are careful since it is a relatively long toy. The soft and bendable silicone makes it comfortable once inserted. The insertion can be difficult because the tip is bendable.

The silicone is soft and flexible. It is lightly textured with artistic representations of arms and hands. The yellow color is bright and fun. While it is written on the packaging that this toy should have no odor, I could detect a slight smell.

Since it is silicone, it is non-porous, which means it can be shared. It also means that you should use water-based lubricants.

The battery end is in plastic and it is doesn't look like it is waterproof, so I wouldn't try it under the shower.

The shape is phallic, symmetrical. It is slimmest at the tip and it gets larger around half-length. The widest part is 5 1/2". The insertable length is 6 1/2". Since it is not flared at the base, this is not an anal toy. One could use it for that, but with caution.

The silicone being soft and flexible, the toy bends at the junction between the slimmest part and the widest when pressure is applied.

The artistic touch on the Astrovibes Gemini is very subtle as it is two pairs of arms and hands. The first one goes toward the tip where the fingers touch. The other one goes toward the end and the hands are open.

There is only one pattern of vibration and it is a continuous one. The only adjustment you can make is how strong those vibrations are. Even at the strongest setting, it wasn't enough to push my wife into ecstasy by means of clitoral stimulation. While inside of her, it felt a little bit better to her.

This toy was a good size for me. The vibrations weren't awesome, but I did like them over time since I love it constant and not too strong. It helped me build up a stronger orgasm.

I really loved the fact that this toy isn't noisy at all. At any setting, it could easily be used without being heard from someone outside the room.

It is an easy toy to care for. Since it is made of silicone, you can wash it in warm water with antibacterial soap or you can bleach the silicone part in 10% bleach solution. Being made of silicone means that it will attract lint, so it could be a good idea to buy a pouch to store it.

The Astrovibes Gemini is encased in a cardboard and plastic box. On the cardboard part, you can read all the information about the product while the plastic part is transparent so you can see what the toys look like. The backside of the box is a three-part panel closed by a magnet. On this panel you can read about all the benefits of silicone and learn about the properties of the toy. It is written in four languages.

The toy also comes with a sample of Toyfluid, Fun Factory water-based lubricant.

Also, I suppose that if one would be patient enough to put the toy back inside after every use, it could be a great storage box.
