The LAYAspot by Fun Factory is a clitoral vibrator with multiple speeds and settings for whatever fits your fancy. You can use this by yourself for some solo loving or incorporate it into your partner play. The LAYAspot can be used in many other spots besides just the clitoris. You could use it to stimulate a variety of erogenous zones; tease your nipples, your labia, you could run it along the shaft of your partners penis or cup it over his balls during a blow job. The shape of the LAYAspot makes penetration a bit difficult and awkward, and as there is no flared base, I would not suggest using this toy for anal penetration. You could use it to stimulate the outside of the anal region, but for safety's sake, do not try and insert it. The LAYAspot unfortunately is not 100% waterproof, so no taking this little guy in the bathtub with you. Fun Factory does state that the LAYAspot is splash-proof but warns not to submerge it. I don't feel comfortable risking damage so I stay clear of the shower with this guy too.

The LAYAspot is made from Elastomed and plastic. Elastomed is a thermo plastic elastomere; it is non-porous, odorless, and phthalate-free. Elastomed rates an 8 on the Eden Fantasys' safety scale, the plastic also rates an 8 on the safety scale and is non-porous and phthalate-free as well. On my LAYAspot, the green areas are Elastomed and the pink areas are plastic. The plastic is smooth and ridged. The Elastomed is also ridged but has a velvety feel to it similar to silicone, it does not have much give to it at all. I find that it has a drag to it similar to silicone as well. The Elastomed does not seem to attract lint and debris like my silicone toys do.

The LAYAspot is supposedly designed to be laid on your body and rest on the clitoris, either during masturbation or sex with a partner. This did not work for my anatomy, the LAYAspot kept falling off. I found that I had to hold it in place. The design still rested nicely up against the body and for some might just lay there in the perfect position during use. The design of the LAYAspot did fit nicely in the palm of my hand. I find this a nice feature of the LAYAspot as the ergonomic shape makes it easy to cup it in the palm of your hand and glide it across your partner's body, playfully teasing all their erogenous zones.

The LAYAspot measures only 4 inches long. It is about 1.5 inches wide at the tip where the vibrations are concentrated. At its widest part, it is about 4.5 inches in circumference. I was surprised by just how small it was when I took it out of its package, I don't know why I was expecting it to be bigger. Since it is small and it's ergonomic shape is fairly discreet, I think that this vibrator would make a good travel companion. You could even store it in your purse, it wouldn't take very much room. Hey, its smaller than my wallet, my cell phone, and my keys.



It is similar in size to another clitoral vibrator I have, the Luxe Rejuvetane. However, the LAYAspot has a broader head for stimulation than the Luxe Rejuvanate does. I find that I can get more pinpoint stimulation with the Luxe Rejuvenate than with the LAYAspot due to the width of the head. Depending on my mood, I find both applications appealing and I do not knock the LAYAspot for its wider head at all, sometimes I like that more.

The LAYAspot is powered by two AAA batteries that fit into the base of the toy. You will notice when you insert the batteries that the battery cap does not have a rubber o-ring, this toy is not waterproof. The vibrations of the LAYAspot are concentrated at the tip of the toy, opposite of the battery compartment.

On the top of the toy, towards the tip, you will find two buttons; one with a plus sign and one with a negative sign. Pressing down on the plus sign turns the LAYAspot on. It will start at its lowest vibration setting. I would barely call this setting 1 bee, you can hear it more than you can feel it. Press down on the plus button again and you will move up in intensity, the other vibration levels are significantly more powerful than the first. There are 8 steady vibration settings, you can cycle through these by pressing the plus button to get to each stage or you can hold it all the way down to get to the highest setting. Once you are at the highest vibration setting, pressing down on the plus button again will start a patterned vibration.

There are three patterns and you can cycle through them by pressing on the plus button. Once you are in the patterns, to get back to steady vibrations you must press the minus button, as continuing to press on the plus button will just cycle you through the three patterns over and over. Once back in the steady vibrations, you can press the minus button each time to cycle down through the levels to step it down or hold it all the way down. To turn the LAYAspot off, you press down on the minus button while on the lowest vibration setting.

The LAYAspot is relatively quiet, you could use this in one room and no one on the other side of the door would be able to hear what you were up to, even on the highest setting. I also find that after the first level, the vibrations from the LAYAspot are pretty powerful. The first time I used the LAYAspot, I went to cycle through the levels and barely was on the third level before I got off. This toy may be tiny, but it sure packs a punch.

The LAYAspot, being made from Elastomed and plastic, can be used with either silicone-based or water-based lubes. The Elastomed may feel like silicone, but as it is not, you are free to use silicone lube without having to worry about damaging the surface of the toy. To clean, you can use warm water and anti-bacterial soap. The LAYAspot is not waterproof, just splash-proof, so if you do rinse it off under running water, take the cap off and dry out the battery compartment before you put it away.

The LAYAspot came packaged in a cute little brown and red Fun Factory box. The front of the box had a window where you could see the LAYAspot suspended in clear plastic. The back flaps on the back butterflied open to revealed another window to see the LAYAspot through and a variety of information on the LAYAspot in four different languages. I really liked that the back panel had a diagram on it showing the different areas and functions of the LAYAspot. Inside the box, the LAYAspot was encased in what I can only describe as a partial plastic clam shell. It did not snap shut, only hugged around the LAYAspot, and sprung open once released from the box. Also inside the box was an instruction pamphlet printed in 6 different languages and a sample packet of toy fluid. Toy fluid is Fun Factory's water based lubricant, it does contain glycerin however if you happen to have a sensitivity.

I have been very pleased with the LAYAspot, I find myself reaching for this little bug quite often. I call it my sexy little caterpillar because there is something about the shape and bright color that I got my LAYAspot in that reminds me of some colorful caterpillar. I am more than happy to let it crawl all over my body. I enjoy using this one by myself and at the hands of my partner. I also find that the shape of the LAYAspot is perfect for using during sex, as it is not bulky and lays right against the body. It does not get in the way and only adds to the experience.
