I love being massaged and rubbed. I’d also love giving my boyfriend massages if my hands didn’t get tired so fast. And so enters the Contour M.

The Contour M is a ceramic massaging stone. It is curved somewhat like a molar tooth on the bottom, with four rounded nodes. The center is scooped and can hold some liquid if it is laid upside down. The top is rounded and fits in my hand pretty comfortably and easily. The whole stone is glazed in a nice white glaze and has JimmyJane printed on one of the nodes. It is about 3 1/2 inches square and 2 1/2 inches tall.

It comes in a nice looking box. The box is pretty simplistic, like the M, with a few pictures and easy to read gray text. There is a gray stripe around the box. There is information on the benefit of massage stones, as well as information on JimmyJane. There are also pictures that show how to use the Contour M, both by itself and with Contour I. None of the packaging or instructions say at all that this is a sex toy or anything, making this an excellent massager to give as a gift. It’s also very discreet looking because of this.

Inside of the box there is a small instruction booklet. This lists how to take care of Contour M, how to use it for temperature play, and how to use the different features on the stone. The top of the stone, which is called the large dome, is good for broad, shallow contact. Using all four nodes on the bottom is good for concentrated, multi-point stimulation of the muscles. Using one node is good for deep stimulation of the muscle. The instruction booklet also lists some safety warnings, including throwing the stone away if it cracks, breaks, or chips.

I absolutely love the feeling of this stone. The different techniques listed on the packaging do exactly what they state. My favorite is definitely having the four nodes being massaged into my back and shoulders. That helps take away a lot of the shoulder and back pain I experience from working out and working every day. It’s not difficult at all to massage my shoulders myself if my boyfriend is not around to do it, either. I also use this on my legs when they feel sore. Contour M allows me to do more massaging without my hands or wrists getting tired as fast. I usually use it by itself, though it does feel pretty good with massage oil, too. I have only used just regular massage oil, though, not a warming or cooling one.

Since this is ceramic, it can be used for temperature play. It can be cooled by putting it in the fridge or in cold water. It can be warmed by putting it in warm water or using JimmyJane’s Afterglow candle. I stupidly rubbed it on my bare skin right after bringing it in from the mail box. That was pretty cold. It is not recommended to heat this in the microwave.

Contour M can be washed with a mild dish soap and water. It should be toweled dry with a soft towel, to avoid any scratching to the surface.

I have not dropped this yet or anything, so I can’t comment really on how sturdy it is. I keep it stored in its box to keep it from getting dusty or chipping on something.

This is my first ceramic massager, and I am definitely impressed. The quality of the M is fantastic. I know I am going to be buying the Contour I pretty soon to use with M. I definitely recommend this to anyone who loves long massages.

While I try to be as gentle as possible with the Contour M, sometimes that just doesn't happen. I have accidentally dropped this a few times onto a thinly carpeted floor with absolutely no problems. This also fared well during moving, which didn't go as gently as planned. I haven't noticed any scratches or chips in the glaze and have no problems using this or keeping it clean.
