Jumbo life-saver - traditional vibrator by Pipedream - review by CantankerousUnagi

Pipedream’s Jumbo Life Saver is approximately seven inches of hypoallergenic, buzzy gloriousness. I bought one a few years ago, and the bastard is still running - even after several years time. It’s only got one speed which is utilized via a turning dial at the base, so that may be a problem for some people seeking multi-speed toys. It is extremely not-threatening-looking with a reverse tapered design which may appeal to first time users of vibrators or virgins wanting to know what all the hubub is all about. I myself have not used it, but I have used it on female partners who seemed to greatly enjoy the item in question. Jumbo Lifesaver is wholly unremarkable. It is exactly the kind of toy one might expect to find in a cheerleader’s bedside table next to the strawberry scented lotion and copy of Tiger Beat magazine.

Unlike many other traditional vibes, it lacks any significant scents or tastes as it is constructed of PVC. It is not very realistically shaped which may be a turn off for some but a turn on for others. It is slender enough that a first time user might be okay with using it while being strong enough to produce some decent orgasms in a more experienced person. It is probably primarily meant to be a clit vibe although the partner I used it with enjoyed using it for penetration. Size queens need not apply for this toy nor should intense BDSMers.

All in all, it is a great beginner’s vibe. It’d also make a great gag gift due to its amusing packaging. I would suggest this toy to a person who is new to sex toys because of its non-threatening design and easy to use controls. It might be too cheap in both price and quality for a more experienced person to use.

You'll wind up spending more on batteries for this thing than you paid for the vibe itself. It's also gotten progressively louder the longer we've had it.
