Single clit lick ring - finger massager discontinued by Nasstoys - review by Kinkyquing

I've waited quite awhile to review this toy, because I kept hoping that the pros would outweigh the cons but sadly this hasn't been the case.

However, I will start with the pros, because it does have quite a few.

-The vibration. The vibrations on this little toy are quite strong--although it does only have one setting, so it could easily be too strong/weak for some.
-The tongue, especially with application of some water-based lube, does feel quite lifelike.
-It's easy to turn off which is always nice if you get interrupted.

That said, the cons.
-The battery compartment! I've seen other people saying that when they tried to put the batteries in the first time, it felt like they might break the toy. While I agree with this, I find the more annoying aspect putting the cap back on once the batteries are in. Takes me several minutes each time.
-It's a bit noisy for such a small toy, and the noise actually increases when the tongue is slipped onto the vibe, so if you're in a small space (like a dorm) it might not be the best toy for you.
-I also find that the vibrations detract from the tongue-like sensation and it would be nice if they were a bit less buzzy.
-I think the ring is kind of pointless; I found it easier to just hold the toy in place.
-If you're like me and like a little pressure and thus press the toy onto yourself, or if you just move it up and down a bit, the tongue tends to slip and could easily slip off during play.
-I really don't know how bodysafe this tongue is. When I first got it, it felt like it was coated in something but didn't smell. After a few weeks of use and washing, this coating feels to have gone away--and been replaced by a faint rubber smell.
-After less than a month (and not too much/heavy use), the tongue is peeling and coming apart on the inside, which really makes me doubt how safe it is.

Oh how I wanted to set aside the problems I had with this vibe at least until it died so I could get my money's worth.

Sadly, the peeling and smell continued. I believe that the internal peeling led to the tongue becoming unable to really hug the vibe correctly, as the problem with slippage kept getting worse, which was the tipping point in my no longer using it and just using the vibe. The vibe is still decent and I'll keep it around, but I'll probably save the remaining 2 watch batteries for a better quality toy.
