Layaspot is designed to stimulate the clitoris and vulva. It can be used alone or with other toys, but I think it's best use is during sex with a partner since it is small enough to not get in the way. The curved design means it also fits better onto men's bodies than most vibrators do. Layaspot was one of my first toys and I think it is great for beginners. Layaspot is water-resistant but not waterproof; you can use it in the shower but shouldn't submerge it.

The black areas are elastomed and the silver areas are plastic so it is body safe, non-porous, and phthalates-free. The toy is hard and smooth. The elastomed areas have a bit of a rubbery feel to them, but are not squishy at all.

Layaspot is designed to fit over the pubic bone, but unfortunately it doesn't fit my body perfectly. When I place the toy against my pubic bone the area that is meant to be in contact with my clit arches away from my body. I would need it to be more rounded and have less of a sharp angle to properly fit me. I can shift the toy up a little so that the lower part of the toy makes contact with my clit, but when I use it that way the top part digs into my mons a bit. I wish that Laya had some flexibility so that I could fit it to my body, but then I might not be able to get the pressure I need.

When my Layaspot arrived, I was a bit surprised by the size; it was smaller than I had expected. The small size makes it fit easily between labia, into the palm of the hand, and between partners. It also makes this and easy toy to store, hide, or travel with, especially since you can lock the controls.

The design is attractive and a bit futuristic looking and doesn't scream sex toy. This vibrator comes in lots of interesting colour combinations but I wasn't very adventurous and went with simple black and silver.

This toy works best for me during sex with a partner since I am more aroused and have extra stimulation which makes it easier for me to orgasm. Layaspot is not something I grab for a quick masturbation session.

The vibrations are located in the wide end of the toy but carry throughout. They are medium in pitch and fairly strong. Layaspot is a little noisier than I would like. It isn't loud enough to bother me when I'm alone, but I would prefer something quieter to use with a partner.

The controls are fairly simple to use. There are 2 buttons, marked with + and - signs. There is a red light behind them which makes it easy to operate in the dark. Holding the + turns the toy onto its lowest vibration setting, and pressing or holding it will take you through the 8 speeds of straight vibrations. Once you reach the highest level, holding the button will take you through the 3 functions: slow escalating, fast escalating and pulsing. You can scroll through the functions by pressing the + button and pressing the - will take you back to steady vibrations. To turn the toy off you must go to the lowest vibration setting then press and hold the - button. To lock or unlock the controls, press and hold both buttons.

Layaspot runs on two AAA batteries, which I find a bit inconvenient since almost all of my toys take AA's.

The product page says that this toy is waterproof, but when I submerged it for a few minutes water leaked into the battery compartment. I had no problems with washing it under running water, so it should be fine for shower use.

Layaspot is easy to clean; just wash it with soap and water or use a toy cleaner. It is non-porous but can't be fully disinfected. Any lubricant can be used with this toy.

Layaspot comes in an attractive cardboard box that can be used for gift giving, but wouldn't work well for long term storage. I wouldn't call it discreet since you can see the toy through a plastic window, but it is classy. Instructions and a sample of lube are included.
