Club Vibe 2.OH - strap-on vibrator by OhMiBod - review by PrettyPistol

Maybe I just set my expectations too high---so far I have had no success what so ever with remote controlled vibrators. I really thought that this one would be different, but alas, they are all built the same.

As a stand-alone vibrator, I don't have many qualms. It's rechargeable, powerful, and the shape is quite pleasing. As a wireless remote controlled vibrator, it lacks range, especially on ambient mode. The mic was on my desk next to my speaker and I was not even 3 feet away, the vibrator's response was weak and almost unnoticeable. As a discreet toy in a club environment, a very loud club environment, the mic is cumbersome and hard to conceal, and the vibrator does not pick up the ambient sounds as well as promised. It is also one of the loudest vibrators I own, which makes it impossible to be discreet.

One of my biggest disappointments was the iPhone app, which is advertised to work with their full line of products. It is never thoroughly explained how to "attach" the vibrator, and once I discovered the they meant "plug it into your i(device) via audio jack" it was apparent that the app clearly didn't work with an ambient mic sensor that does not have a direct audio input. This was disappointing because I bought this product under the impression that I would be able to control the vibrator wirelessly with my iPhone, which is much much much more discreet than a big bright pink remote.

Overall, it just does not deliver what it promises, and certainly is not worth the price. If you are looking for a toy that works with music, try one that has a direct audio input---the ambient noise response offered is not powerful or sensitive enough. If you want a toy that can be controlled wirelessly, look for a product that does just that. I believe that there are many improvements to be made, and that to pull this off correctly with the technology available right now would make it too expensive for most people to buy.

Despite all the disappointments, I am still deeply in love with this idea and I can not wait until it is executed to its full potential.

My partner and I decided to use it in public, he with the remote. Not only did he have to be within five feet for the remote to connect, but it was impossible to be discreet. In fact, someone even asked if a phone was ringing---and it was only on the first speed!
