Sturdy Massager for On-Land Play

The Zone Joy is a massager that rests on a tripod base with rubber pegs that help hold the toy in place and somewhat muffle the sounds of the vibrations. One button lets you cycle through seven exciting functions while the other allows you to turn the toy off whenever you wish, at any function. The functions include steady vibration, pulsation, and escalation. The Zone Joy's body is made of plastic, while its insertable head is covered by a removable dual-density, easy-to-clean silicone sleeve.

extremely useful review
The Zone Joy ships in a larger white, unmarked mailing box. The product is packaged in a big clear plastic cylinder with the name of the product and special features and functions displayed on the outside in flowery, pink script. From the text on the packaging, it can be inferred that the Zone Joy has seven different functions, including steady vibration, pulsation, and escalation, runs on 3 AA batteries, and cannot be used in water. The packaging, although it fits tightly together, is easy to open.

The Zone Joy's body is made of pink plastic, with a tripod base that rests on three rubber pegs, presumably to dampen the noise of the massager when used on a hard surface. A pink silicone sleeve fits over the insertable head of the massager. The cross section of the sleeve when removed reveals that the sleeve has an outer and inner layer of silicone connected with strips of silicone, so that the cross section of a small slice of the sleeve looks like IIIII. This creates a firm but slightly plush feeling and also provides double suction to the sleeve.

The insertable head of the toy, when covered with the sleeve, is moderately wide but rather short. The goal of this toy seems to be to stimulate just inside the entrance of the vagina, reaching up no further than where the g-spot would be. It has no special curve to stimulate the g-spot itself, but with a little maneuvering, g-spot stimulation may be possible. The head is contoured such that there is a little knob at the top and then gently flares out as it goes down to the base.

Two buttons control the functions of the Zone Joy. The right button turns the toy on and cycles through the seven different functions. The left button is an "immediate stop" button, which turns off the toy at any time, at any function. The battery compartment is located in the base of the toy and opens much like a remote control's battery compartment, with the plastic lid coming off and revealing the cavity for 3 AA batteries, which are not included. The construction of the base does not provide for safe in-water use. As the packaging states, this toy should not be immersed in water. Because of this, it is convenient that the silicone insertable part of the massager is removable for cleaning purposes.

The seven vibration settings, as stated on the packaging:

* Foreplay
* The Heat
* WhooHoo!
* Orgasmic
* Throbbing
* Rock 'n' Roll
* Surging

The first two functions are steady vibrations. The next few are different variations of pulsation, with interesting settings that simulate intercourse rhythms. The last function is an escalation, starting from a lower intensity steady vibration and "surging" to a higher intensity.

Although there are no instructional diagrams on the packaging, it can be inferred that this toy is used by placing the toy on a bed or other surface (I would assume horizontal, but slanted and vertical surfaces may work too). The user then sits down on this toy, inserting it into either the vagina or the anus (the rather large base makes it safe for anal use). The rubber pegs on the base keep the toy from sliding around too much in addition to dampening the noise somewhat.

This toy produces strong vibrations, but also creates noise proportional to the strength of the vibrations. It could be heard through a closed bedroom door and probably through a thin apartment ceiling.

To clean the Zone Joy, simply remove the silicone sleeve and wash it with warm water and antibacterial soap. Although the toy claims to be silicone, I hesitate to sterilize it via boiling because there is no assurance that it is crafted from 100% silicone. However, I did spot-test the silicone parts of the toy with ID Millennium silicone lube and the sleeve did not seem to react adversely, so the percentage of silicone in the sleeve may be high, if not 100%. The plastic base, with its buttons and battery compartment, is something that I prefer to leave moisture-free. To clean it, remove the batteries and wipe it down with antibacterial wipes.
Experience
I was impressed with the quality of the Zone Joy. It was very sturdily constructed and the packaging was very nice, even if it's not something I would keep lying around the house. To be honest, when I first received this toy I thought it was a back massager. After an unsuccessful attempt at giving a back massage with it, however, I accepted that it was really meant to go into one (or two) place(s) only.

The Zone Joy's vibrations were delightful to use for clitoral stimulation. When it came to insertion, however, I found that the width of the head and the angle at which I was trying to sit down on the toy were rather uncomfortable for me. I had to try a few times before I could find a good angle that let me squat down on the toy comfortably. I would recommend that this toy be used on a hard or sturdy surface, such as the floor, a table, a chair, or even a firmer mattress. Using it in a softer bed made it hard for me to steady myself.

I suggested that my boyfriend try the Zone Joy anally, but he excused himself from it, saying that it was too wide for him. He's a bigger fan of butt toys than I, so if it was too big for him, I can safely assume that it is too big for me!

Overall, I like the Zone Joy immensely. It is made from high quality materials and has good, strong vibrations.

    Thanks for such a detailed review. This just looks so incredibly unique!
  • Contributor: Airlia
    Do you think it's worth the price?
  • Contributor: Miss Cinnamon
    Sienna--Indeed, I have never seen anything like it before! As for the price... eh... Amazon sells it for much cheaper (around $25). If I had to take a blind stab at the price without reference, I would have guessed that it is more $35-$40.

    Does one of the legs vibrate allowing for clit stimulation? I can totally see myself squating on this on the living room floor while giving a blowjob to my man sitting on the couch! It seems so versatile and fun, it would be great if it were water proof though, that way you could also enjoy it in the shower! Mmmmm!

    Nice review, XXXX
  • Contributor: Miss Cinnamon
    Naughty Student--When turned on, the whole massager vibrates so, yes, you can choose any one of the three legs to use for clitoral stimulation if you angle it just right (I would recommend one of the two legs NOT housing the control buttons). Using a hands-free toy during a blow job is a great idea! Thanks for the question and ideas!
  • Contributor: Carrie Ann
    I'm LOVING that idea, Naughty Student.

    Nice review, Miss Cinnamon!
  • Contributor: Miss Cinnamon
    Carrie Ann--Thanks Smile I agree with you about Naughty's idea. I usually don't like to be distracted when I'm giving head, but this could be the perfect "distraction"!

    If you do use it that way let us how it went Winking

    What an interesting toy!
  • Contributor: TinyTease
    This is an interesting toy...did you find the controls to be a bit awkward to use when you were riding this toy? I imagine larger persons may have a difficult time switching settings.
  • Contributor: Miss Cinnamon
    The controls are not too difficult to access when I ride this toy. Then again, the way I use the toy, I simply push one button to turn it on and to find my favorite vibration setting (I like to stick with the steady vibrations--they get the job done for me!) and then ride away to my heart's content. When I'm done, I get off the toy and push the stop button. Most times, I don't even need to manage the controls while I'm on the toy.

    However, for those who would like a little more variety during playtime and wish to cycle through functions while they are riding the toy, the buttons aren't exactly ergonomic, but they are easy to use. I don't think they would be too much of a hassle even for larger body types. All one would need to do is wedge a thumb in and press the right button. I'm afraid I don't have much of a perspective on this, since I am more petite in body. My boyfriend has a tummee, but he won't let me borrow it Sad face
