The German Surprise!

The Insigno can be used for vaginal penetration or clitoral stimulation.

For vaginal penetration, I found it to be the perfect size. It didn't seem to be too big or too small. There are small decorative spots that stick up all over the toy, which are very appealing, but I could not feel them very much at all. Other than the small spots that stick up, it is a very smooth and soft toy. It's very flexible at the top, and more firm towards the bottom. I personally don't like to feel the vibrations when inside of me for some reason, but for anyone who does, it has some pretty strong vibrations behind it.

For clitoral stimulation, which I prefer over penetration by a toy, it did well also. It had softer and stronger vibrations, and also 3 vibration patterns. I did not even realize when I received this toy, that it had the vibration patterns, so that was a great suprise! Unfortunately, since the tip of the toy was too thick and the vibrations were not as strong as I'm used to, it was not able to bring me to orgasm, although very close. It will definitely work for those who are more sensitive to vibrations, and even those in the middle I think.

I think the Insigno would be great for female solo play, or even couple play. It's got such a soft texture that it would be great for massage all over the body. I do not recommend this toy for anal penetration because it does not have a flared base.

The Insigno is made of Silicone. A very safe material. It is non-porous, phthalates free, hypo-allergenic and latex free. It has anti-bacterial properties and is easy to keep clean. Silicone is also a strong material. It does not fall apart with extended play. So it should last you a long time!

When first opening the package, there was not very much of a smell at all. A very faint smell of rubber was all that could be detected. It had to be held close to your nose to even smell that much. After one wash, it smelled like the soap I used to wash it with. It did not have any taste at all. It is a very soft, smooth toy and very flexible. It does have small decorative bumps that are supposed to add extra stimulation, but I could not personally feel them.

The Insigno is very appealing, like all of the other SinFive products! Mine is raspberry colored. It has what is called a royal lily design all over the shaft of the toy. It looks great, but I personally could not feel the raised royal lilies. It's a pretty large toy at 8 inches long and an insertable length of 6.5 inches. It's also very heavy, which I found only to be a slight problem while using it. It weighs one pound. My arm did get a little tired holding it up after a while, but it wasn't too bad. It is 1.5 inches in diameter at the thickest point of the toy, which of course is near the bottom.

As I mentioned above, the toy was great size for vaginal penetration, for myself personally. However the bigger rounded tip did not do enough for me, for clitoral stimulation. I need something with more of a point to it.

This toy is not very easy to hide because of it's size. So make sure you have somewhere with a lot of room to keep it in. I would say it's not good for discreet travel, because of it's size, and not having a case or bag for it. Any toy really can be taken on travel un-discreetly though.

The Insigno has six different vibration functions. There are three speeds, from low to high. There are also three vibration patterns. This is my first toy with patterns, so it was fun to try out. The first pattern goes back and forth from slow to fast, in a more slow manner. The second pattern goes back and forth from slow to fast, quickly. The third pattern goes back and forth from slow to fast in a more rollercoaster manner. It's more random. I prefer the toy on high, or the second pattern.

I absolutely am in love with the controls for the Insigno. I had to search the instruction booklet to find the controls, because they are that well hidden and out of the way. On the side of the toy, near the bottom, there is a small raised plus (+) and minus (-) sign. To operate the buttons, you just push on either one, and it clicks easily. To turn the toy on, you push the plus symbol. Push once for low, twice for medium, three times for high, then the fourth, fifth and sixth time you push, will be for the 3 patterns. To shut the toy off, you hold the minus sign for a few seconds until it turns off.

The Insigno was surprisingly quiet for the amount of power that was behind the toy. Even on high, you would be safe to use under a thick blanket or with the door closed. It was very quiet in my opinion. I had low music playing in the background and a fan going, and I could not even hear it at all myself while using it.

This toy is supposed to be waterproof. I have not fully submersed it in water yet, but it has gotten wet and seems to be holding up very well. Where the bottom comes off for the batteries, there is a pretty thick rubber seal, so it should hold up well in the water. It can also be used for temperature play. If you stick it in warm water for a few minute, you will have a nice, warm toy to use.

The Insigno is very easy to care for. It does attract dust and lint, so you should find a safe place to store it, preferably air tight. It's also easy to clean. It can be washed with warm water and soap or a toy cleaner. It can be boiled for a few minutes. It can also be put in the top rack of a dishwasher.

The battery compartment is very easy to get to. All you have to do is twist off the bottom. The Insigno takes two AA batteries. It's very simple. Then twist the bottom right back on. Just like a cap on a bottle of water.

The Insigno is only compatible with water based lubricants.

The Insigno came in a regular postal box with no indication of what was inside. The Insigno package itself, was pretty cute. It was in a simple white box, with a picture on the outside of what you would find inside. It can be used in its original package for a gift. However, I don't think it should be used to store the toy for a couple of reasons. One is that it is a pretty large box, probably 5 or 6 inches wide, and maybe 10 or 11 inches tall, and about 1.5 inches deep. So it will take up a lot of room. Also, it does not seal tightly at all, so it lets in dust and lint. It was already slightly dusty when I received it. For a little while, until you find a better storage area, the original package would be a good choice. I just need to find something better to hold it in.

I was very surprised to find an instruction booklet inside the box. Of the few toys I've gotten from Eden Fantasys so far, none have had an instruction booklet. In the instruction booklet, there are about 4 pages of instructions ranging from how to put in the batteries to how to control the toy. There's not a lot of detailed instructions, but it's enough to let you know how to use your new toy. It definitely came in handy for me when I could not find out how to turn the toy on. Another plus, is that the instructions came in about 15 different languages! After I noticed it came in that many different languages, I noticed German was in the booklet before English even. So I then realized the toy was made in Germany. I hadn't known that before.

I enjoyed the Insigno very much. It was a great size for me. It was powerful and quiet. Unfortunately not powerful enough to bring orgasm from clitoral stimulation alone. With penetration the toy was smooth and comfortable. Also, I just love the looks of the toy. It's so appealing. I would leave it sit out as decoration if I could, however it's easy to tell what it is. Overall I think this toy would be great for females alone, couple play, massage, or whatever your mind can come up with.
