Before I delve into this review, let's gather some context. My wife loves to stimulate her clit while having sex: cowgirl, missionary, doggy, laying on her stomach, etc. In most cases, a bullet vibe works great. But in the missionary position, it becomes overcomplicated. If we attempt to hold the vibrator between our bodies, after a few thrusts, it wriggles out from between us. If she holds the vibrator in place, then her hand prevents us from deep, satisfying penetration. So when we found the Tiani 3--a hands-free clit stimulator--we had to have it.

Of course, as with all Lelo products, your sex toy is luxury. The Tiani comes in a flat black "viola" box with "lelo" etched into the top. Take off the top, and the pink vibrator and vibrating controller and resting in velvet inlays. The stark contrast between the hot pink and the black velvet is sexy and exciting. Within seconds, I was already fantasizing about both the sex toy and myself being in my wife at the same time. And my wife has confirmed, she was definitely feeling a little more slippery.

But we had to resist the urge to use it immediately. We wanted to make sure it was fully charged to prevent it from dying mid-use. We didn't mind though, anticipation makes the act all the more worth it.

That night, we got into bed. I started off giving her a sensual massage, and midway through, I grabbed the Tiani, turned it on, and slipped it inside of her--she was noticeably ready for it. She noticed that because the clitoral vibrating head had a lot of surface area, making it comfortable for her to put her weight into it while laying on her belly. It allows for a deep, penetrating vibration which is a nice change from the superficial tickle a bullet will get you. What's more, the vibrator was hands-free. She could keep her in the most comfortable position for her while I massaged and tickled her back, ass, and thighs, and the vibrator continued to build massive sexual tension.

After about 5-10 more minutes, I joined the Tiani inside of her.

It was... terrible. I know, I was as let down as you are reading this. The insertable, g-spot stimulating arm is unforgivingly firm. Every time I thrust, I was like having someone's knuckle forcefully rub along my urethra on the bottom of my penis. It's almost a burning sensation. But no matter, maybe it's great for missionary.

It is not great for missionary. It delivered a similar sensation not to the top of my penis. I don't know how to describe it other than a hard localized nub rubbing up and down my shaft.

My wife had a similar experience. The g-spot stimulating arm definitely targeted her g-spot, but it delivers only sharp pain. It's highly unpleasant, and we both agreed we needed it out if either of us wanted a chance to come.

Of course, we continued to use it when I would massage her. You can't beat the hands-free capabilities of this insertable clitoral vibe. And I'm happy to report that we found an alternative methodology for using the Tiani.

As I said before, our biggest problem was my wife's inability to satisfactorily stimulate her clit during missionary sex. As it turns out, the Tiani was still the solution to this problem. Instead of my wife putting the insertable arm inside herself, she holds it. She positions the vibrating head on her clit and holds the arm near her hip bone. Now her hand is out of the way during missionary, she is getting heavy vibrations right where she needs them, and we're still able to have deep, satisfying sex.

What's more, the Tiani is great for public play. When we go out, she slides in the Tiani, and I hold onto the remote vibrator, and I pleasure and tease her the whole time we're out: driving, walking around a store, eating at a restaurant. Quick advice: if you're wearing it, don't wear your most dainty panties. You need something supportive to keep it in place if you want to have fun.

So the Tiani didn't work out like we had hoped, but it's still our favorite sex toy. Tiani is the only toy that allows us to have missionary sex with a reliable clitoral vibe without having unwanted hands in the way.

Now let's get down to the specifics on the vibrations. They're satisfying. Like I said before, the vibrations are penetrating. When she's laying on her stomach, holding the vibrator against herself, I can feel the vibrations engulfing my penis when I'm inside her. It's so intense, that it sometimes brings me to the edge faster than I'd like.

Naturally, she loves the intense vibes. That's why Tiani is her go-to toy. Tiani also has many vibration patterns that we don't play with too much. My wife likes a steady, strong vibe, and this toy has no problems delivering.

Out of all the vibrators we've tried for during-sex pleasure, my wife says the Tiani 3 is by far gives her the most intense orgasms. Not necessarily because of its vibration intensity--though it's powerful--, but rather because of its convince and maneuverability. She can get it exactly where she needs it to be without hands getting in the way. Not to mention that it's also a great warm-up tool during foreplay. As long as you're not using the Tiani 3 as intended, you're guaranteed to have a gratifying sexual experience.
