The Mini Dolphin
Reviewed by: Jenne
First impressions:
I really liked the look of this when I first spotted it a while back and was excited when it finally arrived. I was surprised by just how small it was, but I’ve never been one to let size put me off and some of the best toys I’ve reviewed and liked have been on the small size. I loved the instructions that came with this, “look after your dolphin and remember to feed it regularly.”
The one thing I found a little off-putting were the straps that came with it. They were simply pieces of elastic that were attached to the toy itself and it took me ages to figure out how they actually went around my body and fastened. The idea is that the dolphin sits on your clit, or more correctly its nose nuzzles into your clit and titillates you as your walk or move. The remote control which is designed to clip to your waistband is about twice the size of the actual toy, so if you intend to try and wear this for the day make sure you take a long sweater with you…
Solo Play:
I decided to give this baby a real test run and after finally figuring out how to wear and fasten it, which took about 20 minutes, I put the batteries in place, all 3 of them, and clipped the remote control to the waist belt of my jeans. With three speed setting I began with the lowest and was pleasantly surprised at first, what I felt was a nice low powered buzz from my new found friend. On this setting it proved fairly quiet and the buzz proved to be erotic. After a while though I felt I needed more juice so I turned up my friend a notch. By doing so I noticed the noise it produced was reminiscent of a toy aircraft buzzing around my crotch. I found if I tucked my leg behind me when I sat down I could dull the sounds somewhat. The buzz was pretty strong, but nowhere near strong or directed enough to bring me anywhere near orgasm. So I turned it to the last/fastest speed setting and got the noise equivalent of two toy aircraft buzzing around my knickers. This was not pleasant and was really distracting; although I admit on high the stimulus was good. I sat down and soon discovered that this not only dulled the sound, but if I rocked back and forth or rolled my hips from side to side I could almost orgasm from the sensations.
I still found the noise distracting though, and another draw back I soon discovered was rather than make me wetter than the ocean, I was left out in the dry so to speak. The constant rubbing on my clit became more of an annoyance than a pleasure and although it wasn’t uncomfortable to wear from the straps point of view, which was something that had concerned me at first, because of the dryness issue, I couldn’t wear it for long. I also found that once I’d encountered the strongest vibration this could muster, the other speed settings did nothing for quite a while afterwards. It actually left me quite numb.
I’m not one to give up on toys easily and next time I tried using this I basically dumped the straps idea and held it in my hand. This proved to make the dolphin much more pleasurable and also easier to direct. It certainly does pack a lot of power into it’s little nose this way and the intense vibrations felt much better when I was able to actually direct them where they best suited me, rather than leaving it to chance. I’m happy to report that all was not lost with this toy and it wasn’t long before the waves washed over my friend and me and we were swimming in perfect harmony on the crest of an orgasmic wave.
Partner Play:
Hubby liked the look of this as well and could see many potential uses for the dolphin. Like me though the noise level put him off and because much of the vibrations are centered at
