I’m gonna come right out and say it:  if it weren’t for the unfortunate incident when the jelly anal screw I was using (during a cam show no less!) engaged in a painful chemical reaction with the lining of my back passage, this would be my all time least favorite toy.  At least the anal screw was a freebie; this puppy I shelled out the (to me) big bucks for - over $30!

Anyhow, I wanted a g-spot vibrator and Sue Johanson’s Royal Wave vibe looked like a friendly fellow.  I was particularly drawn by the fact that it’s silicone and I have become (thanks to the aforementioned incident with the jelly anal screw) very concerned about what my toys are made of. 

 (I prefer 100% silicone, by the way…read why here and here.)

At the time I bought it nearly a year ago it was also a very affordable toy, since then more companies have started offering silicone toys and prices have come down a bit.  This one was a complete waste of money anyway though, for one simple reason…

See that little hooked bit, underneath the bulbous head?  Think of a fish caught on a line.  NOT the sort of sensation you want in your vagina.  Getting it in is a bitch, but getting it out is even worse.  *shudder*

I tried to like this one, really I did.  I forced myself to use it half a dozen times.  I even came with it a couple of times (by using it only on my clit, or by inserting & leaving, no thrusting at all) but it was just so much of a pain to use that mostly it has sat, untouched, on the shelf in my shower.  Sure, it’s hygenically superior 100% silicone, sure it’s waterproof, with a strong & quiet motor, but who cares about all that if the toy isn’t actually any fun to use?

I suppose if all you ever wanted was something to rub your clit with and you were really, really, in love with the pretty pinkness of it this toy might be ok, but I really can’t imagine recommending it to anybody.  Even if your vag were truly vast and in need of a jumbo sized toy (which the head of this is) I would think you’d be better off going with something larger overall and without that nasty hooked bit.

To be fair, I’ve seen some of Sue Johanson’s newer designs, and they look much more fulfilling than this one.  In fact, I’m rather coveting several of them; the bright colors and organic curves make them look really fun, which is how a toy ought to look in my opinion.  But thankfully, none of them have any icky hooky bits.
