There are a few things that I need to get out of the way before I buckle down and detail my sexcapades with this beautiful, phallic wonder. First of all, this thing is bigger than the pictures let on. When I took it out of the box, its girth and length threw me off guard. It's not huge, it's just bigger than what I expected. The middle of it is skinny, but gets wider at the base as you go down. It's about 7.75" in total length, and about 6.25" of that is insert able before it becomes difficult to press the buttons, but everyone's body is different and if your vagina is more shallow you won't be able to insert it that much. Mine is a little more shallow than average, and after insertion I still had plenty of room to press the buttons near the base without straining my wrist or discomfort. Second, it comes with a cellphone charm that proudly proclaims Picobong on it. Yes, really. Just take a second to process that. And finally, the company name.
Picobong. Pico bong. Pico. Bong. Say it a few times, say it out loud, visit a forum detailing how ridiculous the name sounds, do whatever you need to do and know that I'm right here with you. What were you trying to go for here, lelo? Did you want to sound like billabong? Did you want to seem like the young, hip company that would seem cool to the type of people who have bob Marley posters hanging in their place of residence in a serious, un-ironic way? Did you want to appeal to hackey sack players and surfers, hoping that they'd have one of your butt plugs in their ass, proud of how it stayed in place even when they wiped out?
My feelings about this company are mixed. For those who don't know, Picobong is the sister company of Lelo, a well-respected and (for the most part) high-quality pleasure object company. They came out with Picobong to appeal to a younger crowd, which is all too obvious by their bright colors and cheaper prices. The silicone is still as soft, but the toys are not rechargeable which is part of the reason why they're cheaper, but also speaks to how careless us millennials are with batteries! Also, apparently clitoris is a dirty word because C-spot is their preferred term for that nub above our vulvas. Well guess what, Picobong? Clitoris. Clitoris. CLITORIS!!! Someone should start a version of the penis game, but with clitoris. Now that would be a game changer.
Anyways, back to the product itself. As I mentioned earlier, it is not rechargeable. Two AAA batteries (not included) can get you up to two hours of playtime. But don't just leave it buzzing, because you will never want to put batteries into it again. Let me explain. The toy is waterproof, and the battery cap is at the base. You twist it off, put the batteries in, then twist it back on. Easy, right? Not so much. The cap is like nothing I've ever dealt with. It's not like a pill bottle. It's not like anything, really. It's very tight, and I respect that. It has to be, to be waterproof. But it took me a good twenty minutes to twist the cap on and off a few times so I could correctly put in the batteries, and that was when I wasn't using it. I can't imagine the frustration and clit boner killer that would have ensued if it crapped out on me in the middle of rubbing one out. I also can't imagine how rage-inducing it would be to try and switch batteries when my hands and the vibrator are covered in lube and vag gunk.
And somehow...the ridiculous name, the fussy battery compartment, none of that matters when this beauty is sliding in and out of me. It just doesn't. It fits my anatomy perfectly, and I only needed a little bit of lube for insertion. The curved head is perfect for touching my G-spot, and it's also perfect for clit stimulation as well. The noise is pretty quiet until you get to some of the higher settings, and at that point you'll be moaning so you shouldn't try to pull off rubbing one out with someone in too close proximity to you. The vibration strength is solid. Nothing to write home about, but not weak and buzzy either. It rumbles throughout the tip and the base, so you're really getting the full experience, but it honestly works as a dildo as well.
There's three buttons: +, -, and M. To turn it on, press and hold on the +. For turning it off (after you've squirted, of course) press and hold on the - button. To increase the intensity, press the +, and decrease it by pressing the -. The M button, in the middle, cycles through the 12 modes of pulsing vibrations (fairly steady) and 11 patterns. I'm not much of a patterns girl, but it's nice to mix things up. It does give the user a lot of control without complicating things, which is another thing that makes this toy so great.
The toy is silicone, so use a water-based lube with it. Or just take it in the tub with you.
It's simple, and well-executed which is what I'm trying to convey in this review. While the toy has its downfalls, they are petty in comparison to what it offers. I don't know if I'd recommend this to someone as a first time vibrator. It's a good, cost- effective product and has versatility with internal and external use, but as someone who just recently found her G-spot, it might be a little overwhelming to someone who's still exploring, and between the insertable length and vibration strength, it could easily scare someone who's not experienced (I'm not- and it did scare me a little bit)
No toy is perfect (I have yet to try the Lelo Mona) but this is the best toy I've tried so far. It has the shape of the Lelo Ella, and it's everything the Lelo Gigi wanted to be, but fell short of. Would I recommend it to newcomers? Probably not. But seasoned users wouldn't get bored with it. It has a little something for everybody, and you definitely get your money's worth.
So get one of these, and come with me to climb the highest mountain. When we get to the top we'll scream the beautiful word clitoris, loud and proud.
The Picobong Moka G-vibe comes in cerise, purple, and a pale, sky blue.
