Strap-On-Me Vibrating Strap-on Double
This is a 'pre' review of the Strap-On-Me Vibrating Strap-on Double, because I have not used this toy with a partner (#COVIDLife), but I checked it out solo, and it blew my mind. To explain why it blew my mind, let me first offer up a bit of information, both educational and personal.
Clitoral Education
This is a 3D model of a clitoris.
There is so much here to play with! Most folks, however, concentrate all their attention on the little part in the top left, which is the only part that surfaces outside of the body.
There is (not so) recent information that rather than there being a 'G-Spot', there is simply this gorgeous, and fairly elaborate, clitoral structure. That would explain a lot.
When you look at it, no wonder penetrative sex, whether anal or vaginal, can result in so much pleasure. But it also explains why some women respond to the very specific 'come hither' stimulation designed to stimulate the 'G-Spot', and some don't. We are all different, and there are a myriad of ways to play with the entire clitoris. Now that you've seen the model, I'll bet your mind is whirling with possibilities. Mine did, the first time I saw it.
The Personal Stuff
For clitoral stimulation, I've historically been a Le Wand kind of gal (better than the magic wand IMO). I need pretty intense stimulation, and it was always external. One day a partner showed me that some pretty cool stuff can happen internally, too. While vaginal penetration felt good, I had never experienced orgasms that way, or even come close. But the focused internal stimulation he showed me was, while not orgasmic, impressive. So I did some solo exploration.
For me, the holy grail turned out to be periodic strong vibrations (with a Lelo Gigi 2) on the area most people think of as the 'G-Spot'. Holy Clitoris, Batman! That felt exquisite. Combined with external clitoral vibration (with Le Wand), I went to places I'd never been. Delightful places that had me making involuntary noises and shuddering with the exquisitely long, drawn-out, all-encompassing peaks of full-body, tingling pleasure. I kid you not.
Thing was, operating two toys at once took some doing, but it was so worth it. The sensation felt like a larger part of me was involved, and it was; the entire clitoris instead of just the tip. Additionally, there was a feeling of inevitability, like the combination of internal and external left me no choice but to experience hitherto unknown depths (and heights) of bliss.
So okay - that's the pertinent part of my sexual history. Have I ever had an orgasm while pegging a partner? No. To try and duplicate that aforementioned bliss with a pegging toy, it needs to have internal and external vibration. Because my attention tends to be focused on my partner's pleasure, I need that element of inevitability, that feeling of being swept up. Giving is easy for me. Receiving is more difficult. I tried a few toys with just external vibe, but it felt like an exercise in frustration. I couldn't get there.
New Toy on the Block!
Enter the Game-Changer Toy, the Strap-On-Me Vibrating Strap-on Double.
Note: While I steadfastly refuse to grace toys of this type with the word 'strapless', because they aren't, a well-made double can be an excellent pegging toy. It gives you more tactile feedback when pegging your partner.
How? The toy that is inside the receiver is also inside you instead of just up against your vulva (or body). You can simply feel more. I love them.
Measurements - Three Sizes
The Strap On Me Vibrating Strap-On Double is available in three sizes:
- Medium: Diameter: 1.3″, Insertable Length: 6.14″
- Large: Diameter: 1.46″, Insertable Length: 6.22″
- XL: Diameter: 1.77″, Insertable Length: 6.3″
The bulb end is 2.5" in length and just under 1.5" in diameter for all sizes of shaft.
Using the Remote
Excellent user interface. No need to turn on the remote first, just the toy. Press the Power button on the strap-on. It will vibrate twice, and can now be operated by the remote. The remote is very user-friendly. The three vibes in the strap-on all have their own button.
To start one of the vibes, simply press the button. There are three vibe patterns for each vibe. The first is a continuous vibration. Pressing the same vibe button again will give you slow intermittent. One more press will give you fast intermittent. It cycles through those patterns.
Each pattern has 3 strengths. It will start on low and can be changed to low/med/high by pressing the +/- buttons . The strongest level is still nicely rumbly and not buzzy. (Well done!) There are lights next to the vibe buttons that light up when the vibe is turned on. The lights reflect not only the power level, getting brighter as the vibe is stronger, but blink to match the pattern chosen, too. That added cool detail is brilliant, I must say!
To turn off one vibe and leave another running, use a long press for the vibe you want to turn off. If you want to turn all of them off, long press the minus and all will go silent. This comes in handy after the orgasm!
Operating Manually
Manual operation is limited. You can long press the power button to turn on (will vibrate twice). A short press will turn ALL vibes on, and consecutive presses will toggle through low/med/high. You have no other choices in manual mode. (Mental note - always have an extra battery for this toy at the ready.)
Operation Limitations
While you can adjust the vibe pattern for each individual vibe, the strength you choose for one will affect them all. Example. I turn on the bulb vibe and kick it up to high. Leaving it on, I turn on the clit vibe. The clit vibe will start on high. If I adjust it down to medium, the bulb will go to medium, too. At first I thought, I'd really like the ability to independently change the strengths on the different vibes. Realistically, that level of complexity might be a tad overwhelming and distracting from the fucking of lovely asses (or whatever you are fucking), though. Hard to say.
Since I am testing this Strap-On-Me Vibrating Strap-on Double without a partner, I can foresee a possible situation where I want my vibes on high but my partner wants their vibe (located in the head of the shaft) on low. Sometimes continuous or too strong vibes can numb out a prostate/pegging experience. I could still put his on intermittent, or just hand him the remote to turn his on and off as he prefers.
Bendable/Posable
The juncture between the bulb and the shaft has a strong wire which can be bent to change the angle of the Strap-On-Me Vibrating Strap-on Double. This, I am certain, will come in handy when different positions require different toy angles. The wire is strong and will hold the angle while pegging.
General Appearance
Silky smooth silicone. A strip of metallic ABS at the base of the shaft. The base of the shaft where the clitoral vibe is, is inflexible. About 1/2 way up the shaft, it will bend (no vibe inside). I compared it to toys I know the shore hardness of, and the best match was 20A. The head is solid because there is a vibe in there. This is a pretty firm toy, mostly because of the hardware inside it. The ability to bend it is good, because otherwise I suspect it might be a tad too firm for really sensitive prostates in different positions.
(Note: If the receiver prefers a little less firmness, and the giver does not prefer internal vibrations, Strap On Me makes a non-vibrating model as well!)
Harness Compatibility
I used my SpareParts Sasha, which fits me snugly (gained a few pounds during this pandemic). It held the toy in well, but also did a great job of holding it against my clit. I put the toy in first, then pulled on the harness, sticking the shaft through the hole as I pulled it up.
While I was not actively fucking a partner, I did my best to duplicate that by lying face down and fucking a pile of pillows. I found that for me, a slow grinding motion felt best, so I am actually kind of glad the toy is not longer, because I was pressing against it fairly hard. I could picture a longer toy being too much for the receiver if I was buried to the hilt and just grinding into him.
Now, I mentioned before that I have not had an orgasm while pegging yet. I do think an important factor is that my technique of masturbation doesn't involve movement. I am passive when I self-pleasure. When I tried fucking my pillows with this toy, I got close! Finally I turned over and left the toy still inserted and just grabbed the shaft. That allowed me to finesse it, and I enjoyed one of those lovely blended internal and external orgasms that left me glowing for a while afterwards. Yum.
Loudness
So how does it measure up in the sound department? This is a medium noise toy. Not quiet, but not horribly loud, either. The noise level range is given as is 50 - 60 dB. 50dB is compared to a refrigerator, and 60dB to normal conversation.
Care and Cleaning
To clean it, they suggest you submerge it (waterproof) and they advise no alcohol or acetone, just anti-bacterial soap. The strip of ABS plastic at the base of the shaft looks beautiful, but because of the location, will likely require diligent toothbrush work. I'm glad I have a UV Sanitizer for one more level of sanitizing since alcohol is a no-no.
Charging and Use Time
A USB charging cord is included, with a lovely tag identifying it (this becomes important when you have a lot of toys). Total charging time is 4 hours. Run time 'about 45 minutes' on a full charge. That's a lotta pegging! The strap-on has an auto-off after 10 minutes, which is awesome.
The only question I could not find the answer to is about the remote. If you press one of the vibe buttons on the remote while the strap-on is off, it will light up and act like it does when you are using it. I don't believe it has an auto-off feature (didn't want to drain the battery), so store the remote somewhere those buttons cannot get pressed accidentally. (Second mental note to get those batteries.) They do include a battery with purchase, and you need to open up the remote to remove the little tape before it will work.
Do I love the Strap-On-Me Vibrating Strap-on Double?
Well, as far as I have been able to test it....Oh yes. This double is a game-changer for me. Remember that internal/external stimulation I waxed poetic about? This double duplicates that phenomenally well! For me the internal vibe is the best, because it's strong and rumbly and just right. Combined with the vibe on the clitoral surface, helloooo, inevitability! Mind blown. My plan is to continue fucking my pillows and get really good at finding my bliss, in preparation for when this pandemic subsides and I can resume nailing asses to the mattress (and fucking them lovingly, too).
For others? Well, we are all different, but... While this is a bold statement, I truly believe the Strap On Me Vibrating Strap-On Double is a game-changer in the world of pegging as far as giver satisfaction!
