Now, I must admit my ignorance: I have no idea who Nikki is. I do know I tend to shy away from [Insert Star here]’s [Insert Toy Here] because they tend to be a lot of hype and expect the toy to tell simply because of who is half naked on the front of the package. I also know that I have heard more discourage reviews of pump style toys for women than encouraging ones and it took quite a while for me to come around to the idea and, when I did, it seemed to me like most of them don’t look fantastic. They’re still lagging when it comes to quality. Still, I thought this concept has a lot of potential and selected Nikki’s Vibrating Dual Pleasure Pump because, while it does boast a half naked so and so, it also seemed to be a better toy than many others pumps.
This toy is made up of a suction cup with purple pump and a small vibrator which reminds me of a mini pocket rocket minus the end you touch yourself with – hence the “dual pleasure,” or so I assume. In fact, the suction cup is actually a part of the vibrator in a way. I thought the combination of both parts was actually pretty good. Nikki’s Vibrating Dual Pleasure Pump showed up in a small paperboard box, was encased in a plastic bag and also included 6 batteries. 6! This is because the vibrating portion of the toy takes 3 batteries at a time so it’s nice to have extra but I don’t see myself running out to the store to replace these watch-style batteries on a frequent basis.
Although this toy was marketed more as a nipple pump and is much smaller than most clit pumps (the circumference of the cup is almost exactly the size of a dime), I used it on my clit instead. I first played around suctioning the cup to my finger and was surprised at the strength of the suction. It wasn’t like I couldn’t break the seal, but it latched on to my finger right away and I was immediately more hopeful about this toy than I had been when I first ordered it.
Trying out the vibrator, on the other hand, was disappointing. The batteries wanted to fall into the toy the wrong way and the twist-on battery cap (you know the on, off, open style) didn’t want to close. That style is also extremely easy to accidentally open when you’re turning it off. The vibrations were extremely weak, as I expected them to be, considering their power source. Watch batteries just don’t pack a lot of punch and, apparently, don’t last long either. My first use was probably 20 – 30 minutes and the second time I picked up this toy to play, they were dead. I was shocked! I assume I will get another 30 minutes vibration out of this toy – if that – and then it will fall to the bottom of my toy box because I am not going to replace 3 watch batteries every time I play.
I was going to give this toy a chance, anyway and set to try this out on my erogenous zones and headed straight to my clitoris with the pump. Unfortunately, because of the size, it was a bit of a guessing game to position the cup correctly over my clit. Actually, I must have guessed pretty well because I got it right the first time, without having to use my fingers to feel my way around. Still, other times proved more difficult and I did have to do some finger feelin’.
I was able to create a suction right away by squeezing the pump and turned the vibration on as well. Overall, the vibration is nothing I would use alone and it certainly won’t send me over the edge but Nikki’s Vibrating Dual Pleasure Pump would probably be a tad bland without it.
I do think pump could be improved. I would have liked something with more progressive pressure (like the blood pressure cuff, I guess) so that I could increase the suction by pumping. I wanted it to feel more like someone was sucking on my clit. I found myself wanting to pump again, which actually breaks the seal rather than providing more suction. However, you never have to worry about being sucked into some swirling vortex; one quick squeeze and your tender parts are free – whether for better or worse is up to you.
I enjoyed tugging lightly at this sex toy while it was secured to my clit. It provided a very different sort of stimulation. I also played with unsucking and resucking Nikki’s Vibrating Dual Pleasure Pump to my clit but I think both of these methods would have been improved with a bigger, stronger suction cup (like I said, progressively suction).
By the way, I did try this as a nipple toy and found I could not get it to suck around my nipples at all. My nipples seemed too large (which I don’t think they’re abnormally large by any shot) but it could be that the nipple area is dry, compared to the clitoral area which is more moist and possible more conducive to suction. Either way, my nipples aren’t sensitive at all so it didn’t do anything for me there.
While this was both nice and different and I definitely think that suction style sex toysare something every woman should at least try, it was not an amazing sex toy. It wasn’t something which was going to get me off by its features alone but I do not have a super sensitive clit. It would be better for teasing or warm up and I don’t really do that. I would rather have a really powerful suction cup which allows me to adjust the level of suction.
I’m not sure if what I want actually exists or maybe I have to design it myself; Nikki’s Vibrating Dual Pleasure Pump had stronger suction than I expected but it just didn’t do a whole lot and I cannot recommend this toy for anything other than warm up. If you want a toy which does it all, this is not the toy for you.
