A couple weeks ago I played around with
JimmyJane's Form 2 at a toy shop in Philadelphia. The quiet, cute toy felt amazing in my hands and I knew I wanted one. Fast forward to last night, I was at
Fairvilla's Shades of Grey party and was reintroduced to the Form 2. A friend of mine was in attendance who owed me for helping him out with some editing, so rather than him paying me cash, I asked if he'd instead spend the money buying me a new toy. He did, and now I'm the very proud owner of a Form 2. A few friends have asked for my review of the toy, so here you go:
First Glance:
The toy is designed to be the "ears only" of a traditional Rabbit vibrator. The box gives basic information, which is nice, but to really understand why you'd possibly want this toy, you need to pick it up and put your fingers between the ears. The toy is definitely cute, but it also isn't a discreet toy: anyone that sees the shape knows what it's for.
In The Box:
The Form 2 comes with a small docking/charging station and a user's manual written in 6 different languages.
Product Details:
The Form 2 has 5 different power levels, with 4 vibration modes.
Charging time: 2 hours.
Usage time: 7+ hours according to the booklet (I've only had it for less than 24 hours, 10 of which I was asleep for, 4 of which I wasn't home for. So, needless to say, I haven't worn down the battery yet).
Rechargeable lithium polymer battery.
Size: approx. 1.9" wide x 3.2" tall
Silicon Body (use water based lube) and stainless steel
Waterproof, washable and bath friendly (I've only tested the waterproof claim at this point)
Available in Pink and Slate Grey
Juicy Details:
So far, I've taken the Form 2 out for a ride twice. Initially, the power levels didn't seem to have much differentiation between them when going past the 2nd power level other than noise level. The product is quiet, but you can hear the difference in power levels (and it may attract your cats to pounce on your hand...). My problem with the noise is mine makes a quiet squeal that I'm not sure whether or not it's supposed to happen or not.
The four vibration modes are awesome. When you first turn it on, you've got the basic non-plusating vibrations. This mode is great. Even at the vibe's most powerful setting, it doesn't feel like it's going to burn your clit off with power (don't take that to mean it isn't powerful though). The second vibration mode feels like the vibrations are rolling up and down the ears. I was pleasantly surprised at how great it felt. The third vibration mode is possibly my favorite--it fluctuates between little power to a lot of power very quickly. I'm not sure the proper word for how to describe that mode, other than awesome. The fourth and final vibration mode is a pulsation mode. It is definitely my least favorite. My body wants to love it, but that setting alone didn't do for me what I was hoping.
The Form 2 is not your Hitachi, and that is something I had to remind myself when I first turned it on. I won't lie, my playtime sessions have been a bit of "wam, bam, thank you ma'm" sessions lately. This toy is not for that. You have to give yourself time to enjoy it, as you should be doing anyway. Think of your Hitachi as a quickie, rough lover, and the Form 2 as a more slow, sensual lover; both are great lovers, but the go about getting you to orgasm in very different ways. Give yourself time to enjoy the toy, and expect your first time to be a somewhat awkward experience of learning what you like and don't like.
Other Notes:
I'd be curious to play with a partner using this, both having it used coming at a different angle and during oral play.
At the recommendation of one of the other toy reps in attendance at the show, I tried it out with
Wet Synergy basic + cool tingle. I've never used lube with a clit only toy, but this combo was amazing. The lube has a peppermint feel and smell to it, which adds a cool, sweeping sensation. Wet Synergy is a water and silicone hybrid lubricant, making it safe to use on multiple surfaces. It's also available with a warming sensation, but if you're not a fan of the "Fire" part of
Trojan's Fire and Ice Condoms, you might not enjoy it. Personally, I'm a huge fan of cooling sensations on my lady bits. You can get a free trial of Wet Synergy from their
website.
Pros:
Small, cute, quiet, waterproof, 3 year limited warranty, when you turn it off it remembers which vibe mode it was left set on
Cons:
squealing noise when running, power levels 2-5 don't provide a huge range in power
Cost:
$145 ordered directly from
JimmyJane
Overall:
I love it. I had planned on getting one myself, but having a friend buy it for me was extra awesome. The price is a bit up there if you're not used to buying quality toys, but it comes with a 3 year warranty and apparently JimmyJane is pretty good about switching it out if there's a problem with the toy (a friend of mine got one and didn't like it, so she exchanged it for a different Form toy). I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a sensual toy with no penetration.
