Sex Toy Review: Opus

I am not the biggest fan of the majority vibrators. It’s just true.  I am a tried and true Hitachi fan…and I love the Lelo vibes…but other wise, I’ve been pretty unimpressed.  Also, I hate pink. With a vengence.

Ergo, the Opus was not the right toy to send me.

It’s made out of TPR silicone, which means that while it *is* phthalate free, it is NOT sterilizable (which means you need to use condoms with it if you want to share it with partners), and it still smells like death. Granted, I left it out on my kitchen counter for a little more than a month, and most of the smell dissipated.  However, I really don’t think anything you put inside you should smell bad, at all, at any point.

Putting the batteries in was a bit of a challenge, but I did figure it out eventually. I’ve really gotten spoiled using toys that plug in or are rechargeable, but I guess I have to go back to the battery style toys at some point.

I did like that the bullet was in the tip, as compared to the base — it made it good for both clitoral stimulation and for vaginal/g-spot stimulation.  It had a fair amount of vibration, especially for taking AA batteries, but honestly, it was nothing super special.

I had some issues with trying to fuck myself with the Opus, as I kept accidentally hitting the button on the bottom of it that made it go through the three vibration levels…turning it off at some, well, untimely times.

Honestly, I was pretty unimpressed by this vibe. Yes, it’s phthalate free, and that’s certainly better than a  vibe with phthlates in it…but it still smells bed, you still can’t sterilize it, and it’s pink.  And turns off when it shouldn’t. 1.5 stars out of 5.

VibeReview has lots of toys which are way nicer, prettier, more environmentally friendly, and smell less. Check them out.

    Thanks for the honest review. I’ve been wondering if the Evolved line wasn’t hyped up a little too much because of their pretty boxes.

    I hate smelly toys that are phthalate free. Who are they fooling? If it smells, it’s got SOME kinda nasty chemicals. Just stoppit, toy companies!!

    The boxes are cute, and I find the boxes more entertaining than any of the vibes in any of their shapes. The shapes just don’t seem that intuitive.
