Marital Aid Test Kitchen: Fun Factory’s Yooo Vibrator

One of the cutest little creatures to inhabit my bedroom, the Yooo boasts two separate motors and a "turbo boost" button in addition to its rechargeable magnetic battery and waterproof body.

First things first, this vibrator does require a full charge before initial use; here it requires just 3 hours. I've been bowled over by the innovative approaches to charging docks before, and though I appreciate the thought behind this magnetic cord, in reality it required a bit of effort to properly deploy. The "Fun" logos on the magnetic cord-end and the toy must be aligned atop each other, perfectly, it seems, otherwise the toy will not charge. The magnet was too weak to lock in place and so I sort of had to wedge the Yooo in a corner and position the cord just so, then not disturb it to get my charge — it doesn't have the pull of a Macbook charger, for example. However, once you have a system set up it's fine, and is worth the mild trouble to not have to deal with batteries. Also the charger can be used for a variety of Fun Factory toys.

Anyway — on to the action. Each adorable nub of this toy is powered by its own rumbly motor. There's one button to scroll through eight different modes (some of which have the motors on different settings simultaneously), and + and - buttons to increase/decrease intensity. One orb is larger than the other, which leaves room for experimentation. One can be pressed high on the clit while the other stimulates the labia or can be inserted, or you can move the whole thing down in pursuit of anal stimulation. For me, I really don't get a whole lot out of labial contact or minimal insertion. But the motors here are quite strong, and against the clitoris, quite effective. I've read reports where lying on one's stomach with the toy beneath and rocking back and forth is quite pleasurable, as well as for men rubbing the penis between Yooo's two orbs.

This said, I wouldn't recommend the Yooo if you're a first-timer or just a gal looking for a straightforward clitoral vibrator. I think part of the draw of this toy is the question: well, for what exactly are these nubs designed? There's no right or wrong answer. Experimenting to find what feels good for you or you and a partner would make for endless possibilities and, hopefully, pleasures. If you're ready to step from the land of standard vibes to the next level of sextoydom, the Yooo is a promising candidate.
