Booster Vibrator by Fun Factory

What the heck is that thing?
This vibrator is a third generation version of Fun Factory’s favorite worm, Patchy Paul.  He’s made out of 100% silicone and is waterproof, so take him in the shower with you!

What’s it feel like?
Texturally speaking, this feels like most Fun Factory products–it’s a soft, flexible silicone with a matte finish and ribbing from tip to base.  Structurally it is bendable, as it lacks a rigid spine.  This may be helpful if you’re looking for something that bends, but much like second generation Patchy Paul, its lack of rigidity means that firm G-spot stimulation is difficult.

What are the vibrations like?
The vibrations are pretty strong in the base, but they quickly lose strength the further they travel up the shaft of the vibrator.  At the tip, the vibrations are very weak.  This, combined with the lack of a spine, means that using this for clitoral stimulation does not work very well.

There are several different speeds of straight vibration that can be scrolled through using the up and down push buttons as well as three pulsating patterns.  At any time you can go back to the straight vibrations by pushing the down button.  You can also get a boost of extra oomph by pressing the turbo button and holding it down.  While this is an interesting feature, it is difficult to keep the button held down.

It’s powered by solar energy though, right? Ethan0l?  Telekinesis?
Better take out stock in Duracell, Paul takes a whopping four triple A batteries and will munch right through them if you utilize that booster function too much.

Can I get it in orange?
Unfortunately no, but this one comes in a snazzy granny smith green or translucent hot pink.

I’m ready.  Lube me up, baby!
Be sure to use only water-based lubricants with this toy, as silicone and oil-based lubes will hurt Paul’s feelings (and his finish).  Fun Factory gets you started with a sample of their water-based ToyFluid.  When you’re done, wash with warm water and mild soap, toy cleaner, or a diluted bleach solution.

Moment of truth: the verdict.
I also have owned the second generation Patchy Paul and hoped that this would be a vast improvement on that toy.  This Paul is bigger, brighter, and has push buttons, patterns, and turbo power; still, it’s not a vibrator that sticks out in my mind.  The fact that the vibrations still don’t reach the tip, the base is too floppy to stimulate my G-spot,  and that I can’t use it clitorally very effectively is  a big disappointment.
