Get Your Vibe On!

I first discovered OhMiBod several months ago, when I got a chance to review the NaughtiBod. Being able to have my vibrator dance to my iPod? And have a separate base to use it as a regular vibe? Fantastic! So I was thrilled when Good Vibrations sent me the OhMiBod Club Vibe to review.

The Club Vibe comes in a black box with product information on the back. Inside the box you’ll find an instruction manual in several languages, a bullet vibrator and controller, a splitter for attaching an ipod (with a 53” cord), 2 AAA batteries, a black thong (one size fits most), and a velvet pouch to store it all in.

The bullet is pink and quite small. It’s just 1 3/4″ long and 3/4″ wide. The bullet has a matte finish and is velvety smooth to the touch. It has a seam that runs around its middle, but that doesn’t detract from it’s use. The bullet is attached to a 30” cord with a jack at the end which plugs into the top of the controller.

The controller is 3” long by 1 1/2″ wide and just 1” thick. It has a belt clip so you can clip it right onto your waistband. It’s a matte black, with the OMB logo on the front, as well as a small microphone, which it uses to pick up the ambient noise. The front also has 2 large buttons, shaped like an X and an O. The X is on top and shuts the bullet off. The O on the bottom turns the bullet on, as well as cycles through the vibration settings in manual mode.

The belt clip and part of the back slide off to reveal the battery compartment, which holds 2 AAA batteries, with direction clearly labeled. On the side is the switch for the mode you want to use. Top is ambient mode, middle is manual mode, and bottom is ipod or mp3 player mode. The very bottom has a jack port to plug in the splitter for the ipod and headphones.

The bullet can be cleaned with mild soap and warm water and dried. For the controller, simply wipe with a damp cloth if necessary, and make sure not to get water near the battery compartment or the jack holes. Never submerge it, and remove the batteries when not in use.

The underwear (more of a thong style than g-string) are black with a 2” lace hipband. They are one size fits most (yes, we all know what that means). Unstretched, they are 28” around, and stretch to about 42”, but at that width they look like the fit would be a bit awkward. The inner front crotch panel has a pocket where the bullet slips in. The pocket is fairly long, so you can adjust the bullet to hit you where you need it. The underwear don’t have a tag, but they feel like cotton, and went fine through the washer on the handwash cycle and the dryer on low.

All of this fits in the provided pouch. The pouch is just 5” by 4” and has a drawstring. It is embroidered with OhMiBod on the front, and makes a small and compact carrying pouch for this toy.

So, how does this work? You put the bullet in the panties, jack it into the remote on your waist, and select your mode. Ambient mode picks up the surrounding sound through the microphone, which translates it into vibrations from the bullet. It’s not as sensitive as I thought it would be, and unless my husband talked at my waist it didn’t cause it to vibrate. Noises around me did, as long as they were loud enough – the TV did on occasion. It worked great, however, with the stereo on and some music with a heavy beat. It would work as well at a club or wherever loud music was played.

Manual mode was fun too, but this would have been better with a wireless controller. Really, what’s funner than turning over the remote to your partner and letting him pick the settings?

The manual mode features 7 settings:
– low and steady
– medium and steady
– high and steady
– pulses
– long pulses (super low, low, med high)
– low to medium with 2 pulses, medium to high with 2 pulses
– roller coaster with 2 high pulses at the top and buttom

To use this with an ipod, simply plug the splitter into the bottom, plug your ipod and headphones in, and let your playlist set the beat.

While the bullet doesn’t have overly strong vibrations, I wouldn’t want it to if I’m wearing this in public for an extended period of time.

Overall, I thought this was a lot of fun. The only trouble I had was really getting the bullet in the right place inside the panties. It stayed where I wanted it to better when I wore pants versus a skirt.
