I love clitoral vibrators, probably more than any other kind. Even if they don’t get me off quickly, I love the feelings and sensations they create on my clit. So I was happy to see the Calypso 2 was my review product this month as part of the Cal Exotics Sexperts program.
The Calypso 2 (and yes, there is a Calypso 1) is part of Cal Exotics Couture Collection. It comes in a shiny white cardboard box, with pictures of the product on the front and back, as well as other product information.
This is really a pretty toy, light and feminine. The oddly shaped “bullet” is 3 1/2″ long and about 1” wide at its widest point. The shape reminds me of a whale’s head. It’s made of silicone and is a lovely periwinkle color. The surface has a matte finish, with just a bit of drag as you run your finger down it. It also has some rippling on the surface. It’s not a squishy bullet, but rather firm with very little give.
There is a seam that is noticeable – it can be both seen and felt – running around this piece, but it isn’t noticeable during use. The rippling and ridges help the bullet fit nicely to your anatomy and nestle over your clit. The bullet is attached to the control by a 23” cord that is firmly implanted in the silicone.
The controller is made of ABS plastic, with a matte back and a shiny front. It’s cream, with a deeper periwinkle trim on the sides and graceful curling lines on the front. The two control buttons are set inside a tulip outline. The controller is curved on the bottom, making this easy and comfortable to hold.
The bottom button is a dedicated on/off button. The unit has to be turned on with this button before starting the vibrations and patterns with the button on the top. A red light glows behind the buttons, and the small red LED pulses or shines steadily depending on the pattern you are on.
The Calypso 2 features 7 settings:
– Low and steady vibration
– Medium and steady vibration
– High and steady vibration
– Revving pattern from low to high steady vibratons
– Pulses
– Faster pulses
– 3 short pulses followed by 1 long pulse
The vibrations are felt most strongly in the tip of the bullet, but do carry throughout its entire length. They are fairly buzzy but also a bit rumbly, especially on the pattern settings. While they aren’t the strongest vibrations I’ve ever felt, they are pleasurable and make this a good choice to use for a longer session. The Calypso 2 is pretty quiet, even on the highest setting.
The battery compartment is located on the back of the controller, and has a small tab at the base that must be pressed in to slide the compartment off. It can be a bit tricky to get it pressed in the first time, but once you figure it out it’s much easier. The Calypso 2 takes 2 AAA batteries, which are inserted + side down on the left, and + side up on the right. The lid should be pushed back on until it clicks into place. It fits snugly and won’t pop off, which helps make this waterproof, as befitting a toy with this name.
The Calypso 2 is easy to clean – just wash it with antibacterial soap and warm water and pat dry. Since it’s silicone, only water-based lubricants are safe to use.
So, Did It Work? I liked the Calypso 2. The shape of the bullet was unique, and it fit me well during use. It was comfortable to wear inside of a pair of panties and stayed in place pretty well. It also was unobtrusive when using this bullet with my partner, and nestled out of the way without interfering between us.
The vibrations aren’t earth-shaking, but they are moderately strong, and I found this to be a good one for foreplay or longer masturbation settings. As I usually do, I liked the high and steady vibration pattern the best, but I also really liked the 3 short 1 long pattern.
This worked well in the bathtub as well. I didn’t have any trouble with water getting into the battery pack, and while the noise was a bit louder, it was still quite quiet.
Overall, this is a nice, uniquely shaped bullet vibrator, and a good choice if you want something feminine yet with a bit of power.
