If you’ve ever read any of my reviews, you’ll find that while I use thinner toys on occasion I much prefer ones that have a bit of girth. I also typically prefer silicone or other non-porous materials, mostly because of the horrid smell that so many of the rubber ones have. So I was intrigued, but a bit leery, when I received the Sassy Swirl Squiggle to review as part of the Cal Exotics Sexpert program.
The Sassy Swirl Squiggle, which from here on in I’ll just call the Squiggle, comes in an easy to open clamshell case with an insert providing some product details. It looks pretty impressive in the package, and you can tell it’s got a good size.
The Squiggle is made of phthalates-free PVC (with an ABS cap). Normally with PVC toys the smell assaults my nose even before I open the package, but with the Squiggle it’s different. It does have a smell, but it’s very faint. I could smell the slight rubber scent when I put it up under my nose, but a foot or more away and I couldn’t smell it at all. This made me pretty happy! After a few washes and dries the scent remained, but I found it to be light enough to not be bothersome in the least.
The Squiggle is a pretty, translucent purple in color. It’s soft and a bit squishy on the surface but with a firm inner core. It has pretty swirls that run down the body. Through the PVC you can see the white vertebrae of the core through the center of the shaft. These vertebrae are flexible and allow you to bend the shaft at an angle for optimal stimulation. It doesn’t have an extreme bend – I’d say around 45 degrees or so, but it’s enough of a bend to get the head at just the angle you like.
This is a nice sized vibrator. It’s 8 1/2″ long, with 6 1/2” insertable. Its 1 3/4″ diameter is a pleasant, filling size. The head has a slight curve for g-spot stimulation, and it’s firm enough to me the pressure I need to climax. It’s also waterproof, so it’s safe to take into the shower or bath (although it’s much easier to use in the tub).
The Squiggle takes 3 AAA batteries, which are inserted by twisting off the unusually shaped cap. A battery holder slides out, and the batteries are both easy to insert and remove. You have to be careful how you put this holder back in to the vibrator, however. There are 3 arrows on the holder, which indicate which end must go in first. In addition, the metal on the end must come into contact with the metal that runs inside the compartment. If it doesn’t, the Squiggle won’t turn on. Once you have these correct, you’re ready to play.
The bottom of the cap has an elongated button with two touch points. The one point is indicated by a raised nub: this turns the toy on and also cycles through the functions. Pressing the other end of this button, where it is smooth and flat, will turn the Squiggle off. The bottom around and under the button glows with an orange LED light in tempo to the pattern you have the Squiggle on.
Is it tricky to get the right button pressed during use? At first yes, but after you’ve tried this a few times you’ll be able to easily finger the nubbed button for pattern changes. If your finger is pretty slick with lube, however, it’ll be a bit trickier.
One of the coolest things about the Squiggle is that it has a memory chip (which I’ve only seen on a few toys, but I love, love, love it!), so it turns back on at the last setting you had. This is a great feature, and allows you to keep the Squiggle on your preferred setting every time.
The Squiggle has 10 patterns, which are:
– super fast pulses followed by a longer fast pulse
– fast pulses
– stronger fast pulses
– very fast pulses
– lower pulses
– longer pulses
– low fast pulses
– steady high
– steady med
– steady low
The vibrations are concentrated in the tip of the Squiggle, but they can be felt about halfway down the shaft. They are fairly throbby and strong, and also pretty quiet. The Squiggle won’t be heard under the covers or behind a closed door.
The Squiggle is easy to clean both before and after use with warm water and antibacterial soap. It can be patted dry and stored away in either it’s packaging or a simple storage bag. Since it’s PVC, both water-based and silicone lubricants are safe to use.
So, Did It Work? I really like this vibrator. The size and texture are great, and I love the overall design. I was originally skeptical of it being made of PVC, but it’s both phthalates free and virtually odorless which are big pluses to me. I also love the flexible neck. It allows me to bend this and get the head and tip angled just right for the g-spot orgasms I’m cumming to love more and more.
The vibrations are pretty strong and throbby, and they can be felt nicely inside. They really feel good in the tip, and are strong enough to allow me to orgasm. I love, love love (can I say that enough times?) the memory feature. I tend to be a mostly one or two pattern girl, and I hate having toys with a lot of functions where I have to cycle forever to get to the one I want. With the Squiggle, I don’t have to do this – I can just turn it off when I’m done and turn it on next time right at the pattern I want.
One thing I would have liked is a way to cycle back and forth through the patterns. Especially with 10 of them, that’s a lot to go through to get back to the one you want if you’re playing around and trying other patterns.
Overall, the Sassy Swirl Squiggle (try saying that 10 times fast) is a good vibrator. It has the size, the length, the bending, the strength, the patterns, and the memory feature to make picking this one up a good choice. It’s one that I’m glad to add to my collection!
