“Having a wonderful with with verbena, only I can't help but wonder if it's compatible with everyone's body shape. The suction feature doesn't seem to work for me!”
“What I like:
* Between the stunning colour, the fishtail shape, and the scale-like diamond grip pattern, it looks like something from a mermaid’s bedside drawer! ♀️
* It’s so much better at mimicking oral than my previous toy of this type, which just buzzed so fiercely it felt more like a tattoo machine than a tongue. It’s particularly good that the ‘tongue’ moves up and down rather than just flickering as a motor buzzes: it’s a definite movement rather than just a vibration. Feels more lifelike. And while I prefer the slower patterns, I like the fact that even the faster ones don’t move so fast that you start to think a human could only move their tongue that fast if they were strapped into Old Sparky (not a particularly mood-setting image), which was the problem with the toy I replaced with the Verbena.
* I had the weirdest learning curve with this toy: my first use was along the lines of ‘This is a little odd, and sometimes the suction’s overwhelming in a way I’m not sure I like, but I get the feeling there’s potential here and I just need to work out the knack to it ’ and my second use was ‘Let’s see how I get on this ti… OMG WTF jhffswhnujlbfdbmkollmvdazghgvnnjtnnnghhhhh! ’ Maybe that’s a learning step rather than a learning curve? Anyway, the breakthrough definitely justified a bit of experimentation!
* It’s the only external toy I have that can give me multiple orgasms in quick succession.
What could be better:
* Could there be a way to mimic longer, slower licks, and maybe side-to-side movements as well as up-and-down ones?
* If I were redesigning the settings, I’d have a suction setting that’s even lighter than the lightest one the Verbena has. (I still can’t go higher than the lightest suction setting, but I am very sensitive externally, so if you like strong external stimulation you’ll probably find this a plus.) I’d also make the suction cup shallower (or the tongue longer) so the toy would still be able to reach and work where it needs to with less or no suction, because at least on me it doesn’t seem able to do that. (Or maybe the cup could be detachable?) I am prone to getting a bit overstimulated by this toy, so being able to switch off the suction at times might help prevent that.
* It is a bit fiddlier to clean after use than my other toys, but that is almost inevitable given the more complex shape of its ‘business end’.
Tips:
* The suction can feel quite drying, so use even more lube than you normally would with any other toy, both on yourself and on the Verbena. This also has the advantage of increasing the resemblance to a mouth.
* If the suction feels a bit too intense even on its lowest setting, try holding the toy less firmly against your body (not always easily done in the moment, granted), or for a quick release use a fingertip to break the seal at the edge of the suction cup (be warned: this can make unglamorous noises!).
* I’m not 100% sure what made the difference between my first use and my second, but I think it was holding the toy less tightly against me, and holding it a tiny bit lower than I did the first time. If you feel like you aren’t quite getting there with it, try tweaking positions slightly until you find one that works for you.
* There’s a tiny hole on the handle near the magnetic charging point. It effectively works as a drainage hole, so try not to block it with a fingertip when in use, especially if the Verbena… ah… does to you what it often does to me!”
“I really like my new toy… it’s giving me a wonderful sort of pleasure and means at this point in my life I don’t feel the particular need for a man sexually, I can bring myself pleasure without the hassle! The device is made very cleverly and it feels like a human touch it’s quite wild. I love how earthy and natural and sustainable this company are - I highly recommend.”
“Love this toy! It delivers exactly as it says it's going to and holds its charge well. Comfortable to hold in my hand and I like the various setting combos.”
