I was already buzzing on my way home from the post office. I stopped at the butchers, the shoe repair, and at the corner shop for milk, and was amazed that my neighborhood vendors did not notice a gleam in my eye, a spring in my step, a bulge in my bag. I felt like a kid on Christmas—a post-puberty grown-up kid on Christmas—as I abandoned the groceries at the top of the stairs and rushed into the bedroom for a quick meet and greet with my new toy Liv. Liv is my virtually silent vibrator friend, pre-programmed with five pleasure modes to deliver varying intensities of vibration and sensation with (giggle, giggle) spot-on precision. Liv also needs to charge for two hours before first use so (no giggle, no giggle) we didn’t quite bond immediately. In fact, we didn’t bond until a few days later, because I hold a grudge.
My first thought upon testing out Liv’s five preprogrammed stimulation modes was “this extended interval pulsation mode would work wonders for that kink in my neck.” That’s when I knew that I needed Liv even more than I had realized. I decided there and then to spend quality time with Liv every single day for a week, regardless of other demands being placed upon my nether regions. I kept my promise (this was much more pleasant than other resolutions I’ve made), and now I am an expert in continuous vibration, extended interval pulsation, intermediate interval pulsation, short interval pulsation, and wave pulsation…and those kinks in my neck seem to have worked themselves out too.
Liv arrived in an elegant gift box from VibeReview.com, accessorized with a charger, manual, a one-year warranty and an elegant satin pouch. I didn’t read the manual, preferring a point and go-forth approach, and that worked out just fine. Okay, better than fine. Worrying that I might be missing out on some whiz-bang trick, I just read the manual and I did learn two things that I might not have guessed: 1. Liv’s dial can be locked so that she will only speak when spoken to. 2. A red light does not mean I am H-O-T hot; a LED glow indicates the battery is low. I’m new to the adult toy market (I know, I know “where have you been all your life?”), and so I can’t really compare Liv to other buzzworthy toys out there. I can say that Liv is a very good “first.” She’s elegant, discreet, low maintenance, and friendly in shape and smooth silicone coating, and—unlike my human first—Liv is user-friendly, so there was no fiddling around with the keypad! In fact, I think she'd make for a tasteful—not tacky—gift for a friend who needs to work out a few kinks. Everyone should have a friend like Liv!
