Loving Joy Metropolis - Slim Vibrator

I received the Loving Joy Metropolis to review for sextoys.co.uk.  The Metropolis is a long slender vibrator, which can be used for clitoral stimulation or internal vaginal stimulation, and is ideal if you prefer vibrators with smaller girth.

The item arrived packaged in a clear and reusable plastic container. Backing the toy is a piece of cardboard, with a picture of a city with many skyscrapers. The toy’s packaging plays on the “Sex and the City” TV series, not only by the image and its name, but also with references such as ‘Sex and Fun in the city’, and ‘perfect for the fun and sexy city girl’. As far as I can tell this product isn’t an official sex and the city product, but this doesn’t mean that the product is going to be of lesser quality. The packaging also states that the product is free from phthalates and latex, which I greatly appreciate.  The toy is made from extremely smooth and velvety plastic, which gently glides over your skin, with little resistance. The top has three circular grooves on a conical tip, which reminds me a of Mr Whippy ice-cream. At the base of the toy you will find a push-button control. This is an internal button, and there is just a small power symbol embossed on the casing to indicate where to press. Separating the button and the main shaft is a piece of silvered plastic.

 

To use the toy you will need two AAA batteries. Unscrew the push button base from the main shaft.  This is where I encountered my first problem with the toy, as while unscrewing the base, the silvered plastic and a rubber seal also popped off. These where easily reapplied, but I still would have preferred the silver ring to have been fixed in position. Inside the toy you will find a piece of plastic with instructions on which way to place the batteries in. Do not remove this piece of plastic or your toy may not work. Once you have inserted the batteries, simply screw the toy back together.

To turn the toy on all you need to do is push the centre of the button. There are five vibration settings, and to turn the toy off you will need to scan through them all. This vibrator seems unusual compared to others, as normally most clitoral vibrators will start on a low intensity setting with no pulsations, but this vibrator seems to start with a strong intensity with varied pulsations. The vibration settings are:

First setting starts with five strong pulses with slight pauses between them, and then it continues to a set of rapid strong pulsations before going onto rapid moderate pulsations. The second starts with four strong but slow pulsations, and then goes onto an elongated strong vibration, then a rapid pulsation, before going onto another long vibration. The third is a rapid moderate strength pulsation – this has to be my favourite. The fourth is a constant strong vibration. The fifth and final setting starts with a long, strong vibration, and then goes onto a rapid pulsation of lower intensity vibrations. After scanning through the settings I can see why this would be the perfect toy for a city girl; it’s very noisy and all the settings, apart from the third, sound similar to the constant hubbub you might hear in a city. All the vibrations travel through the whole toy, but are most powerful at the tip.

The tip is great for pin-point stimulation on the clitoris, but is also great for teasing the areola and nipples. The circular grooves around the tip are great for gently rubbing over your body and the clitoris, but the vibrations aren’t as intense as when you directly apply the pointed tip. Inserting the toy can also feel good, as the vibrations are easily felt, though I personally found the shape of the toy did nothing for me when inserted vaginally.

Overall, even though this toy is noisy compared to others I own, the vibrations are nice, and I particularly enjoyed the textured tip. I feel that if you are looking for a strong clitoral vibrator that is a little different to the standard smooth bullets, then this would be ideal.
