Rocks Off Roval Vibrating Gold Pendant

Date: (08 March 2012)

OMG I received this today and already love it. Such a sleek design, tiny and powerful for its size, Im impressed.
Although it is a little loud on its highest setting, it is possible to reduce the power using the wheel to a lower setting which in turn makes it quieter.
Not only is it a great design and idea, but its beautifully presented in a nice sturdy box which I will be keeping to store it in when not being worn or used.
size: perfect and impressive
noise: could stand to be quieter
cost: amazing bargain
Overall, a great vibe.

I'm so excited I got this for Christmas... I adore it!

It looks gorgeous inside the presentation box - the perfect gift - and is genuinely a beautiful item to wear.

I've received loads of compliments and questions from friends and strangers alike. The smooth gold pendant design vibe sits well just below the collar bone and even my naughtier friends have thought it's a perfume holder so it's discretion in its most obvious form, which I love.

And it's powerful!

There's a simple wheel on the back of the bullet that controls the intensity. For a small vibe, it's incredibly strong making for a sharp, fierce orgasm (you know the one!) if the bottom point is simply left hovering lightly on the clit.

For a slower build up applying pressure or alternating pressure / release is fantastic.

Due to it being a bullet it's also perfect size and shape for exploring your labia. Laying it flat or using the tip to circle your hotspots and applying different amounts of pressure gives a range of sensations and this is where the powerful vibrations of the Ro-Val are perfect, though you are able to adjust the settings - if you so wish...

I find laying a bullet flat decreases the intensity so often bullets are clit play only. This one covers a few more bases.

And of course because it's on a leather necklace it's perfectly portable. The battery life has not so far let me down and it just looks damned good!

What a cute idea!
Rocks Off have released their mini bullet vibe that can be worn as a necklace, or you can use the attached cord to hang it conveniently from a bedpost, wardrobe handle or any hook you wish.
With a golden glistening effect this would also make the perfect present for a lady that takes her sex toys seriously and loves dinky creations that are BIG on power!
Presented in a stylish black window panel front box with the Rocks Off logo and detailing, this oval shaped bullet vibe is a true gem.
Simply unscrew to insert the two LR44 size batteries, twist back together tightly then scroll with the mini-wheel to get the speed you want.
Match with some waterbased lube (try Slide Lubricant, it's only £1.95 a bottle) and you can really feel the power of the RO-Val on your clitoris, but it also feels delicious used on nipples or wherever you wish.
It's cute, it's powerful and it's by renowned sex toy makers Rocks Off.
What's more, it's only £14.95! (with free UK discreet delivery)
This is a brilliant idea and every woman should have (at least) one.

When I first heard about the Rocks-Off RO-Val, I was thinking how great it would be, as it's a bullet in the style of a pendant. I don't always have a handbag, and a lot of clothing lacks pockets, so being able to sling a vibrator round my neck and go out into the world with my head held high, knowing that I had a pleasure object easily accessible, sounded great. Sadly, for me the RO-Val wasn't as good as I had expected.

The RO-Val arrives in a black box with a clear window similar to most of the Rocks-Off packaging. The box also has a slight resemblance to a small jewellery gift box. The bullet is a resting on a velvet coated plastic insert. The pendant's string is tucked behind the insert, making the toy a little tricky to remove. The first thing I noticed about the RO-Val was the string. The string will fit anyone with a neck thinner than 17 inches in circumference. It is made from very scratchy material, and to me just looks rather cheap. There is an adjustable chain and clasp on the string, but I feel this would break very easily. This really is only a minor problem, as you can remove the string and replace it with something of better quality. The pendant itself is made from a gold coloured plastic, which doesn't look like metal, but also doesn't appear as if it's cheap kids dress-up jewellery. I was worried that the gold would be too cheap looking, but I feel it's ok and seems to work well with most clothing. On the front of the toy you can see the Rocks-Off logo, which resembles a small heart motif.

Before turning the toy on you will need to unscrew it to remove a piece of paper blocking the connectors and batteries. When turning the toy on for the first time I thought mine was actually broken. To turn the toy on there is a plastic dial embedded into the back of the bullet. I found that this was very difficult to turn, and I needed to use my fingernails to get it moving. Once I finally managed to turn it on I found it hard to adjust the vibration settings, and found that it was easiest to turn it up to its full power. I noticed instantly that the bullet is quite noisy considering that it's intended to be worn out and about. I doubt you could get away with using this toy in the workplace bathroom without people hearing it. The vibrations do feel quite strong for the size of the product, but to me it's not as powerful as other Rocks-Off products.

When wearing the toy out and about, no one seemed to suspect that the pendant was actually a sex toy. I even had once person comment on how nice it looked. I have however found that the bullet's surface scratches easily, meaning that eventually it will look too tatty to wear.

I pulled the string back, the toy normally would hang lower.

When using the toy I found that a small amount of extra lubricant was needed. I found one major problem though; at the tip of the toy there is a small moldline bump, which I found scratched my clitoris, making it very uncomfortable to use. I've tried a few lubricants of different consistency, but have always found it too uncomfortable to use. I also found that the vibrations were even harder to adjust while using the product - I would've preferred a push button control or similar. I think if I didn't experience issues with the sharp tip and difficult controls, then this bullet would've worked well for clitoral stimulation, as the vibrations are ok.

I encountered another problem with the bullet, and that's that it eats batteries, even when turned off. As it takes two LR44 batteries they can be expensive and difficult to replace. I understand that some bullets should be stored without the batteries, but I feel that with the RO-Val this is a big problem. As you would be wearing the bullet round your neck, you may not have anywhere to store the batteries while out and about. I'm also constantly falling asleep with jewellery on too, meaning that the batteries could end up running out over night while I'm sleeping.

Cleaning the toy can also be a bit difficult as it's not even splash proof. You have to be careful not to get water into the dial area. It's best to use an antibacterial wipe to clean the bullet, and if needed wash the string necklace in warm soapy water separately. Its lack of water-proofness also means you can't wear it out and about while it is raining.

I did want to like the RO-Val. When purchasing this toy I was a little sceptical about the colour, because I tend to find yellow gold colours are too harsh against my skin, but I still thought it would be a good investment due to the convenience of being able to keep it with me at all times. Sadly the tip is too rough to enjoy the vibrations, the controls are frustrating, the vibrations are too loud to use in public, and not being splashproof is a huge oversight for a wearable vibrator. I guess if you don't have sensitive skin, have the time and fingernails to operate the controls, and you're not overly worried about the noise level, then this vibrator might work well for you - just don't go out in the rain.

This is such fun. The Rocks Off Roval is a tiny little bullet vibe that hangs on a leather thong so you can wear it as a necklace. It's definitely pretty enough to wear as jewellery - although you can tell it's plastic it doesn't look cheap and nasty, it just looks like a fun costume piece, not obviously a sex toy at all. The Rocks Off logo even looks like a stylised heart.

If you don't want to wear it, the leather thong can be used to hang it somewhere so it's always handy when you want to play. You can also use it to hold the Roval if you find it hard to keep hold of the bullet itself once it's vibrating, or to tie the Roval in place exactly where you want it so your hands are free to explore elsewhere.

This little treasure really packs a punch. It might be small (only a couple of inches), but it is incredibly powerful and wow does it deliver. Every toy box should have one, and possibly every handbag too!

The Roval is a lot more versatile than you'd think. The chrome finish is sleek enough that you can use it with or without lube and the variable speed dial is as simple as it gets. You can use the tip for pin point accuracy, or the side for a slightly gentler ride, either way it's fabulous.

In fact, it might even be too intense for some, but don't worry, if 30 second orgasms aren't what you are looking for this is still worth having. Like it's bigger brothers you can have hours of fun using this for referred sensation, it's strong enough to use through layers of clothes, even leather or thick denim. Applied to the ropes of a japanese bondage harness it adds a delicious edge to the situation, you can apply it to the base of a glass dildo or butt plug, touch it against a piercing or clamp or a bead g-string.

The only down side is that you'll never want to stop using it, and most of us don't have a ready suply of lr44 batteries about the house so make sure you stock up when you buy - you won't regret it.
