Fun Factory Mini Vibes Spring Vibrator

Date: (22 May 2012)

After lusting after this item for a long time, I was ecstatic to find out that I would be testing it for sextoys.co.uk. Already owning a couple of Fun Factory items, I was impressed with their high quality silicone and was excited to see how a Fun Factory rechargeable toy would compare to the other brands of rechargeable toys that I own.

The Fun Factory Minivibe Spring arrives in packaging typical of Fun Factory, though it features a clear plastic panel in the front which shows the product within, nothing about the packaging really screams sex toy. Free of any sexual imagery, it is as fun, colourful and modern as the design of the product itself. The back of the box opens up to reveal two panels of product information presented in several languages. Included within the box is a leaflet with more in depth product information and instructions, again in an extensive list of different languages. Fun Factory even includes a free sachet of their water-based lubricant, ToyFluid, which is latex safe and ideal for use with toys.

Once out of the packaging, I was struck by how soft the silicone feels especially around the tip which has a bit of give to it when squeezed. Being made of silicone, the spring vibe is food-grade material, non-porous, hypo-allergenic and both Latex and Phthalates free. It is completely scent free and feels velvety to the touch.

With its pleasant velvety soft texture and appealing design featuring subtle curves and flowers, I was eager to get trying out the spring. Before use, the rechargeable battery first needs to be completely charged with the Fun Factory magnetic plug. Keep in mind that the magnetic plug for charging 'Click N Charge' toys is sometimes sold separately. Being new to the range I was unaware of this and spent quite a while looking through the box from the Spring vibe wondering how small the plug must be, because I couldn't seem to find it! Some sites do include a plug when you buy a Click N Charge vibrator, but not all do so be sure to check first or like me you will be rushing to buy one separately and then having to wait with this tempting toy in your hands while your charger is being shipped.

Once my Fun Factory Click N Charge plug had arrived and my Spring Vibe had received several hours of charging I was as eager as ever to finally get a moment with the Spring. The push control buttons on this are as simple as can be with one marked with a plus sign which both switches on the toy and increases the speed and one marked with a minus sign which lowers the speed or switches the toy off completely. As far as I can tell the Minivibe has a total of 10 settings, I have read varying reports of how many normal vibration speeds that this vibe has, with some saying it has as little as three and others saying it has eight, in my experience testing it, the first seven times you press the plus button you are brought through increasing speeds of vibration, once you have reached the seventh and highest level of vibration pressing the plus button again and holding it for two seconds each time will bring you through the toys three pulse functions. On the toys first few settings it can barely be heard but with the top settings being so powerful they are a bit on the loud side.

In use the Spring feels fantastic, it may be petite in size but makes up for this with its ergonomic curves, if angled right it can even provide some light G-spot stimulation. One of the best things for me about the Spring is that it is so waterproof, with the charger only attaching to the toy itself magnetically, you can be assured of how waterproof this is. I know that I often don't risk bring some of my favourite toys into the bath, especially rechargeable ones, because I worry about them being less waterproof than advertised but after seeing the design of the Spring in person, I was confident about testing mine in the bath. Being such a petite toy, the Spring also works well on the clit, on its lowest setting, the vibrations can barely be felt but every other speed and function after that, wow! It has its fair share of power for a small toy and the pulsing functions create a nice teasing sensation to keep you on the edge. Orgasm wise this toy rates highly and I can easily see it becoming a firm favourite.

Pros: Great colour options, soft silicone, rechargeable, curvy shape.

Cons: You need to scroll down through speeds in order to switch it off.

In Summary:

After a long time wondering about the Click N Charge range, my curiosity has been satisfied and so have I. With its soft silicone, aesthetically pleasing design and strong vibrations, the Spring is a hit with me.
