Rocks Off LUV Vibrating Massager

Date: (23 April 2012)

The Rocks-Off Luv is a battery powered general body massager with a pointed heart shaped tip. Unlike a lot of massage wands, the shape of the Luv makes it ideal for more accurate pinpoint stimulation, making it perfect for either working out those tight muscular knots or delivering more direct vibrations to the clitoris. The neck of the vibrator is also contoured for easier control, and means you are able to rest the head of the massager over the vulva even during sexual intercourse, without getting in the way too much.


The Luv arrives in a clear outer box that has pink hearts printed over it. The product is marketed as a general body massager rather than a sex toy. At the side of the box you will find a small instructional diagram showing you how to remove the battery cap, and what the power and function buttons on the toy look like. Unlike many of Rocks-Off's products the Luv doesn't arrive with batteries, so you will need to purchase 4 AAA batteries prior to use. After removing the outer box you will find a more solid clear plastic storage box, a bit similar to what Ferrero Rocher come in.


The Luv is 6.5 inches in length, and 2.5 inches in diameter at its widest point. The head of the massager is shaped like a love heart and is coated in a pink silicone. The silicone produces a small amount of friction when rubbed against dry skin; I advise you to use water based lubricant with the toy, or a suitable massage oil. The massager's head is firm, and unlike some massagers doesn't have a flexible neck. The massager's neck and handle are made from a smooth high gloss ABS plastic, which can become slippery easily, making the toy tricky to hold sometimes. Found on the neck of the toy there are two buttons; one On/Off button, and one for mode of vibration. When the Luv is switched on the button interface will glow purple. During use I found that, even though the massager is comfortable to grip, my fingers would hover over the buttons frequently. This meant I would accidentally change function or turn the toy off occasionally. I feel the buttons need to be a little firmer for such a high powered vibrator; also, the Luv might benefit from a textured or silicone handle grip. At the base of the toy you will find a waterproof battery cap. To remove, simply push in a downwards motion on the Rocks-Off logo, while pulling slightly away from the main product.


The Luv has five vibration modes. These are three continuous speeds ranging from moderate to relatively intense, and two pulsation modes. The vibrations offer a deep buzzy sensation which can be felt throughout the silicone heart, and are noticeably stronger at the tapered tip. As expected from such a powerful toy, the vibrations are somewhat noisy. The vibrations are felt within the handle but aren't too off-putting when gripping the toy, apart from if the handle becomes highly lubricated, as this will make your grip slide about freely.


When using the Luv as a clitoral stimulator I am able to comfortably rest the shaft of the toy on my pubic mound, meaning that the bottom of the toy's tip would sit comfortably above my clitoris while the rest of the head sat above my labia. When resting the toy like this, even though the vibrations are strong, the toy didn't cause me to climax. I found I needed to angle the toy more directly onto the clitoris and apply a bit of pressure to produce a clitoral orgasm, while also opting for the strongest continuous vibration setting, rather than any of the other modes. Although the other modes were pleasurable, they couldn't quite bring me to climax.


I found that the Luv's tapered tip worked perfectly as an all over body massager, easily working out those tight niggly aches and pains. The curved neck made reaching and massaging my back effortless, meaning I was able to apply enough pressure when working out any aches and pains, without causing my wrist to tire. I also found the tip of the toy perfect for massaging between my shoulder blades. When needing to massage a bigger area I was able to glide the top of the heart over the required area.

The Luv massager can be used during sexual intercourse. Simple place the tip of the toy onto your clitoris and rest its neck and handle on your lower abdomen. As the toy is waterproof, cleaning is simple. Just wash in warm water with your standard antibacterial wash.

Overall, I like the Luv body massager, and welcome its innovatively designed head as a useful change away from the standard rounded massage head. I feel that the Luv is a great option for those looking for something slightly more powerful than your standard external vibrator, while not being overpowering like some wands. However, I do feel the toy needs to have some form of grip on its handle, to make handling the vibrator easier. The angle and shape of the toy's head open up many possibilities as to how to use the toy, whether using it as a couple or for solo play, in both intimate and non sexual ways.

Luv is a sensual massager, made from body safe ABS thermoplastic material (white) and has a pink silicone, heart shaped head.

As you can see from the photos, the Luv massager comes in a see-through plastic casing, which is ideal to store it in, keeping it dust free and in pristine condition. The plastic casing is hard and not flimsy, making it hard wearing. The packaging is not vulgar in anyway, it's attractive, inviting, simple but yet effective. Removing the massager, from it's box, I got the impression that this product would be easy to use. It fits perfectly in the palm of your hand, the smooth barrelled body of the Luv massager, is inviting and comforting to hold. The heart shaped head, is also smooth, rounded with no sharp edges. The neck of the massager is curved, making it less of a hassle to use, no aching wrists with this little beauty.

On the body of this product, homes 2 buttons, the on (+) and off (-) settings. Turning the massager on, you are introduced to 5 different vibrations. 3 vibration patterns are the same but at different strengths (a general straight forward buzz vibrate) and 2 buzz patterns that have intervals. I, personally found this massager, rather powerful.

At the base of the massager, is a cap. Removing this, you are able to slip out the battery holder. This toy takes 4 AAA batteries. Easy to place in and remove.

Added bonus is that this toy is waterproof, making a massage in the bath, a very welcoming habit, after a hard day's work!

I tested the Luv massager out as an actual massager, to start with. It's easy to use by yourself, on your neck, legs and arms, the curve in the massager's head, makes this easier to handle by one's self. I asked a willing participant to use the massager on my back. We went through all the speeds and we found that you could use the point of the heart shape head, as well as the sides and the flat of the head. This feels amazing, running the point down the sides of your spine, working out all those tense knots. Although my only issue, with using this as a normal massager is that the lowest vibration is strong, I feel it would have worked much better with a lower vibration speed but that is my personal preference.

As a sex toy, this works brilliant on my lady parts. Again, the curve in the Luv's neck, made this so much easier to use than straight toys. The buttons are placed in an accessible place, meaning I don't have to interrupt my personal 'play time', adjusting speeds. I found the tip of the heart was the best point for me. The speeds and strength of the vibrations, made this, my new favourite personal toy! Adding in a water based lube, made for a more pleasurable experience.

When it comes to cleaning, I found a slight downfall. Around the buttons area, I found it hard to clean, due to the tiny indent in the seaming between the silicone button cover and the plastic of the toy. But I found that using a cotton wool ear-bud, worked that niche away for me.

The Luv Massager retails from around £40.00 GBP. As a luxury toy, I found it to be a good pricing, however, I would personally prefer if it sat around the £30.00 mark, making it more attainable, for others to purchase.

To sum my experience up with the Luv massager, I would say that Rocks-off have a little gem on their hands. Not only can it be used as a sex toy but it doubles up as an every day massager, a 2-in-1 product, I can't argue with that! If you love magic-wands, I would say that you would enjoy this toy, too. I would highly recommend the Luv massager, to anyone looking for a new addition to their bedroom.

The Luv is an exceptional luxury toy and beautifully designed with smooth feminine contours.
The main body of the Luv is shiny white smooth ABS plastic with a gorgeous pastel pink silicone sleeve tip which forms the shape of a heart.
The Luv has a perfect sensuous curve angling the head to reach hard to get at places; like your lower back, between your shoulder blades etc.

BATTERIES
To change batteries you gently pull the base off and the whole battery cartridge slides out completely allowing you to easily replace the 4 AAA batteries within a watertight seal.

BUTTONS
It has a simple 1 button to turn on, then move to the function button to click through the different patterns to find the one you want.
But you can turn it off quick if you get disturbed without having to scroll through the sequences to find off.
How many of you have tried to use a vibe discreetly, hear someone coming and have to scroll through the rest of the sequences to find off, which maybe louder eeek!

I had a lovely surprise too as the button panel lights up purple, giving a beautiful glow; this really gives this massager a touch of luxury.

THE VIBRATIONS
This gorgeous massager really has a beating heart, it has 5 vibrations and believe me you wont need anymore. All 5 patterns are deep and rumbly, for those of you like me who love a bit more power in their vibes this is definitely for you.

The 1st three modes are a constant buzz; each press has an extra increment of speed .
These are still deep compared to most vibes I own; 3 is one of my favourites as its the strongest intense speed....just wonderful sigh...!
The 4th is a very fast pulse of approximately 15 pulses escalating into one,
The 5th has 15 deep intense pulses of approximately half a second each. These do not escalate.
Its unusual for a vibe to have a slower pulse at the end, but its the strongest and deepest pulse.

USE
The Luv is very similar to a wand but the head is rigid and shaped, so if you love wands you will love this toy to add to your collection.
Use the heart flat it glides smoothly over your skin and the sensations are incredible; lube will heighten all sensitivity allowing the vibrations to penetrate through your skin and deeply into your muscles.
The fact it is waterproof means you can take this anywhere in the bath or shower for added pleasure and the silicon heart holds the heat beautifully.

The angle of the head cups a woman perfectly with no wrist ache or stretching needed like some vibes.
The heart tip is perfect for pin point stimulation on your clit or slide it further down between your pussy lips to the entrance of your vagina and you have the whole heart against you, I can feel the pulses through my whole pelvis....oh wow!!
We have also tried this successfully between us too, the angle of the head makes this perfect as a couple toy.

The variety of the Luv is amazing we have found 12 ways to use this so far, some of them are; nipples, inner thighs, lower back, shoulders, use the tip of the heart for pinpoint pressure to your clit and also a few centimetres of penetration. Use side on to slide between your pussy lips, place this between your OH thighs and sit on their lap, tease your anus,

CONCLUSIONS
The Luv an exceptional luxury toy and the design is brilliant from the smooth feminine contours, to the angled head perfectly designed to get to all areas and still apply pressure if you wanted to.

This really will suit anyone, even if its only used for muscle relaxation. A first time toy user will enjoy the increasing speeds and the pinpoint pressure tip; an advanced toy user will love the extra power and the intense rumbly vibes.
The whole experience of owning a Luv is special from the solid feminine box to keep it in, to the luxurious expensive feel, to the power of the patterns; to the ultimate pleasure it gives.

This is a gorgeous luxurious gift for any girl and a perfect valentines pressie or just to say you Love someone. This is a must for any toy collection!
