"Is it a good toy? Yes. Is it worth $75? Probably not. I review a lot of toys, and I’d say I’ve had some just as good (maybe better) that are about half the price or less. The suction isn’t crazy strong, it feels surprisingly cheap for the price. It works, it does what it needs to do, but I don’t understand the hype."

"Before my review, some relevant details about me: I was dealt an unfortunate hand in my early years: A man who suffers from sociopathy (Antisocial Personality Disorder) sexually abused me across many years of my childhood. I've had a gun held to my head (by the same person). In elementary school, a stranger (male in his 50s or 60s) tried to kidnap me. I come from a family that struggled with drugs & alcohol, so home life was chaotic. And on top of all of this, I have a genetic illness: bipolar disorder, which I was only recently diagnosed with but which I have evidently had since adolescence.

Fortunately, I had two partners when I was 16 and 18 who were very patient, kind, and gentle with me, and who helped me learn that sexuality is not inherently an awful thing. Unfortunately, I continue to struggle with PTSD, and I have a deep-rooted need to remain in control of my body & circumstances. When I use a vibrator or dildo alone, memories often intrude from my childhood and make me deeply upset. I also have an issue wherein anytime I have intercourse (with my husband or using a vibrator), I get a UTI, no matter how many preventative measures I take, so I have to take a medication each time. These are the primary reasons why I looked for a clitoral stimulator as a new toy and bought the poorly named Womanizer Pro40.

This toy has a potentially steep learning curve. It took me an hour and a half of trying it alone, and half an hour with my husband's help, before I figured out the right placement, angle, and setting. And then... OMG. It was an intense experience: one of deep joy & release, and also of extreme fear. There was uncontrollable screaming. There was a rush of fluid that I thought was pee, so I basically flung aside the toy, and bolted from the bed. (It wasn't; it was "squirting," which I always thought was a myth.) In short, I orgasmed the most intensely I've ever experienced. It scared me, and it scared my husband. He couldn't tell if I was happy or upset -- which is probably because I was both. It was the utter loss of control.

I've used it multiple times since. I've discovered that if I use it while sitting upright in the shower, the orgasm is not as intense. Each orgasm is also a different physical experience, which is odd -- as other reviewers have mentioned. Recently, alone, I used it laying down again, and had the same screaming, out-of-control response as the original time. But it wasn't awful. It felt really good.

So, the takeaway: It's an effective product once you figure out how to make it work. I'm really grateful that the company made it. If you have a history of being abused, you might find it frightening the first time, but after that, I think you may actually find it healing & helpful psychologically, as I do. You're likely going to lose control of your body, but you're also in control because you're alone and you're choosing to use the toy, and you know what to expect. If you're really relaxed during this massive orgasm, you may not only squirt but also pee, as another reviewer mentioned. Playing in the shower is best. If you're anything like me, you won't be able to control the screaming or moaning. I have to hold a washcloth over my mouth. Even with that, you're going to be loud, so make sure no one's home/around.

It feels a little awkward divulging so much about myself in this post, but I share it in hopes that it will help others with pasts like mine, because I know I am not alone. As a final side note, check to see whom you're buying it from. I had to look down on the right to select directly from Amazon; it was a slightly higher price, but I felt more safe buying the product directly from them."

"I am into DIY arts and crafts and I suppose that impulse also translates to the realm of sensual fun. Even though I also enjoy partners, I feel it's essential as an independent, empowered woman to own my "O" and know how to please myself. I firmly believe that knowing how to show myself a good time has helped me get out of relationships wherein the physical relations were simply amazing but the emotional aspects were lacking. Life is short so pamper yourself, respect yourself, and the rest takes care of itself.

This makes it so much easier! Will it work for everyone? No, no sex toy will universally work for everyone as everyone's body and preferences are different. It does work for me and while it takes some time getting to know just how it works best, it's well worth the effort, imho.

I also absolutely love using this in the tub with a hot bath because it acts like a very precise water jet that makes me feel like I'm a water sprite under the most wondrous waterfall in a pleasure paradise.

I do hope it's as waterproof as it says and so far so good."
