Before we get into the review, I just want to preface this with how the Dame Arc blew my mind with how simple it is to use. It literally has an on/off button that doubles as a mode select & speed down button. That's it. We also liked that the default settings are just vibrate and the raised button that increases the intensity is easy to find, and lifts the speed through the 5 levels of rumbly vibrations. We also likes that it doesn't have any of those morse code patterns! Who even uses those anyway!? (no judgement if you do, its just not for us. lol)
Onto the toy, it is easy to use and the head is smaller than most g-spot vibrators which she likes as anything bigger can be a bit painful to insert. The Arc is powerful and versatile that has 5 speed settings as well as 5 vibration patterns and as I said already, these 5 patters are actually reasonable and nice. The vibrations are rumbly and surprisingly deep for a toy that is so lightweight, but I I have been noticing this more in toys.
Pros
Soft silicone
Easy to use & clean
Smaller tip than most makes insertion easy
Works on clit too
Waterproof
Cons
Typical magnetic charger coming loose issues
Smaller tip may be a pro for some, but also a con for others
The Arc by Dame is a simple, easy to use g-spot vibrator that also works well for clitoral stimulation. The toy has 5 speeds and 5 vibration variations which are both simple and rumbly. The soft & squishy head is smaller than most g-spot vibrators and the slim shaft makes for a comfortable massaging of your g-spot. The Arc also comes with a 3 year warrantee which is a nice piece of mind.
Design
We love the design of the Dame Arc. It is elegantly designed and has a small, slim shaft with a squishy head. The head is not as large as some other g-spot vibrators which makes it easy to insert and the bulbous head gives a wonderful rumbly massage to the g-spot (or clit). The toy also has two color options - Ice (the one er have) and Plum.
Experience
The Dame Arc works both as a g-spot vibrator and a clit vibrator and it excels in both departments. I know it is advertised primarily as a g-spot vibe, it does work well with other insertable toys (or with sex) as the curve makes it easy to access the clit.
The feeling of the toy against the g-spot is tops and although g-spot stimulation isn't really what we to much of, it worked wonders to get her off. It was easy to insert and the squishy tip made it so a decent amount of pressure could be exerted with out any discomfort.
Quality
The Arc is a well made and is light weight toy that feels good in the hands - and body ;p. The toy also comes with a 3 year warrantee so if something DOES go wrong or break, they have a very decent return period which does boost my confidence in the toys quality and lifespan.
Price
This toy is priced at around $80 on Amazon and $80 - $99 ( depending on what color you choose) on the Dame website so it is not a cheap toy by any means, but it is certainly a quality toy that I would recommend.
Performance
We are impressed with the performance of this toy and I found it easy to use with the simple button configuration and decent vibration patterns. She loves how rumbly the toy is, however, she does think that the rumbliness that is advertised on the website is an exaggeration. It is more rumble than buzz, but we feel that it is not as rumbly as advertised.
Packaging
I do like the packaging, however, the box could easily be half as deep as it currently is. Under the toy, there is a charging cable, manual, sticker and carry bag so you can imagine that there is no real need for the box to be 3 inched thick. It's not a problem, I just found it funny. The box does look good though and packaging is clean and modern.
Materials and care
The toy is made mostly from body-safe, medical grade silicone with the exception of the section where the charger connects which is made from ABS plastic. As to cleaning, you can go wild. The toy is 100% waterproof and smooth as silt which makes cleaning a breeze. Simply was with some mild soap and give it a wipe down. Toy wipes are also a good option for this.

The Fun Factory Manta is a good toy but it does take some getting used to when using it with sex. The toy is not your regular stroker, but is marketed as a vibrating penis stroker with the added benefits of being used to turn your penis into a vibrator for sex as well as a toy that can be used with a BJ. I do have to say that it does blend these things together very well. You cannot compare it to a stroker that covers your shaft from top to bottom. The Manta is more than that and is actually more a couples toy than a toy for solo but it can certainly be used for such. I would 100% recommend it for use with mutual masturbation though and works wonders on the tip.
I enjoy the Manta and it is amazing for edging and is a wonderful addition to any sort of soft BDSM play. This stroker has 6 speeds and 6 vibration variations which are super powerful! When using it during sex, it didn't do much for her and was a bit awkward to position comfortably - that being said, it may just take some practice.
All that being said, the vibrations are a different sensation and they may take some getting used to or just straight up may not work for some.
Before I even start, I need to say that this is without a doubt THE best unboxing experience that I have ever come across with toys. Both my wife and I were blown away with that just for a start. It has little drawers in the box and to heck with a carrying bag...yeah...you get a whole carrying box that doubles as a charger! No dust and dirt is getting into this toy!
The chorus is perfect for hands-free blended orgasms with penetrative sex. This toy works better for gentle lovemaking over going to pound town. Positions that involve grinding and riding work better as it pushes the clit vibrator up against her. As the man part of the deal, I can say that for me it feels good and is powerful. She loves it too and and it brings us closer.
As it is hands free you can insert it under your underwear too and use the remote and/or app (both of which work very well) to get started and once she is warmed up, you can start taking things to the next level. On the topic of the remote (we prefer to use it over the app), the squeeze function is tops and is a genius way to give that extra boost without fiddling with buttons.
Note that this is a partner toy and although you could use it with a dildo, I don't feel that that would be justified considering the price and how there are so many toys on the market that can be used for solo play.
Fun Hint: You can use this for sneaky public play or while watching a movie.
We LOVE this toy!
The blending of the suction with the vibration is spot on, and not only that, it is not a regular vibration, but the textured shaft moves in the iconic 'come hither' motion which presses on just the right spots.
Just a warning for those with a sensitive clit though: this toy sucks HARD. Even on the lowest setting we need to use it gently. Speaking of settings, there are three suction settings: strong, stronger and strongest. The insertable portion has 10 vibration and movement patterns but quite honestly some of them are weird. We wife prefer the straight forward vibration witht he fingering motion.
The combination of the suction and the shaft make for mind blowing orgasms and I'd lie if I said it was a long ride. Let's just say I don't pick this toy if we want to take it slow...
If you are into 'still doing the dishes' foreplay or getting naughty in public then I'd certainly take a look at this toy as it is discreet, slips in easily and is perfectly quiet enough to not be heard. (And don't think 'quiet' means lame and boring. This toy does pack some punch)
The DuoJoy has two independently controlled motors with 10 patterns each. The on/off button cycles through all 10 but the remote allows you to select different patterns for the inserted part and the clit stimulator. I can't say for sure if it is supposed to be like this, but this toy works better as a panty vibrator rather than a bedroom toy.
Once inserted, you can easily put your clothes back on without anything looking out of place and toss your partner the remote to let him have his way while he caresses your neck, while you finish the chores together or, if you're feeling naughty, while you're out on a date to your favorite restaurant.
The vibrations are good but at the same time they are not powerful. They work together gently to a build up of pleasure but don't get me wrong - you can 100% get off on this toy.

It took me five minutes, with instructions in hand, to discover how to ignite the device. Hold for three seconds to turn on, click gently to switch between settings. The lights are subtle, so that’s nice. The power was way more than any of my off-brand Hitachi wands or previous bullet vibrators. It has no bells and whistles. No remote. Not even a handle to relieve some of the intense power from reaching my hands.
My skin felt the vibrations without actually touching the device, so playing with the settings and the physical placement allowed a diverse range of sensations. I feel like this toy has three ideal settings: in a sleeve or other holder (and its intense power would allow this and not have its effectiveness dampened), as a toy to tease or torture a partner, or for discretion, something to sneak to work or toss in a suitcase.
I lament that these types of vibrating toys never have a way to track what setting you are on, and as far as I can tell, this toy does not. You are left to count and listen to the various noise patterns to determine which settings you are and find your favorites.
For solo insertion, this toy seems too small to hold and the completely smooth shape means if you want to dip inside you better have practice with jade eggs and other Kegel-style “exercisers.” The force of the device seems to muddy where the toy impacts sensation more, on the hand or on the target. There is a technique, if you balance the vibrator like a top or a driedel, using only minimal pressure from one finger, that you can enjoy the toy solo without the heavy aftershocks in the hands.
The size of this little guy leads me to explore if I can find new uses for it… So while it may not be practical and for immediate needs, it certainly inspires my creativity. With some stores offering this toy at $18 (Walmart), this toy provides more power and enjoyment than expected, I will probably save it for play at an unexpected unexpected place and time, not in the bedroom.
The Plus One Vibrating Wand is smooth in every sense of the word. Suave, moderately powerful vibrations radiate from its broad, soft head with a flexible neck, giving you total control of where the vibes go and how much pressure they apply. Overall, I was satisfied with this toy - it doesn’t have the strength of other wands, but the cadence of the vibrations rolls instead of pounds, making this wand more sensual than most vibrators. It has 10 settings varying in intensity and pattern, is cordless, and fully waterproof. The silicone surrounding the toy is soft and feels nice in your hand as you maneuver the wand. It's a great first wand or vibrator, but I wouldn’t recommend it to experienced players looking for a new toy. For my taste, it was a little too simple. However, there really isn’t anything to complain about.
The VIVV Massage Wand by Ava is an adorable, humbly sized vibrating wand with a flexible neck for precision pressure and pleasure. The high-quality, soft, silicone ribbed head adds an unexpected dimension to vibrations. However, the diagonal ribbing on the handle makes finding the buttons difficult and can turn an attempt to adjust intensity or vibration pattern into a lost orgasm. Slightly making up for the confusing texture, the Ava VIVV features 20 vibration patterns and 8 intensities. I say ‘slightly’ because at least 10 of the 20 vibration patterns are redundant. Their slight differences offer the nuance needed for precise pleasure, and taking a few extra minutes to cycle through and find the right one isn’t the worst way to spend your time. The only other hitch in this device is that it resumes whatever intensity and pattern you used before when you turn it on. Sometimes, this is great. Other times, it’s nice to reset and start out easy.
This cute vibrator comes with a ton of goodies, a nice box, and a powerful motor. If you want a cute, simple toy, then this is the one for you. I loved using it to vibe in the shower and for quickies! If you want more options or variety, then look elsewhere. If you just wanna get straight to the point, then this is for you!
