Mary Mermaid Vibrator Review
Posted on December 11th, 2007 in Bedroom Bling, I Touch Myself, Reviews, Sex Toy Care
Having long ago (well, it sort of feels like long ago) tried out the traditional rabbit vibe, I’ve been curious ever since about all of the ‘knock off’ or similarly styled vibes on the market. Finally I’ve gotten around to testing one, courtesy of Spicy Gear. Since I am totally in love with Fun Factory, I chose one of their nifty dual action vibes, called Mary Mermaid. More diminutive in size (at least width wide) than most rabbit vibes, I was curious to give it a go.
All Fun Factory toys are made out of very high grade silicone. This makes cleaning easy, which I appreciate. Mary Mermaid is not water resistance, so I recommend cleaning her with an antibacterial WetOne or else very carefully under running water with some gentle antibacterial soap. I really prefer to use wipes on items that are not waterproof, especially when you’ve invested a fair amount of money in said item.
Another important point worth mentioning is the durability of the motor(s) in dual action vibrators. It’s generally recommended that to prolong the life of your toy and avoid burning out the motor, you should not run ANY dual action toy for longer than 20-25 minutes straight. Regular vibrators are generally limited at 30-35 minutes. This is one of the top complaints about dual action vibrators, because the more moving parts you have, the faster and easier it is to work the thing to death! If you need to go longer than that, get yourself a Magic Wand, with an attachment, which was designed for periods of longer use.
I really, really liked this vibrator. The only thing that sort of annoyed me about it are the dial type controls for both functions, since they are a bit sensitive and you can accidentally change the intensity by bumping them in the heat of it all. Also, it lacks variety when it comes to the movement of the head of the thing. It basically just goes round and round, while the rabbit had several different options in that department. Still, being me, and not particularly concerned about internal stimulation, I didn’t find that a drawback at all.
It totally delivers in the orgasm department. The ‘tail’ portion that rests against the clit is totally pleasant. Yum! The reduced girth also made it more comfortable for use, which I enjoyed. It’s not a super quiet toy, but then again, most dual action toys aren’t. You just can’t put two motors in such a small package and not expect it to make any noise. It wasn’t terrible though, certainly wouldn’t deter me from using it.

Hey, love the reviews you have, they’re very informative =)
So, which one do you like better? The rabbit or the mermaid? At the sex show my friend was torn between the two and decided on the rabbit for ‘more power’

Padme,
Thanks for the compliments on my reviews
I’m glad people enjoy reading them as much as I enjoy writing them!
KittyCatz,
Thanks
I’m so glad you like them. As for which one I like better…hmmm, tough question. I think that the rabbit is a good choice for ‘more power’. The Mermaid is less girthy, smaller, and perhaps less intimidating for some people. I would say that it depends on your needs. There is also a bit of a price difference that might influence some. Good question though, would you mind if I use it for ‘Dear Shasta’ in the future?
XOXO
Shasta
