\"A<\/p>\n

The first thing I thought of when I saw this little vibe was Alice in Wonderland (specifically, the 1951 animated movie.) Remember the scene where Alice is bullied by a number of swaying, sentient plants?<\/p>\n

This Mushroom Massager from Cloud 9 Novelties<\/a> won\u2019t serenely\/menacingly serenade you, but it does have 9 vibration settings. It comes in purple<\/a> (as pictured) or teal<\/a>, and it\u2019s cute as a button.<\/p>\n

Sent to me by SheVibe, the Mushroom Massager is rechargeable, waterproof, and a mere 1.5 inches tall. It\u2019s small enough to slip between two bodies during partnered sex, and abstract enough to sit on a bedside table without anyone knowing its intended use. At under $40, it\u2019s an inexpensive treat \u2013 but is it as fun(gi) as it looks?<\/p>\n

And is it any good as a clitoral vibrator, or should it stick to its namesake: massage?<\/p>\n

The Mushroom Massager<\/a>\u2019s domed head is 2.4 inches wide, and sits on a short stem with a raised button on its base. While the Mushroom will stand on its own, it\u2019s at a slight tilt because of the button. (Which is a shame! A flat button with indented markings would have been just as easy to find with your fingertips.)<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

As I noted in my SheVibe unboxing video<\/a>, the addition of ridges on the underside of the head was a nice touch and makes this vibrator all the more mushroomy. There\u2019s a thin seam running through the middle of the Mushroom Massager, but it\u2019s imperceptible against skin.<\/p>\n

When the toy is on, the button glows blue. It\u2019s pretty dull, so no annoying eye-searing in the dark! The light gets brighter on higher settings, and blinks or pulses along with patterns.<\/p>\n

To charge the Mushroom Massager<\/a>, you stick the charger through the nearly invisible hole on the back of the stem; it can be plugged in via USB or with an adapter (not included) like most phones have.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

the strength and settings of the cloud 9 mushroom massager<\/em><\/h4>\n

Of the Mushroom Massager\u2019s 9 settings, 3 are steady speeds. Their power is in range of the Iroha Zen<\/a>, which is to say that this toy is very<\/em> gentle. The highest of its steady settings can\u2019t match the comparably priced Noje Fauna Mini Wand<\/a>\u2019s lowest setting. And while the mushroom\u2019s vibrations have some decent strength and rumble to them when I use it to massage my neck and shoulders, they\u2019re wispy and ineffective on my junk. Perhaps because the vibrations have nearer bones to reverberate against, as opposed just fluttering uselessly against my ample soft and squishies? Who knows, I didn\u2019t go to college!<\/p>\n

\"An<\/p>\n

(Also, it important to keep the charge topped off. As the battery wanes, the mushroom\u2019s vibrations become further muffled by the toy\u2019s own silicone-wrapped body.)<\/p>\n

The patterns are\u2026 patterns. There are rapid blips, little ramp ups, and a couple of somewhat unique combinations. I\u2019m warming up to patterns, but only on toys with strong vibrations that can make them worthwhile teases to endure; the Mushroom Massager<\/a> is waaay too gentle, at least for me.<\/p>\n

I appreciate Cloud 9 Novelties\u2019 self-control on the number of settings. So many companies (*cough* FemmeFunn *cough*<\/a>) turn single button toys into a massive hassle by including a ridiculous number of settings and forcing you to click through them one by one. The Mushroom Massager\u2019s modest 10 provide variety without holding you hostage.<\/p>\n

my experience with the cloud 9 mushroom massager<\/em><\/h4>\n

There are two reasons this mushroom isn\u2019t for me: its vibrations lack the power, depth, and thumpiness I need, and its cap is simultaneously too big to fit between my fat labia for direct clitoral contact, and<\/em> too small to cover my cooch like a wand. This in-between sizing isn\u2019t a deal breaker in general, but because the vibrations are weak, its shape becomes frustrating.<\/p>\n

If you want slightly more precise but not quite pinpoint stimulation, you can tilt the mushroom over and use the head\u2019s rim against your body instead. The vibration can feel a bit stronger this way, but it\u2019s a little awkward to hold.<\/p>\n

My favorite use of the Cloud 9 Mushroom Massager<\/a> is tucking its stem between two fingers and passively holding it against my body. My wrist and fingers ache a lot, and this pain gets exacerbated by holding most of my vibrators like pencils. The Mushroom Massager can be held like a pencil too, buuut it\u2019s easier to keep my hand flat. (I have to extend my reach more because, y\u2019know, voluptuous body, but alas!) This is also the ideal way to use it for massage, and its shape is really well suited to rubbing your own neck and shoulders.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

maybe you\u2019ll like it, but for me there\u2019s mushroom for improvement<\/em><\/h4>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

Despite its wispy vibrations (at least on my junk), I think the Mushroom Massager<\/a>\u2019s price tag is fair given that it\u2019s rechargeable, waterproof, and made of body-safe silicone. Its unique and decoratively discreet shape is just as charming in person as it is in stock photos. It makes an ideal purchase for folks with nosy parents, roommates, or kids. After all, it\u2019s basically just a massager. And it even comes with a storage bag!<\/p>\n

Other folks might have a pretty different reaction to this funky forest floor dweller. It\u2019s compact but not pinpoint, and it\u2019s camped firmly in the \u2018frantic butterfly wings\u2019 end of the vibration spectrum. I\u2019ve seen more than one person on Reddit with hyper sensitive vulvas for whom vibrations need to be tempered down to a rippling tickle. As long as you don\u2019t mind the fact that the vibrations travel through the stem and into your fingers, this might be love at first shroom.<\/p>\n

But that\u2019s a very small slice of customers, who wouldn\u2019t be negatively impacted if the Cloud 9 Mushroom Massager<\/a> had a stronger motor capable of distributing a few additional power settings with more muscle to them. Beyond this very specific subset of people, the Mushroom Massager\u2019s only real appeal is being a decent massager.<\/p>\n
