Last year at Woodhull\u2019s Sexual Freedom Summit<\/a>, Screaming O recorded and released<\/a> a video of convention attendees at a panel without their consent. They also falsely claimed they had sponsored the panel<\/a>, which was full of untrue bullshit about body safe toys<\/a>. Their behavior following the (justified) uproar was also<\/em> shitty<\/a>. They\u2019re not a company to support, and I wish I\u2019d heard of their garbage behavior before I purchased one of their toys.<\/p>\n

I have seriously neglected my googling, y\u2019all.<\/p>\n

That being said, I\u2019m not in a position to always be ethical in my consumerism; sometimes, I\u2019m just going to have to go with a cheaper (body safe) toy from a shitty company. I\u2019m not going to defend making that choice. But I will try, when I\u2019m aware of a company\u2019s garbage, to be honest about it, and link to sources condemning the behavior so you can make an educated decision based on both your morals and your budget.<\/p>\n

So, the Vooom Rechargeable<\/a>. A chubby little plastic bullet with a single button and ten settings (only three are steady, the rest are patterns) that is waterproof and, as the name suggests, rechargeable. It claims to be \u201cpowered by deep, rumbling Vooom technology\u201d and it\u2019s phrases like \u201cvooom technology\u201d that make me happy I got into reviewing sex toys. I wish I could buy a car with Vroom-Vroom<\/em> tech, or a gaming computer that runs on Whrrr-Whrrr-Whrrr<\/em>. I\u2019m easily amused, but c\u2019mon. It\u2019s funny.<\/p>\n

The Vooom<\/a> came pre-charged and in pretty basic packaging. I was able to get it out with relative ease. It came only with a USB charge cord, no storage case \u2013 and the box itself isn\u2019t ideal for stowing it away either. Considering its small size, you may want to find a dedicated place to stash it, because it\u2019s already rolled its way under my mattress a few times.<\/p>\n

I call it \u201cchubby\u201d because it definitely feels thick in my grip when I\u2019m using it, at least when compared to its shortness. Looking at it sitting in my hand, it doesn\u2019t seem all that thicker than any other small bullet I\u2019ve seen. And yet\u2026 chubby. Maybe it\u2019s the bluntly rounded tip.<\/p>\n

On its base are two soft buttons; one is not an actual functioning button, it\u2019s the circular spot where you puncture the toy with its cord to charge it. Yeah, it\u2019s another one of those unnerving toys that close back up after you remove the cord so that it can remain waterproof. The Vooom<\/a>\u2019s settings are controlled with a single button, which means you have to cycle through every setting to return to a previous one you liked, and to turn the toy off you have to hold the button for several continuous seconds (you only need one short click to turn it on.) Since I hate patterns but love to turn the intensity up and down during use, I had to get used to turning the Vooom off in order to start back at the lowest setting, since I hated having to click ten times.<\/p>\n

The Vooom is far from noisy (especially compared to the only other vibrator currently in use in our bedroom: the Magic Wand) and its buzzing its only really audible from under a blanket when on its highest setting (the third one.) If you\u2019re a covert wanker, having to hold the button to turn the vibe off might make you nervous, but unless your interrupter has especially good ears, I don\u2019t think the noise is obvious enough to warrant extra panic.<\/p>\n

The vibrations are definitely strong. Substantially<\/em> stronger than the couple of other bullets of this size I\u2019ve encountered (usually tossed in as a bonus with other toys.) There\u2019s unquestionably some of that promised rumble, though less so on the highest setting; in fact, it has a tendency to numb me before I can orgasm with it. There\u2019s rumbling, but due in part to the vibe\u2019s size, it doesn\u2019t cover enough ground or penetrate more than skin-deep, so my clit often gets bored and then gets buzzed to sensationlessness. The Vooom<\/a>\u2019s rounded nose and location of its motor also makes it impossible to get truly pin point precision with the tip, so I can\u2019t really make up for its lack of size by digging it directly against my clit. The rumbly vibrations are there<\/em>, but they\u2019re not spread out (or focused in) enough, nor deep enough, to get me anywhere with ease.<\/p>\n

Its smaller size makes it useful to me in other ways, though. If my partner is on top of me, or I\u2019m in a position with limited hand room around my crotch, the Vooom<\/a> is definitely not going to get in the way. And with my thick labia and buried clit, I\u2019m able to snuggle the Vooom against myself and use it hands-free, especially when I\u2019m sitting up, because my labia holds it in place. I won\u2019t get great orgasms out of it (or at least I haven\u2019t so far), but the fact that it\u2019s an option is exciting for the bondage-lover in me, since until now I\u2019ve always needed at least one hand loose to manage my toys. That\u2019s worth the price of admission alone.<\/p>\n

The Vooom shines in another area, as well: replacing inferior bullets in dildos. It takes some extra wiggling due to its width, but I can fit it into the bottom of our Tantus Vibrating Vamp, replacing the much more modest Tantus bullet. It brings more power and more rumble, even with having to travel through the silicone. And because it’s waterproof, we can use the Vamp in the tub.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s also the fact that it\u2019s rechargeable (not too common at this price point) and I\u2019ll never lack a usable vibe between paydays again just because I ran out of batteries. It\u2019s less wasteful, too.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve seen it priced at $30-$40 on a few sites, but SheVibe has it for $26<\/a>\u00a0and Peepshow Toys has it for $30<\/a>. It\u2019s definitely worth $26, if you want a small, rumbly-ish vibrator that\u2019s waterproof and rechargeable \u2013 and you don\u2019t care or can\u2019t afford to care about the behavior of the company that produced it. I especially recommend it for rumble vibration newbies and folks looking to upgrade their dildo or harness\u2019s lackluster bullet vibe (assuming the space has a little extra room to accommodate the Vooom\u2019s width.) Because despite my complaints, I did go out of my way to score a second Vooom through a promotion Peepshow Toys was doing in January (free with $100 purchase), so I clearly like the thing.<\/p>\n

Also, it comes in a cheerful, candy-like shade of blue (as well as black, pink, and purple.) Who doesn’t love blue?<\/p>\n
