Marital Aid Test Kitchen: Snuggling Up To The Snugglepuss

When you're clicking through the internet in search of hot porn, it helps to have both hands at the ready. After all, the kind of penetrating research we do here at Fleshbot takes a lot of effort, and a girl doesn't always have a spare hand with which to steer a sex toy.

So needless to say, a vibe that promises some hands-free satisfaction has more than a bit of appeal--and the possibility of getting off with both hands above the belt was certainly something I had to investigate.

A small U-shaped vibe, the Snugglepuss delivers the goods with no hands needed. One leg inserts into the vagina while the other hugs the clitoris, clamping the vibe into place; and as the two legs pull apart, the motor kicks into action — no buttons needed either!

Dual action vibes don't always hit the right spots. But in my case, the Snugglepuss positioned itself properly, the ticklers fluttering against my clit and gspot in delicious, orgasmic harmony. And yes, the hands-free part was pretty sweet: having a toy that stayed in place all on its own--which allowed me to to focus on, um, other sources of stimulation--was definitely a nice change of pace.

But it's not all sunshine with the Snugglepuss. Much as I liked the design, I was disappointed by the less than banging motor. And with just one speed, and no pulse pattern variations, this one-trick pony can get a little boring after a bit of use. (As far as that;'s concerned: if you're looking to shake things up a bit, I highly recommend walking around with the Snugglepuss planted in your puss. A little rocking action can totally rock your world.)

The Snugglepuss is a winner when it comes to design and ease of use--and if you're happy with some basic vibrating action, it may just be the vibe for you. I'd like to see a little bit of an upgrade involving a stronger motor and more vibration speeds—but until then, I'll happily groove on all the hands-free love it's able to deliver.
