Marital Aid Test Kitchen: LELO Nea Pleasure Object

We (meaning I and the Marital Aid Test Kitchen's Willing Subject, because this pleasure object is For Ladies) were very impressed with this week's device, she because the Nea is as innocuous and pleasant looking as a smooth stone one would find on a beach, and I because it looks like it comes from Space. Outer Space.

Really, this thing looks like the phone all the cool kids will have if technology form factors start trending smaller again. A smooth convex (or concave, depending on how you look at it) thumb-sized device, the Nea is impossible to peg as a vibrator until it is switched on, at which point it solidly (but quietly) hums through several speeds.

This might be the vibrator spiritually guilty but materialistic Carmela Soprano might use for both its elegance and its discretion. A pale light glows within it when charged, and the On/Accelerate button. is a subtle bump on the surface. Until everyone you know gets one, no one will know it's a vibrator.

"I like the gaudy, weapons-grade vibrators," our Willing Subject said, comparing the former to joke bridal shower gifts, "but this is like those little lower back tattoos before everyone had one."

There are no handles or adhesive surfaces, just a pronounced concavity (or convexity) that hugs that One Important Curve.

An AC adapter along with two international voltage adapters are included in the box. The Nea promises to hold a charge (no batteries necessary) for up to seven hours. That should about do it for most Atlantic voyages.
