As its name suggests, the Snail Vibe is a snail-shaped sex toy. More precisely, it’s a rather unusual rabbit. Its clitoral arm is long and flexible, and as the insertable arm goes back and forth, it coils up and uncoils. This system allows it to stay in constant contact with the clitoris.
I’m generally not a big fan of rabbits, but when I come across specimens that seem original to me, I’m always up for a review! That’s how I got the chance to discover the NomiTang Infiniti, the Womanizer Inside Out, the Satisfyer G-Spot rabbit and the G-Vibe.
Here’s my review of the Snail Vibe.
The sex toy’s packaging
The Snail Vibe arrives in a cardboard box, which you’ll then bin.
Inside, the vibrator is stored in its case, a nice sturdy fuchsia case, which also contains its charging cable. It has a zip.
The Snail Vibe’s appearance
The Snail Vibe is a fuchsia two-headed device, fairly bulky. But although it’s large, its insertable part remains a reasonable size, with a diameter of around 3 centimetres.
Then the rabbit splits into two arms. One is straight, in line with the insertable part, and ends in a large ball that serves as a handle. The other, spiral-shaped and flexible, has a ball of the same size at its end: that’s the part that vibrates against the clitoris.
You can see a snail, a musical note, a carnivorous plant in it… It’s up to your imagination.
Texture and materials
The Snail Vibe is made of silicone. It’s therefore odourless and harmless to the body.
Its clitoral arm is soft, very flexible, while its insertable part and its handle form a rigid block.
Controls and modes
The controls are located on the ball that serves as a handle. The Snail Vibe has two motors, independent of each other.
Two buttons control the vibrations of the insertable part, while two others control the vibrating clitoral ball. For each of these two ends, the rabbit has five modes and five intensity levels of vibration.
Using the Snail Vibe
The device initially left me perplexed. But what was I supposed to do with this thing?
Let’s start by visualising how you insert it. The straight arm goes into the vagina, while the spiral arm, pointing towards the navel, rests its vibrating ball against the clitoris.
Barely once the tip of the Snail Vibe is inserted, its vibrating ball is immediately against the clitoris. The stimulation covers a fairly large area. And then, as you push the sex toy into the vagina, its clitoral arm gradually uncoils, pushed by the vulva, and spontaneously coils back up when you pull it out. This dynamic allows the vibrations of the external arm to be exactly in the right spot, against the clit, and without interruption.
The large ball vibrates against the clit, but also spreads its vibrations to the surrounding erogenous area. The sensation is pleasant, the vibrations are powerful enough, not mind-blowing either, but more than enough to achieve orgasms.
Conclusion on the Snail Vibe
The good points:
- It’s a rabbit capable of staying in constant contact with the clit, from the very start!
- Its vibrations are powerful enough.
- It has two motors, controllable independently of each other.
- A nice storage case is included.
The bad points:
- It’s a bit pricey (around €125).
Review score
Pros
- Constant contact with the clitoris
- Adapts to various body shapes
- Two independent motors
- Powerful enough vibrations
- Nice case
Cons
- A bit pricey
The Snail Vibe is an original and well-designed sex toy. Its clitoral end stays exactly in the right spot all the time, without any effort or excessive pressure, before you’ve even inserted the other arm. And it stimulates a fairly large area around it. These two characteristics make it more effective than an ordinary rabbit.
Besides, since the angle and depth of penetration don’t affect its ability to work as intended, it adapts better to a wider range of body shapes.
