Acuvibe Mini: Hitachi Lovers Rejoice! Or not.. ..
Hardware Annie gives a big Thumbs Up!
Ah, the Acuvibe Mini! The smaller and more portable version of the Acuvibe. I really like this one, it may very well replace the Hitachi in my heart. The vibrations are comparable to the Hitachi’s low setting (just at a little higher frequency), it doesn’t keep me attached to the wall or use batteries, and it’s a much sleeker and less bulky 9″ with a 1 3/5″ diameter around the head.
For power, it recharges by being plugged into the wall for a few hours (8 hours when you first charge it), then you’re ready to go! The charger cord detaches completely from the Acuvibe. Unfortunately while charging it, it gives off a blue light that all manufacturers seem to think all electronics need while they’re charging/on that light up your room like a night light! So you might want to keep it covered if you’re charging it at night. And remember to charge it after each use!!! You’re in for a terrible disappointment if you don’t ; )
And now for the fun, the vibrations! Like I said earlier, I personally would compare the vibrations to the Hitachi’s low setting, with a higher frequency. it got a 4 out of 5 for volume and intensity over at Babeland, and I’m inclined to agree, maybe 3 stars for volume. It’s pretty quiet for the power it pumps out, and if it’s under a blanket (warning, not supposed to do that according to he manual, heh) it’s pretty well muffled (get it? Muffled?? Haha, sorry, I could help myself). Just have some music playing while you’re using her and none’ll be the wiser.
Now the anatomy. It’s body is plastic and just under 7″ and a 2″ vinyl slightly curved head with a small flexible gap between the two to make up 9″ and to . The head doesn’t have any padding like the Hitachi does, but I certainly don’t notice much difference.
Over all, I’m very satisfied with this one!
But while using this fine product, I want you all to remember “Never drop or insert any object into any opening.” The Acuvibe Mini’s User Manual says so! So whatever you guys are thinking, just don’t do it!
The Blonde is not so excited.
I was really excited at the prospect of reviewing the Acuvibe Mini. I read some other reviews and the “Mini Hitachi” sounded right up my alley (I love, love, love, love, LOVE my Magic Wand)! Have to say though… I was a little disappointed with the Acuvibe Mini once I got my hands on it.
It has a nice shape, is fairly quiet (especially compared to the Hitachi), holds a charge for 3 or 4 uses, and can stand up to some rough-housing. Unfortunately, it didn’t always deliver the desired results. The frequency of the vibration is noticeably different than the Magic Wand, and it really made a difference to me! I had to actually lift my clitoral hood ever so slightly, so the Mini connected directly with my clit. After a few minutes of that, I could feel that tell-tale fluttering low in my belly, but that’s a little overly specific to accomplish a task the Hitachi manages easily.
However! The Acuvibe Mini is innocuous-looking enough to make it perfect for introducing into partner play without disturbing your partner’s delicate sensibilities (or bruising his ego!). As a partner toy, the Acuvibe Mini really excelled. Brought into your bed to spice up intercourse, the Mini can really take average sex over the top!!!
