Review: Cloud 9

Posted by Sarahbear on January 28, 2010

Excuse me while I gush, quite literally, about this toy. I received the Cloud 9 from Babeland about two weeks ago and haven’t been able to devote much time to trying it out for various reasons. I used it once with my husband, who had it turned around backwards. I was wondering why it felt like he was trying to scrape through my vaginal wall into my rectum. I’ve had the opportunity to try it the right way now and this is one of the first g-spot and Cal Exotics toys that I am truly pleased with.

The Cloud 9 is a hard plastic g-spot vibrator made by Cal Exotics. It has the same velvet cote texture that a lot of toys made by this company have. This gives it the firmness of the plastic, with the nice drag of matte silicone. It’s about four and a half inches long and two inches in diameter, which is pretty thick as far as insertables go. Some people may find it necessary to work up to this, and you’ll want to use plenty of your favorite lube with. No worries about damaging anything since plastic is compatible with most anything.

The Cloud 9 has a curvy body and a rounded base. The top of the toy has an oval shaped tip with five raised nubs designed for intense g-spot stimulation. It curves in slightly and rounds back out to two inches of thickness to give maximum stimulation to the nerves in the entrance to the vagina. It then dips in and rounds back out into a nicely shaped handle that fits in the palm of the hand for easy thrusting or rocking.

The bottom of the Cloud 9 twists off to reveal the battery compartment. It runs on two double A sized batteries. While I did manage to squeeze rechargeable ones in there, I wouldn’t recommend it because it was such a tight fit I am going to be struggling to get them out when they need to be recharged. There is a clear o-ring around the base to keep water out, so you can play with your Cloud 9 in the shower, tub or swimming pool if you want. Just be sure to twist the bottom on tightly to prevent damage to the battery compartment.

A lot of these types of toys have a turn dial on the base, and this one is no exception. To control the speed of the vibrations you just twist the base. The vibrations range from slow to pretty intense and remain quiet through every setting. The thickness of the toy and the velvet cote give it a deep, thrummy feeling vibration instead of the surface chattering of some hard plastics. They feel incredible when using the Cloud 9 and can be felt deep in the g-spot and in the entrance to the vagina.

Cleaning is pretty simple. Just soap and water or a commercial toy cleaner. Be sure the end is twisted on tightly when cleaning, just as you would when using it in the tub. Don’t try it for anal play because there isn’t a large enough flare at the base to prevent it from getting stuck. Seriously, don’t risk it.

Overall, I absolutely love this toy so far. That’s saying quite a lot considering I have tried several of the higher end g-spot toys and have had little success in getting myself to orgasm with them. If you enjoy thicker and firmer toys with deep vibrations then the Cloud 9 would be a worthy investment. Go pick one up to add to your collection!
