Fun Factory Bubbles from Babeland $74

Fun Factory has a new line of click-n-charge vibrators available at Babeland. They’re basically the most adorable things next to puppies. Nothing can be as cute as puppies, but a pink Bubbles by Fun Factory runs a close second. It looks like a bumpy, pink caterpillar. There are four “bubbles” stacked on top of each other and it curves at the end for g-spot stimulation. It’s also thick enough that the texture of the bubbles will stimulate the sensitive nerves in the entrance to the vagina. Oh it’s nice!

Bubbles is made of 100% silicone so it’s free of all those nasty chemicals and completely sterilizable. The silicone is squishy enough to be comfortable to use, yet firm enough to get the job done. It comes in a soft pink or blue color and has a black, plastic base with a metal “Fun Factory” logo on the very bottom. This is where you’ll hook it up to it’s magnetic charger.

Wait, what? Yeah. More and more companies are creating eco-friendly products that are not only rechargeable, but magnetic as well. This way they can make the toys completely waterproof! The charger looks a lot like your typical cell phone charger, only it’s better. But if you’re concerned about discretion the charger will blend in. It’s solid black with the Fun Factory motto “love yourself” etched into the side. There’s a small red light next to the motto. The magnetic part that attaches to the base of the vibrator has the Fun Factory logo on the back. It flashes while it’s charging and shines steadily once it’s completely charged. My Bubbles came with a pretty decent charge so I played with it a bit before charging it (six hours recommended by the instructions) for the first full charge. Not much, just tested the settings. Every charge after that you should watch the red light to let you know if it’s done. According to the instruction booklet it should last about an hour on a full charge at the maximum setting. Mine actually only charged for about three hours before the light was solid red.

Once it was done charging I unplugged everything from the wall and started playing. The Babeland site states that it has four speeds and three vibration patterns. To me it seems like there are more speeds. To turn it on you hold down the plus button for two seconds. This starts a very slow, low vibration. Every time you click the plus sign it speeds up or you can hold it down and it will escalate to the strongest vibration. It seems like there are 7 or 8 speeds, but the difference is subtle between each one. The strongest is very intense and tickles my hand and wrist when I am holding it. It’s a little loud on the max speed so you may want to hide out in the shower or tub if you have nosy room mates. To access the other settings you hold down the plus sign again for two more seconds. The first setting is a roller coaster, starting at the lower speed and going to the most intense. The second is a quicker version of the roller coaster. The final setting is a quick, pulsing, hard vibration. To go back to the steady vibration you just hold down the minus button. To turn the vibrator off completely you hold it down until the rumbling slows and press the minus button once more.

Because I don't drink soda, here's something to compare it to.

The vibrator and magnetic charger come in separate boxes, each with a set of instructions detailing how to handle, charge and care for it. Fun Factory included a nice mini-brochure with pictures of the other vibrators, dildos and sensual products they make and a sample packet of their Toy Fluid water-based lubricant. I really like their packaging because it has magnetic flap that opens to tell you some of the things about the vibrator and there are easy to understand pictures of what to do and not to do with the products. You’ll want to use only water-based lube with the Bubbles because silicones don’t play nicely together. Don’t use it anally, at all. There is no flared base and the design makes it easy for the anal muscles to suck it up into your butt. Cleaning is simple, mild anti-bacterial soap and water or a commercial toy cleaner will work fine for regular use. If you plan to share this vibrator with another person you may want to use a condom or sterilize it with a 10% bleach solution. I would advise against boiling or putting it into the dishwasher because you don’t want to mess up the motor.

I loved using this vibrator. The curve and length was great for reaching my g-spot, though it may not be quite right for some women. The only real complaint I have about it is the slick plastic base gets too slippery when it’s lubed up and it’s already a bit small to try to thrust with. Other than that, it’s amazing! You should definitely go pick one up from Babeland.
