Review: Fairy Pocket Mini USB

Fairy Pocket Mini USB

Women use to be limited to the gigantic, loud, heavy and fugly Hitachi Magic Wand if they wanted a non-phallic massager. No more! Now we’ve got so many options. Many of them are are in the Fairy line, including the Fairy Pocket Mini USB that I received from MyPleasure.com.

So what is it? It’s a mini-version, literally pocket-sized (as the name implies), of a wand massager. It’s size makes it both cuter and more discreet. It can easily be stashed in a purse, pocket or bag for travel and it charges with a cord that plugs into any USB port. Quite convenient!

It comes in a little pink box, complete with fairy silhouettes and sparkles. It’s a Japanese product, and most of the characters on the box are Japanese, but there is enough important information translated to English. It’s got a rechargeable lithium battery that takes about 90 minutes to fully charge. The charge should last about 70 minutes and it’s got a protection circuit to prevent overcharging. All rechargeable products should have this, especially sex toys.

Wand, charger and box.

The toy itself is quite tiny. It’s 5 3/4 inches long and 1 inch wide. It’s white with light pink cursive writing and a fairy logo. This particular version, coming from MyPleasure.com, also has the My Pleasure logo on the back in the same shade of pink. It comes with a wrist strap and a USB cord, which should be plugged in and fully charged before your first use. (Any rechargeable sex toy should be charged before your first use.) When charging, the tip of the toy that’s plugged in will glow blue. It doesn’t change colors when it’s done. Just keep an eye on the clock and it should be done after about 90 minutes.

Now it’s ready to use! It has two settings, low and high. Both are intense, but I’m quite sensitive to vibrations. If I press the end into my wrist on low, I can feel the vibrations all the way in the tips of my fingers, if that gives you an idea of how strong it is. It makes a quiet, but high-pitched whine when turned on. Nothing that would be noticeable if there was a bit of background noise, but it might be distracting in a quiet room.

The size is more manageable during sex, for me. I like that it’s travel-friendly and easily stored, but I also like that I can fit it in between my husband and I when we’re facing each other during sex. Some wands are bulky, and that can make it awkward to find a good position or angle during penetration. This is small enough that we can stay in a comfortable position. The size also makes it more lightweight, so your arm isn’t going to get tired when you’re up on your knees supporting your own weight. It also makes it less intimidating. If you’re new to sex toys, you’re probably not going to want something as big as your forearm that sounds like a jackhammer. Hell, I’ve been using sex toys for several years now and I still don’t want something that intrusive. It’s just nice to find something that has enough power to carry you through an intense orgasm that’s small enough to fit in the palm of your hand.

Small enough to fit in my hand

Since it’s made of plastic, you can feel free to use any of your favorite lubricants with it. Silicone won’t degrade the material, but if you’re more fond of water based lubes, that’s fine too. Clean up may be a bit tricky as this toy is not waterproof. You may want to limit cleaning to wiping it down with a damp rag after spraying it with commercial toy cleaner, carefully avoiding the open charging port on the handle. It can only be charged via a USB port, but there are other Fairy Minis available that use batteries if you don’t own or have access to a USB.

I’ve really enjoyed the Fairy Pocket Mini and would recommend it for most anyone (unless you don’t have a USB, then you should just get the one that uses batteries!) They’re available at MyPleasure.com, with quick and discreet shipping.
