Fun Factory Stronic Petite Review
My Verdict
The Fun Factory Stronic Petite is a sleek, hands-free and easy-to-operate thrusting dildo. This mini pulsator promises 3 different patterns and 5 speeds, while being designed to "improve vaginal health and libido for those dealing with menopause". For someone like me who is younger and still very active, this toy didn't hit many positive marks but may for others.

About The Fun Factory Stronic Petite
The Fun Factory Stronic Petite is a compact thrusting dildo. Its smooth design features 3 easy to use buttons and stimulating ridges for maximum pleasure. The Stronic Petite is made from body safe materials that are hypoallogenic as well as waterproof. This toy however is not recommended for anyone with heart problems or a pace maker, this is noted on the selling website, the outside of the box and an additional wrap around the toy itself when you unbox it. As the Stronic Petite does not feature a flared base it is not recommended for anal usage. The toy features 3 different modes of gentle, quick and "firework" to go along with 5 speeds.

Personal Experience
New and Exciting
The Stronic Petite from Fun Factory piqued my interest for the sole reason that it was a thrusting dildo. This was unlike any product I have previously owned or had thought to try. The packaging is discreet and comes with a charging cord, a storage bag and a booklet. The product itself is a good weight, slightly smaller than anticipated but charges quickly and feels high quality. Out of the box, I was impressed by the design and not cluttered with too many buttons, making it easy to operate. I was also excited as it promised hands-free usage. However, I found that with lubrication this toy, being used by someone not even close to menopause and curvy, was going to require a hand.Different from a Vibrator
The way the Stronic Petite works is not with standard vibrations but with the internal magnets bouncing off each other to provide the “thrusting” or pulsating sensation. If you are someone with a strong pelvic floor or need something with more length you may run into the same problems, I had where it easily slips out or doesn’t quite hit the spots internally that you wish it would. The Stronic Petite did charge to full very quickly and does hold the charge it promises but the charging cable is an awkward shape making keeping it aligned very finicky. I also found difficulty switching modes and increasing speed. The lowest speed for the Stronic Petite barely feels like it’s moving, whereas the highest speed feels like a low to medium on a standard vibrator. I did try it out in different settings like the shower vs bed, as well as different positions to see if the hands free worked at any angle, only to be left unsatisfied. I think for a smaller person or users may find it useful as a warmup toy before a partner. I could also see the Stronic Petite being good for someone dealing with menopause, as the website recommends.Design
The overall design of the Stronic Petite is visually appealing and sleek. Unlike its predecessor, it comes with ridges for additional internal stimulation. The overall design feels luxurious and the buttons are easy to use. For me personally, the design was easy to hold though I would have liked the buttons for changing patterns and speeds to be different. I noticed once in use that it was very easy to accidentally press the button and instead of changing speed, would change the pattern. The buttons on the Stronic Petite also feel a little small at least for me.
Ease of Use
The Stronic Petite does come travel locked but instructions on the first page of the booklet do tell you how to release it. The charging cable that comes with it is round on one end and I personally think it makes it more difficult to keep it connected to the toy for charging. I think it would have been better off with a flat one, because even with magnets the slightest movement disconnected it. The buttons are very easy to push but I feel like a little to easy to push making it very easy to bump a setting and change the way you are playing. The handle for mobility is easy to hold but its smoothness does make it difficult to hold onto or grab onto in certain positions.
Quality
The Stronic Petite feels very high-quality both in structure and materials used. Even at its highest setting its extremely quiet. The toy also holds up well to the shower as well as being very easy to keep clean. It just requires a bit of warm water and toy safe cleaner.
Price
For me personally, I don't think the Stronic Petite does enough to justify the higher price point. I'm sure a beginner might benefit from the size as an introduction to thrusting movements. I also didn't find the modes/speeds to be anything substantial. As for what comes in the box, you get the Stronic Petite, a booklet, a charging cable and a bag for storage/travel. Personally, I think the charging cable could be better and stay connected easier. Additionally, for the price of the Stronic Petite, I'm disappointed in the quality of the bag it comes with because it looks and feels cheap. I've personally gotten better storage bags from cheaper toys.
Performance
The Stronic Petite boasts 3 different modes and 5 different speeds. Personally, I felt like the speeds were not noticeable enough to classify as a 5 speed. In comparison to a vibrator the highest "thrusting" speed felt like a middle speed. For some, that may work but I had hoped for a bit more out of their fastest speed. I also personally thought there wasn't much variety between the 3 pre-made speeds, which are gentle, fast and "firework". You only really feel the difference in modes between gentle and firework with the Stronic Petite. From the website, they seem more interested in marketing this towards beginners or women dealing with menopause, of which I am neither. It did take a lot of extra add-ons besides the Stronic Petite to get anywhere close to getting off. I'd have preferred the modes and speeds be different buttons as I did notice how easy it was to change mode vs speed during use. I didn't use it long enough to find out if the battery gets too hot with too much use or if the listed 2-3 hours of use actually holds up. I found overall performance of the Stronic Petite too finnicky and didn't stimulate like promised.
Packaging
The packaging for the Stronic Petite is well designed and sleek to look at, which I personally appreciated. It is not discreet but it's not unappealing to look at, which happens a lot with sex toy products. The outside of the box has one side that discusses the company, where it's made and features a QR code to scan for product video. The other side contains information about the toy itself such as body safe materials, rechargeable and the fact it's waterproof. Inside the box, wrapped around the Stronic Petite is netting for its protection and a bright red warning label advising against use if you have a pacemaker. There is also a booklet containing instructions, explains the concept of the product as well as tips. The Stronic Petite box also contains a travel/storage pouch that zips up and has the FunFactory logo on the front. I found the storage bag to be a little cheap feeling and with the company logo on the outside you lose the ability for it to be discreet.
Materials and care
The materials of the Stronic Petite are body-safe non porous and hypoallergenic. The silicone does give the overall look and design a high quality feel. The Stronic is a decent weight and feels very durable. The toy is marketed as waterproof and it makes it extremely easy to clean. However, I did notice that it does attract dust easily, so cleaning before use is necessary. As previously mentioned, it does come with a storage bag but I feel like the bag is cheaply made and with the company logo on the outside you lose the ability to use the bag discreetly.
