Fun Factory Stronic Petite — Test & Review

Personal Experience

New and Exciting

Different from a Vibrator

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.
