Mystim Sizzling Simon E-Stim Vibrator Review

Personal Experience

Sizzling Simon is Serious!

Simon Says…Sizzle

Design

Of all of the electro-stim dildos I've tried, the design of the Sizzling Simon was my favorite. I think it works so well because the conductive material runs all the way down both sides of the dildo, so you get a really broad, satisfying stimulation. I found this much more enjoyable than the more concentrated electrostim that felt too sharp. I also like that it's looks both sleek and intimidating and feels more like a serious piece of kit than a novelty. I think the ripples are a really nice touch and although it looks big and scary, the bulbed shape is nice and filling. It's also a nice touch that the magnetic charging point on the cable is the Mystim logo and it fits perfectly over the Mystim logo on the toy!

Ease of Use

There are 6 buttons on the Sizzling Simon so it can take a bit of time to figure them all out. I do recommend spending some time familiarising yourself with them, so you (or whoever you are using it on) don't get an unintended shock while using it! Luckily, the layout is pretty straight forward. The top three buttons control the electro-stimulation patterns, while the bottom three control the vibrations. I like that there's separate buttons to change the pattern and increase or decrease the intensity for both vibration and electro-stimulation. It also has light bars on the buttons, which makes it easier to see what's activated. I would love a light dial to show which electrostimulation level you are on.

Quality

It feels very well made and sturdy. The weightiness also adds to the quality of the toy. The buttons feel nice to press and don't have a loud clicky sound. I also love the black case as it looks great and keeps the toy and charger clean and safe between uses. The vibrations can get a little loud but nothing too dramatic!

Price

This is one of the more expensive electric dildos that I've reviewed but considering that it feels a real step up in terms of quality and it's a stand-alone electro-stimulation that doesn't require a power pack, I would say it's a very reasonable price. I think it's well worth it if you want to experience enjoyable electro-stim play as the two cheaper models I tried didn't even come close to this one.

Performance

I was very impressed by the Sizzling Simon. The electrostimulation really packed a punch a lit of the whole area with tingling, fizzing sensations! I also really appreciated that both the vibration and electrostimulation have different patterns and you can adjust the intensity within the pattern. The two vibrating motors also delivered some pretty rumbly and powerful vibrations and it's nice that in some patterns they vibrate together and others they vibrate in alternating patterns. The vibrations can get a little loud but it wasn't too bad.

Packaging

The Sizzling Simon comes packaged in a black cardboard box with a clear picture of the toy on the outside of the box. While it's not my favorite design, I think it's fine for what it is. There's also a lot of information about the toy and how to use it.

Materials and care

The insertable part of the shaft is made of medical-grade platinum silicone and the handle is made of ABS plastic, which are both body-safe materials. It's also waterproof, which is very unusual for an electro-stimulation toy, but makes cleaning nice and easy! Simply wash with warm water and fragrance-free soap or sex toy cleaner and make sure it's completely dry before use. It also comes with a lovely zip-up case for storage.

Special feature

The Sizzling Simon comes with a program designed specifically for exercising the pelvic floor muscles. The manual states that the regular settings stimulate the nerve endings, whereas the training program stimulates the muscle fibres, creating contractions similar to performing Kegels. I’m not really sure how effective this really is, and I don’t think all vulva owners need to be doing Kegel exercises, unless advised to by a pelvic health specialist but it might interest some people.
