ROMP Free X — Test & Review

Personal Experience

A First Look at the Romp Free X

From Small Packages Come Big Surprises

The Downside

Design

I really appreciate the petite nature of this toy. It makes it very easy to maneuver and doesn't cause any arm fatigue while in use. The cleaning is also very seamless since it's waterproof and simple to take apart with ease. The shape is also very unassuming, so if you were to leave this in your bathroom drawer, it could easily pass as a fancy little skin care tool. The Romp Free X could easily be thrown into your toiletry bag on your trip and no one would give your bag a second glance. It feels silky and smooth and like a nice quality silicone. The design and colors are simple, but I feel like it makes it very whimsical and fun - kind of like a grape Hi-Chew. It is very lightweight, which did make me concerned that the motor would be flimsy, but I was proven wrong there. I think that if it were any heavier it would end up being too cumbersome to hold to your clit for long periods of time.

Ease of Use

The Romp Free X is very simple to use. There are only two buttons. Pressing the up button for several seconds turns it on and pressing the down button for several seconds turns it off. There are 10 intensity levels you can explore by tapping the up or down button. The button placement also makes it very easy to adjust your settings mid-play without having to twist your arms unnaturally. It takes some exploring to figure out which position and intensity works for you. I recommend starting slow and low as clit suckers can very quickly lead to overstimulation and make you overly sensitive, in my experience. The Romp Free X is very small and lightweight, which is great for people with mobility issues or injuries. It could get slippery due to the smooth silicone if you like to be heavy handed with the lube. The only issue I foresee is the charger and charging port. It is very difficult to slide the charger into the port and almost feels like you are doing it wrong and might break it until you see the light click on.

Quality

The Romp Free X is a good quality toy. The lack of heft to it could definitely make you feel like it would be cheap at first glance, but I think that it speaks for itself once it's turned on. I holds its own and really packs more of a punch than it looks like it could. It's very sturdy and doesn't have any give. It's on the quiet side and doesn't rumble too much while it's pressed up against your skin. If it's not pressed up against you, the highest three settings could be heard from across the room..unless your computer fan drowns it out like mine!

Price

I think that the price is very reasonable for a clitoral suction toy and runs on the lower end of the spectrum compared to other brands in the market. I believe that it's also a great price point for someone new to clitoral suction toys who wants to try out a different sensation without breaking the bank.

Performance

The Romp Free X charged shockingly quick for me - it was on the charger for less than twenty minutes when I noticed the light for it stopped blinking to indicate it had reached a full battery. The suction was shockingly power for a tiny little toy. I expected to have this thing on full blast since I normally prefer my vibrations on high, but I stayed steadily in the middle of the intensities which was perfect for me. Having it too high made me too sensitive to keep the toy on - which could be fun if I wasn't playing solo! The battery never got too hot for me, but lasted about 35 out of the 45 minutes that was advertised, which is short for my compared to some of the other toys I'm used to.

Packaging

The packaging for the Romp Free X is pretty basic and doesn't really let off any of its charm. It looks more like a box for a computer accessory than a sex toy. It doesn't give you any tips or examples on the outside, but does give you some basics on the side of the box about size and features. The inside of the box is much more fun. It comes with adorable little stickers, a manual and a playbook. The playbook gives you instructions for using and cleaning the Romp Free X as well as ideas for using it.

Materials and care

The Romp Free X's body is sleek and non-porous. The material is a smooth, high quality silicone, which means it should be used with a water based lube. Cleaning is made very easy since the toy is water proof and the charging port is very small to prevent water seeping in. The toy can be disassembled quickly and thoroughly cleaned by removing simulation head, which is the piece of the toy that does the actual suctioning. This is something I appreciated because you can get a really nice, deep clean without worrying that lube will be caught in a hard to clean area for an eternity. Although the Romp Free X doesn't come with a storage bag or box aside from the outer packaging, this isn't too concerning as the toy is very petite and easy to store if discretion is needed. It's slightly smaller than an average sized computer mouse.
