ROMP Shine X Clitoral Suction Stimulator Review

Personal Experience

The pleasurable side

I was generally really happy with the Romp Shine X Clitoral Suction Stimulator and will definitely use it for self-pleasure in the future. As someone who is not a fan of pulsating rhythms and patterns, I liked that it was simple to vary the intensity and there was no risk of accidentally pushing the button one time to many and going from the verge of orgasm to some sort of Morse Code message being tapped out on my clit. I tried it a few times, and generally tended to orgasm by the 5th-7th intensity level, which means you get a nice build-up to the more intense sensation. The only real downside to this clit sucker toy, I felt, was that the head felt larger than it needed to be. I did not try using the toy with penis in vagina sex, but I think I would struggle to find the space. I did notice that, when I orgasmed and naturally squeezed my legs together, it felt a bit bulky between my thighs. The manual suggested using it for thigh and nipple stimulation, and I tried both of these. On my thighs it just felt like a somewhat ineffective massage gun, and not particularly sexy. On my nipples it felt very intense – and though I generally have mixed feelings about nipple stimulation, if you or someone you’re having sex with enjoys it I think this could be a good option.

The practical side

When I first plugged this toy in it was a bit scary – the pin to charge it is very narrow and it’s quite difficult to penetrate the small hole at the end (pun very much intended). I did worry I was going to break the charging pin, and I had to push it past a point where it didn’t feel like it was going in very easily. The toy is waterproof and easy to clean with toy cleaner – the mouth bit comes off to do this. However, I found myself wondering, “Why does it have this removable mouth?”. It doesn’t seem to add any extra sensation that other similar toys without it don’t give, and it’s just another bit of toy to be sitting about in the bathroom to dry and increases the number of crevices to clean. Generally though, despite all my waffling, it’s a very simple toy to use and look after!
