Design

If Barbie were to design a pleasure device, this would be it. The shade of pink silicone is unique to this particular Satisfyer product, and a metallic finish upgrades the ABS plastic from bland to glam. Although pink isn't a color I gravitate towards, it certainly fits the Barbie aesthetic. It's compact, measuring only 5.5x1.75-inches; and the curved body feels more ergonomic than that of some competitors. Most importantly, the clitoral opening has a 0.75-inch diameter to accommodate most anatomies. While the nozzle isn't detachable, it's gaping enough to be easily purged of lubricant and cleaned.

Ease of Use

This toy requires very little effort to bring the user pleasure; suction does 99% of the labor. The silicone has enough friction to prevent slipping, and the nozzle holds ample lubricant. That being said, the controls are located on the underside of the toy. This is opposite of the thumb's position during use, which can make operation feel a little awkward. As mentioned in the "Personal Experience," section, these buttons are also arranged counterintuitively. While this was confusing at first, it only took a couple of uses to get over the learning curve.

Quality

The devil is in the details, and Satisfyer paid great attention to detail when engineering the Breathless. This toy feels durable and high-quality. Seamless silicone protects hardware during submersion, and I have no fears while enjoying in the tub. The suction motor is whisper-quiet, while the vibrator is more silent than average. Both perform reliably, much longer than advertised. The buzzy vibrations is the only negative feature about this product. From the bright pink indicator light to the metallic ABS plastic, quality was elevated every step of the way.

Price

The Satisfyer Breathless retails for $69.99 on Adam & Eve. This is comparable to other Satisfyer air pulse toys, and it's well worth the pleasure experienced. However, Satisfyer manufactures stronger, more versatile suction toys for less. For example, the Satisfyer Pro 2 Generation 3 retails for only $59.99; it offers 12 vibration patterns, 11 pulse modes, and a liquid air nozzle. The Pro 2 Generation 3 is more bulky, but it offers more power and the buttons are more intuitive. Not to mention, it's Bluetooth compatible. So, while the Satisfyer Breathless is worth the price, I advise weighing the options available.

Performance

The Satisfyer Breathless performed gently and efficiently. It's advertised as taking up to 2-hours to charge, with a battery life of up to 60-minutes. Since I gravitated towards suction-only use, the battery lasted much longer- 4-hours and 36-minutes, to be exact. It performed for 1-hour and 36-minutes with vibrations and suction on the highest settings. I tested this multiple times with similar results; and, after hours of constant testing, the silicone was only slightly warm. The magnetic charger became dislodged at times. However, while un-interrupted, it only took 42-minutes to fully charge.

Packaging

The Satisfyer Breathless arrived in a box almost as compact as the toy. Simple graphics accurately depicted the product within, while clear bullet points concisely directed use. This packaging was cute, but too flimsy for long-term storage. It included the toy, a USB charger, and a user manual. There's no travel pouch, so remember to store silicone toys apart. Tamper evident stickers bordered the opening flaps, which I felt was sufficient for this particular type of packaging. The adhesive tore the graphics as I peeled back the stickers. If one wishes to keep their packaging intact, slit the tape instead.

Materials and care

The Satisfyer Breathless is composed of body-safe silicone and ABS plastic. As with all silicone toys, it should only be used with water based lubricant. I'd advise a thin-medium viscosity lubricant, like Sliquid Sassy. Clean before and after use with a mild, liquid soap (or sex toy cleaner) and comfortably hot water. Dry with a lint-free cloth before storing. To charge, simply attach the magnetic charger prongs to contact points and plug into a USB receptacle. An indicator light will flash while charging, and become solid once charging is complete. The first charging session may take up to 4 hours.
