BonBon

The BonBon by Natural Contours is a discreet but powerful clitoral vibrator.  It’s made of plastic, so the texture is firm and smooth and it comes with it’s own little storage bag.  The BonBon takes 2 AAA batteries which go into a little compartment on the side.  The compartment is actually a little hard to open once you close it all the way.  The best way to get it open is to press down on the grooves on the cover and slowly slide it away from the toy.  It might take a few tries to get it all the way off, but it can be done!

To operate the BonBon, press the raised button down by the tip.  The first press will give you the highest steady vibration setting, which is pretty strong for such a small vibrator.  If you press the button again, you’ll get the medium strength steady vibration and a third push will give the low steady vibration.  There is one more vibration setting for this little vibrator (just push the button again after the last steady vibration) and it is a strong pulse.  To turn the vibrator off, push the button one more time.

Now, the design of this toy is so that you can nestle it against your pubic bone and deliver vibrations via the tip to your clit.  It has a slight curve on the underside to help make this comfortable.  The vibrations can be felt throughout the body of the toy, but they seem to be focused in the tip.  I tried this vibrator in multiple positions in both partner and solo sex to make sure it got a thorough review.  At first, when I was checking out all the vibration settings I was a little intimidated by the strongest setting.  It seemed like it would be too much or possibly numbing.  It turns out that there is a situation for every setting.

So, let’s start with missionary partner sex.  I thought this would be my favorite way to use this vibrator because of it’s small size.  It seems like it would work well to put this between you and a partner and enjoy yourself, but I found that it required more positioning or being held in place than I expected.  I like to have the vibrations right against my clit and if I just laid it there, they weren’t quite reaching it.  Also, I like a lot of pressure on my clit, so pressing the hard plastic down was sometimes uncomfortable with the not quite rounded edges.

Next, girl on top sex with the BonBon.  This was just kind of awkward and un-fun.  I felt like I was focusing too much on where it was positioned and not enough on enjoying it.  It had to be held in place but I also had to be cautious not to grind it against my partner.

Using the BonBon for doggy style sex turned out to be more ideal for me.  It was most comfortable, though it does require you to hold it in place the entire time, and allowed me to rub it on my clit since there was more room for my hand.  I used it during regular vaginal doggy style sex and anal doggy style sex (the biggest hit for me).  I mentioned earlier that there is a situation for all the vibration settings, well here is where that comes in.  I surprised myself when using the BonBon during doggy style anal sex on the highest setting.  I was on vacation and pretty drunk, but it was just the right amount of vibration for that state.  And to top it off, I had my first anal orgasm while using the BonBon, so it’s definitely a favorite for that position.

I also tried the BonBon during a masturbation session.  I found that I usually prefer the medium vibration setting and like to use it for clitoral stimulation with a non-vibrating dildo.  I found that the hard plastic and shape of the BonBon had me using it more for warm up than for orgasms, but it definitely has the vibration strength to finish those who have more sensitive clits.

The BonBon is great for travel because it is so light weight and discreet.  I used the storage bag it came with (dark brown draw string bag) to store it in and packed it in my checked luggage while I was on vacation and had no problems with it.  It’s also splash proof but not waterproof, so don’t submerge it but feel safe washing it.  I suggest soap and warm water for cleaning.

If the BonBon sounds like a vibrator you’d enjoy, you can get it from Good Vibrations, a store that sells sex toys for women. Thanks to Good Vibrations for giving me the opportunity to try the BonBon out!
