Sh! sex toy review: the Finger Tickler
June 2nd, 2009
The finger tickler is a cute little vibrator, writes Rosie Kirk. Opinions were divided in the Lesbilicious office whether it looked like a pink slug or a small purple whale carrying a torpedo, but we could all agree on one thing: it is tiny. So tiny, in fact, that we had to put a 50p coin in the picture to get the scale across properly.
But size isn’t everything of course, not even in the sex toy world. And it was my privilege and honour to discover what this vibe had other than amphibious good looks.
The finger tickler idea is simple: turn your ordinary pleasure-seeking finger into a supercharged, turbo-powered pleasure-seeking finger. A great idea, but the first problem for me was getting in the damn thing.
My fingers are pretty skinny – more chipolata than bratwrust on the sausage scale – but it was still a bit of a squeeze. Having said that, the Finger Tickler is made of lovely soft, stretchy silicone, so unless you have incredibly fat fingers you’ll manage (just remember to give yourself regular breaks to get the circulation back).
Once I got the hang of it, I loved the Finger Tickler. It’s great not to have to hold a big bulky vibe – you just run your hand over your (or someone else’s body) as you normally would, and reap that magic buzzing power. Now I know how it feels to be a cyborg.
Other than helping me to indulge in some pretty weird sci-fi fantasies, the other great thing about the Finger Tickler is how noisy it isn’t – I have another vibrator which sounds like a tractor. This one, however, could be used at the dinner table, on the bus or in church and no-one would know.
If there’s one complaint, it’s that the Finger Tickler isn’t the most powerful of buzzers. It’ll get you to where you need to be, but you might find yourself having to do a bit more mental/physical work than with a bigger machine.
The Finger Tickler has a tiny price as well as a tiny size, and while it would suit pretty much everyone, I can see it being the perfect beginner toy for ladies who have had enough of taking matters into their own hands. Or geeks looking to upgrade their digits.
