In A Nutshell: In the world of anal probes, anal beads and anal vibrators, there lies one product that tries to do it all – and comes very close to perfect. That product is the Silicone Flexi-Power Rod

What’s Awesome? Seven really fun vibration settings making use of three potent vibration levels, all powering an “egg on flexi stick” style vibrator that features an “anal bead” like texture and really true flexability.

What’s Not So Awesome? It doesn’t HOLD the shapes its flexed into, so really, it’s a big long straight rod that can adapt well to contours. And for such a potentially deeply probing anal toy, it’s an ethical no-no in my book to call silicone composite “Silicone”.

Rating:

So, yes, it’s flexible. Surprisingly so! And strong – my god. Impressive, but then perhaps to be expected – it does take 3 AA batteries.

But…while I do feel this is a good toy, I didn’t like it. As an anal vibe, it was, well, just long and skinny. Not really something I’d reach for on any given masturbation session. And while it flexes, it doesn’t hold onto the shapes its flexed into, making it, frankly, unwieldy if not useless as a clit vibe, or a vaginal vibe. Finally and most significantly, the material coating the vibrator is a silicone composite, not silicone, and is thus porous and cannot be sanitized effectively – meaning, it’s kind of a one person butt toy UNLESS you use a condom with it. Even then (and I apologize for being graphic), a vibrator this long is likely to encounter shit during anal play. I knew this, so tried it out vaginally before I started exploring its potential for anal play…but once I’d gone anal with it, I was not at all interested in using it vaginally without a good boil, despite the fact that I used condoms on it. Maybe that’s just me, but, well, preference is preference.

All that said, and to be fair, this really is more of a boys toy. I could see this being a great purchase for a man looking to continue with his introductory P-spot explorations, or one looking to just plain *find* his P-spot. It can be inserted to any depth – most likely, to one of the spots between beads, and then bent forward for easy access to the controls, or backwards to angle the vibration center forwards if so desired. Generally, however, it is just plain stick straight, and not necessarily the best tool for actually vibrating the P-spot once it’s found. As a small caveat to that, this toy is actually an exceptional toy to use on someone else, because its tendency to be straight meshes with the position a person would be in when using this on someone else, and the flexibility would make adjustments simple.
