Couples. Sex toys. Couples and Sex toys! I really like that a lot more couples are using sex toys these days. I know a lot of people that still think a vibrator is supposed to be a substitute for “the real thing” – but I highly disagree. Sex toys are meant for pleasure, whether used solo or with a lover. They are meant to make a partner feel inadequate – it’s not sex toys vs. genitalia. It’s sex toys + genitalia. There are people who doesn’t seem to “get” the concept, sadly, but for those who do, it’s an exciting thing. I was recently introduced to a cool new couples vibe that just debuted on the sex toy market called Fixsation. With the new found demand for couples toys, what makes this toy so unique? Well, it’s not a penetrative sex toy. It’s not a dual stimulator. It’s a strap-on clit vibe that works in tandem with penetrative sex! Penetrative sex is awesome, right, so why add a vibrator? Why not! A lot of women like added clitoral stimulation during vaginal sex, and theres no shame in that, considering the clit is a larger sex organ than it seems. The clit and the inner legs of the clit extend through to the vagina, so when stimulated along with thrusting, it can make for a fantastically yummy orgasm. A large number of women don’t climax during vaginal sex, which to me, is pretty much unacceptable. If something doesn’t work for you during penetrative sex, change it, or add something to the deed that does work for you. So if clitoral stimulation works for you, add the Fixsation! Hold up though, let me finish my review first!

So how does the product work? Well, the Fixsation Couples Vibrator, consists of two parts. The vibrator, and the panty companion. The little clit vibe is discreet and fits in the palm of your hand, it’s made of body-safe ABS plastic and a smooth PU coating. Both phthalates free, and water-based lubricant compatible. It requires no batteries, and is fully rechargeable. It comes with user instructions as well as a storage pouch and charger. It can be cleaned with toy cleaner, anti-bacterial soap and water, or wiped down with a solution of 90% water to 10% alcohol. It’s water resistant and features a charging port on the toy that has a PU plug to cover the charger port when not being charged. The crotch-less panty companion is made of a black stretch lacy material thats both polyester and nylon, and it comes in sizes S-XXL which fits up to a size 20 dress size. It offers a nice stretch to it, so it would probably fit a little larger as well. The panty companion consists of a waistband, and nylon straps (similar to a bra strap) that hang from the companion a little like a garterbelt. It can be hand washed between uses with a mild detergent. The nylon straps have a plastic clasp attached at the top when the strap meets the panty companion. You can undo the strap from the clasp (similar to a plastic bra clasp) and then string the vibrator through on each side. The clit vibe is rounded and slightly raised upward where it has a small ribbed area, the back of the toy is smooth with small ribs also (the ribs on top can offer the male added stimulation while the ribs on the back can add to the clitoral stimulation), with the charging port covered by the charging plug is on the bottom while the top of the vibe is smooth. The sides of the vibe features a groove that is is open in the middle and closed near the top and bottom, this creates a slidable path for the nylon strap to lace through. Once the straps are laced through on both sides, you can clasp the end of the strap back onto the panty companion. This secures the vibrator to the companion, and then you can adjust where the vibe sits on your vulva/clit.

The toy is pretty cute, pretty discreet, it’s not a huge vibrator thats going to be nudging in your way while you try and have sex. The toy is small enough ti sit against your clit, and the panty companion straps make it easy to adjust the toy to sit on your clit just where you want it. Since not all womens vulvas and clits are shaped the same, this allows for you to sit the vibrator against your clit, leaving your vaginal opening uncovered and ready for penetration. The toy features an easy to use button that turns the toy on, off, and allows you to browse through the different vibration settings. The button features an LED light that indicates the toy in use as you press the button. The button is seamless and is easy to press. The toy has three speeds that range from low to moderate. The toy vibrates very very quietly, which is a plus! To browse through the modes just press the button. To turn the toy off, press and hold for a few seconds. The vibrations are nice, not powerhouse strong, but not too wimpy. The vibration intensity is not meant to get you off alone…this is a couples vibe. It’s an add on to partner sex, which means the people at Fixsation want you to enjoy your partner and get off with them not to get off from the toy. The toy is only an added sensation to enhance the sensation of penetration. The vibration is not supposed to be distracting, it’s not supposed to be the main course of sex, just a tasty side dish to the meal That being said, the vibrations are still very nice as an add-on. I like the discreet design of the panty companion and the vibe, as it’s even more discreet than a pair of crotchless panties, and even more comfortable. You could use this toy in a variety of positions, including girl on top, doggy style, and even missionary. The detailed ribs on the front of the Fixsation can add stimulation to the man when he’s on top as well, so that your partner can feel vibration also.

This couples toy is cute! It’s the first strap-on clit vibe that I’ve seen thats specifically marketed for couples. The design is discreet, lightweight, and easy to use. The toy can vibrate up to 2 hours each time it’s fully charged, the slightly contoured body of the toy is meant to fit a woman’s body, and the toy also comes with a 1 year warranty. If you have a larger/fuller outer labia, your clit might be pushed back further, but as your legs are spread for penetration I would think you could still situate the toy against your clit. I also like that the toy isn’t super obvious. You could keep it in your dresser drawer and it wouldn’t’ call much attention to it. The panty companion is lightweight and breathable, and only covers a band at your waist. I was worried that the panty companion would be distracting or look like panties during sex, but it’s very discreet and takes up less room than a garter belt even would. The vibrations are quiet, which means you could definitely use this even with guests staying at your house in another room. It’s also discreet enough that you could wear it under a skirt or dress if you wanted to use it solo as a pair of vibrating undies or even wear it out on a date with your partner so that after a fun night out you can have an impromptu quickie without having to fluster about putting the toy on before getting down and dirty. Fixsation also created a Lingerie Babydoll companion (sold separately) to wear with the panty companion/vibe to spice things up! You can get the Fixsation Couples Vibe and Panty for $99 at MyFixSation.com, and they also have a Fixsation bundle that lets you add on the cute lingerie babydoll (sizes XS-2XL) top for $127 (You get the panty, vibe, and lingerie top). Such a cute toy, this would make a fun couples gift for the upcoming holidays as well. For more info, or to order, check out MyFixSation.com.
