I love to try out new and innovative products and especially those that really break the mold. Well, the Cone, is certainly such a device. And, I say device because calling it a sex toy (even though that is its purpose) seems strange. Needless to say, I have been coveting the Cone since it appeared on the European market.
Unfortunately, unique designs like these (such as the We-Vibe [my review]) take a lot of trial and error, and are usually more of a novel idea than a product that is purely practical. Now, I don’t want to dissuade you from wanting to try the Cone as it does have many distinctive qualities and thrills that many people will find exciting, orgasmic and practical.
The Cone is a spherical pyramid shape and is about the size and weight of honeydew melon. It has a huge motor inside that powers 16 speeds / functions with multiple vibration areas that move around it, but center at the peak. Some of the vibrations feel deep at the core, while others climax at the apex. There are gentle undulations, rolling “thunder†vibrations, escalating Va-va-vroooms and even a bass drum roll setting that feels like someone is playing percussion on your womb. Setting 16 is called the Orgasm Button and it osculates between various other settings at maximum power. The speeds /setting are controlled easily with an on | off button (also the Orgasm Button) and a button to cycle through the settings.
So far so good.
But, how the hell do you use this device as a “sex toy� There are several ways you “could†use it and several ways I tried it. It comes with a little pamphlet with illustrations to give you some idea, but no actual directions, so you are left up to your own creativity.
Positions for the Cone
- Sit on it on a couch. Sitting directly on the tip is uncomfortable and can be painful. But wrapping your labia and thighs around it so it fits snug with the clitoris works well. The most comfortable position for me.
- Squat on it. Unless you want a work-out, this is an exhausting position that will leave your thighs quivering before long.
- Lay belly down with the Cone between your thighs. No bad, but I find I can’t breathe on my stomach well, so couldn’t get into it.
- Stick it to the wall with the suction bottom and press yourself backside against it. Comfortable if you like standing while you masturbate. I don’t.
- Stick to the wall lower and go at it doggie style. Hard to maneuver this way to get it to reach where you want it to be.
- Lay back and put the point between your thighs. Comfortable, but doesn’t stimulate well enough as it can’t reach my spots.
- Curl up on your side and rest it between the thighs. Also comfortable, but somewhat fetal. I like to “open up” when I masturbate.
- On your back, hand-held like a normal vibe. Hard on the wrists as it is so heavy and difficult to keep in position.
The Cone can and will stimulate the vulva, clitoris and anus as well as the G-spot indirectly. Clitorally, it doesn’t pinpoint the sensations enough to stimulate that area well. Vaginally, it doesn’t penetrate deep enough to stimulate there. It is good for warming up the vulva and anus area before or during sex with a partner.
The Cone has a lot of power, so should get you off. However, I found the power was too spread out, rather than precise, to really get me worked up. After a certain point, I knew it wasn’t going anywhere no matter what setting I tried, Orgasm Button and all.
One thing I do think this would be good for is persons with physical limitations or disabilities, as it is hands-free. I remember reading about a disabled teenager whose caregiver bought him a vibrator so he could masturbate. Being hands-free the Cone would most likely do this well, especially since you can sit (almost) on it. Also, it is designed for men as well as women, so mild anal stimulation (or scrotum) works too. I think it is also more useful as a stimulation toy for partner sex.
The Cone is an interesting if not orgasmic device and if you like to try new strange things, then check it out at VibeReview. I’m sure there are many more ways to try to use this thing and what feels orgasmic (or not) to me will be different for you.
