I know it’s not a Friday, but there are some really good Lovehoney sex toy deals floating around at the moment (particularly in relation to LELO products) and I haven’t done a Freebies and Discounts post for quite a few weeks – naughty me! Ergo, I thought it prudent to let you all know about them before they disappear into the ether. As many of you are aware, I’ve shifted countries recently so, going forwards, I’m going to do my best to keep the various parts of the globe covered with regard to sex toy bargains. Geography shouldn’t impact your ability to obtain good toy discounts, in my opinion.

Until midnight on Friday 16 May, Britain’s online sex toy giant is giving away a free Swoon waterproof vibrator with all purchases of £10.00 or more. And you get free delivery, too.

What we used: Silver Swan vibrator
From: Swan
Price: from £89.95 (varies by retailer)
Material(s): Phthalate-free seamless silicone
Reviewer: The Dairy Maid

The Dairy Maid doesn’t usually go in for pink things; she’s not really a girly-girl. But then she met the Silver Swan vibrator. And, well … I think it’s safe to say she really (really) liked it.

First impressions

The packaging

Very well packaged. There’s a smart, rectangular outer box with an accurate picture of the product on the front that gives the Silver Swan a high quality, contemporary feel and within, a hardened cardboard case with a magnetic closure. Once opened, this reveals a black card insert containing a comprehensive instruction booklet that lifts to reveal the vibrator itself, a satin carry pouch, and a multi-plug adaptor for recharging.

All in all, the packaging gives the impression of an expensive, high-end product – so far, so good!

The vibrator
The Silver Swan vibrator is pink – you’ll know from my previous vibrator review that that’s not normally my favourite colour – but it’s a dark rose (so not garish) and has a matt texture. The vibrator has a 100% silicone body, which feels smooth with none of the tacky, almost sticky feel I have experienced with cheaper products. It is also waterproof and phthalate-free.

The two control buttons are integral within the body of the vibrator and are easy to operate without feeling conspicuous.

Shape-wise, the Silver Swan is a rabbit-type vibrator in that it provides both a penetrative shaft and a clitoral stimulator – both of which operate with independent motors, each with their own controls.

How to use it

The longer arm is inserted into the vagina while the shorter one rests between your labia and over your clitoris. You set the vibration setting for each arm with the two raised controls by pressing and holding until the desired vibration level is reached. Each arm has a generously curved bump, making it easy to reach your G-Spot area internally and provide effortless pressure to your clitoris.

The controls are beautifully unfussy and easy to manipulate during play. You can change the vibration settings by holding down on the buttons and releasing them to go up or down in intensity, then switch off with a quick click.

The Silver Swan also has a travel lock, which you activate by holding both buttons down until the little lights go off.

Why I liked it

It’s visually really attractive and feels sleek and sensuous – and this makes you want to play with it without feeling embarrassed. The Silver Swan is a ‘grown-up’, classy sex toy!

The design is very intuitive and body friendly; it felt comfortable when inserted and the curves fit snugly in all the right places. The dual vibrations were incredibly powerful, too, and enabled me to effortlessly control my climax without the distraction of fiddly controls. At maximum power the vibrator was almost unbearable as the motors were so strong – achieved by PowerBullet technology according to the supplied info.!

My partner was really impressed and enjoyed trying it out – he gave it 10/10 for flexibility and ease of use and we found using it together very erotic and sensual. It is certainly the first vibrator I have tried that I haven’t felt awkward using in front of him.

After play it is very easy to clean and being seam-free it’s far more hygienic overall.

The Silver Swan also has a rechargeable, environmentally-friendly lithium ion battery, which can be fully charged within three hours (with a little light that indicates when it’s locked and loaded). This should enable the product to be used for years. In fact, the Silver Swan has a one-year limited warranty and a ten-year guarantee, which I think is amazing.

What I didn’t like

It’s just about perfect in every way but if I was being picky I would have liked a vibe pattern rather than just the options of faster and slower.

Would I recommend it?

Absolutely! It looks, feels and performs like a premium product and I can’t imagine that anyone wanting a decent-quality vibrator would be disappointed, whether buying it for themselves or (hopefully!) receiving it as a gift.

This toy is also flexible enough to accommodate any stretching that needs to happen to reach yummy spots or apply extra pressure. The Silver Swan is so well curved in all the right places that handling it and using the controls during play is intuitive and doesn’t once become a distraction. (I loved the separate motors and chose a low rumble for the shaft and a faster, more powerful setting for my clit.)

All the extra issues I usually find manufacturers stumbling with, the Silver Swan handles with as much understated aplomb as it does everything else.

A premium toy that should give you premium, environmentally-friendly pleasure for years.

Tickle your fancy? You can buy the Silver Swan vibrator from the following retailers:

• Ann Summers
• Simply Pleasure
• Pulse and Cocktails

*Please note that the Silver Swan vibrator was provided by Swan Vibes, free of charge, in exchange for a fair and impartial review.
