JimmyJane Form 2

*

The JimmyJane Form 2 is a revolutionary toy.  For anyone who has tried a rabbit and found the shaft of the toy to be pleasing, but the ears to be severely lacking, this little power house makes up for all the useless ears.  The Form 2 is a multispeed, rechargeable, waterproof, quite, travel friendly go getter.  Made out of medical grade silicone so you can sterilize it in a boiling bath for 3 minutes, place it in the top rack of your dishwasher, or with soap and water.  This toy is perfect for solo or couples play.  The "ears" on this beast don't stop when they touch the body like most rabbits since each "ear" has it's own motor.  Each "ear" is flexible enough to get the perfect angle or you can pinch them together for added sensation.  The Form 2 comes in at 3 inches long and 1 7/8 inches in diameter at the wides part.  It's rather weighty, so don't drop it on your foot.

The Form 2 offers a wide verity of speeds and pulsations.  As you can see in the pictures there is a plus and minus button and a button that has a wave line.  It might not seem like this can offer that many variations, but it does.  The wave button cycles through the four patters and the plus and minus buttons increase or decrease the level of intensity by five levels.  You can remain on the same pattern and get five levels of intensity.  If the Form 2 doesn't make your toes curl then I want to know why because it gets me every time.  Another thing that gets me is that whatever pattern you level it on when you shut it off is the same one when you turn it on.  I love that feature.  Nothing is worse than having to remember what pattern is your favorite and having to cycle through every single one to figure it out; but since this vibrator only has four, it's not so difficult to remember.  To turn it on all you do is press the plus button and to turn it off you press the minus until is shuts off.  Now an awesome feature that most JimmyJane toys have is the travel shut off.  By holding down the wave and plus button together it locks the toy so that it wont be buzzing up a storm in your luggage.  To unlock all you have to do is hold down the wave and plus button and it will start right up.

Also, the creative genius' of JimmyJane made all their toys for full body contact.  Meaning that you can do just about anything imaginable with this toy and it should be fine.  On second thought, perhaps you should use some restraint and reason so you don't upset the integrity of the toy, but I find it to be a rather sturdy fellow.  I've dropped it on carpet and in the shower and it's never preformed less than when I first got it.  The "ears" are very durable and you should have no fears when using them.  Just don't make the "ears" do the splits or anything but you can use small movements to manipulate them.  It is meant for external stimulation only and it is perfect for stimulating the clitoris and surrounding area, to the nipples and the rest of the body.  You might also notice when you get your own Form 2 that there is a seam.  When you run your fingers over it you can feel it, but the moment you start to use it, you'll never know it's there.

When I won it from a JimmyJane facebook page giveaway and I could hardly wait to get it in my hands.  When I got the Form 2, I was so giddy.  I figured it had to be a good item because if you bought it out right from JimmyJane it was $145.  When I opened the box I found that I got the slate color (there is also a pink) and I was relieved.  While I do own pink toys, I would rather not because bright pink is my least favorite color.  Anyway, it comes with an instruction manual, the charging base, the charge cord and the Form 2.  If your like me, you'll find that over time the instructions get lost or thrown out.  So I'm going from memory on this part, but in time that's another thing that gets lost.

When I got the Form 2 out and everything set up, I found that there was no juice in the toy at all.  Sometimes there's still a little charge in them from manufacturing, but this one was d-e-a-d.  If that's the case (and you'll need to charge it anyway) all you need to do is place the toy in the charging base and plug it into an outlet.  That's it!  It might take a few times but when the connection is made for charging the light will be steady and not blinking.  If it keeps blinking, line up the wave button with the indent on the base.  The light should go solid.  For the first charge, keep it on the base for at least 2 hours.  After your first charge, you should have 7 hours (give or take) of play time.  Now here's how to know what kind of charge you have:

• 3 blinks - high charge
• 2 blinks - medium charge
• 1 blink - low charge
• 4 sluggish blinks - zero charge (meaning "charge me now!")

If you have the horrible timing and the battery starts dieing when your using it(and I have had this happen many, many times), the toy will shut itself off and blink 4 times.  I know that this is an orgasmic letdown from experience, so keep up of the charge so this doesn't happen to you.  Those 4 blinks will seem like they're mocking you if you don't.  Don't become a victim of zero charge!  Ah,before I forget to mention it, when you finish cleaning your toy, make sure to completely dry it off (with a lint free cloth to keep down on clingy fuzz) because if you put the toy directly into the base while it's still wet, it can corrode the charging connectors.  I've never heard of someone having that problem, but please don't become that person I giggle at because you didn't follow directions.

Another wonderful thing about the charging process is that since you put it in a charging base, you don't have to insert any plugs directly into the toy.  This is wonderful for those who keep up on the cleanliness of your toys.  By the way, you should never not clean your toys.  Ew.  That's beside the point.  What I'm trying to say is that it's nice not having a little opening to collect fluids that can possibly damage the toy.  Phew!  Also remember that since the Form 2 is made of silicone that you should use water based lubricants so that you don't damage the toy in the long run.

Since this toy is so fantastic, I really don't care about the noise level, but for you guys I'll give you a quick run down.  On any pattern on low you can barely hear it.  The higher you go on any pattern the noise level increased (naturally), but on some levels it can be louder than others.  I think that when it's on it's highest setting you can still hear if from under covers, but I'm not sure if you can hear it through a closed door.  It's not a high pitched buzz by any means, but you can conduct your own in home experiment should you get one. 

When it comes down to it, the Form 2 is by far my favorite toy.  You get the power of a large toy in the palm of your hand.

JimmyJane Little Chroma

Around this time last year JimmyJane sponsored a giveaway on their Facebook page.  In the end I walked away with about $1000 worth of prizes.  That was because I stalked their Facebook page everyday from the time the contest started to the end of Christmas.  It was a very merry Christmas for me that year!

The first thing I won was the Little Chroma in red.  The Little Chroma is 5 1/4 inches long and has a diameter of 5/8 inches.  With the insertable length is 4 3/4 inches, you can get enough penetration to feel some good vibrations.  This baby is a waterproof, one speed, metal menace.  Just don't let it's size fool you!  All vibrations are almost completely silent and it comes with JimmyJane's patented replaceable motor and one complementary AA battery.  It's the perfect travel partner for anyone who is shy about traveling with sex toys and even for those who aren't shy.  JimmyJane has a three year limited warranty for those who register their toy through the JimmyJane website.  I strongly suggest registering your toys because anything can happen and it's better to be covered than not.  While this is what everyone wants (maybe), the price not so much.  At $125 you might find that the Little Chroma is not for you.  If you can manage to spare the money, you won't regret it.

Now that I think I covered all the basics I'll get into how much I do and don't like the Little Chroma.  While it was free and I'm sure would have bought one for myself, the product is very, very basic.  I love that the body of the vibrator is made from metal.  This would be a great addition for anyone who loves temperature play.  If not, then you should know that like most metal objects that are kept near the body, the metal will heat up naturally or cool down naturally if kept away from the body.  To put it simply, there really isn't a way to escape the temperature difference, but you don't have to take it to extremes if you don't want to.  Another plus to the Little Chroma being that it's made of metal and that it can be completely sterilized by a quick boiling bath, 10% bleach solution, being on the top rack of the dishwasher, or washed with soap and water.  For any form of cleaning, remove the motor and battery.  However, I do dislike that the texture on the cap (you can see it in the picture above).  If you use or have a lot of lubricant (synthetic or natural), it can build up in the creases if the texture.  If all of the cleaning methods don't remove any of the build up, using a q-tip is the best way to get rid of it.  I know it's there to help you grip the cap and turn it more easily, but I find that when cleaning it's a nuisance  .Another plus I forgot to mention is that you can use water, oil or silicone based lubricants since the toy is made out of metal.

When it comes to the motor and battery, there is only one order in which they can go in.  This diagram is from the JimmyJane website where they sell the motors for $20.  The motor fits all of their cylindrical metal toys.  So if you have a Little Planetarium Eternity ($3,500), Little Steel ($325), or Ultimate Member Limited ($278) it fits just the same as it would in the Little Chroma.  The picture above clearly shows the order and the position in which the motor and battery are placed.  Now when the toy is not in use, you should have the motor and the battery out of the toy.  When you put them both back in to use it, be aware that there is no on/off switch.  When you screw the cap to the body of the toy is connects to the battery and motor, instantly causing vibrations.  If you are swift and sure, you can screw the cap on with minimal noise.  If your fumble a little, the vibrations make a rather loud noise before the cap is completely tight.  When the Little Chroma is complete with motor, battery and tightly screwed cap, there is light humming sound.  The rubber ring at the end of the cap makes the vibrator waterproof and I'm fairly certain it acts as a sound buffer, too.

As a side note, when ever you are finished with the Little Chroma and you remove the cap and open the housing to the air, you will smell an odd odor that you normally don't smell when using a sex toy.  It's a mechanical and slightly smoky smell, but don't worry!  The smell is from the motor working.  You also might find that when you remove the motor, that the motor is warm or ever so slightly hot to the touch.  Again don't worry.  This is a normal occurrence because it is a small working motor.  If you do find that it starts functioning out of the ordinary, contact JimmyJane and ask them if what you ear, smell or feel is normal.  If it comes down to it, buy a replacement motor.  Ultimately when a working part isn't doing what it's designed to do, you will have changes in vibrations and sound, so keep up on the integrity of your toy for your own sake.

Since sound is one of the #1 concerns when scouting out new toys, you will also be concerned about vibrations.  The Little Chroma is a once speed only with no twist dial.  The moment all the inner counterparts meet, it's starts vibrating.  The vibrations themselves are very strong and if you ever owned or heard a Sonicare toothbrush you'll get the idea of the pitch.  It's not very loud or high pitched, just enough to know that your using something that "hums".  Understand that the vibrations are stronger at the tip of the toy verses the end because the motor is placed at the tip.  If you want full on, strong vibrations, you can use the tip of the toy.  If you want something less direct, using the body of the toy give you a larger surface area.

I really do love this toy.  It's very versatile.  This can be used for normal penetration as well as g-spot stimulation.  Since the g-spot is only about three inches inside the body, the Little Chroma has not trouble reaching it.  It can be used for external stimulation like the clitoris or if your partner is blind folded you can use it to tickle their skin.  The Little Chroma is also small enough that you can use during sex.  As for anal sex, be careful.  There is no hold or flared base to keep this from disappearing inside the body.  There is a small drill hold on the cap that you can tread a catch string on, but if you're not confident using the Little Chroma for anal, don't do it.  Feel comfortable about what your doing because it makes you feel good and don't feel guilty if it's something you don't want. 

Since December 2010, JimmyJane has upped their game.  They have just recently added new products like chocolate, masturbation sleeves for men, lubes from Good Clean Love and Blossom Organics (I will review some Blossom products), condoms by Sir Richard, sexy undies, and media (movies and books).  They have also started carrying new pleasure sets for those who want more bang for their buck.  Since they are a luxury and premium sex toy company, the prices will be higher than that of other companies, but I think it is so worth it.
