A few weekends ago I was hanging out with one of my girlfriends, when she said to me:
“Simone, I bet a lot of people send you weird stuff because of your blog”
“Define weird”
Then she brought up the photo of the Sqweel 2 that I posted on Instagram recently.
“Well, I’d say that thing that looks like wheel of tongues is definitely on the borderline”
I then went on to explain that the The Sqweel 2, “the world’s best selling oral sex toy” is actually kind of awesome. The nice people over at Lovehoney sent me a Sqweel 2 a few weeks ago (thank you!), so I’m really excited to finally give you the skinny on what this toy is all about.
It’s no secret that I’m a fan of oral sex. When a guy goes down on me, it’s pretty much a guarantee that I’ll get off. I only wish I could say the same about good old fashioned penis in vagina sex, but alas, I can’t. So, for those of you who like me and Kelly Rowland “like our kisses down low” the Sqweel 2 is made with you mind.
Sqweel 2 features a wheel with 10 lapping silicone tongues and an exciting ‘flicker’ mode for amazing clitoral stimulation and powerful orgasms. When you turn the toy on using the one touch button on the side, the wheel rotates, allowing the tongues to stimulate your clitoris & do their job! If you want to see what the toy looks like in motion, I suggest watching this short video.
The tongues are made of silky, soft body safe silicone which has the same velvety texture as real skin. To clean the toy, simply press the unlock button on the side of the toy, remove the wheel and clean it with warm soap & water or antibacterial toy cleaner.
The most important thing to understand about the Sqweel 2 is that it’s a completely different sensation than your usual vibrator. Instead of relying on strong vibrations to get you off, it uses friction and flickering motions, much like a real tongue. Although it doesn’t feel exactly like real oral sex – the “tongues” are bit firmer than a real tongue – it definitely feels more like a finger or a tongue than a vibrator. The Sqweel is completely different from any sex toy that I have ever used before, so it took a while to get used to at first. However, once I did, I was able to just lay back and enjoy the ride – which I very much did!
It could just be that I’ve been feeling a pretty sexually frustrated lately (and could probably have an orgasm just by standing next to a washing machine) but the Sqweel got me off really, really good. Within less than a minute of turning the thing on I was having a pretty amazing orgasm…which then lead to several more before I had to shakily peel myself from the bed to catch my breath.
I enjoy the Sqweel because it is so different from any of the other sex toys I own and it works, for me. Because the toy relies on a touching/flickering sensation this is a great option for someone who is looking to experiment with sex toys that don’t involve intense vibrations. Personally I enjoyed the more intense speeds on this toy, however if you have a super sensitive clit you may find the slowest speed is more your pace.
Confession time: I actually own the previous incarnation of this toy “The Sqweel 1.” Having tried both toys, I really like the improvements they made with the Sqweel 2. Not only is it aesthetically a nicer looking toy, the tongues are made of a nicer material and they’ve added fun “flicker and “reverse” modes which the previous version did not have.
Here’s another photo so that you can get an idea of the scale of the toy. It’s roughly the height on a smartphone and easily fits in your hand.
The only thing I don’t really like about the Sqweel 2 is that it is loud, which is kind of a problem when you’re trying to be discreet about the fact that you have something that looks like a bunch of alien tongues rotating between your legs. If I were to redesign this toy, I’d also make the handle and controls more ergonomic. Trying to change the speed of the toy while you’re using the toy is slightly awkward. Lastly, I should mention that it takes 3 AAA batteries. This isn’t a big deal, however I’d love it if Lovehoney came out with a rechargeable version!
Because Joe the Intern has been begging me all week “Let me blog something! Pleeeeeaaaase!!!”, I thought I’d let him share his thoughts on the Sqweel from a man’s perspective.
Even though the Sqweel 2 looks a bit like a miniature shoe-shine meets alien tongue machine, I still give it the thumbs up. Not only does it get the job done, there’s nothing else like it which makes it an interesting toy to add to your collection.
Has anyone else tried this toy? What did you think?
The Sqweel 2 was provided to me free of charge by Lovehoney in exchange for my honest review of the product. All opinions are my own because that’s how I roll.
