I first posted this review on my other blog and have since done a side by side comparison. The Hitachi is still more powerful, but less nuanced. The Cone may not be quite as intense a vibration, but the variety of vibrations make up for it. I use the HItachi when I want to come and don't have a lot of time. It's efficent and in a way the design of it shows it. It's a power tool, there to do the job and it does it... quickly. It also makes me squirt. It doesn't mess around. The Cone is seductive, it teases, it's pink and sculptural in a minimalist way. It packs a big punch in a pretty package. The Hitachi is a "fucking take me now!" vibrator. The Cone is a "lay me down by the fire, baby" vibrator.
The original review:
The Cone I love this thing! It's right up there with the Hitachi. Is it worth $130? I think so.
It tooks some experimentation to figure out which position worked better. Lying on it face down ("The Clitimulator") is the most comfortable, for me so far. But, "The Wall" is pretty fun. It's totally hands free, there are no cords and the controls are just two little buttons that are easy to access. And if you're like me and like my porn in the written form, that makes life so much easier.
It's also simple. There are no bells and whistles. I never liked the Rabbit or the Dolphin or those vibes that wiggle around when it's in your cunt and tickles your ass and thumps on your clit and looks like an animal... they're too complicated. I don't need a whole song and dance, just do the damn job!
It has 16 different settings that range from a regular vibration to various pulsations, sort of like a pulsing showerhead. It even includes a "straight to orgasm" button in case you're short on time!
I'm really anxious to try it out during sex (with another person, I mean). See "The Cone Dog". Also, since you're basically humping and grinding on this thing, I imagine watching someone on it would be pretty damn hot.
And because I care about these things, it looks cool.
The only drawback is (like so many vibes) is that the fucker is LOUD. While trying out one of the pulsing settings it sounded like there was a disco in my mattress! Also, I don't think it's so great if you are on your back. It's not really meant to be held, it needs to be resting on a surface.
I have a lot more experimenting to do and I hear there are some attachments in the works.
