apricot creams sex toy reviews | i like fruit & fake dicks

I was looking for a stronger rechargeable clit vibe a couple of months ago and bought this from Lovehoney and I’ve finally got around to putting my review up here!

The Muse comes in a matte black box with a life size photo of it on the front. Inside it contains a charger, a small instruction manual and the Muse itself. It’s made of a super smooth lilac silicone with sturdy ears with a little bit of give to them, and a plastic base that it balances on – it looks a little bit like one of those fancy office desktop toys. The controls are explained in the booklet (it’s eyes are the buttons, how mean!) and it’s eyes and eyebrows light up and change shape depending on the function you’re using – cute right?

This comes with a European plug so you’ll need an international adaptor. I was sent a free converter in my order by Lovehoney but it was the wrong kind, however thanks to their wonderful customer service it was all sorted out in no time! Charging is easy enough, there’s a teeny tiny hole in the back of it which is covered by the silicone. You just push the jack right through this – it does make some alarming crunching noises – and you’re all set. I charged it for two hours initally and I got maybe an hour and twenty minutes or so out of it? One minor gripe, I think I’d prefer it if it had a pull-flap cover instead of the little silicone covered hole, like what most Lelo toys and the LH happy rabbits have, as sometimes I feel like I’m going to damage something inside of it.

These vibrations are SO powerful. I was honestly shocked by how strong they are considering they come from such a cute looking little thing, they blow many of my bigger and more expensive toys out of the water! The three first constant vibration speeds are next to silent under a blanket, I’ve purchased a lot of toys in the past that promise to be ‘whisper quiet’ and been disappointed by the noise level, or, if they are as quiet as promised, the vibrations are lacklustre, but this is not one of those. It’s magical. The pulse settings are a little louder but very enjoyable and you’re unable to hear them through a wall. The ears can be inserted for very, very slim and shallow penetration – this sounds a bit pointless but it gives a really nice sensation, and I like the ears being used on my nipples as well as they’re the perfect shape to really grip ‘em.

The Muse has seven pulse settings and three speeds:

The Muse doesn’t always make me cum because the intensity of the vibrations coupled with the pinpoint stimulation the ears give you is just too much sometimes, I’m not much of a power queen and I generally prefer a more diffused vibration. However, having said that, the (many!) orgasms it has given me have been mind-blowing, full-on, eyes in the back of the head, bit my lip so hard it bled, earth-shattering orgasms, especially when used with an internal toy or during sex. This also makes the toy really great for forced/restricted orgasm play or orgasm denial.

The light up eyes and eyebrows are a nice touch, I think it’s really sweet and it gives it….personality (not something that everyone wants in a toy, granted), but I find the flashing lights from the strip around the base of the Muse on some of the pulse settings a bit distracting and not great if you have a headache – if you’re sensitive to flashing lights you might want to consider that while buying this. They are quite intense and seem to get more…flashy?…on the higher settings.

Unfortunately this has been discontinued over at Lovehoney, which is a real shame for UK customers as it really is one of the most powerful vibrators I’ve ever felt, but it’s still available overseas for $59.99 at Shevibe, who also offer it in black and pink!
