Boom Olive Rechargeable Vibrator
Can I interest you in ashort, weaker versionof theLelo Mona? Mona-Lite! Wait, no. That doesn’t sell it. Hmmm. Would Fashion Life Mag like to own a vibrator that speaks to your love of posh-looking car interiors with their pale no-kids-allowed leather seats and faux (or maybe not) wood accents? That’s a thing, right? There’s folks out there that perked up at that? Yes! We’re gonna go with that!!Boom Olive, and therest of the Boom line, appealed to my “gotta own something that looks unique†side. Sadly some of the Boom models have barely any wood trim – just the button. These aren’t as fun to look at.
Boom. I dunno, man, I dunno. I don’t know what it means. I know who they are though – one of the many, many sub brands ofShots Mediaand I think they’re now owned by Evolved Novelties? I took one look at Shots and what they have under “toys†and I don’t even know what the fuck I’m seeing, but that’s not part of this review. I feel like I just looked behind the curtain and shouldn’t have. MOVING ON!
I had two really good reasons for wanting to review theBoom Olive:
Both good reasons. But something happened when I got the Boom Olive in my hand….I realized I’d forgotten to read the specs. It’s SHORT. Like, way too short for my T-rex arms. Some of you are gonna like this aspect. Some of you don’t want a longer vibrator, and if that’s you – you’re in luck. Olive has some decent girth for being so short. It’s got an interesting curve like someone took their fimo-clay model and just bent it at that point right above the handle. A nice 45-ish degree angle crook. Seriously, it’s really similar to Mona’s crook.
Before we go further, I’m gonna tell you who is going to consider this vibe, because this isn’t for everyone. You are:
Alright so the vibrations – this is definitely one for people who like patterns. While there’s only three vibration intensity settings, there’s a whopping seven different patterns. But the vibrations…they’re not bad! I’d put them firmly in the middle of buzzy and rumbly – they’re not rumbly, but they’re not buzzy. It took me awhile but I was able to orgasm clitorally with this. The vibrations don’t dampen too much during insertion, either! They feel about on par with theOVO K2rabbit, so will be equal to most insertable battery-powered OVO vibes (but not their rechargeables). The vibrations seem to be also on par with the larger Picobong vibes, like theMoka. The button is easy to use – press and hold one end to power (on) and press the other to increase the speeds or cycle through the patterns. The motor is in the tip (hence why it’s decent as an external vibe). The silicone is silky, similar to OVO and LELO and Je Joue. It’s USB rechargeable, so it’s universal which I’m starting to appreciate more. It’s also water-resistant, but not waterproof. No submerging, but you could likely get away with using it in the shower, just not while you’re under the stream. Noise-wise, Boom Olive is also pretty quiet. In fact I think it’s slightly more quiet than the Picobong Moka. I’m actually impressed by the noise level here.
The seam between the faux wood accents and silicone is annoying and gonna cause some issues, but at least with the Olive it’s only on the handle.Some modelswill have the wood accent on the insertable part and that is going to make for some difficult cleaning. The white silicone also can absorb dye from ABS plastic. I accidentally stored this in the same “to be reviewed†box as the hot pinkWomanizer W500and now there are two faint lines of pink on the Olive where it touched the Womanizer, not unlike a pregnancy stick. So the white silicone needs to be kept in storage bag….and they didn’t give you one.
I can’t really count the short length and moderate vibrations as a “not so goodâ€, because I already warned you about that. It is what it is, and maybe for some this length and these moderate vibrations are a good thing. If it’s a flaw to you, well, okay, it is to me too. But thankfully not everyone is like me!All in all this really is a decent little vibe and I think that some other styles in this line hold great promise, while othersjust confuse meon their intended use. I like that most of these are under $50; I’m not sure why the Olive is $60 since it is so short, like theMikiwhile the traditional-lengthElmis $45. I hope it’s not because Olive has the best motor; but when I can find out if there’s motor differences/similarities between the models, I’ll let you know.
Shevibe provided me with theBoom Olivein exchange for my always-honest review. Thank you SheVibe!
I’m a weirdo who likes to hold my Mona at the middle of the silicone part when I’m using it externally (it helps me get more controlled pressure), so the shape of this toy looks really exciting to me!
I actually found myself holding it the same way for external stim!
