B Swish BCurious Waterproof Massager


The BCurious waterproof massager is 10cm long, 4cm wide and looks a bit like a shoehorn. It has a two-button panel, 'On' and 'Cycle through' which lights up with a pretty blue light. It is a part of the luxury vibrator range by the B Swish company, promising 7 functions, waterproof antics and to contour perfectly to my body. I purchased this for $98.95, which is pretty steep for such a small toy, but you can purchase it online here for $66.30. The reason for the price is due to the rechargeable battery, saving you money in the long run (and saving heaps of batteries from a landfill). It comes in a classy-looking black and purple box with its own bag and recharger, and the recharger is one of those hassle-free ones that doesn't take up two spaces on a motherboard. Bonus!
The BCurious initially needs a full charge, which takes about 2 hours. It also promises 2 hours of continuous use, with a 60 day standby on the battery charge.
Initially holding the BCurious, I can't help but notice the quality of the surface material. This toy is made from PC plastics and I would describe it as feeling like 'velvety' plastic. It doesn't have the cold quality of some plastic toys. The second thing I noticed about the BCurious is that I had no idea how to hold it. It is a really weird shape, which may be alienating to those used to traditional phallic vibrators. Also, what exactly is it for? G-spot, prostate, clitoral, perineal?

The BCurious is designed to specifically cup the feminine contours; the pointed tip rests just under the clit while the inner labia also receives vibrations from the sides of the massager, although the BCurious seems to be a multi-fit massager, fitting in the contours of the neck, shoulder, calf and perineum. For that reason, it is a bit uni-sex and can be a good toy for couples during foreplay. You can hold it a number of different ways, but the most natural-feeling way for me was to have my index and middle fingers towards the pointed end with my thumb along the side, similar to holding a mouse. This is a toy designed for stimulation rather than insertion, so you need to have a comfortable hand position for continuous use.

The BCurious would have been a better toy if it was not for the location of the buttons. This is a smaller-scale massager and I found it difficult to hold and use properly without accidentally turning it off or changing to another function, something which can be very frustrating. Also, during use, the entire toy can become covered with lubricant, making it hard to hold, let alone use with any particular style. I would not recommend using during sex in the shower, simply for the water wasted. The bath is another matter though, and this is a vibrator that can handle being fully immersed as long as the recharge tab is flush against the side of the toy.

I like the feel of the toy, and the vibrating functions work well for me. There is a choice of low, medium and high, and several pulse combinations. They may not be powerful enough for some, but for the size of the toy they are strong, and quiet! I would recommend this vibrator when discretion is needed. The size of toy also makes it seem perfect for travel, but pack your recharger in case the toy accidentally turns on during transit. Cleaning the BCurious is also really simple, especially as you don't have to worry about water damage (unless the tab is out). It just needs a wash with warm water, time to air-dry and then a spray with some antibacterial toy cleaner.
