This is truly a "hardcore" toy. When I first placed the order, I wondered if those two handles were really necessary. However, after using it a few times, I can say with absolute certainty: yes, they are indeed essential. Some toys offer only a handful of speed or vibration modes, but this "beast" boasts a countless number of mode combinations. During use, the handles allow you to manually control the depth of penetration, the thrusting speed, and even the trajectory of the movement. Furthermore, it features a flat base; if you happen to have a surface of the right height nearby—such as a table or nightstand—you can simply set it down and use it hands-free. The product also comes with two suction cup attachments, further enhancing the variety of ways you can play with it. If I had to name a single downside, it would be its sheer size; unless your nightstand drawers are exceptionally spacious, finding a place to discreetly store it can be quite a challenge. The battery life is outstanding—I used it continuously for over 30 minutes, and it still had plenty of power left. All in all, I give this product a massive thumbs-up!
