Sabrina, 29 – Wanting to find libido again (thanks antidepressants!) and in a happy marriage
“This wonderful little toy still packs a punch and gets the job done. And it’s just so ADORABLE!!”
When I was selected to be part of this panel (thank you sex toy gods), I went on the ATMS website to understand what I might be getting myself into. I immediately hoped this might be included in the new haul that I’m deeply grateful for, and when it arrived it was even cuter and higher quality than I thought it would be.
It’s small size is even smaller than everyone’s ol’ faithful, the wonderful Satisfyer Pro 2, making it more convenient in a range of shared scenarios with a partner. And it’s super convenient for travel given its charging case makes it look like kawaii thicc AirPods – this toy is seriously cute!
Given its compact size, it isn’t surprising that it’s slightly lower power than the SP2– I probably prefer the SP2, but this wonderful little toy still packs a punch and gets the job done. And it’s just so ADORABLE!!
A downside? It’s little size can also mean it’s hard to get the position right when you’re lubed up and in the thick of things, but it means that it’s a less intimidating addition to the bedroom if you haven’t introduced toys to your intimate time with your partner.

“Without getting into too much graphic detail about my girl parts, I could let my flaps hold the toy for me – it is THAT small. You can just pop it on there and have a cup of tea at the same time. It’s not going anywhere.”
When I first opened this delightfully pink container, I thought ‘this looks like a Barbie doll accessory’. In fact, I think it’s perfectly proportioned for a Barbie. My inner kid actually wanted to find a Barbie and test that theory out! The container looks like the one that my AirPods come in, but smaller. Immediately expectations are low. I have never seen, or tried such a small toy. Surely something so small cannot have the ‘grunt’ I need or expect after being a long-time Satisfyer customer. I admit, to me, size MATTERS. There, I said it! But this is the year to try new things, and give everyone, and everything a chance.
Taking it out of the box it’s pretty much a mini SP in shape – a bit smaller than my thumb in length. The suction cup is smaller than I’m used to, and there is only one ‘on’ button, so it looks like it will be easy to use. I turned it on and cycled through the patterns, and was surprised at how strong some of them were. And so quiet! It makes hardly any noise, which is great as I share a house with kids who don’t respect privacy.
First try, I dropped it under the covers somewhere – it’s so small I had to hunt around for a while until I found it. The suction was good. I’m not going to say great, but it was ok. For me the suction cup wasn’t quite big enough, but the vibration sensation was nice. Without getting into too much graphic detail about my girl parts, I could let my flaps hold the toy for me – it is THAT small. You can just pop it on there and have a cup of tea at the same time. It’s not going anywhere.
I don’t usually go for the ‘brr brr brrrr br br brrrrr’ patterns – I’ve always been the stock standard brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr lover, but was pleasantly surprised by the options. However nice it felt, I just think the suction cup size isn’t big enough for me, and so the suction power wasn’t going to get me the happy ending I needed and deserved after a long day at work.
The ATMS review mentions discretion – ‘whether heading to the bathroom or on a business trip’, so I thought, what the heck, let me test that out. I took it to work and to the shared ladies bathroom. I can confirm it is quiet enough to use anywhere, anytime.
For those needing something easy and quick to use while out and about – definitely recommend. But for me, I don’t think it would be something I would buy. My preference is to have something bigger I can hold and manipulate easier, and that isn’t going to get lost in my labia.

“You can charge this by leaving it in the case so if you have an unexpected visitor and didn’t have time to tidy up…they will be none the wiser. *Landlord Inspection Day Flashbacks*”
It is safe to say that I love sex. Self-love sex included. But do I love it so much that I need an orgasm I can carry in my pocket? The answer is yes!
The Share Satisfaction O-Pod is marketed as pocket-sized discreet pleasure. It’s a mini suction vibrator that can hide in your bag, or depending how horny you are, your pocket.
Packaging is not something I usually look for in my toys. If it can get me off, then that’s good enough for me. But I must admit, this is super cute. If someone came across this in your bag they would likely mistake it for an ear bud or contacts case. But more importantly, is it so discreet that you can use it anywhere? Noise is basically non-existent in this bad boy; it is extremely quiet. But with three vibrations levels and two patterns to play with, you might not be so quiet, so be aware!
The device itself is tiny, no longer than a pinky finger. The suction pad is also on the smaller size, so keep that in mind if you are working with more deliciousness down there. The clit also expands with arousal so you might find it needs some fiddling to get it in the right spot.
Once you get it where you want, boy, will you want it! Because of its size it is easy to manoeuvre around to tease yourself and the button to change settings is easy to get to so you can keep it down there to be semi-hands free. This is also one for some partner play. Your partner may feel more comfortable using this on you compared to a larger device.
The O-Pod is also waterproof, which is a big plus. Another standout feature that I haven’t seen in other devices is the charging case. You can charge this by leaving it in the case so if you have an unexpected visitor and didn’t have time to tidy up…they will be none the wiser. *Landlord Inspection Day Flashbacks*
Do I recommend the O-Pod? Yes, if you are after a noise-free, subtle device for on the go fun and perhaps some partner play. But if you’re looking for a device that stimulates multiple spots, I’d suggest saving your pennies for something that’s more versatile.
I give it 2.5 out of 5 moans.

“This toy will be a must have in my handbag from now on for when the mood takes me and one, I’ll definitely be telling my girlfriends about!”
When I opened my box of delights this cute little pink machine was definitely the first one to catch my attention. My biggest fear having teenage boys is always that they would stumble across one of my toys… and we’d have to have an awkward convo as to why I have a penis-shaped vibrator in my bedroom, NO THANKS! But I really feel like they wouldn’t even look twice at this little device. I’d imagine this would even be perfect to take in your handbag or your carry on for some mobile O’s!
So, the night came to finally steal some time away from the kids and give this thing a whirl. Its ability to provide me with immense pleasure while being whisper-quiet makes it an immediate winner for me. My husband and I used it together at first, and it was the perfect size for all kinds of contortionist positions without it getting in the way or stabbing your lady parts like many a toy has before. It has three different modes ranging from ‘oh that’s lovely’ which is always fun to prolong that climax and tease yourself a little, all the way to toe curling, over in a minute, ‘Holy hell I just saw stars!’ – useful for those days when energy is low and you want an easy and efficient climax without the fuss, and that is what she has delivered for me every time so far.

Sports Bra, 35 – Flying the flag for team lesbian, and would welcome some new additions to the bedside table
“We are a discerning clit sucker household. Yes because we are lesbians, but also because we arrived at our relationship with our own preferred brands of clit stimulators in tow.”
“Oh it’s like a sexy AirPod,” was our first thought when we opened the box of the Share Satisfaction O-Pod – a Bluetooth headphone in a case that reminded me of a Polly Pocket. That was the first look, the first feel meanwhile left question marks as to whether the O-Pod would be powerful enough for our needs. We are a discerning clit sucker household. Yes because we are lesbians, but also because we arrived at our relationship with our own preferred brands of clit stimulators in tow.
Fresh from its travelling charger box, the O-Pod was underwhelming on fingertips. Not much of a flutter to get you fluttering. We had to give this thing a chance though, so we decided the best way to do this was through solo play and then to compare notes.
My partner went first and reported back that it was like using your hands but with a bit extra spice. With that in mind, I gave it a whirl and concluded the same. It was a gourmet finger job with this little O-Pod. It has a button on the side that ups the revs as you do before going into some morse code. Perhaps the message it’s sending is “Does anyone use these settings?”.
So would it be enough to have us cast off our other toys in favour of this one? Well, yes and no. At home, we have our old reliables and each other, who are more efficient at fulfilling our needs. Travel is where this little sucker would come in handy. The discreet case would appear like earphones on the airport x-ray and the self-charging case saves you lugging extra cables.
If your lover is regularly away for work, this might be just the thing to tide them over before coming home.
