I remember discovering the Mimic by Clandestine Devices. It became one of my favourite clitoral stimulators ever, thanks to its amazing ergonomic design. It felt as though my vulva was receiving a much-needed hug when I used it.
When I received Companion from Clandestine Devices, I immediately thought of Mimic and smiled nostalgically to myself as I remembered all those orgasms. Companion is also contoured and ergonomic but smaller with a delicious protruding nub that will provide even more intense sensations as you wear it or use it as a solo toy.
Panty vibes are becoming very popular of late. Companion is a panty vibe that comes with a strong magnet that enables you to attach it to your underwear. There is also a remote control that resembles a watch. You can remove the straps if you prefer, and just use the watch face as the remote, but make sure you don’t lose it!
There are 7 vibration patterns to enjoy. But if you use the remote control, there are also 4 levels of intensity, by pressing the + or – buttons. Therefore you may want to use the remote control also for solo use as it provides a greater variety of sensations.
PACKAGING: Companion is presented in a hard box with a hygiene seal. Inside you will find the toy, a magnet, a storage pouch, the ‘watch’ remote control, a user manual and a magnetic USB charging cable. The watch has a battery which is included. You have to twist the back of the watch face and remove the protective film.
MATERIAL: It is made of super soft body-safe silicone and ABS. It is compatible with water-based lubricant. It is waterproof which means it is easy to clean and you can also use it in the bath or the shower.
STRENGTH OF MOTOR: From gentle to strong – a setting to suit all tastes and moments.
NOISE LEVEL: Silent. Check out the review video below for a soundcheck.
USABILITY: It is very intuitive to use. There is one power button on the toy to switch on and off and to go through all the different pleasure settings. You can even lock the toy if you are travelling so that it doesn’t start randomly vibrating. This is achieved by pressing down on the button for 3 seconds. To unlock it, also press the button for 3 seconds.
You should charge it for 2 horse before your first use. Then, subsequent charges should take around 70 minutes. For partner play, place it in your underwear with the magnet outside to hold it in place. You should press the button on the toy to put it in standby mode and then the remote control will automatically pair with the toy,
It’s a little wider than most panty vibes that I have used. I wouldn’t recommend using it while wearing leggings. A pair of jeans would be better. One great thing about it is that is very very discreet sound-wise, so no one should hear it if you wear it on the street.
It’s great as a tease, but after using it with a couple you may want to go indoors and use it for an orgasm. As a lay-on vibrator, it is fantastic thanks to its contoured shape, the nub especially and the motor.
ORGASM-O-BILITY: An incredible tease when worn as a panty vibe. As a lay on clitoral stimulator, it is amazing. The shape is like a ‘vulva hugger’ the nub that sticks out, combined with the powerful motor, feels out of this world.
PROS: amazing, contoured shape. Intuitive to use. Good range of intensities – from gentle to strong. Silent. Soft texture. Waterproof.
CONS: The packaging contains lots of plastic. It is a little wider than most panty vibes. Not idea for long walks.
IDEAL FOR:
- Foreplay in public with a partner.
- Using as a clitoral stimulator.
- Massaging other parts of the body.
- Couples who wish to spice things up.
