The Semilino by Fun Factory is another toy I was gifted and I have to say, I’m glad I didn’t spend money on it. It’s not bad, really, it’s just…average.

Specs:
It’s basically a ribbed, electric dildo. Once inserted, the biggest ridge sit just below the clitoris. The controls are at the non-insertable edge, along with the charging port. The controls are pretty straightforward and standard, with settings for various pulse/vibration patterns. It’s charged by USB.

Cons:
1) I hated the color. I’m not sure if it comes in other colors. But it being black silicone, it picked up every tiny bit of fuzz and showed scratches. No matter how many times I washed it, it never looked clean and I didn’t want to play with it.

2) I thought the big ridge was poorly designed and placed. To get clitoral stimulation when it was inserted required lots of pulling and shifting. Almost like I was stirring a pot of soup in my vagina. When I got the clitoral stimulation, inside it was pulling the wrong way and didn’t feel good. I just couldn’t get both internal and external stimulation.

Pros:
1) I really like the charging cord. It’s red—seems minor, but I have a drawer full of charging cords that all look alike except for the prong that plugs into the toy, and it’s SO NICE to not have to try five different cords. Just grab the red one. Easy. And it’s magnetic, so it snaps to the charging port for a snug gift.

2) When just used as an external stimulator, it’s fine. I like the ridges. Even if the toy was turned off, moving it up and down felt good because of the ridges.

If you’re looking for just an external clitoral stimulator, this might work for you, but I do think there are better options. If you’re looking for a toy that provide both internal and external stimulation, this isn’t it.
