Feature Friday: Nobü

Let me tell you about Nobü, an amazing line of toys which BodiSpa introduced earlier this year. We got them in store recently and all of us here are ecstatic about them. I am enamoured with these toys to an embarrassing degree, which I'm sure will become increasingly obvious with each passing paragraph. Why do I love them so much? Well, I'm glad you asked.

10 intense vibrations

From what I’ve seen, it has become fairly standard for luxury toys to include 10 programs (3 speeds, 7 pulses). This toy has that. It also has two control buttons (up and down) so that you can cycle through these programs in two directions and find your favourite program all the more quickly.

Dual Motors

Nothing bothers me more than when a toy has a single motor in its base. Most toys are designed to use the tip as the main point of stimulation, and yet with a single motor at the base, vibrations lose power as they travel through the material to the tip and your hand may go numb from holding the vibrating base before you get off. It’s bad design and, more importantly, really frustrating.
Luckily, you won’t have that problem with Nobü.
Nobü toys tend to have two motors, one towards the base and one towards the tip. This means that a lower level of vibration will have more effect. Additionally, it makes it easy for these toys to be used as internal or external stimulation because however you use these toys, you’ll be able to feel it. This is especially awesome on the branch vibes because it guarantees both key points of contact will be vibrating.
The Mika only has one motor, and the Saki, Tako, and Yuzu actually have *three*.

Medical Grade Silicone

Silicone is non-porous, meaning it’s resistant to bacteria growth and easier to clean. The only materials that are more hygienic than silicone are metal or glass, and neither of those toys have the soft finish and bit of give that silicone provides.

Light

These toys are light so they’re easy to maneuver. Whether using it alone or with someone else, it’ll be easy to get it where you want it and keep it there.

Rechargeable

With rechargeable batteries, you don't have to fuss with awkward battery packs, deal with throwing out batteries, or worry about your battery stash starting to leak. These rechargeable batteries charge quickly, and can be used on a less than full charge, so they're ready when you are.

Quiet

The noise production is <40 dB. As a point of comparison, bird calls are 44dB. In short, you can use this without your kids / roommates / parents wondering what that noise is.
… Well, unless you get loud when getting it on. If that’s the case, you may be interested in the following feature.

Voice responsive (Select models only)

Yeah, you heard me. Switch select models to the voice responsive mode in order to have the vibrations increase and decrease in response to the amount of noise you're making.

Touch sensitive (Select models only)

These models are heat sensitive, so as things heat up, so do their vibrations. An excellent way to escalate your play.
