“My Yarrow arrived a couple of days after I ordered, in a box that was very discreet outside but brilliant inside. A few nights of near-unconscious sleep later, these are the pros and cons as I see them:
What I like:
* The soft silicone.
* The cushioned head of the dildo part. Makes sense for something that’s going to be pounding you.
* The colour. Green’s my favourite.
* The easy controls.
* The external stimulator isn’t rabbit shaped. I know, odd thing to mention, but I find it a bit creepy pushing something that looks like an animal up against my…
* The external stimulator is soft and flexible. This does mean you have to make little adjustments to make sure it’s where you want it, but for me that’s a good thing: people are shaped differently and/or like stimulation in different spots, and I like to delay external stimulation for a bit to give me extra time to enjoy the thrust function, so I can just nudge the external probe off to the side slightly so it isn’t so intense.
* No UTIs yet! My first rabbit was not kind to me.
* The thrusting. Oh gods, the thrusting.
What could be better:
* If you have a roommate, or even someone sleeping in the next room, you’re probably not going to feel comfortable using this toy while they’re around. I wouldn’t play with my Yarrow with someone in the next room; I think what happens is that when the thrusting motor (which isn’t whisper-quiet as it is) meets the resistance of your body’s grip, it gets a bit louder. However, that isn’t really a problem for me because I’m the only person sleeping on the upper floor of my house, so between that and the muffling effect of a duvet I haven’t attracted any ‘What’s that noise?’ awkwardness.
* My dream redesign of this toy would allow me to control the internal and external parts independently, so I could set the former to ‘show no mercy’ and the latter to ‘just tease, please’, or even keep the external part switched off for a while. (This is because externally I’m very sensitive and responsive.) As it is, I get by by manipulating the external probe, as previously explained.”
“I enjoy the thrusting action, however, this was just not the right toy for me. The Natural Love Company has a 365 love it policy and so I was able to replace the Yarrow with a different toy that fits my needs better. You also don't have to worry about waste because they'll recycle the used toy.”
