Superbe Personal Massager

by Shelly Lomax


Of all the Natural Contours products I’ve tried, the Superbe is in the running with the Liberté for 1st place - it was F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S. The soft curves achieve ergonomic harmony with the female form; it’s no wonder that this toy was made for women, by women.

Description and Materials
The Superbe comes in a fun, bright yellow color. Its profile is curved like the shape of an “L”; from a head-on view, it’s got a wider base that tapers and rounds over into a thick curved tip. The impact resistant case measures 4 ¾ inches in length and its width graduates from 1 ¼ to 2 ½ inches. The body is made of a smooth ABS plastic that glides deliciously across your erogenous zones. The rigidity of the material provides women with the accuracy to hone in on the spots that need indulging.

The advantage this particular shape offers is that it’s discreet. This makes it easy to keep around the house, particularly if there are curious hands rustling through your so-called hiding spots; it’s also great for travel.

How It Works
The Superbe offers 1 continuous vibe function with 3 speed options to choose from. It fits comfortably in the palm of your hand and feels really lightweight, even with the 2 AA batteries inside. The battery compartment can be accessed by pushing on the depression and sliding the cover right off. It’s rather fussy to close the cover so make sure that your line it up right to put it back on. The power switch is a slider and is located on the topside of the toy. It’s easy enough to change speeds while you’re at play, but I would have preferred it to be located closer to the wider end of the toy.

In terms of power, the vibration that was delivered was not really as precise as, say, a pocket rocket - but I was surprised as the level of accuracy it did provide. I found that the vibration didn’t numb my hand, because Superbe’s vibe was more concentrated on the tip side. However, there was still enough juice delivered throughout the rest of the toy to be able to enjoy every inch of its curves. To be clear, this toy isn’t exactly the most powerful vibrator, but it did produce enough to satisfy those who prefer intensity ranging from very gentle to medium strength.

Packaging/Storage
This pleasure device came in the signature Natural Contours wrapping - a compact black cardboard box, folded to effectively display the toy, and a semi transparent clear plastic sleeve. The Sleeve was tastefully embellished with pictures of the Superbe and a few written features and benefits. 2 AA batteries were included in the package, as were operating and care instructions. There wasn’t anything included to store the toy in, so get yourself a satin or velvet storage bag; a lint free sock will do in a pinch.

Audibility

Although the Superbe was advertised as having a low noise motor, I was disappointed with the loud sound it made. The mechanism had an annoying buzz and the batteries rattled against the body of the toy. It was really not up to scratch in the audibility department. I hope that in future products Natural Contours comes up with a way to design the body of their toys to synthesize better with their low noise Japanese motors.

Pleasure Factor
It’s all in the shape. Once you get reasonably lubricated, turn on the toy and experiment with the sensations created by this ergonomic massager. You’ll notice that the Superbe fits comfortably over the pubic mound and its tip rests teasingly close to the vaginal opening. The sensation of rubbing the toy back and forth from clitoris down to the vagina will actually begin to feel like someone’s satisfying fingers. Even just letting the toy lay across the pubice without any extra handling on your part will feel good.

My absolute favorite thing to do with the Superbe was to penetrate my vagina. If the width doesn’t overwhelm you, you’re on the road to some serious pleasure. The rigidity of the toy gives you the control to manoeuvre it more precisely. The long curve is downright fantastic in stimulating the G-spot, particularly if yours isn’t extremely deep in your vagina. The other aspect I love is that you can twist the toy around while it’s inside you to reach sensitive spots that are off to the right or the left; every woman’s body is different and so too is the exact positioning of her G-spot. The Superbe is the tool that can help you explore the intricacies of your pleasure spots and in my opinion, was amazing to locate the G-spot with.

Cleaning
This toy is not designed to be submersed in water. The manufacturer recommends that you clean it with a washcloth and mild soap. You can towel it off but let it completely air dry before storing it away.

Critique
In the last year, I’ve reviewed many toys; many have caught my interest because they were well crafted, multi functional or had some other unique or unusual feature to it. This is the first toy in quite a while that has completely blown away any negative assumptions I had about it. The shape was unlike any I have tried in the past; I was completely surprised that this one would be the product that would give me such an amazing experience.

The Superbe is a diamond in the rough, and I say rough because of a few key characteristics that could be improved upon: battery rattle, finicky battery cover, loudness and lack of waterproofing. I also wanted to be able to insert the toy just a little bit deeper into my vagina, but I couldn’t go in any farther without getting juices into the slide control. I felt that the wide end of the toy could have been curved a little differently, say in an ‘s’ shape, in order to facilitate better insertion control. The slider too, could be moved towards the wide end of the toy.

Long Term Appeal

The Superbe’s non phallic shape makes it an attractive toy for the long run. It’s kind of like buying a classic pencil skirt or a basic black cardigan; there are less trendy features to get bored of and you’ll be able to integrate it into your play on many more occasions. The Superbe has earned a place in my ‘go to’ pleasure chest; it’s hygienic, uncomplicated and delivers great orgasms, all factors that appeal to me on a longer term basis.

Value
The cost of this toy is superb; there is major bang for your buck. Also because it’s priced in a lower range, it makes it a less of a risk to try out.

Final Thoughts
It lost a few points with me because it was too loud and lacked in certain aspects of design and manufacturing; nevertheless, it still gave me wicked awesome G-spot experience and I recommend it as a worthwhile, low cost toy to pick up. I rate the Superbe an 8.5/10.
