I’d already mentioned the Womanizer Eco, an eco-friendly version of the famous Womanizer Premium.
The brand recently got in touch to offer us a test of their recyclable air pulse vibrator. So here’s my take on the Womanizer Premium Eco.
Sextoy packaging
The packaging, made of cardboard, is 100% recyclable, but it’s not ugly for all that. The presentation is polished.
Inside you’ll find the sex toy, its charging cable, its instruction manual, a spare tip, and a case.
This case is made of beige cotton, and bears the inscription “Go. Love yourself !”. Sure, the wordplay is, itself, recycled, Justin Bieber had thought of it too, but it’s still a bit funny, and more original than the usual satin case supplied with many sex toys. Just in case it hasn’t clicked: the slogan “Go. Love yourself!” also sounds like “go f*** yourself”, an expression telling someone to go and… make themselves a cup of tea, to be polite, and one quickly sees an analogy to masturbation.
The look of the Womanizer Eco
The Womanizer Eco looks identical to the Womanizer Premium, apart from the colour. It’s pale pink, whereas the Premium comes in various colours.
Texture and materials
The body of the Womanizer Premium Eco is made of “Biolene”, a biodegradable plastic. You can’t really find much information about this online, other than what’s provided by Womanizer: it seems the brand developed Biolene specifically for the design of the Premium Eco.
This material comes from renewable raw materials, mainly corn flour. Note: when a plastic product is advertised as “biodegradable”, it implies “in an industrial context”. To dispose of it, you’ll need to take it to recycling. If you chuck it in nature, it’s not going to spontaneously decompose with the dead leaves. This also means your Womanizer Premium Eco won’t deteriorate any faster just because it’s recyclable.
Biolene is rigid and smooth, it’s a bit less pleasant to the touch than silicone. But the difference is barely noticeable, and it only concerns the fingers, because the tip, the only part of the sex toy that comes into contact with the clitoris, is still made of soft silicone.
Powering the Womanizer Eco
Like the original model, the Womanizer Premium Eco is rechargeable. Its cable, USB on one end and with two magnetic tips on the other, is shorter than the Premium’s. It’s only about fifty centimetres long. The stated reason is ecology, but I find it a bit stingy. Well, it’s not a disaster either, it doesn’t affect use.
The cable is beige, and covered in fabric to limit the amount of plastic.
Like the Premium, the Premium Eco is not waterproof, but only splash-resistant.
Controls and modes
The controls on the Womanizer Eco are similar to those on the Womanizer Premium, with one exception: the Eco has no Autopilot mode.
For my part, I don’t really like the Autopilot on the Womanizer Premium, that mode where the sex toy gradually increases in intensity, slowly, far too slowly for my taste. I don’t use it, and consequently, it doesn’t miss me on the Premium Eco. But it’s a matter of sensitivity: if you like building up the excitement slowly, go for the Premium without hesitation.
The Premium Eco does, however, come with the “Smart Silence” mode, which allows it to go quiet when it’s not in contact with the clitoris.
Using the Womanizer Eco
As for the effectiveness of the Premium Eco, apart from the lack of Autopilot mode, it’s strictly identical to the Womanizer Premium.
You place its tip on the clitoris, and the sex toy diffuses, without contact, pulsations, as well as a light suction. In terms of power, it has enough to satisfy all tastes. For sensitive clitorises, the lowest intensity level starts off very gently. But at full intensity, the suction and pulsations are very strong. I reach orgasm quickly and without effort. The sensations are intense, the orgasm is truly satisfying, and I can start again immediately after coming.
Conclusion on the Womanizer Eco
The good points:
- Like the Premium, the Womanizer Premium Eco also reaches very low or very high power levels. It will therefore satisfy the most sensitive clitorises as well as the most demanding ones.
- Thanks to the “Smart Silence” feature, it keeps the ears at peace.
- Its look is nice.
- Releasing a recyclable vibrator is a good initiative, which, hopefully, will give other brands an example to follow.
The bad points:
- Its price: at present, the Womanizer Premium Eco is more expensive than the Premium (€189 for the Premium Eco versus €149 for the Premium on Womanizer’s website), even though the two toys are almost identical (the Premium Eco even has one fewer feature). It’s a pity that the brand doesn’t try harder to encourage its customers to opt for the eco-friendly version.
The Womanizer Premium Eco is a good sex toy, there’s no doubt about that, orgasms are guaranteed with it. It’s just a bit of a shame that Womanizer seems to show an interest in ecology only while it’s making a bit of a buzz, rather than applying its good ideas to all its models.
Merci à Womanizer de nous avoir fourni son modèle Eco pour ce test
