Liberte Review

The Liberte is a personal massager that is part of the Sinclair Institute's Natural Contours line, one that is both elegant and ergonomic. The product's stylish design serves a couple of purposes; it is intended to be an excellent way to stimulate the g-spot as well as the clitoris. It's also great for solo and couple play and can be used to gently stimulate other erogenous zones such as nipples or testicles.

Description and Materials

The design of this toy is subtle. It doesn't greatly resemble a self-pleasuring device, so if someone comes across it, they may not immediately realize that it's a sex toy.

The Liberte is a four setting vibrator with a smooth curved shape that glides easily in and out of the vagina. It is quite easy to manipulate with one hand, so changing the speeds while using it is fairly effortless.

The Liberte is made of a high quality plastic that is non-porous and free of the carcinogenic chemicals called phthalates. It is almost 8 inches tall and the bulbous head has a circumference of approximately 3.5 inches. When you subtract the base you have about 6 inches of insertable length, which for most women is long enough to comfortably reach the cervix. The middle of the wand is oh-so-thin and as a result you can comfortably twist and twirl it to experience a unique sensation inside the vagina.

How to Operate

The nice thing about products from the Sinclair Institute is that you usually get a video description of the item, and a tutorial to explain how to get it up and running, together with a quick account of its sensual benefits. These videos last approximately 2 to 5 minutes and are available to view on their website.

Two AA batteries slide into the base of the wand, with positive and negative terminals clearly marked. The batteries sit very snugly in their compartment, which means that they don't rattle against the body and create unnecessary reverberation.

There is one control button with four settings; each time you click the button, it will move the vibrator to next speed. The first click turns the device on and sets it to the most intense steady speed; the following three clicks will steadily decrease the intensity followed by the next click which turns on a mild pulsing vibration. The last click shuts it off.

Packaging/Storage

The Liberte came in an easy-to-open sophisticated box. I really appreciated that they included batteries with the product, which brings you that one step closer to using it! The see-through plastic sleeve has a picture of the toy on it, as well as a bit of a write-up on the product.

As the size of the box is relatively small, you can slide the sleeve on and off and use the molded plastic container inside to store your toy. If you hate keeping the packaging, or space is limited, you can go out to a dollar store to by a velvet or satin satchel to store it in to avoid getting it dirty and/or scratched. You have a storage advantage with the Liberte because it is made of sturdy plastic.

Audibility

The sound that the Liberte makes will not raise eyebrows. The noise is audible but it's a muffled buzzing. Having the batteries fit tightly into their compartment definitely cut down the noise factor. This is certainly a toy you wouldn't worry about roommates overhearing, nor will you spoil the mood because you sound like you're using a power tool instead of a sex toy.

How it Works/Pleasure Factor

It's important for a woman's toy arsenal to have at least one multi-speed personal massager. The shape of the Liberte lends itself very well to concentrated, yet comfortable, g-spot stimulation. The vibration doesn't make the holding hand go numb and it won't feel like ‘over-buzz' either.

Created for clitoral and g-spot stimulation, you can use the Liberté to arouse either spot; what's more you can massage both areas at once, particularly if you utilize a rocking forward and back motion. Some women may find that the vibration isn't strong enough. In this case, it is so easy to integrate a second vibrator into the mix. I normally use my Liberté on the second highest speed and found that the strength was adequate.

I found myself using the Liberté for longer-distance masturbating, where you're not so intent on getting the job done as much as you are on the build-up to climax. When you look at it that way, the milder buzzing isn't as much of an issue. I also found that the smooth plastic surface is much more conducive to these extended sessions than say, a jelly counterpart.

Cleaning

Because the Liberte is not waterproof, you have to be a bit more careful with cleaning; you'll want to avoid submersing the entire unit because it'll penetrate the battery compartment. You'll want to clean it with non-irritating soap and warm water or, alternatively, use an anti bacterial toy cleaner. Make sure you let it fully dry before storing it.

Critique

There are two main drawbacks to this toy. Firstly, it is not waterproof. Secondly, its range of intensity isn't as broad as I'd like. I think some women would like it to buzz a bit stronger, but then again the beauty of the Liberte is that it's ergonomic design really works well with a second vibrator. A plus for me was that the package came with batteries but I thought it would have been a nice touch to include a storage bag.

On a positive note, I really enjoy using a plastic g-spot stimulator and the Liberte is an excellent model. There is something to be said about the firmness of the toy in helping to achieve a g-spot orgasm. I feel that rigidity needs to be there for many women to really hit the spot right. With this particular shape, you get the sense of fullness from the bulbous end without experiencing anything too overwhelming at the entrance to the vagina.

Long Term Appeal

You will definitely enjoy your Liberte in the long term. Its design is sturdy and you won't get bored of its benefits or its looks. You might get tired of always using batteries but at least they're common enough and you only need two of them.

Sex toys with bling are fun for the moment, but can often be made with lesser quality materials or a design that isn't conducive to good hygiene. The Liberte's look is simple but it'll maintain a continued appeal.

You definitely get great value out of the Liberte as its cost very reasonable. Its good construction will make it live a long sturdy life dedicated to your pleasure.

Final Thoughts

The Liberte is my favorite product from the Natural Contours series so far! It's a toy that's in my ‘favorites' stash and one that I integrate into play on a regular basis. I rate it 6.5/10.
