It’s been a minute since I’ve reviewed anything, so I’m making up for lost time with two toys. Thanks to BestVibe.co.uk for sponsoring this post and sending me these toys for my honest review. The official listing for these is the Beinlove Bunny Tongue Licking Clitoris Nipple Vibrator and Bestvibe 9 Speed Strapless Strap-On Dildo Double End Vibrator Remote Control; however, the boxes label them, respectively, as the Tina and the Nami-RCT, so I’ll be using those names as well. (Links are affiliate links, and I will earn a small commission from any purchase. Some adblockers may ask permission to proceed; it’s safe, it just tracks your cookies so I can receive a commission.) Let’s take a look at these two toys!
BeInLove Bunny or Tina
Let’s start with the sillier-looking one, because let’s be honest, that’s the one you clicked for, isn’t it? The Tina is an orb about the size of a softball, with bunny ears and little heart-shaped eyes and a little :3 bunny mouth. It’s really cute, y’all. Aaand also there’s a tongue-shaped appendage dangling where its neck would be. Listen, don’t think about it. There are also two clear cylindrical cups that can be screwed on.
The main body of the Tina is definitely silicone, but I’m less sure about the “tongue”–it doesn’t feel like silicone, but when we tried the flame test it didn’t ignite or leave a sticky residue. Since it’s being used exclusively externally, I was less worried about this than I might be with a dildo or something I plan to insert. The cylindrical cups are definitely not silicone—crystal-clear silicone is possible but not at this price point—but again, they will not be touching any mucous membranes so I’m less concerned about that. It is rechargeable, with a little charging port at the back of the head.
This toy came with an instruction manual, but it was unfortunately not in English, and translation software only got me so far. What I did manage to get is that the left eye (facing you) controls the tongue, which flicks back and forth and in a circle. And the right eye controls the suction. Yes, the suction.
Because what I didn’t realize when I requested it is that Tina is an actual pump-type toy, meant for nipples or vulvas. Unfortunately, when Damien tried that feature, they quickly realized that it doesn’t have a quick-release feature, which a pump should have. You can break the seal manually, but it takes a little work, and left Damien with a slightly bruised titty. No one could figure out how to get a seal on the vulva, which is probably fine since no one wanted a bruised labia. So the suction part isn’t great, and I can’t say I recommend it.
That said, I’m not even mad. Because the tongue part is fun.
First, let me say this upfront: this is not going to be a replacement for oral sex, because no sex toy is a true replacement for cunnilingus. Just like a dildo isn’t a true replacement for a partner with a penis, no toy can completely copy the experience of someone going down on you. A partner can use their tongue, flatten it, point it, and can add their lips, or their nose or chin, and can moan, and pause to tell you dirty things. A toy cannot do that, and does not need to do that.
The BeInLove Bunny feels a little different from a vibrator, even at top speeds, providing more of a friction sensation than a rumble. For me, it created a nice slow build-up sensation followed by a super satisfying orgasm.
And, very excitingly: between the size and shape, the button position, and the fact that it’s not vibrating traditionally, it’s a really nice toy to hold onto when my wrist issues are acting up. My damaged wrist & hand sometimes experience a lot of pain from vibrators, both from the actual vibration rattling up into my hand, and also from having to hold a small item at a certain angle for an extended period of time. Because of the large ball-shape, it’s a very natural place for my hand to rest, with the thumb hitting the button easily; and because it doesn’t exactly vibrate, while it does move in my hand, it doesn’t send a vibrating sensation into the bone and muscle.
The weird nubby tongue texture did leave my clit a little sore for a few minutes after use, but it faded very quickly. And honestly, it’s kinda worth it for a toy I can actually use when my wrist is acting up.
So: the suction was a no for me, but the tongue flippy-flappy action? Heck yes!
Nami-RCT Strapless Strap-On
This is actually my first “strapless strap-on” type of toy! If you’re unfamiliar, here’s how it works: the bulb is inserted into the “wearer,” which then means they can use the dildo part with a partner. If you’re unfamiliar with me and my relationship, you might also know that my partner Damien and I don’t have traditional genital-smushing sex, but that’s okay! We both still wanted the option to try this out, because sometimes…it’s fun to have a dick.
This toy has both a button on the side, and a remote control, so you don’t have to sit there trying to reach between you and a partner to turn the vibrations up or off or whatever. I had a little trouble with the remote control because I kept forgetting that the vibrator has to be on before you can connect the remote, but once I had it figured out, it worked great!
The bulb end was really secure when inserted into the vagina, and for me, lined up really nicely with my G-spot. The dildo end is also a nice shape, fairly slim and smooth and very flexible, and it sticks up at a pretty natural angle instead of drooping under its own weight, as I’m told a lot of these toys do. It’s all covered in a nice soft silicone, and the quality feels really good. The vibrations are strong—Damien actually found them a little too strong when they tried it out.
For me, I couldn’t orgasm with the Nami-RCT inserted, either from the bulb or the dildo end, not even trying to grind on whichever part I wasn’t using. The only way I could get an orgasm from this was holding the end of the dildo to my clit, which…isn’t exactly an intuitive way to use this toy. Oh, and I did manage to orgasm with the bulb inserted and my favorite bullet vibrator on my clit, but it was, uh…a little awkward, and difficult for me to repeat.
Does that mean this is a bad toy? Not at all! I think if you’re intending to use this for penetration, it’s a pretty good toy! The bulb stayed inserted even with a lot of movement, and I think including a partner, which will add both physical and visual stimuli, will improve things tremendously. Also, if your clit doesn’t crave super pin-point stimulation, it’ll probably be enough; my clit is just a little picky on how it gets touched.
If you are looking for something more pinpoint—I can’t vouch for this squid toy personally, but I really wanted it when BestVibe reached out to me. They unfortunately didn’t have one available to ship to me. Maybe another time! They also have this simple bullet, if you’re less impressed by fancy animal shapes than I am.
The Bottom Line
BestVibe has some weird toys, some silly-looking toys, and some toys that may not be safe. But honestly, I had good results with these ones. My favorite of the pair was the BeInLove Bunny or Tina, for disability reasons, but I don’t think either was a bad toy. Thanks again to BestVibe UK, and thank you also to Damien who did a lot of very thorough testing.
