Shrill.
That’s how I’d describe this toy.
Completely and utterly shrill.
When this toy is turned on it literally shrieks out a loud and high pitched hum that, on first activation, actually gave me more of a shock then the recent ‘horror movies’ that have graces the silver screens (jump scares are not horror. They’re brief shocks. Just sayin’)
It was also when I first heard the sounds that this toy made that I knew it was going to be an interesting review process testing this toy. One way or another, I knew this toy was going to leave an impression with me.
And I wasn’t wrong.
The Jimmyjane Focus Sonic Rechargeable Pinpoint Vibrator
The Jimmyjane Focus Sonic Rechargeable Pinpoint Vibrator is Jimmyjane’s offer in the sonic pulsating market that has previously belonged almost exclusively to Zumio (and with good reason).
These types of toys are all about condensing down everything to the tiniest tip possible. Sensation, pleasure, point of contact; it all gets refined down to a single tip primarily intended for clitoral stimulation and, oh boy, can these toys be intense.
Both the Zumio line and the Jimmyjane Focus Sonic Rechargeable Pinpoint Vibrator have a similar premise, the two deviate in a few core ways. These are worth discussing because if you’re looking at this toy then you’re likely also eyeing up the Zumio range too (and one is currently more expensive than the other).
Whereas the Zumio is lean and long, the Jimmyjane Focus Sonic Rechargeable Pinpoint Vibrator is short and stout.
Where the Zumio is all about letting its tip do the talking, the Jimmyjane Focus Sonic Rechargeable Pinpoint Vibrator offers three different silicone attachments, which buffer the sound and sensation of this product and offer different play styles and sensations.
And where the Zumio feels great the Jimmyjane Focus Sonic Rechargeable Pinpoint Vibrator feels…well…intrusive.
At least to me. But we’ll talk about that in a little bit.
Beforehand let’s go over specs.
The Jimmyjane Focus Sonic Rechargeable Pinpoint Vibrator has a silicone body, a rigid ABS plastic tip, and three silicone sleeves. All of these materials are non porous, phthalate-free, and completely body safe, which is nice.
I was hoping this toy was waterproof (I mean, it does retail at £100 at full price, after all) but it’s actually ‘splash-proof’ which makes it washable and shower-friendly but not bath friendly.
Thankfully this does allow for an easier cleaning time with the Jimmyjane Focus Sonic Rechargeable Pinpoint Vibrator, although it should be said that the inside of the sleeves is almost impossible to clean without a tiny scrubbing brush to help you get in to it. The type used for reuseable straws should suffice, but you can imagine that this adds inconvenience to the whole process.
The Jimmyjane Focus Sonic Rechargeable Pinpoint Vibrator is USB rechargeable and a 90 minute charge will give you 60 minutes of play time. This is adequate but quite irksome is the fact that this toy has a shut off mode. Yup – after 10 minutes of play time this toy will turn itself off, like a parent who shuts the TV or gaming system down after a designated media time.
That is fucking bullshit from a sex toy.
I can understand it for overheating reasons (though there’s an argument that if your toy overheats after 10 minutes then you shouldn’t be selling it to consumers) but the idea of a power saving nanny feature is beyond irritating.
It’s definitely a minus when it comes to this toy.
On a positive note this toy does come with a storage bag, which is specifically designed for holding a sex toy in terms of bacterial regulation, so that’s nice.
What’s not nice, on the other hand, are the vibrations from this toy.
I’m not going to bullshit you on this – when I applied the Jimmyjane Focus Sonic Rechargeable Pinpoint Vibrator to my body I reached a clenching, climax-mimicking sensation in my body almost instantly. But note that I say ‘mimicking’ rather than considering it an actual climax.
Yes, my vaginal wall’s clenched and my clit pulsed in a “Oh, okay. I guess this is happening” kind of way but my body felt shocked, my mind completely dissatisfied and my clit actually hurt from the sensations of the Jimmyjane Focus Sonic Rechargeable Pinpoint Vibrator. This toy’s vibrations are…well…shriekingly painful, intense, and localized, to the point where your body may respond but you may not even like it during…at least I didn’t.
There really is no backing off with this toy, not even on the lowest setting. You either have to apply the tip or not. Those are your options, and the tip is so small that you’re pretty much locked in to them.
The sleeves help buffer the sensations, for sure, but that also kind of takes away from the point of this type of toy: A pinpoint sonic vibrator is meant to effectively concentrate the sensations of pleasure and climax in a concentrated tip. If they can’t do so without pain or a silicone sleeve to mediate the sensation then they’ve failed as a product.
That said, I’ll humour this toy’s sleeves and give you my two cents on them:
The scooper: Better for being able to play directly on the clit without as much pain but feels like it doesn’t allow for a good fit for all bodies.
The brush: Owch but now with bristles too.
The tulip tip: A similar ouch from before but buffered a bit while still offering a pin-point option. Probably the best of the bunch.
These sleeves are at least easy to apply and remove, so I’m happy that I can report that for you, but when they exist to distract from, rather than complement, the toy’s default sensations then I can’t say I’m impressed.
For those who are curious as to the options this toy has in terms of sensations, there are 4 different intensity levels which range from 120-260 kHz, so enough of a variation for those who like continual vibration, but pattern-lovers would probably find themselves a bit irked by a lack of variation. Such is the nature with these toys however.
The bulbous shape of the handle for this toy is either a pro or a con depending on how you look at it. For me I found it to be a bit awkward to hold in my smaller hands, but I likely the fact that it offered a good area to grip and position this toy with. Those with larger hands would likely appreciate it so I really do think it’s one of the better aspects of this toy.
Mind you…what does that say about the toy overall, really?
Final Thoughts
The shrill, painful, and weirdly faux-climax causing sensations of this vibrator were nothing but a misery masturbation for me and I cannot, in good conscience, recommend this toy to anyone.
Its loud and annoying screams of recognition may be hard to ignore but they certainly fall on deaf ears in terms of attaining praise because I’m afraid I have little positive to say about this vibe.
What I can take from this review (and what I hope helps you) is that the Zumio has perfected its art and is the better purchase by far.
Save yourself the irritation and opt for this option yourself.
You’re worth it.
