I was first introduced to and became interested in the Natural Contours BonBon when I saw a video review of it from Dr. Ruthie, who is fabulous. It was pretty odd, but extremely delightful timing when just a few days after seeing that video review, it was offered up for review from Good Vibrations. Lucky me!

The Natural Contours BonBon vibrator arrived in a small, plain white box that fits the toy inside perfectly. The white box is sheathed by a slightly-textured plastic that, after you remove the small piece of tape from the bottom that keeps it attached to the white box during shipping and such, slides right off to reveal the vibrator as well as a small satin pouch and two AAA batteries that come with it inside. Printed on the front of the plastic is the Natural Contours logo and name of the toy. On either side is a side-view of the vibrator and on the back are some bullet point facts about what the BonBon can do.

The Natural Contours BonBon itself is a very small and really cute ergonomically-shaped vibrator made completely of hard plastic. One of the immediate issues I thought I would have with it was the ergonomic shape that Natural Contours insists will fit every body perfectly. Yeahhh, right! I thought. This vibrator is meant to depict a small chocolate truffle, with its small shape that measures at 2 inches in width and 2 3/4 inches long and chocolate brown coloring. From the center of the vibrator to the tip, it is curved in order to be placed against your pubic mound with the distinct point at the tip meeting your clitoris. Everyone’s body is different in shape and size, so a sex toy manufacturer’s insistence that one toy will perfectly fit everyone has a tendency to boggle my mind just a bit, especially since I am a plus-size woman myself, so something ergonomically shaped is not going to fit someone who is a size 6 the same way it will fit me, who is a size 16. But the BonBon does, in fact, lie against my pubic mound and its tip is very much able to reach my clit. This is a good thing. Maybe Natural Contours wasn’t lying after all. I am fairly confident in saying that while it is able to be used the way it was in fact meant to be used, that it isn’t going to fit every body in exactly the same way; but it does work.

Of course, because I’m, well, me, I do not enjoy using the Natural Contours BonBon in the way it was “meant” to be used. Instead of having it lie against me and sorta-kinda feel the tip vibrate against my clit (in three different speeds and a bonus pulsation vibration!) I much prefer holding the BonBon with my fingers just below the curve, and moving it along my inner labia and against my clit. This works much better for me. I did find it much more comfortable when using a little dab of water-based lube just because the BonBon is made of such a hard plastic that can feel uncomfortable against you without some added moisture. I use water-based lube with everything because I prefer it over other types of lube, but you can use whichever you prefer, be it water-based, silicone-based, or what have you.

In order to cue the vibrations within this toy, which I briefly mentioned above, you will need two AAA batteries. Lucky for you, the BonBon comes with batteries so you don’t have to scour your house for batteries or run out to the store to get them before experimenting with this vibrator. To get them in the vibrator is a little tricky at first. On the bottom of the right side of the toy, you will notice a little piece of removable plastic with a finger grip on it. Just slide the plastic off of the toy and insert the batteries. What’s tricky about this is that the little piece of plastic is relatively hard to get off the toy the first few times you change the batteries, but it loosens up after a little while and gets easier. Slide the plastic piece back on and press the single button on the front of the toy and the vibrations will begin at the highest and most intense setting. This is the vibration setting that I personally enjoy the most, but you can also cycle through the vibrations by pressing the button again and it will cycle through the second-highest intensity setting, the low intensity, and lastly, the pulsation vibration which can also be a lot of fun if you’re using the BonBon for foreplay and don’t necessarily want to get off using it.

When I had first felt the highest vibration setting on my hand, before actually using this toy against my clit, I was impressed with the intensity of the vibration. I thought it was wonderful, especially for being powered by two AAA batteries. My clit, however, was not as impressed and the BonBon has never been able to get me off while using it alone. I have consistently found myself needing more in terms of intensity or added stimulation. This leads me to believe that if you need something with a little more oomph to get you off, you probably won’t enjoy the BonBon as much as someone who needs very little intensity to get them off. On the other hand, if you’re looking for something to use against your clit during partner sex, this could very well be used for that and because of the added stimulation, it could be something really fun to add to the mix. Other than that, my clit remains stubbornly unimpressed.
