I have been loving this shell-shaped clitoral suction toy from Avid Love Play. The moment I first saw it, I immediately thought of The Birth of Venus, a painting that has always had a special place in my heart.
I studied History of Art, and I still remember the impact that painting had on me. Venus emerging from the ocean on a shell represented a softer, curvier, more natural beauty ideal. As someone with a pale and curvy body type, I remember looking at that image years ago and joking that I had been born a few centuries too late for my body type to be fashionable.
So with all of that in mind, I held this little shell in my hand and unexpectedly had one of the most epic orgasms ever.
This toy is not only aesthetically beautiful, but also incredibly practical. Many people prefer intimate products that do not immediately resemble traditional sex toys, and this shell design is perfect for discreet use. The ridged shell texture also creates an ergonomic grip, making it easy to hold even if your hands are slippery from lubricant or things are becoming a little heated.
What’s Included
The shell-shaped clitoral suction toy comes presented in a compact box including:
- Shell clitoral suction toy
- USB magnetic charging cable
- User guide
Material and Design
The toy is made from body-safe silicone and feels soft and smooth against the skin.
It is rated waterproof to IPX6 standards, meaning it is splash-proof and washable under running water. However, it is not intended for bath or shower use.
It is also compatible with water-based lubricant.
The shell design is genuinely one of my favourite things about this product. It feels elegant, playful and decorative rather than clinical or intimidating.
Motor Strength and Pleasure Modes
The intensity ranges from moderate to strong and includes 10 different pleasure settings.
The first three modes provide continuous stimulation, while the remaining settings introduce pulsation patterns with different rhythms and speeds.
Some feel teasing and gentle, while others create a stronger throbbing sensation.
Personally, I stayed around modes one and two. I honestly did not feel the need to go much higher.
Noise Level
Noise level: Moderate
It is not completely silent, but it is also not excessively loud.
Usability
The controls are very intuitive.
Charging is simple:
- Attach the magnetic charging cable
- Plug in the device
- Full charge takes approximately 65 minutes
- Running time is approximately 65 minutes
There is only one button, which keeps things very straightforward:
- Press and hold for 1.5 seconds to switch on
- A short vibration confirms standby mode
- A small indicator light appears
- Short press again to cycle through the pleasure settings
- Long press to switch off
The light itself is very discreet. It is useful if you are using it in low lighting but does not illuminate the entire room.
The nozzle has an oval shape and can be positioned differently according to personal preference and anatomy.
Orgasm-O-bility
This is where things became interesting.
I actually intended to record my review video the previous day, but after trying it I was floating around in such a post-orgasmic cloud that coherent speech felt ambitious.
I had to come back down to earth, return to the shell of Venus and gather my thoughts before filming properly.
The orgasms were genuinely intense and satisfying. Definitely repeat-worthy.
