Iroha Rin is a vibrator that reminded me again of my first sex toy because of its simplicity. Their form is very similar. Since Tenga, which is in charge of the Iroha line of vibrators, has excellent and exciting toys for men, I gave it a chance, despite the overly simple design.

The advertisement for this erotic toy is colorful and eye-catching. The women I follow on Twitter were crazy about it and could hardly wait for a vibrator to be available in erotic shops. I waited for the first wave of purchases and joined the second, that is, when the product also arrived in Slovenia. 

As I waited in front of the parcel machine for a small metal door to open, I wondered how it would be. If it is big enough, how will the toy's unusual but simple shape affect my orgasm or masturbation. When the door finally opened, I pulled out a tiny cardboard box. Good. All good. I got in the car and hurried to visit my sex friend. There I grabbed the keys and started tearing the duct tape with the smallest among them. After a few small panic attacks, I was able to see the little black box. Inside, however, was a minimalist erotic accessory, Iroha Rin. 

In the shape of the letter I or an enlarged pawns edition, this toy is a classic bullet vibrator with a head or a large dot at the top. Soft as the ad shows. Judging by the description, this tip, which also moves a bit, should better satisfy inner pleasure and pressure on different points. Also, in combination with a rigid base, it should help to facilitate insertion. 

Going back a bit to when you decide on a product, you can choose between two: Iroha Rin Akane and Kogane. The difference between these two products is only in color. The first has a dark red and the second an ocher base. Later, they also released the Iroha Rin Plus vibrator, which is also rechargeable, and you can choose between the pink and green color of the product. Iroha Rin Plus was released after my purchase. Since I was impatient, I have a vibrator Iroha Rin that requires batteries. I didn’t expect inserting the batteries could be so tedious. Since it is not well marked where the plus is and where the minus is, I tested all the combinations: + -, - +, ++, - and the annoying and hard closing of the lid on the base.

After a fifteen-minute search for instructions on the internet, putting my glasses on and down, exploring the toy with my fingers, Iroha Rin began to vibrate when I pressed hard the only button on the vibrator. I decided to give it a try right away. I couldn’t wait to get home. Insertion was more comfortable than with other toys. Every time, even later. 

Unfortunately, during testing, I quickly found that the product offers only three vibration powers and one pattern, so a total of four programs. Although I advocate simplicity, it bothered me here a bit. After the most potent vibration power, the one that drives you from hell to heaven would come in handy. The highest power of the vibrations leaves you merely hovering above the earth. And the tip - as if it is not there. I really wanted to notice the difference. I even tried the Lovehoney Positive Vibes vibrator again, which is similar but without the soft tip. No difference in feeling, just no pain, thanks to the rounded head. Disappointed and a little tired, I helped myself to orgasm with my fingers on my clit. So at least I reached the orgasm, even though it was full of bitter feelings.

If you decide to buy an Iroha Rin vibrator, it is better to opt for the Iroha Rin Plus. Besides the fact that it is rechargeable, it also offers four vibration powers, which I missed with Iroha Rin.

Although it is minimalist and, at the same time, aesthetically designed, unfortunately, its operation is also minimalist. Too little vibration powers, use of the batteries. It’s a bit too reminiscent of “bullet” vibrators, which you can get for a few euros today. Despite the superior design, body-friendly silicone, it didn’t live up to my expectations. I would recommend it especially to beginners, but it is better to choose an advanced version.
