SaSi Vibrator
Jan 27th, 2010 by Domina Doll
The SaSi vibrator invented by British company Je Joue has been touted as the best thing since sliced bread. Well, maybe not sliced bread, but it was named the best sex toy of 2009 by Cosmo magazine and 1 of the top 10 toys of 2008 by Fleshbot. And, while it can’t slice your bread, it is supposed to be the closest thing to cunninglingus next to a real life tongue. (Yes, even better than the most excessively promoted sex toy this year, the Sqweel [my review]).
So, what’s the hype all about?
To be honest, I have been one of the many sex toy reviewers who have been craving to get their pussy next to a SaSi. Who wouldn’t want to try a “sexual intelligence” sex toy that claims to mimic oral sex and learns what you like, just like a lover? But are these claims true?
Yes. The SaSi does feel as close as a sex toy can get to a good clitty lickin’. Under a soft silicone stretchy surface, a little pleasure nub sticks out to rub and titillate your clit. Depending on your mode, this nub strokes, circles and flickers, much like a real tongue, while you control the speed and vibration.
Pre-Programmed Mode
The nub has five settings in the pre-programmed mode, which are the most favored among the test users. You can cycle through the modes by pressing the next button, or go back. It is a good way to first get introduced to the various motions of the nub, before trying the Custom Mode out.
Custom Mode
In Custom Mode the SaSi tries various movements which you can pass on by pressing the next button, or tell SaSi you like it, by clicking “Don’t Stop”. Gradually, SaSi remembers your likes and dislikes and eventually changes the Pre-Programmed Mode to your favorites.
Getting to Know Your SaSi
Like a lover, the SaSi requires a bit of time to get to know her. She becomes a better lover over time, once she gets to know what you like, and once you get used to her functions. She’s much more sophisticated than any wham-bam-thank-you-ma’m vibrator and therefore requires more romance before you get down and bed her. Give the SaSi time to show you her moves so you can make the most out of what she has to offer.
Design
The SaSi is curved to fit neatly between the labia and hug the clitoris. It takes a while to position the SaSi perfectly, so the nub moves around and touches the clit in just the right way. Lube is a must and while it takes a bit of trial and error, you’ll know when you got it in just the right place. In Custom Mode I recommend going slowly through the modes and trying each one as you move the SaSi around to find the best feel. If it’s not working for you, move on. When you do find one you like, hit the “Don’t Stop” but then continue on as SaSi just might surprise you with other tricks up her sleeve. You will find that the SaSi will perform better the second time you use her than the first, as there is a bit of a learning curve with using her.
Controls
I found the buttons a bit difficult to use at first. This is because I have long fingernails, and it makes it hard to push the buttons, especially the next button when in use. After a bit, I was better able to control the buttons with practice using the pads of my fingers.
Power
The SaSi needs to be charged before using. She comes with several plug adapters for use in the North America, UK, Europe, and Australia. Just plug her in and her indicator will be red when uncharged which turns to green when fully charged.
The SaSi also vibrates in addition to the nubby motions it makes. On high, this vibration is pretty good (not mind blowing, but satisfactory and comparable with Lelo’s). Combined with the nub movements, it is enough to get you over the edge to orgasm.
The SaSi is more of a slow seduction that will allow you to gradually build to orgasm, rather than a Va-voom, rock-your-world kind of sex toy. People who rely on the Hitachi would hate it. However, if you are into a slow, seductive evening of self-pleasure, then the SaSi is your gal.

Ooh, I was just looking at Sasi at a store the other day but decided to hold off and read some reviews before jumping in. Is the vibration controlled separately from the moving nub thingy, or does it always vibrate?
