Sex toys come in many shapes and sizes, from “realistic” penis dildos and sensual massagers to metallic bullet vibrators that look exactly like, well, bullets. Then there’s the Hot Octopuss Queen Bee clitoral stimulator. It’s not exactly going to win many prizes in a beauty contest (it’s matt grey and looks like a sort of old-school microphone or a bristle-less brush) and it doesn’t really look like it belongs in your naughty drawer, but, trust me, it so does.

Let’s Talk Details
First, a little bit more about the clitoral stimulator du jour: the Queen Bee features Hot Octopuss’ oscillating PulsePlate Technology (originally used in their Pulse range of products for men) and has two sides (duh, but hear me out). One is smooth and can be used to provide you with a gentle external massage (a warm-up to the main event, if you will), while the other features the PulsePlate, which offers powerful oscillations in six different patterns. Unlike other, more conventional sex toys, the Queen Bee uses a patented piston-like system that emits high-amplitude, powerful “oscillations” rather than low-amplitude “vibrations” – technology originally used in the medical world. Hot Octopuss is the first company to bring it to the sex toy market.
So, why add this clitoral stimulator to your collection? Well, more orgasms, for one. The two sides let you choose what you’re in the mood for and with six different settings, you’ll be able to find what works best for you. A fan of taking things into the water? No problem. The Queen Bee is completely waterproof, so can be enjoyed while you bath or shower. It also charges easily with a magnetic charging cable with a USB adaptor and will give you four hours of buzz with only an hour’s charge.

Good Vibes Only
So, what’s it like to use? Although it looks quite unwieldy, it’s very easy and comfortable to hold in position and it isn’t heavy at all, so you won’t get any cramps in your hand, wrist or arm. It’s also very simple to use with only four buttons to worry about: the “on” button, the “oscillation” button (it lets you change between the six oscillation patterns) and two “plus” and “minus” buttons that let you increase or decrease all the good vibes.
One (of the many) things I really appreciate about the Queen Bee is that it has two sides – the smooth side really does let you “warm up” and get in the mood before jumping straight into the powerful oscillations of the PulsePlate (because let’s be honest, when you’re testing sex toys, the beginning of the testing can sometimes feel a bit like work and not super sexy). But once you’re ready to go, the PulsePlate makes short work of helping you reach climax. Really short work. Like, if it was a guy, you’d be complaining to your girlfriends as soon as he’d left your place.

Another amazing thing is that you don’t have to do anything other than hold it in place. That’s it. No movement necessary. The oscillations are powerful enough to work their magic on their own. And you’ll definitely be able to find a pattern that works for you, whether it’s the continuous buzz or short, staccato pulses that leave you itching for the next one. I liked playing around with the different patterns, but the continuous buzz definitely worked the best for me. One thing to note: if you’re living with roommates, make sure there’s some ambient noise before you switch the Queen Bee on – she gives off quite a rumble.
Final Thoughts
So, would I recommend the Queen Bee to my fellow females? Why, yes, yes I would. It’s so easy to use, you can’t go wrong. For me, simple is always better. I really don’t need a toy to come with a whole lot of fancy bells and whistles and promise breakfast the next morning – a guaranteed orgasm will be just fine. The Queen Bee is sturdy, dependable, user-friendly and has put all its focus on where it needs to be – in providing easy-to-achieve orgasms on demand.
