Nexus Vibro: Worth Twice the Titus?

The Vibro is a Titus that can vibrate. So the question is: Does adding the possibility of vibration make it worth over twice the money? For me, the answer is: No. The vibration adds very little to my experience when I use the Vibro the same way I'd use a Titus, and it is simply too weak to make the Vibro work well when used just as a vibrator.

The Nexus Vibro is essentially a hollow Nexus Titus that holds a vibrator. It's intended to be used anally by people who have prostates, in such a way as to stimulate the prostate to produce sensual pleasure and so-called "prostate" orgasms. It can be used solo or during sex with a partner.

The promise of this toy is that it can be used three ways.

1. It can be used without vibration, as a Titus. One inserts it into the anal canal and then does something to cause it to move around and stroke the prostate. As I explain in my review of the& Titus, it can be controlled manually, via the handle, as well as via the "clenching" method pioneered by the good folks at Aneros: Clench your PC muscles around the toy, but not all the way, trying to maintain about a "half squeeze". This causes the muscles around the anus to clench and release, over and over, and the massager to twitch back and forth, magically stroking the prostate, with all the benefits that entails.
2. Second, one can use the Vibro as a prostate vibrator, inserting it into the rectum and letting the vibration do all the work.
3. Third, one can use the Vibro as a Titus that vibrates. That's probably the main way it's intended to be used.

The big question, of course, is how well the second or third way works. Otherwise, you've just got an extra-expensive Titus.

Design

As I've been saying, the Nexus Vibro is basically a Titus with a vibrator in it. So see the review of the Titus for the basic details on the design.

The vibrator fits into a hollow in the insertable portion. The vibrator itself is stainless steel, and, although it fits tightly into the hollow, it is also easy to remove, which is obviously good for cleaning. It uses a 6V battery that is half the size of a AA, and one is included. The vibrator is controlled by a small button on the end. I've found it to be easy enough to use and fairly reliable. You hold the button down for a second or so to turn it on or off, and just press it quickly to switch between settings. There are five settings: slower and faster continuous vibration, and three different "pulsing" sorts of vibrations.

Evaluation

As I write, the Titus is about $70, whereas the Vibro is around $150. Is the Vibro worth more than twice the money? Speaking, of course, just on the basis of my own experience: No, it's not.

As I remarked in my review of it, the Titus is one of my favorite prostate toys, and it is definitely my favorite toy of the non-vibrating, PC-muscle controlled variety. I also happen to like prostate toys that vibrate. So, as you might imagine, I was very excited to try the Vibro.

As I mentioned above, you can use the Vibro three ways: just like a Titus; as a vibrating massager; or as a Titus that vibrates. So I'll talk about each way of using it.

Used as a Titus, the Vibro works like a Titus, which, in my case, means it works great. But you don't spend twice the money on the Vibro just for that.

Used simply as a vibrator, it's fine and I'm able to reach orgasm with it. But, frankly, the orgasms are a bit of a struggle and end up being kind of weak because the vibrator itself is too weak. There's just not enough power there to really get me going. I have much better luck with Fun Factory's Duke or Lelo's Billy, both of which are less money.

The main way the Vibro is meant to be used, though, is surely as a Titus that vibrates: i.e., one is meant to use the "clenching" method with the vibrator activated. But the vibration adds almost nothing to my experience. When I'm "clenching" and the Vibro is massaging my prostate, in fact, I can barely feel the vibrations, and, in so far as I do, I sometimes find them just to be distracting.

Conclusion

The Vibro does almost nothing for me that the Titus doesn't already do. Save your money.
