I had lusted after a soft, squishy clitoral vibrator for quite a long time and therefore I didn't hesitate for a bit when I noticed this lovely iroha had appeared in the sale offer.

Once my parcel had arrived (via superswift international delivery), I went to rip the dull FedEx box open to unveil the stylish packaging of my new iroha - it is basically a black sleeve with a picture of a Midori-like shape on the front and a photo of an actual iroha on the back. Within this sleeve there are encased two little boxes. The white one contains a charger (you can charge your iroha either via an USB port, or via the good ol' mains charging cable) while the green one holds the plastic case where you will find your Midori, fast asleep, waiting for you to put it into action. Both the packaging and the toy itself are so cute that I wouldn't be likely to feel any embarrassment should a family member come across them. Everything is stylish, sleek and cute, no need to cringe.

Upon taking the toy out to have a good look at it, I immediately noticed this was the softest, squishiest vibrator one could possibly imagine. When I pressed it against my skin, it seemed to mould against it, caressing it in the most pleasant way. Ah, well, time to charge the little pear so that I can find out what it might be capable of.

Before I took my Midori off its charging dock, I had gone through the set of instructions which was indeed comprehensive. You learn you should always turn the toy off after use (who would think of that?); you shouldn't use it under blankets (overheating may cause fire - well, that's slightly over the top warning, too); you should not attempt to customize the device in any way (very interesting warning indeed); but also that you should only use water-based lube (unless you particularly want to ruin the surface and shape of your toy, of course); that you shouldn't pour any water on the charging base and that, while you can this toy run under the tap (though you should NOT attempt to use it in shower or in any environment with high humidity); you should avoid using tepid or hot water - apparently, the Midori prefers to stay cold - or cool.

I could hardly wait to try out my iroha properly - and I wasn't disappointed. Having coated it with a bit of lube, I pressed the plus button and it sprang to life. Whichever area of my body I massaged with it, the vibrations felt very good, a both soothing and a bit arousing. I turned up the power and went on to stimulate my labia and clit and oh my, it felt wonderful. The surface of the Midori is so soft, yet the vibrations are very strong - a mighty combination of sensations that pushed me into a very satisfying orgasm in a few minutes.

After use, I wiped the excess lube off the device and ran it carefully (I wouldn't want any water to ruin the controls) with cold water. Afterwards, I sprayed it with the LH sex toy cleaner, gently washed it, rinsed everything off with water, wiped it dry-ish with a soft cloth and left it in the bathroom to air-dry properly. Such a fantastic little device needs proper care, doesn't it?

Seeing the case is also a charging dock for the toy, I keep my Midori in it instead of a "traditional" toy bag - it looks nice, after all, and it is also fairly small.

I am quite surprised this lovely little product with three speeds and one pattern is being discontinued, and I am also slightly baffled by some iroha reviews that mention unpleasant stench these toys are supposed to emit - I sniffed my Midori very thoroughly and, while it is not completely odourless, I only smell a very, very faint silicone-y something, very similar to the odour I associate with Lelo toys (and this odour is actually more pronounced in the Lelo products).

Bottom line - I am very satisfied with this, particularly for 40 GBP. The Midori is very small, cuddly, squishy, yet powerful. I don't miss more patterns (I am usually more likely to enjoy "steady" power, anyway), and the only drawbacks are the fact it is not waterproof (shame, I love inviting my toys to take a bath with me) and that it doesn't have a travel lock.
