After trying my first Fun Factory vibrator, the VIM wand, I instantly became hooked. Their motors are incredible! Which made me really excited to try the Stronic Petite pulsating vibrator. Even before my first use, I felt confident that Fun Factory wouldn’t let me down here.
That being said…
I was disappointed to hear that Fun Factory was bought by Satisfyer, though. Fun Factory has a history of being one of the best manufacturers out there, and now their future is a bit unclear. I hope that Fun Factory’s high standards of innovation, technology, employee treatment, and customer service are continued to be met by their new owner.
Fun Factory is a brand I’ll be keeping an eye on to see how their business progresses now that they’re no longer independently owned.
In the meantime, however, let’s talk about the Fun Factory Stronic Petite Pulsator!
Meet the Vibrator
The Stronic Petite is a quiet, pulsating dildo. It’s the smallest pulsator in Fun Factory’s catalog with a contoured surface was designed to stimulate nerves inside of the vaginal canal or as an external massager to stimulate the clitoris. In fact, this pulsating vibrator is intended to improve vaginal health and increase libido for people going through menopause.
To clarify, I am switching back and forth between “vibrator” and “pulsator”, but the truth is that this is a pulsating or thrusting dildo. There aren’t any actual vibrations. It uses magnets to drive a counterweight inside that makes the toy move back and forth.
It boasts 5 steady speeds and 3 patterns, a memory function, and travel lock, plus it’s waterproof, and made with body-safe silicone.
Inside the box, you’ll find a charging cable and a thorough user manual/booklet full of information about the pulsator and upping your masturbation game. A card included in the box shares some really interesting information, including “A 2019 independent sexologist study found that 15 minutes of daily massage with one of our pulsators for 30 days will increase both vaginal sensitivity and desire for sex.” Further results are listed on the card as well as a link to further information.
Pros:
- Tapered tip for comfortable, easy insertion
- Body safe silicone
- Waterproof & rechargeable
- Travel lock
- Memory function
- Has nice squish, especially at the tip
Cons:
- Long charging time (6 hours? are you kidding me?!)
- Short pulsations may not be enough for some
- The silicone has a lot of drag & picks up lint very easily
How to Use the Fun Factory Stronic Petite
After you’ve let your vibrator charge for about 6 hours and you’ve washed the toy, you’re ready to rock! To unlock the toy, press the + and Fun buttons at the same time. The buttons will blink and the toy will buzz. To turn on the pulsator, press the Fun button for half a second. To cycle through the speeds and patterns, click or hold the + button. To lower the speeds or cycle through the patterns, click or hold the – button. To turn the vibe off, click the Fun button.
The travel lock can be turned on by pressing the – and Fun button at the same time. It will blink and buzz briefly. To unlock again, press the + and Fun button at the same time.
Fun Factory suggests 3 positions to use the Stronic Petite:
- External clitoral stimulator
- Hands-free doggystyle
- Internal while simultaneously stimulating the clitoris
Cleaning & Caring for the Stronic Petite Pulsator
To charge the Fun Factory Stronic Petite Pulsator, plug the included charging cord into a charging brick and attach it to the magnetic charging port on the bottom of the vibrator. If the – button blinks, it’s at less than 33% power, if the + button blinks, it’s at 66% or less, and if the Fun button blinks, 99% charged. If the lights are out, it’s ready for use!
As far as lube goes, Fun Factory says to only use water-based lubricants. Do not use any oils or silicone-based lube with this toy! To clean, use your favorite toy cleaner or a gentle, unscented soap.
My Thoughts
From the moment I pulled Stronic Petite out of the box, I could feel the luxury. It’s not a lightweight toy, but it’s not heavy either. The silicone isn’t my favorite, it has a lot of drag which I don’t love. But it does have more squish than I expected it to have, especially at the tip.
After I [not so] patiently waited for the toy to charge up, I gave it a good wash and laid down in my preferred masturbation position: on my back. I lubed the toy up and slid it in, powering it on and enjoying the ride. I was concerned I wouldn’t love this toy because I have a Tantus dildo, the Echo, that has a sort of similar contour design to it and I don’t enjoy the “in & out” with that dildo. However, when I used the Fun Factory Stronic Petite, the “in & out” strokes weren’t as dramatic as I thought they might be. Instead, they were short strokes, gentle strokes. Despite my initial worry, I really enjoyed this vibe.
The doggystyle position that Fun Factory recommended was not for me. Mainly because unless I’m using an actual fuck machine, doggystyle isn’t a comfortable masturbation position for me. I was able to do this hands-free with my butt up in the air, but to keep myself ass up, face down long enough to achieve orgasm with this vibe just wasn’t working for me. I preferred being on my back with my hips propped up on a pillow.
Pairing the Petite Stronic with a clitoral vibrator was next level amazing. I let the Stronic Petite do it’s thing, hands-free, while I held a bullet vibe on my clit, and wow wow wow. My orgasm was intense. I couldn’t get enough and kept reaching for this vibrator combo over and over again. I do prefer using the Stronic Petite with an external vibrator, as it made it easier to achieve orgasm. Without the external vibrator, it felt really good but it took longer to achieve orgasm.
I think that if there was a more dramatic curve or larger tip, this would have been fantastic for g-spot stimulation, but as is, it needed the assist IMO.
As I work on getting rid of a lot of my belongings for my upcoming international move, I decided that the Fun Factory Stronic Petite is absolutely coming with me. It’s too good to leave behind or get rid of!
Final Notes on Fun Factory Stronic Petite
Since I’m not menopausal, I can’t speak to this vibrator’s efficacy on libido during menopause. But what I can say is that this pulsator was not what I expected in the best way possible. I really, really enjoyed it. Whenever it ran out of battery, I made sure to plug it in to charge up as soon as I possible could. It’s a really well made vibrator!
I wish the charging time was shorter, but a single charge is supposed to last up to 3 hours, which is great battery life so it’s hard to be too annoyed by the charging time.
As far as the findings of the study included in the packaging, I already experience a lot of vaginal sensitivity and enjoy sex a lot, but if someone is struggling with low libido or needs help with vaginal sensitivity, this could be a great pulsator for them.
Overall, I really like it and I’d highly recommend the Fun Factory Stronic Petite!
