The Better Sex Synergy Pleasure System – oscillating massager

Oh boy. This is a hard review to write.  I’ll be up front right from the get go and say, yes, I have compared this to the Eroscillator and yes, it loses in a blazing crash of defeat when you make that comparison.  I’m going to try to review the Better Sex Synergy Pleasure System on it’s own merits, however, without constant comparisons because every toy deserves that.  If you’re making the choice between the two, however, and the only thing that has the BSSPS winning out is the price – save, splurge and go for the Eroscillator.  The BSSPS is okay but it’s a 3 star toy.  The Eros is a five.

And now, on to the actual review.

The Better Sex Synergy Pleasure System is an oscillating massager with multiple attachments you use on a very clinical looking base.  One of it’s best features is its clean, clinical look, which makes it very non threatening even for those who are nervous about sex toys.  No giant cock heads or veiny shafts like realistic toys, no massive, 800 pound handle with a huge ball for a head like the Hitachi and other massagers, just a nice, green and white tool that looks sort of like something you’d see at the dentist’s office.

It’s other amazing feature is that, unlike traditional vibrators, which run by the motor twirling an off center weight to create vibrations, the BSSPS oscillates – or moves in a side to side sort of motion.  I’m not good at technical details but oscillations are supposed to be less numbing and provide a deeper, more intense orgasm.  The BSSPS can oscillate up to 12,000 times per minute – which, the best way I can describe, is rather like someone running their finger back and forth across your clit at super human speed without ever becoming tired.

The BSSPS is rechargeable – it comes with a charging cord and what appear to be rechargeable C cell batteries inside its shaft.  You plug it in, let it charge overnight and you’re good to go.  You don’t have to leave it plugged in which means you can take it anywhere in your house (or out of it!) and not be hampered by a cord. In fact, it won’t run while plugged in.  You can also twist open the base, remove the included rechareable batteries and use regular C batteries if you’re traveling and not near an outlet to charge it.  The BSSPS gets a super high rating for convenience, that’s for sure!

It comes with 5 different heads that attach to the shaft by lining them up and twisting them on.  I have read complaints about these – how they’re hard to get on, break, are a pain to get off, aren’t sturdy, etc. I believe the people who have made those complaints are simply being impatient and snobby (doing the “compared to the Eroscillator” thing) because I have had absolutely no issues with the heads other than one having come broken in the box.  The shaft is plainly marked in three places – close, open, close – and each attachment has a little arrow on the outside that lines up with this text.  Place the attachment on with the arrow lining up with the open text and then twist either left or right.  This will lock the attachment into the closed position.  It also allows you to choose which way you want the attachment to face, which is super handy, since you can then hold the shaft in a way that is most comfortable for you.  To remove, you reverse the procedure. Easy peasy lemon squeezy.

The attachments are simple and have enough variations that nearly anyone should be able to find one that does it for them. All are made from a firm, latex free rubber that feels a lot like plastic to me.

There is one that looks like rabbit ears, though they are close together and do not separate.  Another looks like a hooked little finger.  A third resembles an ice cream scoop on one side, the other side being convex and textured with wavy lines.  The fourth looks like a road cone with bumpy ball on the end and the fifth is another dual sided; about an inch long, tapered on one side, a small, clit cupping concave divet on the other.

All the attachments stimulate in different ways but all are definitely quite firm, not at all squishy.  The best way to find out which works for you is to experiment!  You’ll know when you’ve found the ones that feel best to you, for sure.  Personally, I like the finger-ish one and the two with the “cups” on the ends best.  I’m not at all fond of the bumpy ball or the bunny ears.

Once you have the attachment you like attached, the BSSPS is operated by pressing buttons on it’s bottom.  There is a dedicated off button which allows you to shut the toy off at any time, quickly, and two vibration level buttons.  There are a total of 6 speeds of oscillation that increase in small, gradual increments.

The BSSPS, as mentioned, really does look quite clinical and discreet.  Most people aren’t going to look at it twice and, if the heads aren’t attached, will probably think it’s an electric toothbrush of pore opening, fancy facial scrubber.  It’s ten inches long with a bend at the tip of the handle/shaft to more easily angle it toward your body.  Each attachment is around two inches long and all are slim and meant more for clitoral stimulation than insertion.  The shaft is around an inch and a half in diameter – it fits quite comfortably in my hand and has a texture to the plastic as well as rubber grips to keep it from getting too slippery.

It all sounds really good, right?  And it is.  It’s fairly quiet and has moderate, non threatening power, great for beginners.  The issue I have with it is pressure.  When you turn it on, you can see the attachments moving rapidly from side to side and the oscillations feel great in use – so long as you don’t press on it.  Even a fairly small amount of pressure greatly reduces the already moderate vibrations – which means those who need a lot of power are going to hate it and want to throw it out the window.  I don’t necessarily need a lot of pressure and I don’t need monster levels of vibration, but even I get a little stressed out with it.

As for oscillations over vibrations – there is definitely a difference, though it’s very hard to explain.  The feeling is more subtle with oscillations and seems to go a bit deeper, creating longer, stronger orgasms.

I really wish I could rave about the BSSPS but the fact is, the lack of a soft attachment and the issues with pressure, combined with the very moderate vibrations, totally negate the pros of being cordless and able to use standard C batteries.  It’s nice, it’s okay, but it’s a solid 3 star toy, nothing to write home to mom about.  I think this could be a really good beginner toy, for someone who felt really intimidated by regular vibrators and who wanted something different and not overly strong.  For those who already have some experience, though, it’s just not going to measure up to much more reasonable bullets and other vibes, despite it’s oscillations.

Because it’s plastic and rubber, clean with soap and water, being careful not to get the charging port wet since it’s not waterproof.  Don’t share, because rubber can’t be sterilized and the attachments can’t really be covered with a condom.
