Best toy my husband every bought me December 15, 2009 N. Cochran (DC) This is the best toy that my husband every bought me, before he went on deployment. The rechargeable aspect is fantastic, though now after 3+ years of use I need to replace it as it is loosing power.
You should keep it plugged in whenever it’s not being used because it will loose it’s charge over time.
Think It Is Great! August 27, 2009 Tall Gal (California) My husband purchased this for me for my birthday and let me say that it is the gift that keeps on giving! I love it. I use it as a “personal” massager and compared to other massagers of the same type, this works better. I especially like the high setting. (It is noisy on high.) I have never felt it heat up as it claims to do but that is not why I wanted it.
Orgasmic Experience! August 4, 2009 Missy Belle (Clinton, Iowa, USA) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Let me start by saying that I am a 28 year old woman who has never had an orgasm. I saw this product on Oprah and was convinced other products could do the job. I tried other toys and was unsuccessful. After the hoopla over the Aphrodite died down I decided to make the purchase. After all, Dr. Berman herself calls it “the sure thing.” Ladies, let me tell you she isn’t lying!
I’ve read the other reviews on here and must say there is some truth in the negativity. It is rather large and can be loud (especially on high). There were no directions/ diagrams included as it says on the side of the box. However, I bought this product to achieve orgasm for the first time and it did its job perfectly.
Great on necks and good source of shared time between him and I. June 22, 2009 Cyn Day (Monroe, NC) Seems to be a good product. So far only used it as a massager, but it works great on my back and neck muscles. It gives us quality time to spend on just us.
What You Should Know Before You Get An Aphrodite June 11, 2009 Colorado Goddess (Boulder, Colorado) 18 out of 19 found this review helpful
I was not as impressed with the Aphrodite for a few reasons, and I began to research what other customers were saying about it. During my search, I came across a really informative holistic sex toy company online (Holistic Wisdom) that had an in-depth article about the Aphrodite and why it is not a “sure thing,” rather an average body massager. The article summed up exactly why I was not that impressed and is really thought provoking if you want to learn more about this and other vibrators on the market with some cool new vibes that women are raving about. Another interesting story they delve into is why the product was backordered for so many months. It seems Oprah sparked a frenzy for it like she does for so many other products she endorses.
Below are reasons why I was not as impressed with the Aphrodite which were also mentioned in the article, so I am not the only one who noticed these things-
The Aphrodite is often complained about because it is a rechargeable vibrator and requires a 24 hour charge before you use it the first time. Most people think you can charge for less but you will end up with it not working for very long if you do that. In addition, you should charge it for about 12 hours thereafter, and you cannot use it while it is charging. This is one reason why many women prefer a battery operated or electrical corded vibrator so they do not have to contend with these disruptions. Nothing like having it stop working when you are in the middle of using it!
The Aphrodite does not get that warm and can only be used for about 15 minutes when you have both the vibe and infrared on before it runs out of juice.
The Aphrodite does not provide both types of stimulation. Many women are opting for dual action vibrators that can stimulate both of the sensitive spots on a woman for sexual arousal.
The Aphrodite is a very large vibrator is more intended to all over body massage. It is also a bit on the loud side and there are many vibrators that are much smaller, and quieter for women interested in them.
Finally, no vibrator is a sure thing as Oprah said. All women have different needs and there are many vibrators on the market. One thing the article on Holistic Wisdom pointed out, is that due to lack of FDA regulations (because sex toys are still classified as novelties and are not subject to such scrutiny) many products out there today contain toxins called phthalates. It is important to get a non-toxic product, particularly if you are inserting it. They review what toys are safe and what are not. The Aphrodite is Phthalate free and Hypo-allergenic.
As to why I like the Aphrodite-
It is a nice overall body massager, although as that holistic sex toy company pointed out, there are many body massagers on the market and the Aphrodite is an average one. It is a cute color and it does provide a good level of vibration.
Overall, I think it deserves a 2.5 rating and I am glad to see others agree. If you decide to get it, some companies are giving away a free Berman sex toy cleaner with it.
