Whether using my own hand or any of the aforementioned types of vibrators, I\u2019ll get there eventually with the right mood-setting material and consistent, up-and-down strokes of my clitoral hood. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When I got sent a SONA to test, I wasn\u2019t as totally surprised by its <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mariowiki.com\/Birdo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Birdo-esque design<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> as I feel many of my friends were when they finally saw it. I\u2019ve tried a few of the \u2018suction-based\u2019 toys that have hit the market in the past few years (like Womanizer and Satisfyer) so its shape didn\u2019t shock me &#8211; but that\u2019s not to say the sensation didn\u2019t. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-18156\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/LELO-SONA-Magenta-Front-of-Product.gif\" alt=\"Sona nozzle\" width=\"471\" height=\"265\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Simply put, SONA doesn\u2019t suck. Instead, it uses a small \u2018pad\u2019 instead of the mouth-bit that taps up and down really fast (without actually touching my clit &#8211; I suppose it could touch someone else\u2019s if it was small enough to get in there). It\u2019s kinda like having a message in morse-code tapped out on my clitoris &#8211; I don\u2019t know exactly what it was saying but it had <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">me<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> saying \u2018Oh good god!\u2019 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To clarify, SONA is not the first toy for me to use \u2018hands\u2019 free as it were (ie without interference from my fingers) but what sets it apart from suction-based toys is that while those you need to keep in place to maintain a seal, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/sona\">SONA<\/a> you can move around as you need or want. With a wider body to SONA, I can hold it between my legs and let it tap-tap-tap me to an intense orgasm. <\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>And I\u2019m not kidding when I say intense. An orgasm will sneak up on you before you know you\u2019re coming, and manages to \u2018reverberate\u2019 for a fairly extended orgasm, especially in my \u2018hands-free\u2019 method. \u00a0<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It may not be my first choice when it comes to spending a lazy Sunday left to my own devices, but SONA brings an intensity to my masturbation that give it a coveted spot in my bedside top drawer, and I while I would recommend it to anyone as a solid to, I also would say I think this toy specifically would be a good choice for those looking to switch up their \u2018normal\u2019 \u00a0routine, and for those who maybe haven\u2019t figured out what magic pattern makes them come yet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Related:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/sona-2-clinical-study\/\"><strong>Does SONA 2 Intensify Orgasms?
