Usually, I like to put a nice picture of the product I’m reviewing right up there at the top of the post but in this case, the alternate image I’ve chosen is much more appropriate. I think I hate the Jimmyjane Form 6 ten times as much as I loved the Form 4. How can one company go from knocking it out of the fucking park with one vibrator to a monumental epic fail with another?

I had high hopes for the Form 6 since the Form 4 charmed my clit so brilliantly that it made me a believer in Jimmyjane (however deluded I may have been), despite the reasons to not like them. But the Form 6 is one of the biggest disappointments I’ve had in quite some time. I just can’t really find much of anything to like about it. Of course, as always, this is my opinion only and some folks do like the Form 6 and that fact boggles my weary mind.

It’s just not useful to me as a clitoral or G-spotting vibe. The fact that it has dual motors really seems like such a waste. It doesn’t make the vibrator any better. Actually, I think it just makes it an epic fail times two.do not want cat

Why do I hate it so much? Oh hell… where do I start? Obviously, it pisses me off that it costs as much as it does and sucks so bad. That’s one really good reason to despise it. If I actually recommended this wretched thing (which I unequivocally do not) and someone bought it on my recommendation and spent all that money just to find out how awful it is, I think I’d stop blogging forever and crawl into a hole and die… which sounds like a good idea for the vibe now that I think about it. I can dig a hole and bury it where it can’t infuriate anyone ever again.

Jimmyjane Form 6

Now, I know to be a good reviewer, I have to give you some constructive criticism to justify my hatred for it but really, all I want to do is vitriolically rant and just beg you not to buy it but here goes…

The Good

It’s probably going to be easier to start with the positive aspects of this vibe. It’s made of body-safe phthalates-free silicone. It’s waterproof. It’s easy to clean. It’s rechargeable. There, that’s it.

The Bad

The whole masturbatory experience is totally underwhelming. For $175 I just expect a lot more. I expect it to do things to me that other vibes haven’t. I don’t expect some of my much cheaper vibes to feel a fuck-ton better than this one.

I’m not really seeing the point of the dual motors in this vibe[1. I think the intent was to make it a multifunctional vibe but it is so not.]. It’s not like you can use it for dual stimulation, unless you’re built in a way that I am totally unfamiliar with. Sometimes vibrators with dual motors hit a resonating frequency when they’re both running that feels fantastic. The Form 6 doesn’t do that. Yes, I have reviewed another vibe with dual motors that can’t be used for dual stim but at least it has strong, deep rumbly vibration that actually feels good.

I must concede, the small end can give me clitoral orgasms but so does the Form 4. You pay so much more for the Form 6 because it’s better, right? Right? The vibration in the small end gets kind of buzzy as you increase the intensity. The vibration in the large end is deeper but feels like it’s absorbed by the material around it so, it’s not really good as a clitoral stimulator for me.

Form 6 sucksUsed vaginally, both ends are just a joke. The large end feels like a vibrating cucumber [2. Not that I know what a cucumber in my vag feels like.] and the shape is just… boring. On top of that, while I thrust the large end into me, I can feel the raised (+) (-) and (~) where the buttons are and it annoys the hell out of me. Maybe I just have an extra sensitive vagina – it does cry over sad movies – but I really don’t like how it feels.

Oh, and did you catch that? When using the large end internally, the damn buttons are inside you. While testing this thing, I wanted to increase the intensity and had to pull it out of my vag and try in vain to press the (+) button while the whole damn thing was a slippery mess because… it had just been in my vagina. I came real close to throwing it against the wall at that point but then I thought of the damage it might do to the wall and that would have just added insult to injury. But hey, nothing like having to stop in the middle of masturbating to change the settings on a vibe. Yeah, that’s really conducive to getting off.

Using the small end internally is marginally better and I can get a bit of meager G-spot stimulation out of it. But here again, we have some problems. The buttons are almost all the way inside me depending on how deep I want to go plus, that metal ring was irritating my vaginal walls as I thrust, to the point that I was distracted from what piss poor G-spot stim I was getting.

So to summarize, the Form 6 is a giant waste of money when all I can use it for is a clit vibe with the small end. Why even have a motor in the other end at all? What little this vibe can do for me, the Form 4 does it much better and it doesn’t cost as much.

The Ugly

That god damn seam. The Form 4 had it too but I was willing to let it slide because I loved the vibe so much. The Form 6 does not get a free pass on that seam. For the price of this vibrator it ought to be SEAMLESS. I can buy stuff from Cal Ex at a fraction of the price that doesn’t have a seam like this. So much for luxury, right? And no, Dangerous Lilly did NOT influence my opinion about the seam. It’s stupid. Anyone with two brain cells to rub together knows that it’s stupid.

I don’t think I really need to go into the details and specs of the Form 6. You can get all that from a product description. Plus, I don’t think I could really stand writing anything that’s less than defamatory about this vibe.

So, in case I haven’t made myself unmistakably clear, would I recommend the Form 6 to anyone?

no cat

If you really want something from Jimmyjane, I truly do love the Form 4 and I can recommend that one. A few other vibes that are worthy of a recommendation are the LELO Mona 2, We-Vibe Touch and Lovelife Cuddle.

Thanks to PeepShow Toys for sending me the Form 6 G3[3. G3 means that there were two versions prior to this one that weren’t as good.  I simply can’t imagine how bad they must have sucked.] to review.  It’s a shame I didn’t like it, especially given the cost but sometimes, that’s just how the cookie crumbles.  I cannot tell a lie.

  1. Oh my god. You really did deliver. “The large end feels like a vibrating cucumber.” I spit out my drink. I warned you! I knew this was a piece of shit and I’m pretty sure anyone who says otherwise is just being paid to do so because there is NO FUCKING WAY any actual human would find any value or liking to it. Great review, you actually managed to break down why this is such a piece of garbage and inject just the right amount of sass.

  2. Thanks for the ping back.

    It was my first experience with a vibe like this which may have coloured my review experience. My opinion may change as I try more toys. I do like the big end for deep rumbly external stimulation though. 🙂

    • You don’t have to defend why you like it. 🙂 I linked to you just to show an opposing viewpoint which I sometimes like to do when I’m so harsh on a product.

      • Thanks. I appreciate the link. I agree on the seam though, it’s bloody awful. Really does spoil it.

  3. Now, obviously, you know how much I hate Jimmyjane products. And I’ve, yes, felt justified and felt better in letting my hate out in words in reviews that I felt each item I’ve reviewed has deserved.
    But the Form 6? I couldn’t even. It made my weary with my hatred for it, it just made me sad and I couldn’t even bring myself to write that scathing review. I got it on ToySwap thankfully. and I ended up throwing it away after a year. Thrown in the trash after a couple of irritated attempts at use and a refusal to review.

  4. If you buried it… Someone would find it 1000 years from now and think that is what we used for making dinner or something. Please, just destroy it with fire.

  5. Fab review Dizzy–it’s clear that your sass towards the toy is well deserved…buzzy vibrations/buttons on an insertable part/huge seam/ridiculous price…that photo you chose at the top is fitting. I love the gif too…and how you mentioned that Lilly didn’t influence your noticing the seam…lmao.

  6. When I seen this pop up in my email I was like damn I love her humor with her reviews and all I saw was the Fail on the meter, I knew this was not going to be good. I am sorry to hear you did not like this toy not even one bit.

  7. This review has inspired me to edit my Form 6 review and make it more full of rage. Thank you.

  8. Between the meter image and your comment about your over sensitive vagina I can’t stop laughing.
    Thank you for being you!
