Over the last few years, sex toy companies and stores have asked us to review their toys in exchange for, you know, their toys. Today we’re reviewing Fun Factory’s Be-One!

Fun Factory’s Be-One vibrator promises an “orgasmic touch for couples.” The base of the three-inch toy slides easily between your fingers and is meant to enhance your boring non-vibrator hands. “You’re the vibrator now,” the website says.
It’s a fun concept and the toy is comfortable to “wear,” even if some of its uses seem to be more effective than others. It’s unlikely to become your new favorite toy, but it’s a pleasurable addition to your collection.
The suggested uses of the toy include slipping it between you or your partner’s labia, wearing it during foreplay as you touch your partner anywhere on their body, and using it to stroke you or your partner’s perineum. Neither myself or either partner I used the toy with have a labia, so I’ll only be reviewing the latter two uses – as well as an additional use not explicitly recommended.
The toy works well as an extra vibrating finger. It fit nicely between my actual fingers and was comfortable to keep in place as I touched my partners’ nipples and moved it around their bodies. The vibration is definitely strong enough for this kind of touch and the “flirt” setting that unpredictably varies the vibration is especially fun.
Use on the perineum, however, was not as easy. The end of the toy isn’t bent at enough of an angle to allow for the same casual application. It’s possible to use in this way, but it does take a bit more effort that seemingly defeats the purpose of this particular toy. The vibration isn’t as powerful as some other toys, so without the plus of it feeling part of your hand there’s no reason to prioritize this for that kind of stimulation.
The Be-One vibrator is specifically for couples and I appreciated the small, easy-to-clean plastic case the toy comes with. I was able to slip it in my purse before a date and have it ready to use back at her place.
But I did also use the toy by myself and in some ways this was its most effective use. I usually masturbate by placing a magic wand on the head of my penis and tried trading that out for the Be-One vibrator. While significantly less powerful, the ease of use made for a really relaxing – if more prolonged – masturbation session. Sometimes it’s nice to masturbate without toys, sometimes it’s nice to masturbate with the most powerful toy, but this provided a really enjoyable in-between option.
You heard it here first, folks. Be-One vibrator for couples? Better on your own!
