Jimmyjane Little Chroma Review

The gorgeous Little Chroma from Jimmyjane is a classic slimline vibrator. In fact itโ€™s such a classic that weโ€™re giving it a second look after two and a half years, and in that time some things have certainly changed.

First (and possible most importantly) the price has significantly dropped. It used to sell for a steep ยฃ130, but now some colors can be had for less than a single benjamin. Nifty. If an unadorned solid color isnโ€™t fancy enough for your favorite vagina, check out some of the artist-designed special edition versions now available at

 

One of the coolest things about Little Chroma is that if you wear out the vibrating motor, ยฃ30 will buy you a new one directly from Jimmyjane. Iโ€™m terribly hard on my vibes (perhaps because I use them for an hour at a stretch, ahem), so I love this option. The motor looks exactly like an AA battery, but donโ€™t worry about tossing it out by mistake. Itโ€™s clearly labeled in big, friendly letters.

Little Chroma is one of the quietest vibes Iโ€™ve ever experienced. The only time itโ€™s not nearly silent is when you first turn it on, and then only because the cap wonโ€™t be screwed down firmly enough to prevent the battery from rattling a bit. Once you get past this point, however, the vibe cannot be heard at armโ€™s length. This is an excellent quality in any vibe youโ€™re planning on using in a shared space.

Thereโ€™s a tiny hole in Little Chromaโ€™s end through which one could thread a cord for retrieval during anal usage. Honestly though, I wouldnโ€™t. Use it on the anus but not for insertion. Your fancy vibe will lose its cachet once the emergency room doctors have removed it from your colon.

Iโ€™ve enjoyed tucking this tiny vibe into my pillow for quick wank sessions before bed. Itโ€™s so tiny that itโ€™s easily hidden away, but donโ€™t let the size fool you. Little Chroma is nicely powerful, even though thereโ€™s just one speed. I enjoyed it the most when used in conjunction with my partnerโ€™s penetration. The small size make this little sex toy easy to position between bodies during intercourse or in conjunction with dildo play.

The only thing I didnโ€™t like about Little Chroma is the fact that you must loosen the battery compartment cover in order to turn off the vibe. This, to me, is a huge pain in the butt, because when Iโ€™m done with a vibe I can barely summon the wherewithal to click a single button. Negotiating a tiny cap that threatens to fall off and set loose battery and motor to skitter across my bed (and no doubt lodge in the small of my back just when I want to get cuddly) is not very convenient.

Going too far makes the cap fall off, while not going far enough leaves the vibe buzzing so gently that you wonโ€™t even know it unless you put it down on a hard surface, in which case Little Chroma will merrily dance away and concurrently run down your batteries. I wish the vibe had a discrete โ€œoffโ€ position marked by a little click. Is that too much to ask for from a high-end vibe?

Even with a sketchy off switch, Iโ€™m absolutely certain that Iโ€™ll use Little Chroma again and again. Iโ€™ll be interested in seeing how long the motor lasts with the kind of use I can dish out.
