I took out a sex toy today that I haven’t had a chance to examine yet, it is a plug from Svakom called “Primo”. I was really impressed by the way Svakom Primo looked. There is a picture of it on the packaging but it really doesn’t do it justice. I keep finding myself glancing over at it whilst it recharges. I have liked all the Svakom adult lifestyle products I have come across so far. I am not alone with this opinion as so far they have won multiple awards including the German IF Design Award, Reddot Award and the Golden Pin Design Award.

Svakom Primo is no ordinary plug, it warms up and is remotely controlled. Svakom Primo is the only heated butt plug I have come across. I haven’t had a problem with a cold bum myself but I know that a lot of people like temperature play. People who like temperature play often choose materials that adapt to temperatures like steel or glass.

Svakom market the Primo as a unisex sex toy which can be used internally or externally for vaginal play. The Svakom Primo also looks like a butt plug because the base is flared making it safe for anal play. It can’t be emphasised enough how important it is to always use sex toys in butt play that are designed for that purpose. Anal sex toys must either have a cord or flange to make sure nothing gets sucked up there and to ensure you can always retrieve it if it does.

Svakom Primo comes in a nice sturdy expensive looking black box, it looks like a jewellery box. This box would be perfect for long-term storage of the sex toy. There is a sleeve around the box that has a picture of the product but as I said, this picture really doesn’t do it justice. Neither does the website in my opinion. Inside the box, Primo is mounted alongside the remote control on a foam board. In the compartment underneath you get a storage bag, charger cord, warranty card, instruction manual and a spare remote battery.

The Svakom Primo and remote control are made of phthalate free body safe silicone, which is also environmentally friendly. The silicone is powdery and smooth. It is right up there with all the other luxury brands. It is a fairly slender plug measuring 26 x 120mm. It is softly rounded and slightly larger at the top end. It comes in a colour choice of burgundy or black. On the base of the sex toy, there is a rose gold metallic disc with the Svakom logo on. The lettering lights up when the sex toy is charging and looks really expensive. It was actually this light up feature that I couldn’t stop staring at and this that made me want to review it. It is charged using a USB cord and you get an hours play on maximum for only 2 hours charging.

Svakom Primo is firm and inflexible. The remote operates separately from the sex toy and is wireless. It seemed to function fairly successfully in the limited tests I was able to perform. The sex toy can be operated by itself using a single button on the flared base (Press the button for 2 seconds for on and off. Single click the button two, to switch through the 5 different modes. Double click the button to switch through the 5 intensities.). I haven’t come across a sex toy that uses double clicking before and I must admit I was sceptical, but it is a genius idea. It provides so many options with just a single button. There are 25 options to be precise. The only thing you can’t do is operate the heating function. For that, you will need the remote. I am not keen on this function, as the remote is very small and easy to lose, but that is why you get the drawstring bag. The remote takes a normal polymer lithium flat round battery and Svakom include a spare in the box as well. There are 3 buttons on the remote. One button is for the constant heating. There is an on and off button which when single clicked, scrolls through the modes. There is also a +/- button to change the intensity. The remote is a great convenience for the user however the remote doesn’t show what the sex toy is doing though. No one wants to be rummaging about their back passage double clicking and hoping for the best. It is not so great for couple’s play, unfortunately, as the controller has no idea whether their partner has a whimpering kitten up the bum or a 40 degree hot rocket. This is a mistake lots of sex toy companies make when they design remotes.

The sex toy can be used externally on the clitoris and the slightly bulbed end will be great for prostate or g-spot stimulation if used internally. The vibrations are fairly powerful and perfectly acceptable for the price of the sex toy. While Svakom Primo doesn’t blow my mind with its rumbly deep frequency vibrations, the range is very impressive and I really liked the lower settings. There is a buzzy element which increases as the intensity increases but it isn’t numbing in the way some sex toys can be. It feels more rumbly on the sides of the sex toy than at the tip, which suits internal use. The heating element is exactly as the sex toy promises. One click of the button and in a couple of minutes it reaches a very pleasant, warm and toasty 38 degrees Celsius. Some heating sex toys take an annoying amount of time to heat up and require a bit of forward planning. It is great that this one doesn’t.

The plug is 100% waterproof which is interesting even though there is a pinpoint charging hole and it is a heating sex toy. The company promises you can even take it into the pool with you. The waterproof functionality is a great feature for any sex toy as it means you can wash it thoroughly with soap and water. This can be a particular comfort to some when it comes to anal play. The company must be confident with these claims as they offer a year warranty and a further 10 year quality guarantee. If you register the sex toy online using the warranty card included in the box, Svakom will give you the cost back in the first year and 50% of the cost back for the next 10 years if anything goes wrong. This is one of the best plugs I think we have for someone purchasing their first one. The look and size are elegant and unintimidating. A good entry sex toy in all senses of the word.
