The infamous Rabbit Habit promises pleasure on every level (or at least, every level within a few inches of your vagina), but, sadly, I cannot call it perfect. It comes so close, but remains so far from being what I need it to be.
What’s it look like? There’s a chunky two inch base with two sliding switches to control the power. One switch controls the vibration of the rabbit, the other controls the rotation of the shaft. Then there’s about two inches of uninsertable shaft that houses the motor. The base of the rabbit and its vibrating bullet attach here. The ears of the bunny are very soft and flexible as they’re designed to “tickle” the clit, not just vibrate against it. The rabbit has a little had and pointy nose too, which I guess is supposed to add something extra. The rabbit’s head is right next to the tumbling pearls that rotate at the bottom of the shaft. There’s a gap between the two so that you can have the pearls a little way inside of you while the rabbit buzzes away on the outside. Finally, you have the swirling shaft with a bulbous head.
I must admit that the details on the thing kind of weird me out. First of all, they bothered to give the rabbit eyes. I’d apologize that my camera doesn’t do macro images very well, but some of the photos I snapped made the rabbit look like a predator lurking behind the dildo and you’re probably better off not seeing that. You can see a little of the eye (and my hand) here.
And then there is this thing at the head of the shaft. I have no idea what it is, why it’s there, or whose idea it was, but I know that it is terrible.
You can just make out two eyes, a nose, and a smile. Here’s a side view.
Does that look like a hairdo? Are those pigtails? And now that I look closer, I can see these little raised dots arranged in a Y shape down the front of the person. Is it a necklace? A shirt? What? Why? Just somebody tell me why.
Also, the whole thing sparkles. There’s glitter embedded in the freaking elastomer.
How does it run? The three AA batteries go in a compartment in the back of the plastic base. As I stated before, the vibration and rotation speeds are controlled by sliding switches. I found that the sliding switches provide a pretty good range of speeds. I much prefer this mechanism to your typical push-button 1, 2, 3 options.
You should know that this thing is loud. The highest speeds make a hell of a racket. I found it a little distracting, but I find the ceiling distracting, so don’t take my word on that.
Yes, but how does it feel? I loved the rotating shaft — when it worked. You may have heard about how a swirling motion inside the vagina is supposed to add spice or what have you? It sounds like a kooky Cosmo sex tip, but from what the Rabbit Habit showed me, IT IS BRILLIANT. When it worked. I had to turn the rotation up high and be careful with my muscle clenching to get the thing to keep moving. The shaft is 1.5” thick at its widest, which is awesome for some, but it actually took a little work to get it in me. Yes, I was warmed up and yes, I used copious amounts of lubrication, but it still took patience and a little elbow grease to get it in there. But I can’t help it if I have narrow-set vagina. Your mileage will probably vary on that one.
The “tickling” ears were too awkward. I had to concentrate and contort to get things lined up right. They sort of hurt at times. I think that’s because, rather than being steadily pressed against my clit, they sort of hit it at a rate of thousands of times per minute. But when I did get them in the right position (don’t ask me what that looked like, I do not know), they felt fantastic.
I was barely aware of the pearls in the base of the shaft. They sound amazing, in theory, but in practice, their effect was somewhat lost between the tickly ears and the awesome swirly shaft.
What’s the downside? One size does not fit all.
So is it worth it? The Rabbit Habit sells for $90 on Babeland and $82 on Good Vibes. Even if my apparently anomalous experience hasn’t turned you off the thing, I would still wait to get this one on sale or when you had the cash to risk on a dream that may be broken.
Unfortunately, I have to conclude that the Rabbit Habit is an excellent idea that falls short in the execution.
