UPDATE OCTOBER 2023: This small vibrator is no longer in production. This sex toy review remains as a reference for those who are curious. While you’re here, why not check out some additional educational info – like online submissive tasks, beginner pegging positions, saran wrap bondage, and enema 101 info.
The PicoBong Mahana vibrator is a silicone and plastic vibrator made by PicoBong. The toy runs on two AAA batteries which are inserted into the two different sides. Each battery should give about two hours of play according to the instructions. The Picobong Mahana also includes a 1-year warranty as well.
This Picobong Mahana review will not cover everything about the Mahana vibrator as I covered the Picobong controls, the battery system, the packaging, and how their vibrations are over at my Picobong Vibrators Overview post. Please go there and check out that information for further information about the use of the toy. This review will deal with the specific information on the Picobong Mahana.
The PicoBong Mahana was intended to be a couple’s vibrator and a duo vibe according to the box. The box describes it as “double vibrations, multiple uses, and endless enjoyment”. Most people would jump to the idea of a We-Vibe-like toy intended for dual stimulation, but it may have been created for dual penetration instead of dual stimulation.
The two vibrators of the PicoBong Mahana are connected by the centerpiece made from plastic. Each of the individual sides screws off to insert the battery into the toy, and each one of the individual vibrators also includes the controls for the vibrations right on the silicone insertable portion. This can make use a bit difficult as, well, the way to control the vibrations is inserted into your body.
It looks similar to the We-Vibe. The truth is that this vibrator can never really compete with the We-Vibe’s couples functions. The Mahana vibrator is about a half inch larger in diameter on each end than the We-Vibe is. It doesn’t sound like much, but when you’re trying to fit a one-inch item in a vagina along with a penis, it makes a big difference. If you’re used to being stretched, it might work, but for the average person, it’ll probably be uncomfortable.
Along with that, the inner pieces that connect the two Mahana vibrators are NOT very flexible. In the We-Vibe, the We-Vibe can easily lay out to be one, long straight line. That makes it extremely flexible. With the Mahana vibrator, I can barely pull the two sides apart for an inch before I’m afraid I’m going to snap the plastic on it. Yes, the piece connecting the two sides is plastic, so it does concern me that I’ll break it when I’m attempting to pull the two sides together.
What this does seem to have been designed okay for, if your anatomy permits it, is dual penetration. The two ends don’t have to pull apart very far for that, and you can use each end in a different entrance. Again, though, you still have to take into account that the buttons to control the vibrations are on the actual vibrator-insertable part itself, so you want to set your perfect vibrational settings before you actually insert this. If you don’t, you’ll have to pull out both parts just to adjust one of the sides.
Overall, I really can’t recommend this vibrator much. If you want a cheaper alternative to a We-Vibe or tend to stay on constant speeds throughout use of your toys and want this for double-penetration instead of dual-stimulation, the Mahana vibrator may work for you, but it doesn’t work well as a couple’s vibrator. It’s really up to what you want this vibrator for.
