Welcome to Skimm Tested, a series where we put products to the test and give you our honest, unfiltered reviews.

What I Tested…

Why I Tested…

Skimm Tested by Alessandra Rey

How I Tested…

I used this kegel trainer every other day for two weeks, and tested its vibrator settings with and without my partner.

Test Results…

  • Ease of use. I loved that this trainer was intuitive from the get-go. Both the trainer and remote control have one button you press (and hold) to turn on before each device automatically connects to the other. Once on, the power button also acts as a toggle button, allowing you to switch from training mode to vibrator mode with one click. Easy peasy.

  • Beginner-friendly materials. While most instruction manuals make my brain go numb, I was glad to find an entire page (with graphics) dedicated to helping me understand the pelvic floor, including advice on how to use the trainer for better endurance, strength, or control. The device also has easy-to-read light indicators that demonstrate the strength of your kegel exercise. Turns out, I have a much stronger pelvic floor than I expected. 

  • Better bladder control. It doesn’t take a lot to make me cackle or cry-laugh, and admittedly, I don’t always make it to the bathroom after. However, after using this device daily, I’ve definitely noticed fewer leaks. 

  • Waterproof silicone material. One of my favorite things about this trainer is how soft and smooth it is. It was easy to insert without any lubricant and didn’t make me feel sore or uncomfortable. It’s also 100% waterproof, which makes it easy to perform exercises (or have some play time) in the shower or the bath. 

  • Long battery life. While the trainer doesn’t come fully charged from the beginning, it doesn’t take long to charge it up to 100%. I’ve only had to charge it twice in the time that I’ve used it (and I’ve used it a lot).

Sidenotes…

  • Strong vibration patterns. I’ve tested a ton of vibrators for this series, so I’m confident when I say that the motors on this pocket-sized device are strong. There are five unique patterns and varying intensities for anyone who wants to continue their sexual wellness journey post-kegel training.

  • Bluetooth remote control. I was pleasantly surprised when (my partner and) I learned that the remote control stayed connected to the device from far away. He was able to toggle between vibrator settings from the living room while I was in my bedroom — a major plus if you’re trying to find new ways to have a little fun.
