As someone who is a massive sucker for suction, I was very excited to trial this little beauty. When looking at TNLC’s range I was immediately drawn to the gorgeous earthy mocha tone of the Salvia and the super smooth feeling of the sanitary grade silicone.

My Go-To for a guaranteed orgasm is usually the Satisfyer Pro so I was intrigued to see if the Salvia could knock her off the podium.

My first thought when I took her out of the little organic bag was she was a lot smaller than I had imagined which means she fits perfectly in the palm of my hand and indeed the ‘’buttery soft’’ silicone was a dream to hold. Almost so soft (for something that is hard) it’s freaky. She came charged up which was awesome.

One thing I’ve noticed with various suction devices is they all have a different sized suction hole. The Satisfyer Pro is quite large which means it kind of envelops lots of surrounding areas rather than being solely focused on the clit (which turns out is what my body likes). Jade’s usual suction vibrator has a tiny hole which gives a crazy focused sensation (which she loves but is wayyyyyy too much for me!). The Salvia is in between so gives a perfect mix - I still felt like it was getting all the clitoral nerves around my clit, but Jade reckoned it was still concentrated enough for her too.

The Salvia has 10 different patterns - either differing sequences or strengths. I enjoyed having a little cycle through to see if any of them popped out at me as a go-to. Usually with my Satisfyer Pro I just keep it on the continual suction (without the vibrate function) and start on strength #3 and end up at #4 (or sometimes #5 if I’ve already had clit stimulation in another way and she needs a bit more help in Round 2/3/4, etc. The suction feeling of the Salvia felt like it had a faster motor which made all of the settings feel ‘smoother’, if that makes sense, regardless of the strength it was set to. There was a variety of strengths and patterns from a slow lull sensation to rip-your-clit-off hard. The sequences were fun and surprising - bringing you up and down and then adding a few punches at the end.

Probably the cutest but totally not-on-purpose thing about the Salvia is that due to the magnetic charger on the bottom, she got magnetised to my metal bedside table, securing herself confidently like she’d found her home.

Salvia is a super sleek sexy little sucker - the colour, texture, and size make you feel like a rich classy slut instead of a cheap one (not that there’s anything wrong with that, they all have their time and place!) and the smooth sucking sensation led to a really deep building orgasm that felt like it pulsed through my entire vulva.

Satisfyer Pro will be popped back in the box under the bed, and Salvia is now my regular. That's if I can wrestle it off of Jade as it's currently in her bedside table drawer - rude!
