Review: LELO DEXTRUS

Editor's Note: As you might already have guessed, Kinkly teamed up with LELO and the Redhead Bedhead to play a little April Fool's prank on readers. Sorry folks, but DEXTRÜS, LELO’s fabled sex toy for right-handed people, is a hoax. The good news is, so is the research behind it, which means that all you right-handed people out there can get back to having amazing orgasms (and stop worrying that they aren’t as powerful as your left-handed friends).

If you signed up to win a DEXTRÜS, you will still be entered to win one of LELO’s other great (and very real) toys.

Plus, in return for joining in on the April Fool’s Day fun, we’re giving out a special discount code for 20% off LELO’s amazing, ambidextrous sex toys for couples. Check them out here, then use the code "KINKLY" during checkout. You’ll get 20% off your order!

The Product: LELO DEXTRÜS
The Verdict: (Out of five)

The adult toy market is full of products that claim to be innovative, so I've gotten a bit cynical about such claims. That’s why when LELO approached me about testing their newest product, DEXTRÜS, I kept my expectations low. I figured there was no way it could live up to their claims. So, here’s the part where I eat a big dish of crow ... because DEXTRÜS is actually really cool.

So, what’s the deal with this toy?

This is not just a sex toy, folks. Also, it’s not designed for everyone, literally. DEXTRÜS is a "right-handed vibrator" designed to help righties stimulate the parts of the brains that, according to studies, allow lefties to experience greater sexual pleasure, and creative thought.

How does it work?

So this is actually pretty cool — the toy is multi-use. One use is intended to help achieve what LELO is calling (stay with me here) "The Left-Handed Orgasm," while the other use is simply to help stimulate the right side of the brain, aiding in creative thought. While I can tell you what to do with the toy I’m going to have to rely on LELO a bit to help explain why you should do it. Listen up, it’s interesting stuff.

For "The Left-Handed Orgasm" (LHO, if you will) you just continually squeeze the DEXTRÜS in your left hand throughout sex. According to LELO, "Every squeeze prompts the touch-sensors to emit the same series of powerful vibration patterns that can be applied all over the body, while at the same time allowing the user to access a left-hander's state of mind."

For the not-orgasmic use (seriously, you can just do this at work), you can just squeeze the toy. According to LELO, "Every time pressure is applied to DEXTRÜS, its Right-Squeeze™ technology causes whisper-quiet vibrations to travel through the left-arm and stimulate the right-side of the brain, blocking distractions and encouraging smarter, more creative thought."
