Always been a fan of iroha products, so I'm super excited to have the opportunity to review the iroha+ kushi in Nadeshiko pink!
Texture: Iroha's body safe silicone has always been a pleasure to feel but with the iroha+ it's even softer! In addition to the silicone, the kushi has a squish to it making it great to press against your body. The textured folds on the kushi also provide another layer of interesting texture. I wouldn't say it does particularly much for me, but I do like that there is an option for a different sensation if you wanted to switch it up. Also my cat hair hasn't been sticking to it like crazy so that's a HUGE plus.
Aesthetics: The new color, Nadeshiko pink, is SUCH a pretty shade of pink. The kushi kind of looks like a hedgehog and could totally pass off for a stress ball or something, thanks to the squishy silicone texture. I love that iroha products are always super discreet. One thing, however, is that the new iroha+ line does not use the charging case anymore so you can't "display" it. Not a big deal and honestly with the new charging cable attaching magnetically directly under it, you could probably get away with saying it's a night lamp.
Vibration: The important part! I own the iroha Rin+ and always thought it was a little weaker compared to other vibrators, so I was very delighted to find that the kushi has a GREAT range of vibration strength. The maximum strength (5) is like numbing strong lmao, so I'm sure this will suit a wide range of users :) I also love the new vibration patterns that was added. I'm normally not for vibration patterns and prefer the constant settings, but I really loved pulse 3! It's a great enticing pattern that I feel doesn't just leave me hanging on the lower end of the vibration. You can use the tip for a more localized vibration or the entire body of it for a more distributed vibration. Both are really nice!
Sound: The lower settings on the kushi are super silent. For the lower two settings I honestly can't hear it over the ambient noise in my house. As for the stronger settings, it's definitely audible within the room but definitely not from another room.
Overall, really great external vibe. Super cute and discreet and would make a great first vibrator. Has a great range of vibration and utility so you don't get bored of it over time. Definitely give it a try!
