We have a lovely relationship with the Satisfyer team and were lucky enough to receive the two new additions to their couples’ range of vibrators, the Multifun 1 and 2! This is our first time trying out any of the dedicated vibration-only toys in their collection, so we were pretty keen. Both toys were provided free of charge in exchange for honest and unbiased reviews. Let’s start with the basics.
Each toy is an unusual scooped horseshoe-shape made out of ABS plastic and soft silicone that picks up surprisingly little cat hair. The shape of the 2 differs slightly from the 1 in that there is a little spacing between the prongs of the 2, whereas the 1 has them actually touch together. There’s also a subtle variation in the shape of the tips – the 1 is sort of rounded and nubby, while the 2 has a more finlike, scooped shape. Other than that, they’re pretty identical. This review focuses on the Multifun 2 used in a solo setting.
The box is pretty standard stuff – pretty, with some little example graphics on how to use the Multifun toys on the side. It contains the toy, manual, and a USB charging cable that clips on magnetically. First impressions of the toy itself? To be honest, when I lifted it out that little plastic moulded tray, all I thought was: this is just so super weird. When adding this to my list of review items still pending, I just wrote down “weird couples thing??”, which pretty much sums up my initial feelings on the shape. It’s really unusual, but I was also kind of into it?
If you look at the shape of a clitoris, the forked design actually makes sense. Observe:

This toy has three motors, one in each tip and one in the base. The vibration quality, I’m sorry to say, is very buzzy. This normally isn’t my vibe (heh) at all, especially as the base area seemed to have the weakest vibrations of all and that was the central bit I had imagined would work well over the hood area. The forked tips feel a bit more powerful (but still buzzy) and they all share the same three speeds and four vibration patterns. You can operate the tips and the base separately or together, which is cool because unless you enjoy having super numb hands there’s not much reason to use both at the same time. There’s no convenient way to use the toy’s full vibrational surface-area during solo play that doesn’t involve pressing it against the body, so it does get a bit much on the hands after a while.
Nevertheless, I don’t really get a lot out of pressing the whole thing to my body. The shape doesn’t really fit comfortably against me despite what I initially thought, and the base doesn’t do much for me anyway so there’s not much appeal in using it vibrationally. The prongs, though. The prongs are where it’s at, which is why it’s good that you can opt-out of using the base vibrations. Holding this toy by the base and using the little arms on either side of the clitoris is where the party is. It’s unlike any of the external vibes in my current collection, and the sensation of the prongs encompassing either side of the clitoris is new and admittedly pretty rad. You also get some good sensation on the clitoral crura as well, which is also a bit of an unusual departure for me.
The cupping sensation provided by the horseshoe shape made me interested in what transgender people using this toy would think. Despite the limited pink/blue colour options, the aesthetics are quite gender-neutral -- the design is meant to be used with different genital shapes after all. Also, you can perform some convincing masculine-looking masturbatory hand motions when using it, which may be gender-affirming for transmasculine people. I’m a basic cishet myself but I’d really love to know how gender-nonconforming people find the experience. Send me links. Make me know things.
Basically, I really, really enjoyed the forked shape of this toy. Almost as soon as I started using it, I was sold. Just as quickly, however, this enthusiasm was tempered by the numbing vibrations emanating from the forked tips. It just felt like I needed more from the sensation – the buzzy vibrations are surface-level and feel good, but shallowly so. I found myself very conscious of the intensity settings (because if you try amp up the power more than three times you hit the patterns, and nobody wants that) and this dampened the enjoyment somewhat. Ultimately, I found the experiences with this toy quite frustrating – it was so good, kind of! I really liked using it – until I reached a plateau with the surface-level vibrations that just numbed me out.
Three motors are a lot in a palm-sized clitoral toy, even if they’re not particularly strong. I’d love to see a version of this design which maintains the horseshoe-shape but packs some actually rumbly motors in the tips for deeper and more notable stimulation. Nevertheless, I loved the opportunity to try out something completely new and definitely had a great time learning more about what works for me!
