Well, this is a review/experience piece I never thought I’d see myself writing. But here I am, settling in to tell y’all about my experience with the Bondage Boutique Vaginal Speculum. I always said that one sex toy I’d never, ever use would be a vaginal speculum. I mean, medical fetishists aside, why would anyone wanna sneak a peek along their own love canal? It never seemed like something that could be even remotely sexy to me.
But, curiosity being a curious thing, I started to wonder. After watching the Fella’s cock, balls and butt do the orgasm dance for the thousandth time, I began imagining what my own orgasms looked like up close and personal. I started to think that maybe I wanted to know what he was seeing whenever he watched me come.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s not like I’ve hit the end of my 30s and decided it’s about time I knew what my vulva looked like. Visual exploration was something I’d done when I was younger, but this wanting to see my own orgasm was something new to me. Up until this point in my life I’d been content enough with just feeling them.
So, it began by grabbing a torch and a mirror. I stimulated my clit to orgasm and watched it do a weird turtle impression. Disappearing and then reappearing until eventually it fucked off behind my hood and stayed there, all small, hard and mean looking. While I was watching that go on, I saw other things. I watched my vaginal and anal openings pulsing.
After a few rounds of this, curiosity got the better of me and I bought myself the Bondage Boutique Vaginal Speculum. My first thoughts on unpacking it were, this thing ain’t displaying shit. I’d chosen a clear one specifically, my goal being to see as much of my vaginal goings-on as I possibly could. But the speculum seemed so fragile and cheap and nasty. Almost like it was a disposable one, a use once then destroy kinda deal.
The insertable duckbill is 3.5” long, and the whole piece is two clear plastic parts held together by plastic dimples. At its longest point, the handle is 3” and that longer piece has a ribbed thumb rest to help with grip. Once it’s inserted the handles are squeezed together to open up the vaginal canal, and then the speculum is held open by a white plastic threaded arm with an orange plastic nut.
When I use it, I don’t apply a lot of lube. Firstly, it gets mighty slippery and hard to control if it’s too wet, and secondly because too much lube reduces visibility. So, once a thin coating of lube goes on the outside of the duckbill, it’s time to insert.
Putting it in me the way I’m supposed to – handles down – is a no go. I don’t have a hand coming out of my arse so can neither squeeze the trigger nor tighten the nut without help. I tried the handles down thing from the top but my hands got in the way and I was too crunched up and it didn’t want to stay inserted.
Spinning it around so the handles faced up gave much better results. I could see all my giblets, people! Hurrah! And what an interesting sight they are. I won’t describe them in detail cos Jesus Christ, but I was truly fascinated. I could see my vaginal walls, my cervix, and a creamy fluid that got thinner as I watched, suggesting to me that I was enjoying myself more than I’d realised.
However, getting to watch orgasm shake my walls wasn’t meant to be. Not with the speculum in this position. Visibility was excellent, but access to my clitoris was not. The poor thing was totally barricaded in by the handles.
Not one to be deterred by mere actual usage guidelines (yes, I did read up on how to use a vaginal speculum at home), I decided to give it one more shot. This time, I spread my thighs as far apart as I could – feet together, smear style – and inserted the duckbill side to side. I could see so much more!
Really, the 2” by 1.5” opening might not look like the biggest window to be looking through, but it honestly exposed everything. When I say ‘exposed’ I don’t just mean in a visual sense, either. My clit was completely exposed to stimulation, and so was my g-spot. I couldn’t see it but I was acutely aware that it was just hanging around and not covered by a big strip of plastic. Just waiting to be touched. So, touch it I did.
The smaller end of the Njoy Pure Wand fits perfectly through the hole, so in it went and it landed on my hot-spot with no interference from the speculum whatsoever. Quick jiggles of the dildo combined with a little bit of clit stim had me coming soon enough, and I watched the whole event. I watched myself come.
I watched the clit spasms, watched my butt blowing me kisses, watched fluid gushing from my urethra (and all over my fucking torch). And I watched my vaginal walls contract. It was a rhythmic, rolling thing that had my cervix dipping forward and then pulling back. I think my vag must have wanted to perform for me cos the orgasm lasted ages. I don’t know if it was cos I couldn’t squeeze my legs together at all, or if it was just such an intimately hot moment that I came extra hard, but it was definitely a good’un.
The next time I tried the Bondage Boutique Vaginal Speculum things were instantly less exciting, cos I knew what to expect. So, to give myself something different to look forward to I decided to leave my g-spot alone. Instead, I opted to stimulate my cervix.
Because room was limited by the speculum and I don’t have any super thin toys, I grabbed a silicone handled mini crop and sterilised it. That gave me ample reach and also a bit more visibility than I’d had with the chunky ended Pure Wand.
Using a clit vibe on low and taking it slowly, I gently stimulated my cervix. After a few minutes of that, I turned up the vibe and started to touch my cervix a bit harder. Just under ten minutes later I was pretty much hammering the silicone tip into my cervix as hard as my slippery grip would allow, with the clit vibe on full. I came. Twice. Then shifted the tip of the crop to my g-spot and came again, making myself gush just like I had the first time. All the while watching everything that was happening inside me with no obstructions. As orgasmic experiences go that was up there with the best.
Now, I’m very aware that this kind of play – and therefore this kind of toy – isn’t gonna appeal to everyone. In fact, I’m still mega surprised that it appeals to me. But if you’re even just a little bit curious I would recommend you give it a go. I admit that it’s less about the speculum itself and more about what it reveals. Seeing inside yourself is one thing but seeing your own pleasure as it happens is something else. It’s fascinating, erotic, and possibly one of the most intimate ways you can get to know yourself.
The reason I chose the Bondage Boutique Vaginal Speculum wasn’t just its clear plastic build. It was also its price. At the time I bought mine (and at the time of writing this review) it was a mere £6.99. I figured that if I loved using a speculum I could invest in a better one, but if I hated it I’d only lost a few quid.
As a product, I don’t think it has much longevity. Mine’s fallen apart on me twice, once cos my hand slipped during insertion and once when I was cleaning it. Eventually, those plastic dimples aren’t gonna be secure anymore. But as a taster product for what really is a niche thing, it’s perfect.
Just be very careful when you’re cleaning it. I douse mine in antibacterial toy cleaner, let it sit for a while, then rinse it and wash it in soapy water, using a toothbrush to ensure the joins, gaps, and the white threaded arm are completely gunk free. Before each use ensure everything is properly connected and that it’s all tight. Having it fall apart while it’s inside the vagina can make the duckbill a bit nippy.
But yeah, I love using a speculum to watch myself play. The Fella loves it too. It freaks him the fuck out, yet he still watches with great fascination and makes himself come at the same time as I do. He’s gonna get a kick up the arse if he suggests he’d get a better view of my shaft if I’d let him use a miner’s lamp, though.
