I always try my best to review budget-friendly sex toys where I can. But when it comes to round-ups like my annual Top 10, it’s easy to forget these kinds of products in favour of the more premium offerings I’m so lucky to have access to. So that’s why it was such a surprise, both to myself and to my readers, when I released my 2023 rankings, only for one of the most inexpensive brands on the net to have not just one, not just two, but three products included! It was the first time since 2020 a single brand has taken out that many top spots, but even that was high-end Womanizer, with products that ranged from $150 AUD to $330 AUD. In stark contrast, Funzze’s three will only set you back a mere $40 AUD to $100 AUD, and the cheapest of the bunch just so happened to be my favourite type of sex toy: a pressure wave stimulator. So, when the brand recently reached out again about completing some more reviews, I went straight to their suction section to see if they had anything that could possibly rival it.

Product Description

Whilst it is slightly more money than last year’s Funzze Sucking Massager, the Pink “O” is still very much a standard no-frills air pressure wave toy. Which isn’t to say that’s a bad thing, as seeing a toy of its price tag with a bunch of features would definitely be a red flag. Really the biggest initial difference between them would be their appearance, as whilst the Sucking Massager is quite generic looking, with its full body purple silicone, the Pink “O” instead adds a touch of fun, with its small form mixing pink and white alongside a large love heart as its single button (apparently the design was inspired by swans, but I fail to see the resemblance). All pink areas are then silicone, whilst the white is a ABS plastic that feels smooth to the touch. Stimulation is via the large nozzle that rests at the end of the Pink “O”, which also doubles as its namesake, and within this chamber is a small bead that moves back and forth rapidly to create the change in air pressure that occurs when the toy is turned on. The silicone around this area is then quite firm, with very little give around the nozzle, and at the very bottom of the toy you’ll find a hole for its charger. Finally, the Pink “O” is also waterproof, USB rechargeable, and body-safe.

Packaging

My order for the Pink “O” was placed with Funzze on the 15th of March and I received it on the 26th. The package was then 100% discreet, with no mention of the sender or what was contained within. Inside, everything was packaged the same as previous orders, and it is this level of consistency that is part of why Funzze are my favourite white-label retailer. A simple cardboard box branded with just a removable slip of paper, for maximum reusability and discretion, I then found the Pink “O” alongside its instructions (which call the toy the White Swan Sucker), a charger, a card detailing Funzze’s one year warranty, and a gold branded storage bag that fits the toy perfectly.

Charging

Charging the Funzze Pink “O” is easy since it is USB rechargeable. Simply plug one end of the charging cord into a USB port and then the other end can go directly into the hole at the bottom of the toy. When charging a light will flash, with this becoming solid once complete, and charging should take around one hour to give you an estimated one hour of use.

Controls

Whilst the Funzze Sucking Massager has three buttons, allowing for a level of control often unheard of in budget suction toys, the Pink “O” features the more standard single button. Then, to turn the toy on or off, you’ll need to simply hold this down. Once on, you’ll have access to eight different modes, and you can use the button to cycle through them. Now, if it were up to me (like it was on the Boutique Voila Little GOO), all eight of these modes would be steady speeds, with the intensity slowly growing with each new level. But, unfortunately, this is not the case, and instead the toy has a mere two steady speeds, with the rest being patterns!! After the ten levels of the Sucking Massager, this feels like such a travesty and a step in the wrong direction, and in my eyes is a problem that’s hard to overcome. On the plus side, however, the button does light up when the suction is running (on the steady speeds this means a constant light, but on the patterns it results in a blinking light as if there’s a rave party happening under my sheets), making it easier to find and use in the dark.

First Impressions

My very first reaction to the Funzze Pink “O” was one of concern when I saw that extra wide nozzle paired with a too close for comfort “tongue”. This is because when I’ve reviewed similar toys in the past, oftentimes that vibrating bead can accidentally hit my clitoris, resulting in a fair amount of pain. And the conditions here seem almost perfect for a repeat of this, although thankfully the chamber is deeper than it looks, and will hopefully mean the bead is out of reach for me. Turning it on, I then found the suction to feel quite strong, yet the noise level was a big disappointment, being much louder than I had hoped and significantly more so than the Funzze Sucking Massager. This means that the toy really isn’t going to be ideal if you have a need for privacy, as even when the suction seal is made, it is still quite audible.

My Experience

Placing the Funzze Pink “O” over me is easy due to its wide nozzle, and whilst its shape means it doesn’t create as tight a sensation as many other suction toys, it still is able to create a seal around my clitoris. Then, even though the firmer I press it the deeper I go into its chamber, I’m thankful to report I haven’t had any pain or other issues with the proximity of the vibrating bead. Instead, all I feel from it are the changes in air pressure it creates, and whilst these are by no means the best suction sensations I’ve ever felt, they’re pretty damn good. I maintain that two speeds is not enough, in any vibrator but especially a suction toy, yet Funzze have certainly succeeded in making the most of what they’ve got. The initial speed is deeply penetrating, but still low enough that you can jump right in without needing to warm up, whilst the second speed really takes things to another level. Safe to say, orgasming with the Pink “O” is easy, and very satisfying. My only downside, and this is a new one, is that after climax I find that my hand sometimes hurts. The problem is the plastic, because whilst this is smooth against the silicone ordinarily, if you apply pressure to the silicone, it will push inwards whilst the firm plastic will remain put. When this is done, such as during use, it means that the edge of this plastic gets pushed into my skin, hence the pain. It’s not really a huge problem, and eventually I’ll probably know exactly how to hold the toy to avoid it, but it is my only complaint.

Cleaning & Care

Cleaning the Funzze Pink “O” is easy since it’s fully waterproof and only designed for external use. Simply give it a quick wash with some warm soapy water after use, and then leave to air dry. Afterward, you can store it how you wish, or use Funzze’s provided storage bag. Additionally, make sure not to use silicone-based lubricant with this product, as it may affect the material it is made of.

Final Thoughts

The Funzze Sucking Massager set a high bar, and after comparing the two and realising that it is cheaper yet more advanced than the Pink “O”, offering a far greater range of intensities and a more robust control system, it felt like there was a clear winner But even though this toy had so little to work with, it made sure to make the most of every opportunity afforded to it, and it was this that made the Funzze Pink “O” my favourite of the two. Whilst the Sucking Massager may have had an impressive ten levels, these fell flat, with the initial speed being too strong and the other speeds lacking in any real variety or depth. Meanwhile, the Pink “O” had just two, but in those two were modes I’d rather use than any of the ten that the Sucking Massager had to offer. And because of this, I found the Sucking Massager difficult to orgasm with, whilst the Pink “O” was easy. Of course, there are definitely advantages to the Sucking Massager, and being able to control it more effectively is a big one, as is its slightly cheaper price. Plus, whilst I didn’t have any issues with the shallow chamber of the Pink “O”, those with a longer clitoris may, which is a concern. And, of course, I should also mention my recent review of the Boutique Voila Little GOO, another budget air pressure wave stimulator that is less than the Pink “O”, yet I called it the “one of the best suction toys I have tried in years”. Either way, I think it’s safe to say that there’s a good chance we’ll be seeing the Funzze Pink “O” again later this year for my Top 10!

Last year the most exciting new brand I tried had to be Pink Punch. Launching onto the scene with their adorable aesthetic, which evoked early 2000s nostalgia with their Polly Pocket-style cases and cyberpunk app, their flagship product the Sunset Mushroom, and later the Peachu, not only looked amazing but offered a range of features that I just couldn’t resist. Both had charging stations, with the Sunset Mushroom’s resembling an AirPods case both in design and the way it functioned, whilst other elements such as their exquisite packaging, app-control and squishy translucent silicone all made for a level of quality that I don’t see enough of in this industry. The only downside was that neither the Sunset Mushroom nor Peachu were actually very good sex toys, and even though their compatible app is one of the better ones, it still wasn’t enough for me to recommend them. I could clearly see the potential, however, and so I’ve kept tabs on the brand ever since, eager to get my hands on whatever they released next in the hopes that it would finally be the one. Well, when I saw the Dream Bunny I was over the moon, and even more so when they asked if I wanted to review it!

Product Description

Like the Peachu, the Pink Punch Dream Bunny is an air pressure wave stimulator. Although I must not have been the only one to dislike the Peachu’s odd approach to suction, since the brand has already discontinued it. So, in a way, the Dream Bunny is its spiritual successor, and even from a first glance I can tell Pink Punch have made improvements to things I previously took issue with. For instance, one of the reasons that toy fell flat was its alternative take on the suction nozzle, whilst the Dream Bunny has kept things traditional with the tried-and-true design that didn’t need changing in the first place. Although it wouldn’t be Pink Punch without a little bit of a spin to the norm, and because of this they have included four different silicone nozzle attachments! Following in the footsteps of another very famous type of sex toy, the Dream Bunny then uses the humble rabbit for inspiration. The two ears (which actually remind me more of a sprout, especially in my version’s colour) rise up from the toy’s body and curve outwards, working as a handle that you may hold with your index and middle finger. This turns the Dream Bunny essentially into a wearable toy, and holding it in this way reminds me a lot of the Hot Octopuss DiGiT and Dame Fin. The brand’s signature silicone is then again in action here, with the soft “ears” being fully translucent before this material spreads out in a thin layer across the rest of the toy, although this effect is a bit more subtle than on the last two. Plus, a colour gradient also follows this change, from the almost clear ears to the darker base, with my copy being green but the Dream Bunny also coming in pink and white. Then, on one side you’ll find a single button from which to control the toy, whilst underneath this near the suction nozzle is both a logo and the metal plates for the Dream Bunny’s simple charging stand to connect to. Finally, as with Pink Punch’s other toys, this product is also app-controllable, body-safe, USB rechargeable and waterproof, and as a new addition it comes with a one year warranty.

Packaging

My order for the Dream Bunny was made with Pink Punch on the 26th of March and I received it on the 3rd of April. The package was then 100% discreet, with no mention of the brand name and the items simply listed as “home casual clothes”. After the beautiful (yet almost identical) packaging of my last two Pink Punch toys, I was pretty eager to see what the Dream Bunny offered. Opening it up though, my initial impression was that something was missing. Whilst the last two had gorgeous clear sleeves that reinforced their brand’s commitment to design and also their layered silicone work, which were then removed to reveal a mostly plain white box, it seems the Dream Bunny has skipped the sleeve altogether and gone straight to the plain box. On the one hand, this reduces waste and ensures a more discreet package (although it does clearly say what it is on the back), but as a lover of design this is also a bit of a shame, and does make me wonder if there was a sleeve for this product at one point considering the level of negative space? Still, even with this, it is a very nice box, and if it wasn’t for my previous experiences with the brand then I would be quite happy. To access the toy, you can then slide the front off (this is quite tight and takes a little while, good for privacy but not so much as a reusable storage option), which will reveal a card envelope with the Pink Punch logo. This barrier looks nice, but without any flap or handle with which to remove it, it does result in a need to just tip the whole thing upside down to get everything out. Once that’s done, you’ll find the Dream Bunny (which was resting safely in plastic), alongside its charging stand, charging cord, four silicone nozzles, high-quality storage pouch, instruction manual, and small introductory card.

That introductory card was the thing I took the most interest in, as it states that during development Pink Punch “collected 100 women’s advice [on the Dream Bunny]; 80 vegetarians, including college students, working women, moms, and 20 erotic toy reviewers; a total of 673 design revisions and nearly 1,000 sensory tests were conducted”. This is the sort of thing I love to hear, but I was a little bit surprised, not just because of the surprising amount of vegetarians consulted, but because of the 20 toy reviewers. Not to toot my own horn, but where was my invite? In fact, despite the sex toy reviewer community being rather small, I haven’t heard of a single person being contacted about this, much less giving input. And even though I put the call out on social media to try and find somebody, I’ve had no luck. That’s not to say that Pink Punch are lying, they are a Chinese company and there could very well be a huge community of professional sex toy testers there that I have never heard of. But it does raise questions, especially considering the whole point of this statement is to express the wide pool of input they gathered on the Dream Bunny prior to its release.

Charging

Charging the Dream Bunny is easy, and once again Pink Punch have included a compatible display stand for it to wirelessly connect to. This works the same as the Peachu’s, rather than the Sunset Mushroom’s more complicated (and problematic) version, although unlike that toy it doesn’t include a lid. Instead, it is a simple white stand featuring the Pink Punch logo and fitted to the Dream Bunny’s small dimensions. When ready to charge, you can connect one end of the charging cord to a USB port and the other end to this stand, before placing the Dream Bunny onto it, with it working whether or not the toy has one of its silicone nozzles attached. When in progress the light on the Dream Bunny’s side will flash, with this becoming solid once complete, and charging should take around 1.5 hours to give you 1.5 hours of play time (note that the English instructions mistranslate this portion and leave out the charging time, but running the Korean portion through a translator gives the correct meaning). Also worth mentioning is that the charging cord is branded, which is a big help when you own as many sex toys as I do. Finally, Pink Punch recommends charging the Dream Bunny at least once a month to help maintain the battery.

Controls

Whilst the Dream Bunny is primarily intended to be controlled via the Pink Punch app, it does also have a single button on its side for manual control. Using this is easy, as you simply need to hold it down to turn the toy on, continue clicking to cycle through the seven modes, and then just hold it down again to turn it off. Of these modes, four are then steady speeds and three are patterns, and whilst I would prefer even more steady speeds, this is still double what my recent review on the Funzze Pink “O” offered. My biggest criticism of the Pink Punch Peachu’s controls was that when first turning the toy on (as it used a stand-by mode function), and then again when the suction was activated, it would run its suction at its highest speed for .5 seconds. This is an issue I’ve run into on a few toys now, and it is always a problem since such a sudden intensity can cause short-term pain or desensitisation to the clitoris. But ultimately it just means you need to be a bit more careful when using such a toy, ensuring it is already activated prior to application. Yet somehow things have become much much worse on the Dream Bunny… because not only does this sudden pulsation of high speed suction appear when turning it on and off, but it also runs in between every mode!!!! This might just be one of the worst errors in judgement I’ve ever seen applied to an air pressure wave toy, and I absolutely don’t know how this made it through in-house testing, let alone the 100 people who supposedly tried it before release.

The App

Before you (rightfully) dismiss this product and close the review, you’ll be happy to know there is a saving grace. Whilst it cannot help the on/off high speed pulsation, when controlling the toy within the app there is thankfully no further intensity spikes. In fact, even without this issue, controlling the Dream Bunny with the app is definitely the superior option, as just like the last two products it offers a speed range from 0 to 100, both for its steady mode and three patterns. And it’s not just for show either, as it genuinely feels like the toy is slowly increasing throughout all 100 of those levels. Outside of this, I don’t have anything new to say about the Pink Punch app as it has not changed since the last time I reviewed it, and for a detailed look at my thoughts you can check out my sex toy app guide. Overall though this is one of my preferred apps, as whilst its functionality is limited compared to others, it does everything it needs to and it looks good doing it, whilst also being almost entirely glitch free.

First Impressions

Between my previous experience with the Peachu, the complete stupidity of the repeated intensity spikes, and the fact that the Pink Punch Dream Bunny visibly uses tap suction, an alternate form of suction that can also result in injury, I was not feeling the most positive going into my testing of this toy. But trying it out for the first time on my finger, I was at least reassured on that first point, as it is clear that this toy has solved many of the issues I had with the Peachu. I was particularly intrigued by the four suction nozzles, as even though I am used to receiving multiple with these toys, usually they will feature the same design but with different sized openings, either by width or length, in order to work for a wider range of people. Yet Pink Punch have done things differently as usual, because these nozzles each feature a unique shape, whilst keeping the opening size the same. This is a bummer for those who require a larger opening due to the size of their clitoris, and also makes me question how much they’ll actually effect stimulation since so much of it is just based on the actual suction chamber, not the nozzle itself. The one I’m most excited about though is the Polka (yes, they have names), which features a star-like pattern to introduce some texture into the area that makes contact with my vulva. Meanwhile, there is also the Convex, which is more like a traditional suction nozzle, the Donut, which provides extra cushioning, and the Flower, which instead of a round shape looks more like a flower with four petals. Finally, as for the noise level, I must say I am impressed, as the Dream Bunny is very low in volume.

My Experience

My initial tests involved controlling the Pink Punch Dream Bunny manually. But even if the suction was some of the best I’ve ever felt, it would not be enough to make up for the high intensity pulses that happen every time I click its button. And considering this is very much not the case, with the suction itself being fairly lacklustre, using the Dream Bunny has been an unpleasant experience to say the least. The stimulation is definitely not the worst, but with air pressure waves that lean more on the side of buzzy, its high pitched nature doesn’t really compare to the far more thuddy and deeply penetrating suction I have grown accustomed to from higher-quality toys over the years. And whilst I do enjoy the ergonomic shape, which is both comfortable to hold and makes controlling it easy since my thumb naturally rests over the button (which can make me automatically press it even when using the app), unfortunately this just isn’t enough to win me over. Plus, even though I try my best to remember the pulses, I find myself constantly forgetting as I try to clear my mind in order to reach climax, and then repeatedly being surprised when sharp pain shoots through my clitoris every time I try to adjust it.

Whilst I am not the biggest fan of using toy apps personally (even though I enjoy reviewing them), and especially for a style of toy as intense as suction, I felt there was little choice when it came to the Dream Bunny. But even with the greater range of speeds and the removal of the sudden intensity spikes, I find the quality of the toy’s stimulation difficult to enjoy. The initial sensations are absolutely pleasurable, but as I continue to use it I find they don’t go anywhere, leaving me in a constant state of near-climax. Eventually I do thankfully orgasm, but it takes far longer than a usual suction toy and is also far less satisfying, requiring me to use another one afterwards, like the Satisfyer Pro 2 Next Generation or Womanizer Premium 2, to finish myself off. Another reason for this may be that once again I believe this toy struggles to form a suction seal around me, which also results in a louder volume during use than I had initially thought. Regardless, easily the worst part of using the Dream Bunny comes afterwards, as I am almost always left in varying levels of pain, whether I use the app or not. The first time I used it was the worst, with my clitoris being so injured that I felt it for days afterwards, but this is something that has persisted throughout my tests in lessening degrees, likely due to my increasing reliance on the app. Finally, it’s also worth mentioning that even though I tried all four nozzles and switched between them regularly, they made no difference to the stimulation. I did feel a slight change in sensation against my vulva, but in comparison to the intense air pressure waves, this was barely noticeable. 

Cleaning & Care

Cleaning the Pink Punch Dream Bunny is easy since it is waterproof. After use, simply remove the applied nozzle, and then pop both it and the body into some warm soapy water, before rinsing and leaving to air dry (depending on how messy things got, you might even be able to get away with just cleaning the nozzle). In addition, do make sure to not use silicone-based lubricants with this product, as it may damage the silicone it is made of.

Final Thoughts

If there’s one thing I’ve learned throughout my years as a sex toy tester, it is that bad products do exist. So this, especially from a new brand with only two other not-so-great toys under their belt, is not all that surprising. What does concern me, however, is the claims that the Dream Bunny has been extensively tested, and by professional reviewers like me no less. So unless vegetarians have very weird taste, I fail to see how such obvious problems weren’t picked up early in development. And even if this is all a lie, considering they asked me for my feedback on the now discontinued Peachu and I told them that the initial high intensity pulsation when activating the toy was a big problem, the idea that they took that advice and said, “Hey, you know what would be great? What if we include that pulsation every time someone clicks the button?!”, makes me worry for the future of Pink Punch. It is clear that the designers on the team know what they are doing. I love the unique shape of this toy, and even without its cute appearance, it made the Dream Bunny a joy to hold and control. Plus, once again the packaging looked great, the charging stand worked well, the app was easy to use, and even though the suction nozzles didn’t make that much of an impact, who cares, they’re essentially free! Sadly, they have all just been let down once again by the actual electronics, and dare I say it, by not enough real human testing beforehand. Overall, I’m still rooting for Pink Punch, and I dearly hope that one day soon they can match their superb designs to stimulation worthy of them. But for now, I cannot recommend the Dream Bunny.
