Hot Octopuss AMO, a gorgeous bullet vibrator

The AMO is Hot Octopuss’ beautiful bullet vibrator. With it’s metallic, gradient color base, if someone catches a glance at it in your purse, they will probably think it’s a fancy lipstick. Oh but it is so much more than that! The AMO is very closely related to the DiGiT. By going through all the features and specs I think it’s the same circuit board, same motor, same battery, different body. So if you’re familiar with one, there will be no surprises in features with the other. The Hot Octopuss AMO has three buttons. On one side you get the power button, right below the charging port while on the other side you have your plus and minus buttons. While charging, a built-in LED will blink red under the power button. Once it’s fully charged, it’ll turn into a solid green. You can long press the power button to turn the AMO on and off, and you can cycle through the built-in modes by short pressing it. The first mode is a static, constant level of vibration, and after it there are 4 built-in patterns you can cycle through. You can use the plus and minus buttons on the other side to increase or decrease the power in 6 levels which turned out to be more than enough of a scale.

Pros and Cons

  • You can go broad with one side, and get pipoint accurate stimulation with the other!
  • Pretty powerful, rumbly vibrations compared to it’s small size
  • Simply gorgeous
  • The buttons are a bit hard to find mid-play and it’s a bit hard to press them
  • Sometimes pressing the minus button makes for an accidental press on the power button too

How it feels

I’ve had help from a lovely partner of mine in testing this toy. In one word: awesome! We played around with both sides, going broad with the less pointy side, then switching it up and going super pinpoint accurate with the other. She held it, I held it, and every variation was just great! We tested the DiGiT, the AMO and the KURVE in one steamy and intense testing session and the AMO was the one that she chose at the end to finish with. If I had to improve one thing, that’d be how much pressure the buttons need to be pressed and maybe the placement too. It’s a bit hard to press them, so if you want to change modes or intensity during play, you’ll need to stop for a second to do so. Also when trying to decrease the intensity, since they are at the same spot on opposite sides we accidentally pressed the power button a few times, which lead to it switching to the next mode and us having to cycle through the 5 modes to get back to the one we wanted. I think with a little getting used to this should not be an issue though as you’ll simply learn to hold the toy a bit differently when trying to press the minus button. Cleaning the AMO is super easy! Since it’s waterproof, simply rinse it and use a mild soap or alcohol-free sextoy cleaner then wipe it dry. That’s it, no fuss. What I also like to do with my rechargeable toys is pop them on the charger and give them a full charge before storing them away. This can come especially in handy with the AMO (and the DiGiT too) since due to their small form factor they can only go for about 40 minutes with one charge. You don’t want to start a play session and realize 10 minutes later that your battery is dead, so charge it to full before putting it away and thank yourself later.

AMO vs. DiGiT

If you just read the specs you’d think the DiGiT is bigger, but that’s only because of the finger ring part, so actually the silicone covered head on the AMO is bigger than the DiGiT’s! To know more about the DiGiT check out the review here!

Verdict

Overall the AMO is a very fun toy providing decent power and surprisingly deep, rumbly vibrations compared to it’s size. The design is very clever and it’s really good that you can easily switch between going broad or very accurate with just one toy. Oh, did I mention it’s gorgeous?
