Doc Johnson Bloom Intimate Body Pump Review

Personal Experience

Surprisingly Strong Suction

Out-of-This-World Orgasms

Design

They've definitely designed the Bloom to look more like a medical device than a sex toy. There's nothing wrong with that necessarily, and I actually think it looks quite nice, if a bit simple. It comes in a few different colors, though the body is always white. I really like that this pump comes with four different cups, which are great for different body parts but also work for lots of different body shapes.

Ease of Use

I definitely think that there's a learning curve with the Doc Johnson Bloom. The actual controls are very simple, since all you need to do is slide on a suction cup and then press and hold a button. There are two buttons to control the suction and the vibrations, and you simply keep pressing them to cycle through all the different speeds and patterns (though they can actually be quite hard to press!). However, the learning curve comes with figuring out how it works best for you, and how to use the air-release button to release pressure when it gets too much. Familiarize yourself with that button, because you'll almost certainly want to use it when you're starting out.

Quality

The Bloom is surprisingly sturdy and well-made, especially for a Doc Johnson product. They aren't exactly known for high-quality toys, but I can't find anything in particular to mark down this one for! The materials are all body-safe and feel nice to touch, it doesn't feel like any of the parts could break easily, and I didn't have any functional issues either.

Price

Depending on where you look, the Bloom can cost around $75-$160. That's a really big range, so I would recommend searching around different shops to find the best deal. I'm not sure I can say that it's worth $160, but anything around $100 or under would be worth it to me. I really enjoyed this toy, and I think the quality and the four different heads make it a fantastic investment. For your money, you also get a charging cable and a storage pouch.

Performance

After reading a lot of very mixed reviews online, I truly didn't know what to expect of this pussy pump. However, my experiences were almost universally positive, and I would encourage you to give it a go if you're curious. The suction was strong but modifiable using the air-release button, and the vibrations were powerful and fairly rumbly. The battery life could be a little better, but it's not too bad either. If you're expecting the same sensation as a clit sucker toy like the Satisfyer Pro 2 or a Womanizer, you should know that it is quite different, but still a lot of fun.

Packaging

I have totally neutral feelings about this packaging. It's clean and white, and has a photo of the product on the front with some information on the back. There's nothing explicitly sexual, which is nice if you want to keep the packaging or storage or throw it away discreetly. However, since it comes with a storage pouch, you don't really need to keep the box.

Materials and care

The body of the Bloom is made from ABS plastic, and the cups are made from clear ABS with removable silicone rims. All of these materials are non-porous and body-safe. The body is splashproof but not fully waterproof, so you can use it in the shower and rinse it under the faucet, but avoid fully submerging it under water. Since the cups are all detachable, you can submerge them all you like! Separate the cups from the silicone rims and wash everything thoroughly with warm (not hot) water and unscented soap. You can also boil the silicone rims to sterilize them, but do not boil the cups themselves as they are likely to deform at high heats.
