Jimmy Jane Form 6

Jimmy Jane is in the luxury toy business and it shows in the seamless, eco-friendly design of their Form 6 vibrator. The toy is re-chargeable, phalphate- and latex-free, made from body safe silicone and is, generally, a beautiful toy (it even charges on its own attractive base). The design of the toy focuses on ergonomically fitting into a woman’s body. The G6 also has two motors making a very powerful toy for external and internal stimulation—and it’s also waterproof so it can be used in the bathtub, or the ocean—whatever floats your orgasm.
