What is the difference between speeds and functions on a vibrator? Speeds are steady vibration at different strengths, from gentle to strong. Functions, sometimes called patterns, change the rhythm: pulses, waves, or vibration that builds and drops. Some people only ever use steady speeds, while others find a pattern gets them there faster. The INYA Ruse has 4 speeds and 6 functions, which the maker counts as 10 settings in total, so there is room to try both approaches.

How to use
Charge the Ruse with the USB cord before first use. Wipe it clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Apply a little water-based lubricant. Switch it on at the lowest of the 4 speeds and use it externally at first to get a feel for the strength. Raise the speed step by step, then try the 6 functions to see whether a pattern suits you better. The maker does not state that it is waterproof, so keep it out of the bath. Clean, dry and recharge it after use.
