"Right off the bat, the Smile Maker that most caught my eye was the Frenchman. The soft silicone material comes to a petal-like shape at the top. The material becomes thinner and malleable, leaving the way you use it open to interpretation and preference. I was most excited for The Frenchman to see if the toy, combined with my fantasy could really simulate oral sex.
Taking the toy out of its box (the box comes in a white mesh bag- we are suckers for great packaging!) I first love the texture of the silicone. It is soft and comfortable to hold. Definitely something you would want to touch your body. The design is simple and uncomplicated, and a nice shade of blue, all things I want in my erotic products. After putting in a AAA battery, I turned it on through each of the three levels of vibration. It has a nice range, not the most powerful I have seen, but enough. The vibrations are somewhat quiet, which is nice as well.
After using the Frenchman, the highpoint is the sensation of the thin top piece and the likeness to the feeling of a tongue. I also chose to use a warming lubricant to enhance the experience. This is a toy that takes a little time to get you there, like a warm-up, which is totally welcome. The vibrations are not as powerful as say, the Millionaire’s would be, since the surface that contacts your skin is not as close to the motor of the vibe. Overall, it was a toy I will come back to and continue to try for a more unique sensation than your standard bullet-shaped vibe."

"[The Frenchman] has a very soft and flexible front (lip) which allows smooth and tender loving care. The Frenchman can be applied to all erogenous zones all over the body and is a perfect toy to provide sparkling foreplay for her and him."

"I can confirm they’re as lovely as they look - silky-smooth phthalate-free silicone, ice-cream colours and cute packaging. They are pleasingly small, and are battery-operated, which gives them a good buzz without being overwhelming.I particularly like The Fireman and The Frenchman, both of which offer external simulation. The Frenchman is the less intense of the two, and its soft silicone ‘ear’ is perfect for anyone who’s used their vibrator through a towel because it’s a bit too much otherwise (i.e. me)."

"These are probably some of the quietest vibrators I’ve ever used. Shape-wise I thought the Frenchman, the Millionaire and the Fireman were great. The Frenchman, in particular, was extremely flexible and I think he was probably the standout from an ergonomic perspective. (Loved the smiles on the base, by the way. Great touch.)"
