Cobra Libre is not like a typical masturbator, but more of a male vibrator. You don’t thrust inside it, you don’t stroke it over your shaft, you don’t squeeze it.
Cobra Libre and Cobra Libre 2 (which are basically identical except for the buttons – see more below) work in a completely different way from a typical male sex toy.
If you are open minded enough to give it a try, you’ll discover a new way of getting off that doesn’t involve any sweating or stroking.
Before receiving the Cobra Libre I had read a few reviews, just to see what other people thought about this male sex toy and one of the common traits of many reviews was: this thing is too short.
Is it really short? Let’s find out in this Cobra Libre review.
Cobra Libre Masturbator’s Unboxing
The first impression I had when opening the anonymous box containing the Cobra Libre was the size of the packaging. I was expecting something much bigger and was surprised to see how small the toy is.
The good thing about it is that its size is travel-friendly, it doesn’t take much space and you can easily carry this male vibrator with you.
On Cobra Libre’s packaging I also noticed another couple of interesting details:
1) The magnetic charger with USB port
2) The “made in Germany” badge
The magnetic charger is actually a great idea. These people at Fun Factory aimed to make Cobra Libre waterproof, so that you can easily wash it but also for other fun reasons… And putting an actual socket on the toy would have made things complicated.
The magnetic charger solves this problem, you simply need to move the end of the cable close to the back of the toy (basically where the Fun Factory’s logo is) and it will stick to it instantly.
On the other end of the cable you have a USB plug, which allows you to recharge your Cobra Libre from your computer or wherever.
Where’s the Cobra Masturbator Made
We live in a fun world where people believe all sort of crazy stuff. Most of the times this crazy stuff is great for marketing purposes.
For example some believe that Japanese people are great with computers, or that African American people are better at dancing than others, or that French people are romantic and that New Zealand people are big (which is not a belief, they are actually huge…).
So with German people, its common belief everything made in Germany is good quality, I highly doubt this is the truth, but I still feel some sort of confidence when handling a German piece of electronics…
They wrote it on the package: “Made in Germany” and it is something to take into account especially when considering where many toys are made and how cheap their quality is. You buy a sex toy made in an evolved European country where you would expect they have high standards and rules for quality control.
Cobra Libre’s Features
Unless you are Swedish, you hate IKEA’s user manuals, they are impossible to understand and successfully designed to be confusing, but even though a couple of screws will always be left over you will generally manage to make your IKEA’s furniture stand still.
I also managed to use Cobra Libre, don’t get me wrong, what I’m saying is that they could have designed their user manual a little better, maybe writing a couple more words to explain the different types of vibration, maybe even name each vibration so you know what you are trying and maybe write some more about the different ways you can use it.
In the end, using Cobra Libre is very straightforward, you don’t need a degree in Electronic Engineering but finding myself with only images and not words was a little disappointing. Thankfully the Cobra Libre experience was so good that it becomes easy to forgive them after you try it.
How to Use the Cobra Masturbator (Cobra Libre vs Cobra Libre II)
- Original Cobra Libre
You have an horizontal button and two vertical buttons next to each other. The horizontal one is used to switch Cobra Libre on and off (you gotta hold it for a few seconds to make it work) and the other two give you multiple types of vibrations.
Hold the horizontal button for a couple of seconds, it will switch Cobra Libre on and it will start vibrating, then touch (not click, there is nothing to click since it’s a touch pad) either the left or the right button and it will change vibration.
There are 8 modes of vibration for the left button and 8 for the right one, so in total there are about 16 types of vibration.
- Cobra Libre II
There are 2 buttons in this (newer) version. The plus button changes the vibration and the minus button changes the speed. Everything else is identical to the original Cobra masturbator (in my photos).
First step, I switched on the Cobra Libre on and I inserted my penis into it. It doesn’t take more than a few seconds and I get an erection, this thing feels good already.
At that stage I thought: “hmmm…. I think I might need some lube here”, so I put some normal water-based lubricant on the top part of my penis and then the Cobra Libre back on it.
At the beginning you need to make yourself familiar with the vibrations and find your perfect position. This is what Cobra Libre masturbation is all about: finding the perfect spot and the perfect vibration for you.
There are plenty of options available and it only takes an experimental attitude. It’s also very relaxing and less tiring compared to classical masturbation.
My Cobra Libre Masturbation Marathon
Stage 1: That feels good baby
- Cobra Libre feels awesome right from the beginning
- I try and keep touching the buttons to test every possible vibration
- I stand up, sit down, turn Cobra Libre upside down, I am still looking for the right position while feeling a deeply relaxing pleasure
Stage 2: Hmm… What am I doing wrong?
- Thought in my mind: “hmmm… why I am not getting close?” I am enjoying, it feels really good but I am not getting close…
- In a instinctive attempt of making things work, I start using Cobra Libre like a pocket pussy and thrust into it, and then I though: “Hey this thing is too short!”
- I realized that my “Hey this thing is too short!” is just the kind of reaction I have read in other reviews, but still many people say Cobra Libre feels awesome so they must be doing something different, but what?
Stage 3: Forget about it, I wanna feel it!
- I found a couple of Cobra Libre’s vibrations that feel so good I just want to lie down and enjoy them
- I lie down, entering Cobra Libre while it sits on my stomach, oh yeah man, that feels good
Stage 4: Found a little trick
- I found that relaxing your pelvic floor helps enjoying the sensations even more
- In my mind: “Jeeeeez, this is why women love vibrators so much…”
- In my bed, my eyes closed, enjoying this relaxing pleasure
Stage 5: Got the right vibration for me
- Found my favorite vibration, it feels like slow oral sex, awesome
Stage 6: Right spot + right vibration = OOO
- While experimenting with Cobra Libre’s position I finally get the secret: you need to find your sweet spot between the head of your penis and the shaft, then you need to place the Cobra Libre to massage that part.
- Once found the right spot and the right vibration: …Game Over
The Pros And Cons Of Cobra Libre
By now, you already know that the Cobra Libre is a vibrating male sex toy that allows you to stick the head of your penis into it, so you can lay back and indulge in all sorts of pleasurable vibrations.
But, just like any sex toy, there are advantages and disadvantages to using the Cobra Libre to spice up your masturbation routine.
So let’s take a recap of what I loved, and what I hated about Cobra Libre.
Pros
- Unique design: In all honesty, the Cobra Libre has a very unique design. It’s somewhat like a pocket pussy, except you can’t stick your penis all the way into it (just the tip). But it’s also a vibrator at the same time, which I feel makes it a truly unique take on a male masturbator.
- Hands-free experience: One of the standout features of the Cobra Libre is that it’s a hands-free masturbator. Once you insert yourself into the Cobra Libre, it’s meant to stay in place, stimulating your penis with nothing more than the toy’s unique vibration settings. In other words, you get to stick your penis in, sit back, and wait for the toy to take you all the way to pleasure town.
- Powerful vibes: Another great thing about the Cobra Libre is that it has an impressive array of 11 different vibration settings. So whether you like a strong, steady rumble, or you prefer quick and erratic pulses, Cobra Libre is sure to have a vibration mode that you’ll love.
- Targeted sensations: The Cobra Libre also targets its vibrations directly to your frenulum and glans, which, as we’re sure you already know, are the most sensitive areas of your penis. These intense, targeted vibrations are guaranteed to help you feel good in all the right ways.
- Waterproof: Another thing I love about the Cobra Libre is that it’s completely waterproof. So whether you plan on using it in bed, or you want to get down and dirty with your toy in the shower, you won’t have to worry about burning out the motors or ruining the toy!
- Lockable: Have you ever brought a sex toy on vacation, only to be standing in line at the airport when you notice your luggage is rumbling because you accidentally turned your vibrator on while unloading your bags from the car? Me neither… But it can probably be pretty embarrassing if it happened. Luckily the Cobra Libre has a handy travel lock so you’ll never have to worry about embarrassing yourself like that at customs.
- Body-safe: Finally, Cobra Libre also states directly on their packaging that their sex toy is made from 100% body-safe materials, which I don’t think I need to explain why that’s a good thing.
Cons
- Limited size compatibility: Cobra Libre is pretty much a one-size-fits-all sex toy. So depending on the size of your penis, it might not fit quite right. And while the toy’s opening does have a bit of play to accommodate different sizes, dudes with larger members may find it too tight, and guys with smaller penises may not find it tight enough.
- Noisiness: Because of its powerful vibration settings, the Cobra Libre does generate quite a bit of noise when you’re using it. This makes it nearly impossible to use the toy covertly, which is a major buzzkill for anyone with roommates, or anyone who prefers a more inconspicuous vibrator.
- Price: While I do truly believe that higher-priced sex toys are generally better, coming in at a bit over $100 (at the time of writing), the Cobra Libre is a slightly more expensive male sex toy.
Overall, I really do like the Cobra Libre as a male penis head vibrator.
It’s a unique take on a male vibrator that provides a wide range of different vibration settings, and delivers all the best sensations to the most sensitive parts of your penis.
And really, what’s not to love about that?
But like we’ve said, I have heard a lot of users complain about the toy being incompatible with their penis size.
So depending on the size of your junk, you might want to think twice about buying this toy.
How to clean the Cobra Libre
Cleaning your Cobra Libre penis head vibrator, just like cleaning any sex toy, is an important part of practicing safe sex, maintaining personal hygiene, and prolonging the lifespan of the toy.
So how do you clean the Cobra Libre?
- Turn off and disconnect: Before cleaning, make sure the Cobra Libre is turned off and disconnected from the charger.
- Wash: The Cobra Libre is waterproof so you should be able to toss it directly into a sink of soapy water to give it a good scrubbing. However, you can do just as good a job cleaning it by using a wet, soapy washcloth to wipe down the inside and outside of the toy. Just make sure to clean away any dirt, lube, or bodily fluids that may have been left behind.
- Drying: Once you’ve cleaned the toy inside and out, you can pat it dry with a clean towel or let it air dry on the counter. Just make sure that you’ve allowed the Cobra Libre to dry completely before plugging it in to charge.
What Is Cobra Libre II?
Cobra Libre II is simply an upgraded version of the original Cobra Libre penis head vibrator.
Like the original, Cobra Libre II is a male vibrator and masturbation toy, manufactured by the German company Fun Factory.
Overall, it’s roughly the same toy as the original Cobra Libre, but with a few minor improvements.
Here’s what sets the Cobra Libre II apart from other male vibrators on the market.
- Dual motors: The Cobra Libre II features two powerful motors, one located in the base and the other in the tip. These motors allow for more intense, targeted vibrations that are almost guaranteed to give you a mind-blowing experience.
- Ergonomic design: The Cobra Libre II has a sleek and ergonomic shape that fits comfortably in the hand. I feel the design is rather intuitive (i.e. it’s not very hard to figure out where to put your cock), and even the control buttons on the Cobra Libre II are strategically placed for easy access and navigation while you’re using the toy.
- Magnetic charging: The Cobra Libre II uses a unique magnetic charger connection, which helps keep the toy waterproof and safe for use in wet and steamy environments, which is where I hope you’ll be using it. In other words, you don’t have to worry about getting water in the charging port.
- Two hours battery life: Another thing I love about the Cobra Libre II is that, once fully charged, the unit is designed to have a battery life that will last anywhere between 40 to 120 minutes. That’s up to two full hours of pure, penis head vibration bliss!
Where Can I Buy Cobra Libre?
Fortunately, Cobra Libre (or Cobra Libre II) isn’t hard to find. You’ll find it in stock at many of the leading online sex toy retailers, which includes:
- Lovehoney: As one of the leading online sex toy retailers, Lovehoney is another great place to find male vibrators, like the Cobra Libre.
- Fun Factory: As the maker of the toy, this is probably the best place to buy it and ensure that you’re getting a 100% authentic Cobra Libre or Cobra Libre II.
- Adam & Eve: Adam & Eve is another great place to shop for your favorite sex toys. However, at the time of writing this, it doesn’t look the they currently carry the Cobra Libre or Cobra Libre II.
Finally, you might also see the Cobra Libre listed for sale on third-party websites like Amazon or Ebay.
And while there’s nothing wrong with buying from these places, you should always read reviews and do your research to ensure that you’re buying from a reputable retailer.
After all, buyers beware!
Final Thoughts
It took me almost 1 hour to come, which is good and not good depending on your point of you, but that makes me understand why some men have troubles with this toy, it needs a different attitude. For me it was a great experience and reminded me of my Tantric studies, where you simply have sex enjoying the experience, feeling the sensations in the moment.
If you see masturbation like a race, than Cobra Libre can be either not good for you, or a challenging pleasurable experience. Sometimes you get very close to coming, you know that if you would simply stroke yourself once you would come, instead you can’t and the vibration takes you there slowly… which feels great and intense.
One thing you’ll find is that Cobra Libre is very easy to wash and it doesn’t leave a mess around. Once you are done, you can easily wash the inner part in your sink or wherever you prefer, and it’ll be ready to be used again. A different toy. Cobra Libre is all about experience and intensity and less about jerking off. It’s also amazing to notice how far we have come in breaking the stigma of masturbation.
Product Legacy & Key Features
The original Cobra Libre by Fun Factory was a pioneering male stroker, designed for hands-free use with powerful vibration settings focused on stimulating the head of the penis. Its unique design and motor strength made it a favorite among male users. The Cobra Libre II builds on this foundation with upgraded motors, and refined controls.
