Hello, everyone.

I have a question for anyone who owns a HEPS Kinsey...

I have a disability that makes my hands EXTREMELY weak. I need someone to help me cut my fingernails, for example, because I'm too weak to squeeze the clippers. Very, very weak.

I'm worried about whether I'll have enough strength to pop the end-cap off. From the research I've done, it seems one must squeeze the case of the device and pull to release the cap.

How hard do you have to squeeze to release the cap, compared to, say, fingernail clippers? I know this is difficult to answer objectively, but any input you guys can offer would be highly appreciated.

The kinsey is a great toy.  Recommend that you just leave the cap off.  Its not hard to take off...rather easy.  However, you need your hands to manipulate the device so that could indeed be taxing on your hands.  Its not a hands free toy to say the least.  Hoppe this helps.

It's a little easier to pop the end-cap off than it is to use nail clippers, but the Kinsey HEPS has multiple parts that require decent hand strength.

There are 2 caps that control the air-flow and they should be taken off to let water drain when washing the toy. They are a bit hard to take off sometimes because you have to push hard and rotate.

The other issue i see are the plastic pressure plates that you press down on to change the sensation. You can also take them off and switch around the positions for a more pleasurable sensation. They aren't very hard to press down on, but they are a pain to take off and lock into a different position.

My advice to you would be to buy something light-weight that is somewhat hands-free. Go with something like the Fera Master because all you have to do with that is move it up and down... there are no buttons to press or take off. The clean-up is very easy as well, just rinse it out a couple of times and you are done.

I hope this helps you out and i hope you have a positive experience with whichever toy you are going to buy!
