Zini Janus?

Looks like it has interesting ridges and ribs for new sensations! How does it compare with the aneros devices you have? The anti-shock design looks interesting too. Oh boy, new toys to buy 🙂

thanks for asking @euphemistic! the ridges on the under side are nice, subtle but really feels good without being too big or too "ridged" and there's a little raised ball on the end that angles up towards the prostate, that thing is the truth, I can feel it perfectly! The anti-shock design, I get it, and it is cool, but the way I lay (on my back, knees bent, feet down) the pull handle part was rubbing on my cheeks below my anus too much and was irritating, so unfortunately I had to cut the handle off 🙁 But I need comfort and it did not effect the movement, in fact, it helped it a whole lot and it was way better after that. I didn't start cumming until I removed it.

It is most like the MGX, that's what gives me the most dry Os and super Os. I like the Eupho, I got one recently, but I haven't really settled in with it yet, I keep going back to the MGX. One night I just need to use only the Eupho, I think I had some dry Os from it, but when I need to go over the edge, mgx all the way. The progasm, a little too big. So this Zini is most like the MGX and next closest is the Eupho, but it looks like the Helix might be close too if you have that one.

The silicone is so crazy smooth, I need less lube and it while it doesn't slide in and out like the aneros models do, it moves enough and is super slick and the movement along the prostate is second to none. The P tab is a larger sized ball and it doesn't move to the side as much as the tabs of Aneros do, but I'm afraid I might have to add tiny balls of potable water-safe silicone putty to either side of the p tab ball to keep it centered. the p tabs all roll to either side of my perineum and don't stay centered, and I really never had any orgasms from prostate toys until I used putty on my MGX, and once it stayed centered, I was cumming instantly and have been for a few months now!

Thank you for the review. Those look nice. Those are the only other prostate massagers that caught my interest...besides a Nob Essence. I'll have to get one...or three ^^ You say they don't make Zinis any more? Which models are those? Would you suggest a good site to buy one, please? I live in the US. Thanks.

@wandering_smoke many sex toy online stores either don't sell these or they list them for sale, and when you click on the link to add it to your cart, it says "discontinued" or something related. Zini has a website and they still make toys, but I just don't know if they make the prostate toys anymore. The German version of Amazon has one for sale, I think the bigger one, and sextoys123 based in the UK has the Janus, the middle sized one, in stock and I got mine in almost a week, I'm USA here too.

I'm sad to see this link, I searched high and low for a site to buy these from, but this site has all of them, even the other two models that look really cool, the ones with bigger handles:

(link deleted to preserve legal entitlements)

There are a few other places that sell them, but they are based in Europe mostly.

I kind of want to try the biggest one now that I've got the medium! Feels so nice. Looking forward to my next session with this.

why would these, any of these, be better than an aneros may i ask?

These look like they violate the aneros patent. Don't be surprised if this thread disappears, and/or if Aneros sues them.

I didn't like the p-tab on the MGX (it hurt - can I get my money back?) but a round tab sounds perfect, like the progasm jr. I cut off the ring pull on all my devices anyway so that's not a problem. I don't have a problem with a wandering p-tab for some reason. I rode with someone who had a device that looked like the Janus Saber. He seemed to like it. The antishock version seems perfect.

Not saying that the zini line is better than anything. this isn't a competition. There are dozens of prostate models by different companies that all work on similar lines of the "p tab and insertable" shape that aneros uses. zini comes close to aneros but they are quite different. @darwin have you seen the way zini models are made on the inside of the silicone? Quite different from aneros.

Just wanted to bring this to light the folks here on the forum. Many discussion of dildo play, prostate related dildo play, different toys, etc. have been discussed here just fine in the past.

I don't see how they violate any Aneros patent either. They are significantly different. Of course there are only so many shapes you can use if you want an effective prostate massage. So of course some will look similar. There are prostate massagers out there that are almost exact copies of Aneros models, though. Those I think actually are copyright violations, but they're still on the market. A long time ago I mentioned one, but nothing happened. Today I found another. This one actually claims to be an Aneros. It's called the Aneros Special Edition. All they are, are black versions of the MGX and Helix classic, made with inferior plastic.

Oh, BTW, I found a knockoff of the medium Zini Janus Lamp, on USA ebay. So if Zini is in copyright violation, then what about the people that copied them? lol. If you want to find one, you'll have to do a general search for "prostate massager" with no filters or refinements. There are 4 listed now. 2 are on auction for under $10 total, and they're ending today. I thought about bidding, but I'd rather pay more and get a real Zini. The silicone on the knockoffs is visibly lower quality anyways. They are pretty good quality for knockoffs though.

Anyways, thanks for the info @techpump I can't wait to get one 😀 Two actually. They should make great additions to my little family. No better than the Aneros massagers. Just different. Like cousins 😉 ...Yeah, that's what it is. I'm a prostate massager polygamist hahaha.

Looks like an interesting toy! Why would Aneros care? They're not a threat. Companies probably only sue if an other company copying their product earns a lot of money from it and/or gains great publicity. Otherwise it would be a waste of resources (on Aneros' part).
That's why Apple sues Samsung even though there are thousands of iPhone counterfeits being made and sold in China every day.

I really want to know if these will work better than any aneros model out there, can anyone compare for us? Is the large comparable to a mgx or is it more in line with a progasm, what if the small too, closer to a eupho or mgx?

@inhope I'm guessing they're just different. Like a new Aneros model. I'll be getting one next month, so I could give you a review if you want?I did a size comparison, and the widest part of the large Zini is exactly as wide as a Progasm.

thanks wandering_smoke, what about the medium one? is that closer to a MGX or HELIX do you think? i am tempted to buy one but its a lot to find out!

@inhope having my MGX and the Janus next to each other, they are just about the same size. The length on the MGX seems a little longer a few mm maybe. I've still only had one session with the Janus, but had about the same experience I have with the MGX, so I'd say that the Janus works pretty good since it was my first go at it!

Over the next month I plan to gauge the differences/similarities closely, I will report my findings. I love research! I want to use the Janus again so bad, every day I see it and wish I had the time 🙂

Very interesting and What size did you get because I noticed they have small, medium, large?
Amazon in UK is also selling Zini Janus models but what's another good site to buy this product? Because Amazon for some reason will not let me buy this item

Just a question but in these times where everything is faked how do you know you're buying a genuine toy or a copy?

@techpump curse you! LOL! Just joking, now I am obsessing to try this thing. The anti shock version. I am stopping only because I have been burned by so many bad toys that do not work as well as Aneros.

No problem! I'm game to try anything 🙂 If mine was faked, it was an amazing fake. The thing was packaged so crazy, so many layers of formed plastic and an intricate cardboard background panel, it was like I bought an alien weapon from outer galaxy salesmen! It's held up great, no smell at all, no change in texture, strong little toy.

I got the medium sized one, it's about exactly the same size as the MGX but a little different. It is PERFECT!! OMG my orgasms now, mmmmmmm. Dry Os start within 2-3 minutes. I've had a few super Os with it. I got mine from a big sex toy distributor in England (which made me feel like it is a real one not a knock off fake, they sell toys in their original packaging). I know "original packaging" can be faked too, but this was just too good to be faked.

I cut the anti shock part off though!!! I needed to, it was preventing the toy from going as deep as it needs to go for me, and the second I used it again after cutting it off, I came 🙂 I also modified it further and added some silicone putty (potable water safe for kitchen plumbing jobs) to the P-tab so it stays centered and that made an even bigger difference. Its inert and after 30+ minutes of contact with my skin, I'd never know the difference.

that's my zini janus story and I'm sticking to it! I've taken the plunge and it is the "alien technology" in my arsenal of prostate weaponry LOL

@techpump seems you made some significant mods to it to get it to work the way you wanted it to. Hmmm .... I was looking at the large one, it seems to be about the size of Maximus (my current favorite Aneros model, followed by Helix Syn) Do to actually feel the ridges?

@xtimedt69 yes I have done the p-tab mod to my MGX and Eupho as well, i need it to stay centered to have prostate orgasms of any kind, the tab always used to go to the left or right, rotating the aneros by almost 30 degrees sometimes. Within a few minutes of mod'ing my MGX, I had major dry Os and I realized how 10 years before that moment with the MGX was wasted: I just needed to center the damn thing! I've also cut the handles off all of these toys, they get in the way when I sit or lay down, and prevent a lot of movement sometimes. But that's they way my body is and how it wants to work.

I can feel the ridges, sometimes. Hard to say. That little "ball" raised nub at the tip of the Janus, I can feel that little thing, it is the key to dozens of dry Os!! That's why I had to have it centered perfectly when it hits my prostate 😉

@techpump Oh that makes sense, but I have never had that centering problem. I may order one tonight I found a place in the US. Do you think the large one is about the size of Maximus?

maybe, if you have the size listed on the website you found, or if its on another one somewhere else, you might be able to compare the measurements to the whole aneros line. I don't have the maximus, but I bet its probably close. Definitely not progasm size I bet.

@techpump I can't get one anyway, none of the sellers I have found will ship one to the USA. I imagine they are prohibited because of the aneros patent. Oh well, I have all of the Aneros ones

something must have happened since this spring when I got mine, I got mine from England they shipped to the US. That stinks!

@techpump where did you get yours?

@xtimedt69 I got it from sextoys123.co.uk

@techpump Holy MOLY! It was going to be $81.00 US plus about $17 us for shipping. So I guess I just have to dream! :((

I know man, I know! But for the pleasure, I pulled the trigger on my wallet and it was worth it. I was saving up for a while to make a big sex toy purchase, I owed it to myself 😉

@techpump ordered .... $60.40 with shipping from UK. It looks like a Maximus Syn which I always wished they would make. Helix Syn is AWESOME!!!! and Max is my all time favorite.
