A Slow Evening With SECRET LANGUAGE, Step by Step
The ears are either on the right spot or the whole thing is a waste of a good motor.
A sequence for a rabbit-style device that fixes the alignment first: ears positioned, then the lowest combination, then one variable at a time.
The Short Answer
Position the ears before anything goes in, and check the placement with the device off. Most people insert first and then try to chase the right spot, which never works. Once it's aligned, run both motors on their lowest settings for 10 minutes before you change anything. The classic rabbit design rewards patience and punishes fiddling, which is why the first session is usually the worst one.
Why the Ears Are the Whole Thing
Rabbit-style devices live or die on a single measurement: the distance between the shaft and the external arm.
If that distance matches your anatomy, the ears sit where they should with no effort. If it doesn't, you spend the session holding the base at an angle, and the motor quality stops mattering. This is the one spec that isn't on the box, and it's the only one that decides whether the device works for you.
SECRET LANGUAGE uses the classic layout: a main shaft and a pair of ears on a flexible arm. The flexibility buys you roughly half an inch of adjustment in either direction. That's enough to fit most bodies, and not enough to fit everyone.
Step One: Set the Ears First
Switch it on, then off. You're not using it yet — you're finding the position.
Hold the device against your body, external arm first, with the shaft pointing down and away. Find where the ears rest naturally. Note the angle of the base at that moment. That angle is what you'll keep.
Then insert slowly, keeping the base at that angle. If the ears move off the spot, withdraw and start again rather than adjusting from the inside. Two attempts at this is normal. Five is a sign the arm is too short for your anatomy, and no technique will change that.

Step Two: The Lowest Combination
Both motors on the lowest setting. This is the combination to learn on, and it's the one most people skip.
At the lowest combination, the device runs around 45 dB — quiet enough to hear a clock in the same room. The two motors produce slightly different frequencies, and that difference is what the design is for. You feel it as texture rather than as two separate vibrations.
Stay there for 10 minutes. Don't touch the controls. If nothing is happening at 10 minutes, the ears are off the spot, not the power too low. Go back to step one.
Lubricant, water-based, applied to the shaft and the ears before insertion. Reapply at the 5-minute mark rather than waiting for friction to tell you.
Late at night, this is the step where people give up and just push it in. The result is a session spent chasing a spot that was never reachable in the first place.
Step Three: Switch, Don't Crank
When you do change something, change one motor at a time.
The useful move is switching which motor is higher, not raising both. Ears at level 4 and shaft at level 2 feels completely different from ears at 2 and shaft at 4, and most people never try the second version. Spend 2 minutes on each before you decide.
There are 10 levels on each motor, which sounds like range and mostly functions as a way to stay in one place. Pick a setting, leave it for 3 minutes, then move one notch. That pace is slower than it feels like it should be, and it's the reason the second session goes better than the first.
By the time you've run through both combinations once, you'll know more about what you like than any review could tell you. That knowledge is the actual product here. The device is just the thing that made you sit still long enough to find out.

What This Won't Solve
If the ears don't reach, they don't reach. A rabbit device with the wrong shaft-to-arm distance is the wrong device, and buying a second one at random is how people end up with a drawer full of things they don't use.
It's also not the right first purchase if you've never used internal vibration. The alignment step assumes you already know what feels like the right spot, and if you don't, start with something external.
Skip it if you've already tried a rabbit and the ears never lined up. A different model won't change the geometry of your own body.
The honest trade-off: the classic design gives you two zones in one hand, and it demands that your body match its geometry. If that sounds like a gamble, it is. Buy from a place with a return policy.
Align First, Then Turn It Up
The sequence is boring and it works. Two zones, one position, no fiddling.
