Mini vibra tease - vibrating anal plug discontinued by Cal Exotics - review by That Guy

I had originally purchased this toy to wear myself during sex with my girlfriend. This plan failed miserably. The Mini Vibra Tease simply doesn't narrow enough at the base to stay in on its own during sex. Incidentally, it's not all that "mini" after all. Despite having used slightly larger toys in the past, my experience was that the Vibra Tease was a little too large for comfortable use during sex. I would not call this a toy for beginners to anal play and would recommend it, if at all, for people with a little more experience. The Mini Vibra Tease is probably best used during oral sex or during doggy-style sex whereby one partner is able to manually manipulate the toy or hold it in place.

Except for the portion of the toy braced by the bullet vibrator, the Mini Vibra Tease is soft and exceptionally pliable. The vibrator itself adds some rigidity to the toy, but the vibrations themselves do not carry very well through the material. The toy is smooth, but the material can feel a bit tacky and I wouldn't recommend using it without lube.

To the best of my knowledge, this is the only TPR toy I own. I am meticulous about caring for my toys and only use water-based lubricants. Despite this, one day I came to find my Mini Vibra Tease had simply melted around the bullet vibrator. I have no idea what caused it, but the toy, alone in the confines of my underwear drawer, had somehow turned from the product you see advertised into a gelatinous mess around the area in contact with the bullet vibe. Needless to say, I threw the entire thing out and washed anything it had touched.

The size was a bit larger than I had expected, although not altogether unmanageable. For beginners to anal play, I'd recommend something smaller. The size might be justified by the presence of the bullet if the vibrations were more powerful, but the bullet proved a disappointment as well. The design of the Vibra Tease can also be misleading: while it looks a bit like a vibrating plug, it is really an anal probe. The toy will not stay in place on its own, and if it does, you're probably not using enough lube. The best thing I can say for the design of the Vibra Tease is that it isn't hard to remove when you're done with it.

The Mini Vibra Tease is controlled by a single push-button bullet in the base of the toy. The bullet itself is pretty weak, and the toy might improve substantially with a stronger vibe. As it is, the vibrations don't transfer well through the material and the batteries run down quickly. I would advise anyone considering this toy to invest in a stronger bullet of similar size and simply switch it out with the existing one.

Given the melting incident listed above, I'm not entirely certain that I'm qualified to speak on the proper care and maintenance of the Mini Vibra Tease. However, before it spontaneously degraded, I used a toy cleaner and cold water to wash off the toy. You shouldn't boil or throw TPR toys into the dishwasher, but I'd be extra careful with the Vibra Tease, as somehow my use of water-based lube, mild soap, and cold water somehow led to a meltdown.

As for storage, the material is rather tacky and tends to pick up dust, lint, and anything else light enough to stick to it. I'd store it somewhere safe from these materials and wash it off with water before use, just to be safe.
