Quivering cock - traditional vibrator by Doc Johnson - review by biggieaddict

Pick a spot and stuff it! Seriously, this is a good one for those who are new to toys, experimenting with size before committing to a really nice toy, or limited by cash flow. If I had to pick a toy to pass out to a dozen party guests (price considered), this one would be it! It has its limitations regarding longevity (more on that later), but it has a massively powerful vibe and the sheath has a very nice shape. It has a generic DONG appearance: it is not realistic, and there is no drool-worthy CyberSkin look and texture, but neither is it abjectly ugly. It still can pull off cute—well, ALMOST. Function is where this thing earns its stars! The big head is very soft, but not floppy soft, and compresses to fit. Then it fills. The groove behind the head makes for a great BLOOP! sensation, followed by a nice slide down a thickish shaft covered with all those nice veins.

This toy is rubber with a foamy feel to it and a pearly surface in pink. It has an odor, but not bad. It has a good, soft feel; there are no harsh bumps; and it is softer than any of my jelly toys. It warms quickly and is soft enough that a preheat is not needed. Overall, it has a very light heft until you put the batteries in.

There are the usual attachment issues with dial-base toys, though this one has a much better cap and switch; and there are no problems with the cap unscrewing and the batteries falling out when you try to turn it up. I hate that. It is stiff, as the actual vibe is a sturdy, hard plastic model with a smooth, asymmetric taper; and the Softee bit is just a sleeve. There is no seal for water use.

The core vibe does have a transition from smooth to a longitudinally ridged texture, which has potential to scratch as it is a thin corner dropping a millimeter or two into the ridges. This transition is at least halfway down, past the full girth and below the vibe weight, so vaguely careful use (or paring with an X-Acto knife) may or may not be needed. If the sleeve is on, the point is moot anyway.

The other drawback is the sleeve's design: it will eventually tear or start losing the surface coat, creating rough spots (condoms are recommended). But, given the low price, who cares? You'll definitely get your $12 worth of jollies and still have the core vibe. I spend more than that on chocolate some weeks.

First, let me say that, based on comments, there seems to be some variation in the stock. The model I had was pink and big, powered by C batteries, and a bit larger than the one shown. It was probably a 10" model. Others have mentioned AA batteries and differing sizes. The overall shape and mold were identical, so I'll run with that.

This is another vibe for second-step users or size-tolerant beginners. I say beginners because when I finally got the ^*^%$$ blister pack off, I said, "Damn! This is going to fill me up, but it's gonna hurt." Not at all—you'll just ease and stretch over the head, which DOES compress comfortably, then you DROP an extra inch down the shaft. It feels really, really nice; and so does riding the shaft over all those thick veins.

The effect depends on the head size relative to the shaft and the transition, so it should hold true for the other sizes. Speaking of that, I'd like to mention that if you are new to girthy toys, especially if you are planning anal, take a close look at the shape of the coronal ridge of any toy's head. If it has a wide flare and deep groove, be sure the toy is made from a material softer than typical jelly or is a size equal to or smaller than your usual pick. A flare to a narrow ridge can hurt in a way you'll feel for a couple of days, especially if this is a new thing. On the other hand, if you are a sadist consensually pegging your significant other (of whatever gender) for denting the new car, carry on.

That said, this toy did NOT have that issue. Oh, it is absolutely not discreet and has a narrow base that will cause it to fall over from its hiding place behind the bookend whenever "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" is played. That reminds me: it was pretty quiet for the power. I don't think it was audible through a closed door over normal background noise.

Gnaw, chop, or blast through the packaging. Add batteries, screw on cap (I'm going to cross-thread alert: it has fine threads), and spin the knob for variable speed control. Blast off. It performs very well.

There is no seal for water use.

Storage is nothing special: wash, wipe and bag. But I did notice that it retained dents if a book or a cap on a toy base pressed on it while stored.

It was packaged in another blister pack, which was hard to open but without the porn star plastered on it. I store it bagged since the pack didn't survive. It is not a major lint magnet.

This was another first for me: the first vibe I bought myself. I have fond memories of it but too few as it lasted no more than a year or two and possibly less than one. Be sure you get a C-battery model if you can, and it will rock your world. Or get a bulk order and have the kind of party your parents have jealous nightmares of.
