Vibrating champlette - strap-on dildo by Vixen Creations, Inc - review by mistre$$

This toy had been on my wishlist for a while. Surprisingly, it is my first actual dildo. I have had tons of different kinds of vibrators, but nothing like this, and nothing that could be used as a strap on! There are a lot of possibilities with this toy. You can use it solo (as I do), or as a strap-on, or for pegging, or for anal, or... the list goes on! Incorporating it into foreplay could be fun, as well. Being that there are two components, the purple dildo and the bullet, you could choose either and use them in a number of ways, which I really enjoy. The bullet is pretty strong, though it does not have multiple settings, just on and off at the press of a button. I am not sure if the bullet is supposed to be waterproof, but I don't know if I would want to risk that. The bullet take 3 LR44 batteries, which it comes with, but it's always nice to have extra on hand. The bullet is not loud at all, it can be heard through the covers but that is really not bad at all and it's probably more quiet than most of the bullets I have had in the past.

Personally, I have found that my favorite way to use this product is to insert the dildo and use the bullet to stimulate my clit rather than put it inside of the base of the dildo. I am not a big fan of internal vibrations, I prefer external, so that is probably why this is. I tried inserting it without lube at first, and I found that it was hard to get it all the way inside me. You're probably going to want to use lube with this no matter how you're using it. When I tried it with my Sliquid lube...wow! So much fun! I loved it. Definitely a great toy. Oh course, since it is silicone, it should not be used with silicone lube! Speaking of lube, you will want to put a tiny bit on the bullet if you intend to put it in the champlette and get it out easily. It sort of forms a suction around it that makes it hard to pull out unless you lubricate it a little bit. I have tried, trust me! It is best to lubricate it first.

It is 6 1/2" long, 5 3/4" insertable, and 1 3/4" diameter. I think that the last 2" closest to the base might get a bit wide for you if you are really tight.

I'm not sure I would really consider this toy travel-friendly. It's a bit big, so I don't really think it would be practical for most on-the-go situations.

Here is the packaging that it comes in. A fairly bulky cylindrical box, though the package is very informative, and is great for storage. This product is pretty easy to store, I am just going to keep it in this package until I maybe find another means of storage. Though I wish this box wasn't so big. I bought the Eden Toy Pouch to store it in, but I wasn't comfortable keeping it in that because it didn't fit well and the base was bent in the pouch. I choose to leave it in the package rather than have it lose it's shape. Another thing is that it is easy to clean, which I love. As the package says, it is 100% silicone rubber and can be washed with soap and water, or sterilized in boiling water for up to 3 minutes. So that means wipes, cleaners, soap and water, boiling...a number of ways to care for this toy. It is the safest material, and it's pretty low maintenance. Also, according to the package, it has a lifetime warranty which I didn't know until I read it! How great is that?!

Of course, I have to mention, the color of this toy is soooo gorgeous! One of the biggest reasons I bought it. The pretty, shiny purple color totally drew me in. It's just as pretty in person as it is in the pictures. If it was any other color, I would have been less interested in it, and probably overlooked it completely. Especially since it is so realistic looking and I really don't go for toys that are that realistic looking in general. But in this case, that pretty, swirly purple sold me. And I am glad it did! I'm going to have to stock up on more Sliquid Naturals and LR44 batteries now that I have this toy, because I think it's going to get a lot of use! Overall, I really can't complain, this is a totally great toy and I have no regrets about buying it!
