Vivid's swirl marble vibrator - traditional vibrator discontinued by Doc Johnson - review by mar0505

I was nervous to try a vibrator, but my boyfriend encouraged me to. We picked this one as my first because it had a continuous adjustable speed and it wasn't too wide. I was very shy when I first tried it! It is hard plastic, but is very smooth.

I started off by using it on a very slow speed to just massage my clit. As I warmed up to it, I used it for penetration and at higher speeds. I used it very frequently; sometimes twice a day! I found that if I started off using it at a high speed that I didn't get too much pleasure, and I usually needed it to start off slowly.

For the most part I used it for solo-pleasure, but sometimes we would use it during sex and hold it to my clit during doggie style for instance. I did not use lube with it generally. For cleaning I washed it with a mild soap and warm water. I didn't like the noise that it created; a loud vibrating sound. I felt I had to be in a very private area with music playing to drown out the noise of it. I have since had to replace my first one, because the adjuster ring broke off. I will probably continue to buy it though because of the excellent price.

It did burn through the battery quite quickly, and having a sluggish vibrator and no new batteries was frustrating. I always had to have a supply on hand. It also became quite warm after 10-15 minutes of use which was not always comfortable.

After becoming more comfortable with it and sex toys in general, I wanted something wider and longer. I felt like I was inserting it all the way inside me to get the pleasure I wanted and I thought a toy with a better grip at the bottom would improve my experience. I am glad that I have this toy because otherwise I don't think I could have become as comfortable as I have with toys.
