Seduction Holiday edition - traditional vibrator by Evolved Novelties - review by *Keona*

The Seduction vibe by evolved is a traditional vibrator perfect for both external and internal exploration. Its rounded tip provides pinpoint stimulation for the clitoris and anywhere else on the vagina. Turned on or off, the tip works well for a bit of teasing as its silky texture feels great on the skin. When coupled with your choice of lube, Seduction, as a whole, will become that much more gratifying. I like to turn it vertically while laying down and sort of grind against it to experience the silky texture and deep rumble of the vibrations simultaneously. Venturing to other parts of the body is perfectly fine as well though. Do not use Seduction for anal play. Without a flared base and the inability to fully sterilize the plastic it's best to keep the Seduction strictly for the vag and bring in another toy for that other lovely spot. Upon vaginal insertion, you will find that the bulge of the shaft accomodates those who prefer thicker toys, while still being in the realm suitable for a beginner. For those still not impressed by Seduction's size it still has a lot to offer thanks to its strong vibrating capabilities.

The Seduction is made of a vibrant red plastic, and covered with a satin finish. Its silky smooth texture makes it possible to use with or without lubrication. With lube it provides an increase in pleasurable sensations. Beginners will appreciate the satin finish as it makes insertion relatively easy when coupled with minimal aid, either natural or artificial. There's no smell or taste to Seduction only a lovely caressable body.

The Seduction measures in at 7 ½ inches long. About 5 inches down it widens out to a bulb like shape with a 4 1/2 inch circumference that tapers out to a rounded tip. At the bottom of the base is a clear button that controls the 3 vibration settings. Click once for setting number 1, twice for setting number 2, and three times for the final setting. Pressing it a fourth time will turn the vibrator off. There aren't any vibrating patterns to choose from. It takes two AA batteries that you insert by untwisting the cap on the base. Around the base evolved is printed in white letters. The Seduction is seamless and extremely smooth to the touch with little drag against the skin at all.

The best part of the design is the satin finish. When I opened it I spent the first five minutes stroking it out of amazement of how smooth it was. It feels even better against more sensitive parts of the body.

It's design makes it appealing to beginners and experienced users alike thanks to the width of the bulb toward the end. In terms of being discreet, Seduction can easily be hidden but given the shape you won't be able to think up some colorful lie about what it is.

With three different vibration speeds, the Seduction does the job in a subtle yet satisfying way. Pressing the button at the bottom of the base allows you to cycle through the vibration speeds which all are relatively strong. The vibrations travel decently through the lower half of the Seduction, starting at the bulb and working its way down to the tip. Vibrations are strongest in the bulb as opposed to the tip where you'll get a moderate amount of strength. For this reason, the tip is again good for teasing as it's less likely to get you there in a hurry. Internally, the bulb will feel rather pleasant because of the vibrations being focused in that particular location. It's rigid with no room for maneuvering, so it may or may not provide gspot stimulation. At the very least it feels nice. The Seduction will work well anyway you choose to use it with any lube of your choice.

A downside to it's performance is definitely the noise level and the fact that you must cycle through the settings to turn it off. Even on its lowest setting its rather noisy, on its highest its even louder. Placing a pillow over it won't silence it at all. In fact it seems to get even louder when attempting to muffle out some of the noise. This coupled with the inability to turn it off quickly makes this toy far from discreet. So if you're ever interrupted you'll either have to hurriedly click through loud, louder, and loudest or untwist the battery cap to silence Seduction. Looking on the bright side again, the button isn't overly sensitive so you won't have many accidental turn ons. Also, the Seduction can be used for shower and bath time play as it is completely waterproof.

Clean up consists of your choice of anti bacterial soap and warm water. Seduction is waterproof so you won't have to be too careful while you're washing it. Do not boil the toy and be mindful of the temperature of the water before rinsing to prevent any damage to the surface of the toy. The toy is coated with a satin finish that may become compromised under certain conditions. I've noticed a few spots on the vibe that aren't as smooth as it once was and my only guess is that the water was either too hot or the rubbing alcohol was too strong. Evolved recommends that you use their line of sanitizing cleaners so that's another option for caring for the Seduction. They also give the option of using milk soap and water. To be on the safe side sticking with a mild soap would prove most beneficial in maintaining the quality of the toy.

If you share Seduction then be sure to cover with a condom for safety purposes, since again it can not be boiled. Use any type of lubricant you like and remove the batteries if you don't plan on daily use with your vibe.

Like other products in the Evolved line, the Seduction comes packaged in a cute tin decorated with red and black lettering and accentuated with a cute little red bow. For some reason I figured the bow was strictly for the display photos but it was indeed around the tin when I received mine which only ups the cuteness factor of the vibe. It also adds a nice touch if you wanted to give this away as a gift. The bow is also elastic so if you're big on recycling things you can make use for it elsewhere. (Ok enough about the bow lol). On the back of the tin there are a few tidbits of information like what type of batteries it takes, a short description on what the vibrator can be used for, and cleaning instructions. The tin is definitely designed for storage of your Seduction and if you should decide to throw the insert away it can be the new home to a few more toys or handy items.

This was my first vibe from Evolved and it definitely won't be my last. I love my Seduction and have used it frequently on the second or first setting only. The noise on those settings is about all I can stand without wanting to just turn it off. Its smooth surface makes it appealing enough to use without turning it on but eventually you'll remember that it is in fact a vibrator and therefore should be used as such. The noise is truly my only complaint with the Seduction. Nothing else about it has left me disappointed. It does what it was designed to do and it does it well making it a nice little addition to anyones toy collection from the experienced collector to those new to the realm of sex toys.
