Sparkle vibes by California Exotic

We found this toy simple and un-intimidating. The plastic glides well with or without lube and was easy to clean. It is small --and discreet-- so it travels well. The small size was good for foreplay, but definitely leaves "room for desire." The multi-speed vibrator was fun, while not over-stimulating.

It emits a low hum, but is definitely audible in the same room and just outside the bedroom door. It sounds comically similar to a small electric razor –a viable excuse if suspicions are raised.

The toy is made of hard plastic, which is good for clean-up, but its non flexibility could be dangerous, especially for anal play. Also it can become lost with its non-flared base.

It takes double-A batteries, which is nice because you are not tied to a cord, however, you need to remember to turn it off, and not just lower the power all of the way, or the batteries will be dead the next time you take it out to play.

Another good aspect about this toy is that it comes in a variety of different colors and is affordable. If you want to buy a “his” and “hers” or a “front” and “back,” you can easily do so; and designated colors are ideal if you are cautious about sharing toys or uses.

She says: I found the vibrator fun but it is definitely a lower quality toy; the 'adjustable' vibrating strength is controlled by the turn knob at the base, it can be sensitive, and can be difficult to adjust when the toy is inserted. Otherwise, it is a lot of fun.

He says: This toy is good for a starter couples toy. It is simple, where some of the multi function toys could seem daunting. It can easily be used for extra stimulation during sex.
