Symphony Interlude - traditional vibrator by Evolved Novelties - review by Dragon

At one point in time I got a surprise package. I opened it up to find a shiny tin metal case- bright red, silver and black. Prominently displayed through a plastic window was a purple vibrator. Taking it out, my first thought was jelly because it's shaky and floppy. (I asked my husband for a comparison and he said it reminds him of a limp dick!) It's not completely firm because this toy has three distinct sections. It's not jelly. It's TPR- meaning it can't be sterilized, and it's phthalate free. Then I read waterproof.

OK. This toy is not for me. I don't play in the shower. I'm not fond of vibration in general, and floppy? Two months later I decided to challenge myself.

Sarou wrote a review on this. It never even occurred to me not to use this in the shower. She didn't, and actually really enjoyed it. She pointed out that it has ribs which she loved. That is one aspect of this toy that I never even noticed.

Battery installation was fairly straight forward. Twist off the end, a battery tray slides out. Two double A's and instructions as to which end went back in. This compartment is watertight. I left the vibrator on the floor of my shower, then checked it. Jumping ahead, I have some concerns about the battery compartment. I removed the batteries because I wanted to try to break the vibrator- it didn't seem durable to me. The batteries removed easily, but I had some difficulty replacing the battery tray. When writing the review, I tried to access the battery compartment again, and it is no longer able to even be removed.

Trying to get interested in this, I experimented first with the vibrations. Vibrations are controlled with a single button at the end. Press once for low. Press again and you're at medium. Next is high, then off. Personally, I'm not fond of the ramp it up style of controls. In the shower low, and medium were barely audible. High sounded loud to me. Similar to what a lawn mower outside would sound like. I'm sure that nobody outside would have heard anything though. The vibrations can barely be felt through the entire shaft- they are concentrated in the tip of the toy.

Later, I tested the durability of this. After removing the batteries, I was deliberately trying to break it. Having three distinct sections- they stretch. I tried to stretch and bend it to the point where it would break. I didn't succeed, but the power wires do travel all the way down and are visible with pulling and stretching. I don't know how fragile they actually are to the abuse I was giving this!
