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

The Vivid's Swirl Marble Vibrator is an inexpensive, simple vibrator. It's a bit short for insertion, but it can be used for vaginal insertion. It's best for stimulating the clit, however. There is no flared base, so I would not advise inserting this anally. With no flared base and little length, this is a trip to the ER waiting to happen!

When I received it, I was a bit disappointed in its size because I like insertable vibrators. But it was okay as a clit vibrator This really is a perfect starter vibrator. It's cheap in price, but it does the job. It's not particularly powerful and won't satisfy a powerhouse, but it is a great intro to vibrating toys.

This would be great for newbies looking for a first vibrator and for everybody looking for a great gift. It's a good gag gift that is also usable. Plus, it's really pretty!

The vibrator is made from plastic. It's non porous and phthalates free,however it can not be sterilized because of its motor. The plastic is tasteless and odorless. The toy is also completely smooth. There is no texture and the entire toy is flat. It's smooth, but not completely silky smooth. There is a little drag on it that's not very noticeable. The lack of texture is especially good for those who are new to vibrators. It makes it easy to insert.

This vibrator is shaped like your typical traditional vibrator. It is streamlined and straight with a pointed tip. The pointed tip makes it slightly uncomfortable internally if you are particularly sensitive, but it does make insertion easy. It's also magnificent for pin point stimulation of the clitoris.

It's a short and thin vibrator, measuring only 5.5 in. in length and 1.25 in. in diameter. It's small enough to fit into the palm of your hand and is easy to stash.

The color is very vivid and makes the vibrator aesthetically appealing.

The vibrator is operated by turning the twist dial at the base of the vibrator. It is a true multi-speed vibrator. The dial is easy to use and simple to control. It takes one double a battery. It is quite loud, I doubt that it would be heard through a door.

The vibrations can be felt throughout the entire toy, but are focused on the tip. The vibrations are buzzy, but not overly so. The vibrations are not enough for those with clits o steel, but for those looking for moderately strong vibrations, this toy will suffice. It's slim and even small enough to fit between partners during sex.

The toy is relatively easy to care for. It is not waterproof and should not be submerged. Care should be taken around water so as to not damage the motor. It can be cleaned with a damp cloth or with some toy cleaner/toy wipe. It can not be sterilized.

Plastic is compatible with all lubes, even silicone and oil. Being so small, the toy is also easy to store.

The toy comes in a small plastic box with a picture of a woman on the back. The woman is not naked, but the packaging is not discreet. The case is not very useful for storage.

Personally, I found this toy a bit lackluster. It was strong enough to tease and quite good for pin point stimulation, but I just could not climax with this toy. But then again, I do have a clit of steel... It was also to short and thin for me when I inserted, but for a beginner, it would be great. I love the look of this toy and would definitely buy one or two as party favors!
