Metallic massager - traditional vibrator by Cal Exotics - review by lexical

This is a plain old traditional vibrator. There are absolutely zero bells and whistles here folks. It's a hard plastic device that's mildly phallic with a twist-bottom multi-speed control. By all definitions, it's pretty darn innocent looking, actually! It's not at all intimidating. But this thing packs a punch. With two C batteries, how could it not?

The dial-base control is always kind of a pain in the neck in my opinion. I always end up accidentally twisting it while I'm playing, making for vibrations that are suddenly overpowering or (worse) non-existent. But it is an old stand-by and is very simple to use. Twist one way, it turns on. Keep twisting and the vibrations get stronger, to a point. Twist it back and it shuts off. Keep twisting and you'll be able to remove the base, which enables you to replace those big ol' C batteries.

I do feel that this thing eats through batteries pretty rapidly. It has since fallen to the bottom of my toy bag; for no reason other than the fact that I very rarely have extra C batteries on hand around the house. I can never seem to bring myself to buy them specifically for this one toy... although maybe I should!

The end is tapered for easy insertion, but I found it to be a little too sharply tapered. Almost pointy. If you push it too deeply, or at a poor angle inside yourself, that pointy end can be a little painful. It's fairly slender to begin with so I don't anticipate insertion being a problem for most.

The vibrations are powerful and the noise is up there as well. This is definitely near the loud end of the scale in comparison to the rest of the toys in my collection. Behind closed doors, there is still a discernible humming noise happening, in my experience.

There is no noticeable taste or odor from the material and one of the most positive things about this toy is the easy clean-up. It doesn't get much easier. It's non-porous plastic, so it just needs a quick soap-up and wipe-down and you're done! Plus, things don't stick to it, like with rubber and that's always wonderful. Even still, if you plan on sharing this insertable toy, be sure to use a condom on it to avoid transferring any germies.

Honestly, this thing is a fantastic step up from a beginner's first toy and it is a lot of bang for your buck. It is by no means fancy or elaborate, without different attachments and multiple functions, but it sure as heck gets the job done. It's not the highest quality toy around. The build of it feels cheap, light, and a little flimsy. However, it's certainly worth the money you put in.
