Diamond princess - traditional vibrator discontinued by Evolved Novelties - review by Ryuson

This small vibrator is intended for external clitoral use, and it does a great job at that! Along with your clitoris, this is wonderful at stimulating other external erogenous zones such as the nipples, or anywhere on your man's anatomy as well. Surprisingly, this is actually pretty decent at penetrative stimulation!

I have a very easy to please G spot, and this did the trick for me! It also would be nice to stimulate the opening of the vagina or the labia. Because of the shape I wouldn't recommend this for anal play, as it has no flared base or retrieval cord. Trying to insert this anally would end up with an embarrassing trip to the doctors, and I would hate for that to happen to anyone!

I think that advanced users may be a bit bored with this one, but could appreciate it's compact size and durability. I really feel like this would be a great toy for beginners because of the size, material, appearance, and just about everything else! While it wouldn't be my first suggestion for your first toy, I would not discourage it at all.

This would be great for a partner to use on you or for solo play. The non-anatomical appearance and small size would make it a nice way to introduce sex toys, and it is not large enough that a partner could bruise his girl when thrusting.

I live in the dorms and this is a wonderful toy for that! It's small size makes it easy to sneak into the shower, and is great to slip into a drawer or night stand afterwards.

This toy is made of a smooth plastic that has a bit of a velvety coat to it. It is very smooth against the skin and has little to no drag, which is nice because personally I don't need to use lubricant. Plastic is rated an 8 out of 10 on the Eden safety scale, which is pretty darned good! It is nonporous and can be sterilized.

The Diamond Princess had no smell or taste out of the package and has retained neither. It seems to be very well made and I feel like it will last a long time. The texture is best for people that like toys that get slippery easily, because if you like something with a bit of drag or texture this will leave you reaching for something else.

The 'diamonds' also seems to be made of plastic, but seem like they may fall out if you're rough with it. These actually make it a lot easier to grasp because of the added texture. I wouldn't recommend using these for stimulation because they're a bit pointy and hard compared to the kind, soft feel of the rest of this toy.

This toy reminds me a lot of my Seduction (Which is still my favorite toy) only in miniature form. I really enjoy the shape of this because it is essentially like an extra long bullet. It measures in around 4 inches, and insertable it comes in around 3 inches. The widest point is 3 inches around, so if you need girth this won't fill you up. This means that while you can use it clitoraly, you can also run it up and down your labia and clit or insert it. Versatility is always a plus in my book.

The shape is pretty and feminine, but is not exactly discreet. If someone found this in your purse or on your nightstand they would guess it's use pretty darned fast. Fortunately the size and easy to maintain material means that you can stash this just about anywhere. Perfect to slip under a pillow, toss into a purse or overnighter, or bury in a drawer you won't run out of locations for your Diamond Princess to hide.

The petite size would make this wonderful for beginner who doesn't want something large for insertion, or something flashy or expensive for clitoral stimulation. While advanced users might want something larger for insertion, this would be good if your favorite toy isn't as portable as you like or if you want something you won't mind using and abusing on a trip ect.

This toy has a turn-dial base which isn't as nice as the push button base the larger Evolved toys have, but I understand that the small size made this type of control necessary. It is pretty easy to turn even when it's wet partially because of the texture that the 'diamonds' add.

The vibrations are a solid 3 'vrooms' on this, but to some they might even consider it a very low 4 'vrooms.' This really surprised me because I was expecting it to be more around 2 like most toys this size. I found that it was wonderfully quiet, as well, and is mostly muffled under a thick blanket or completely covered up by the shower. Again, this is perfect for campus or group living situations if you don't want to disturb anyone.

The only problem I had with this one was it's inconsistent vibrations. When you turn it up it's often difficult to find the setting you want, and when you do it seems to be a little bit wavery. This doesn't bother me at all because I don't need to have strong and constant vibrations but it might let some people down that do. I notice that there are three distinct speeds with this toy, a 1'vroom,' a 2.5 'vroom,' and the highest which almost hits 4 vrooms.

I have submerged this for cleaning as well as used this in the shower and haven't had any problem with water leaking into it. It has a nice o-ring, so I can't see this ever becoming a problem, either. The variety of this and easy controls would make it nice for a beginner, especially if you think you'll need something with a bit of oomph even starting off. Advanced users may get boring and, again, if you know you need consistent vibrations you might be unhappy.

The smooth plastic makes the Diamond Princess very low maintenance. If you toss this in a drawer or your purse you can trust that it won't pick up any gunk or lint, and it's easy to rinse lube off, as well. Soap and water is great to use on this, but I use an antibacterial toy cleaner. You also can use toy wipes or wipe it down with alcohol or a 10% bleach solution for sanitary purposes.

I store mine in the awesome tin it came in in a cool dark place with my other toys. It also would be fine to keep this with other plastic toys in a drawer or even under your pillow since it keeps so clean. This is compatible with all types of lube, as well, so you can use whichever you prefer and not have to worry about if it will degrade it; always a plus in my book.

This came in exquisite packaging, which is always something that Evolved is wonderful at. When you first pick this up it has a cardboard sleeve around it so that it is completely discreet and easy to conceal. After you remove it you can see the wonderful tin that is elegantly adorned with purple flowers and text on a creamy white background. You can see the toy and is it not very discreet, but I would feel awesome giving this as a gift.

There is a small plastic ring around this because, unlike the larger Evolved tins, is opens on the side instead of having the lid pop off. The tin is super sturdy and great for storage, and if you take out the plastic insert you can fit several small toys along with this one and some accessories if you want.

From the great packaging, the strong vibrations, and the quiet motor this really is a nice toy. The wavery vibrations really don't bother me that much and for $24 it had to have some type of flaw! It's still not my personal favorite external vibe and not close to my favorite overall, my Seduction by Evolves. Still, I feel that this is a good toy, especially if you're looking for something to start with or something more compact and easy to store for traveling ect.

Great for the shower or bed, roommate living, and quiet enough for almost any situation I;m giving this one 4 stars.
