Salsa - discreet massager discontinued by We-vibe - review by vanilla&chocolate

I could literally go on for hours about the We-Vibe Salsa. It is a deliciously powerful vibrator intended solely for clitoral stimulation. The end has a soft point in order to provide that yummy pinpoint clitoral action that so many of us love. However, I have also used it on my nipples, which yielded wonderful results. I could even feature this vibrator being used on sore or overworked areas of the body that do not involve the genitals.

This toy is NOT intended for anal stimulation, primarily because of its small size and lack of a base. It is much smaller than most clitoral stimulators and has absolutely no base with which to anchor it away from the body, so don't even think about using this one anally! These same points can be applied to using it vaginally, as because of its size it may be difficult to grab if it were to become lodged in the vagina.

I personally think that this toy will work for any woman, whether this is her first or millionth time masturbating. For beginners, this is a non-intimidating and smooth vibrator with a basic shape that will likely bring them to their first orgasm if they have not had one. For advanced users, this is a gorgeously well-made clitoral vibrator that will have them singing the praises of salsa!

I have used the We-Vibe Salsa only in solo situations. However, because of its incredibly compact size, I could easily see this toy being placed between two people, particularly if it is difficult for the woman to orgasm through intercourse, as it is for most women. I think that this toy was designed with a dual purpose in mind, both for providing intense solo play as well as having an appropriate size for easy and convenient use with couples.

Oh, and this little wonder isn't just for women! Men can use it as well, though I would strongly advise against p-spot use - stick with the penis! A woman could use it on a man during a blowjob or handjob, and it of course could be used by a man during masturbation. I'm firmly convinced that this toy can provide earth-shattering orgasms for both sexes; one must simply be inventive.

This vibrator is made of plastic. It is completely smooth to the touch and has absolutely no smell or taste. This material earns an 8 on Eden's safety scale. Additionally, it qualifies as food-grade material that is free of latex and phthalates. For those with sensitive skin, genitals, or both, it qualifies as hypo-allergenic.

Because of the smooth texture of the We-Vibe Salsa, one could not say that extra stimulation is added. However, the lack of texture qualifies this toy as one that would work incredibly well for beginners, or for those who simply do not appreciate textured toys. In my opinion, smooth toys are automatically more simple and therefore more universal. Besides, texture might just take away from the mind-blowingly powerful vibrations that this vibrator offers, which would be a shame!

The design could best be described as sleek and simple. It has the straightforward shape of a classic vibrator, yet has the amazing feature of a soft point at the very tip of the toy, meaning that the vibrations will be delivered exactly where they need to go: your clit! Therefore, I would recommend the We-Vibe Salsa for anyone who is a sucker for clitoral stimulation like me! This is clearly a company that prides itself on producing simple, yet innovatively designed products for maximum pleasure.

This vibrator is SMALL! It is the size of an average middle finger at 3 1/2 inches long and 5/8 of an inch in diameter; if not red and shaky, it could be mistaken for my middle finger. This toy is clearly not intended for insertion of any kind and should be used solely for clitoral stimulation. This being said, the size is equally great for beginners or advanced users because all that matters here is the scrumptious pinpoint clitoral stimulation you will receive! The size also makes it incredibly easy to hide. It would be great for travel, or just to toss in one's purse should one want a little fun on errands (wink-wink).

The satiny pouch provided with this toy for storage is big enough to store both the charger and the vibe inside, and it makes for an unassuming look should it be discovered. When I am done having my world rocked, I simply tuck this diminutive wonder back into the pouch.

This is the part where I will wax poetic. The We-Vibe Salsa has the best and most varied vibrations that I have ever found in a toy! These are deep, of great quality, and will have you instantly aroused. The vibrations are located throughout this diminutive toy, but they are most palpable in the tip, which is what most women will use. However, this toy could be placed vertically against the labia and clitoris if one prefers a more widespread sensation. The vibrations are a pleasant combination of buzzy and rumbly that will have you singing!

All of the functions of this vibrator are fantastic! It boasts eight different speeds. I found the following on the We-Vibe website, and have embellished it in order to provide a full description of the amazing variety this toy offers.

1 - Low (3000 rpm vibe)
2 - Medium (3600 rpm vibe)
3 - High (4200 rpm vibe)
4 - Ultra (4800 rpm vibe); I have found that this is my sweet spot!
5 - Tease (eight moderate vibrations followed by eight incredibly quick "blip" vibrations)
6 - Wave (a cycle of strong vibrations which fade into lower vibrations after a few seconds, immediately repeating)
7 - Pulse (moderate vibrations with a bit of space in between)
8 - Cha Cha (this is fun - two moderate vibrations followed by three quick vibrations)

The control, a single, slightly bulgy button, is located on the white base of this toy. Press it once for the first setting, two times for the second setting, and so on. The ONLY con that I have found with this toy is that if for example one has chosen the first setting, this button must be pressed seven additional times in order to turn it off. However, the low noise level quickly makes up for this, as it provides an incredibly discreet experience. The most noise would probably be on setting #4, but it can easily be muffled with a pillow or a blanket and cannot be heard through a closed door.

The We-Vibe Salsa is waterproof and can be fully submerged. I have used it in the shower and it performed well. In addition, this makes for easy cleaning, as one could place it in a tub of soapy water for instance.

This is a rechargeable vibrator that gets its power via a white charger that looks much like an average cell phone charger. On the end of the cord is a small half-sphere that has two equally placed magnetic dots. On the base of the Salsa are two identical magnetic dots that attach to those on the charger. When it is actively charging, a small orange light on the underside of the white half-sphere comes on. The initial charge, and every charge thereafter, takes 90 minutes. This will earn you 2 full hours of orgasmic play, not to mention money that you will save on batteries.

Because of the smooth texture and small size of this toy, it is a cinch to wash and care for. In addition to all of the other virtues of this amazing little creature, it is low-maintenance! The waterproof design makes it readily available to be cleaned with soap and water. One could also use a toy wipe or any variety of toy cleaners. I store this vibrator in the small satiny pouch that is included with it.

Because this toy is made of plastic, it is compatible with all types of lube.

The We-Vibe Salsa arrives in a medium-sized white box which displays the words "We-Vibe Salsa" as well as a picture of the toy itself. In the box, you will find the vibrator, the charger in a smaller white container, and a white satiny pouch for storage. As for instructions, there is a compact instruction booklet that features helpful pictures that will display how to charge and operate this toy as well as cleaning advice. Much like the toy itself, the packaging is gorgeous, sleek, and simple. However, it is slightly inconvenient for storage as the various cardboard that supports everything fits in snugly and is frustrating to put back together. That's what the satiny pouch is for!

Despite the well-designed look of the packaging, it features the words "We-Vibe" rather prominently on the top, ruining any hope of giving a discreet gift. However, if discretion is not a concern, this could very easily be used as a gift box.

The We-Vibe Salsa may cost a bit more money then you are used to spending on a vibrator, but trust me - it will absolutely be worth it. I can see this toy being especially helpful for a woman who has either never had an orgasm or does not have orgasms easily. Of course, it is also useful for a woman with a "clit of steel," such as myself, and anyone who describes themselves as such should look into this toy!

I have had the We-Vibe Salsa for roughly two days, and I can already attest to the fact that it is AWESOME! I have lost count of how many times I've used it. It should also be noted that it is difficult or almost impossible for me to orgasm in certain positions, particularly with my legs spread apart. It is commonplace for me to lie in one position every time I masturbate in order to achieve orgasm. However, upon receiving this wonder, I was feeling adventurous, and within five minutes I was having an orgasm with my legs spread wide as could be! This was only about the second or third time this has happened. Needless to say, I am beyond impressed. Every orgasm I have had with this toy is strong and satisfying.

This is a well-designed vibrator of incredible quality that will have you singing, crying, or both, so think of it as an orgasmic investment and start saving!
