This toy was definitely designed
First off let me state that once again this toy is being used on my girlfriend, not myself. We use it together.
Now keep in mind this vibrator is made of jelly which contains phthalates so a condom should be used on it during use.
Also it does have an odor but nothing you're going to smell unless you put it right up in your face and sniff it. It didn't seem to go away after being washed a few times, but I think it has faded in strength.
The material is very flexible and bendy, so don't expect this
vibrator to be good at providing a lot of pressure on a single spot, it'll just bend and slip around.
Now on to the use. This toy is a good size, not too long and not too thick. It's shape and size is great for thrusting in and out. The raised ridges on it stimulate the vaginal opening during thrusting. They're not painful in anyway, they have smoothed curved edges that give just the right amount of bumpiness to the ride. When used for thrusting just make sure you used a good amount of lube and take it slow at first. The raised ridges on this toy are something different that some people may need some time to get used to at first. But after that the way they hit the vaginal opening on the way in, and give a kind of little pop on the way out are great.
The vibrations are good but not especially strong. They're felt more during clitorial stimulation then when inserted. But they do give some stimulation during thrusting along with the ridges. Also they are not very loud at all.
Overall this is an average vibrator with a nice size and raised ridges that are great for thrusting. The vibrations are alright but nothing special. If only it was made in a better safer material.
I haven't found a Lucid Dreams review that rated the toy about 3 stars.. the line is just garbage.
The battery life is petty good. We've never had it run out during use. I always remove the batteries from my toys after use since they aren't used every night. So I can't say exactly, but I don't go through batteries very fast all with any of my toys.
This one seems to be very good on battery life. Never had it run down or get weak.
How's the battery life? The odor is related to the chemical components (like phthalates)- good indication that condoms should be used, like you said.
