Velvet touch vibrator by Doc Johnson

Good Vibrations

The Doc Johnson Velvet Touch Vibrator is an all-time "fallback favorite" between my legs. It may be old fashioned (minus fancy add-ons or attachments) but it gets the job done and it does it well. The Velvet Touch massager is low key, simple to operate, and won't send your partner shrieking from embarrassment. The Velvet Touch is considered a "Traditional Vibrator". In everyday language it's a simple straight vibrator without the added bells and whistles. The Doc Velvet gets its name from the smooth, velvet-like texture on the massager itself. Most traditional vibrators are plastic and slick, the Velvet has a soft, gentle texture, which I find more intimate.

The Doc Johnson Velvet Touch is easily assembled, simply unscrew the base of the device and insert 2 - AA batteries. To control the intensity of the vibrations, the dial at the bottom rotates - enabling you to choose from multiple settings. The intensity ranges from a mild hum to a loud (tattoo gun-like) buzzing. This vibrator is a bit noisy on the highest setting, but most traditional vibrators are. Though the manufacturer says that this vibe is waterproof, it is my personal opinion that this particular model is not. This is my second vibe due to water damage occuring in the first one I had.

The Doc Velvet is wonderful if you have skin sensitivities or allergies. The Velvet is also phthalate free, which means it’s free from the harsh chemicals ordinarily used in manufacturing plastics. The length of the massager is 7 inches, the manufacturer recommended insertable length is 6 inches (for control purposes), the circumference is 3 inches, and the diameter is 1 inch. It has just enough girth to keep my kegel routine in check.

Final Thoughts

Does the Doc Johnson Velvet Touch measure up to its name & reputation? Ohhhhhh YES - I wouldn't have given it the time of day if it didn't. Though it’s a little buzzy (noisewise) and fails the waterproof test, it’s still one of the best and it's fun to play with! The Doc Velvet should be in your "arsenal" if you're searching for favorites, and it's an equally great first purchase for experimental beginners.

Until you're confident and comfortable in your own skin, you'll never appreciate the true depth and breadth of sex. Are vibrators for everyone? Of course not! It's a personal and intimate decision. Remember, sexual experiences are what you make of them. Be safe, be discerning, and have some fun while you're at it!

...Go ahead, take one to bed. ;)
