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. ;)
Hi Sleeping Dreamer!
This is my second vibe like this, the first one probably would have lasted longer had I not used it in water. The site says it's waterproof but I dunno, it died after that. Maybe I had a bad one, but as cheap as they are I don't fuss to much about it. :) The rose one I have has lasted 4 months and counting but I also have about 20 vibes that I rotate through, so mine doesn't get used as much as someone that might purchase this as a primary use toy. Hope that helps. -SK
How has this held up over time?
Hi Curlyque!
I did not test the waterproof feature with this rose vibe. I had the same vibe in baby pink and ruined it in water! It may say "waterproof" but I had a bad experience with the other one and because it was so affordable I purchased a new one for non aquatic adventures lol!
i wrote a review on this vibe a few weeks back, but i have been afraid to test it's waterproofing, and you seem to be the only one who feels it isn't waterproof, did you test it or did you just go off of the site's description? I would love to test the waterproofing and finish my follow-up review, but im afraid of taking a chance and ruining it...
thanks a lot :)
I love the velvety feel. Way better than just plastic.
