Fetish Fantasy Elite vibrating panty - strap-on vibrator by Pipedream - review by AtlantisLovely

I've always liked the idea of wearing a little vibrator inside my panties for a fun thrill out in public. I've tried out two items in the past that were designed for this and was very disappointed by both. This one looked like it would be more comfortable since it was an actual pantie rather than just elastic straps, and I liked the advertised ergonomic design of the vibrator portion.

When it arrived the first thing I noticed was that the box said "Plus sized"... oh no!! I'm not plus sized! I went back and looked at the website, and sure enough, I had some how missed that this is a plus sized item when I ordered it. But I was surprised when I put on the panties and discovered they actually fit me quite well (just slightly big). I will repeat again- I AM NOT PLUS SIZED. I am 5'4" and weigh 130 lbs. I don't know how this product is supposed to fit someone who is actually plus sized. The box says that it is supposed to fit up to a 44" waist, but that would probably result in elastic cutting into your hips and ass rather uncomfortably. As it was, the panties fit me fairly well.

The pantie part has two elastic straps on the inside to hold the vibrator in place. This seems to do the trick as I didn't have any problems with the vibrator moving out of place or falling out of the panties. The other nice thing about this design is that you can wear just the panties alone without the vibrator if you want, and it's easy to throw the panties in the washing machine.

The vibrator is a tiny bullet which takes three AG13 batteries which are included. This bullet then slides into the silicone sleeve piece. I found getting the bullet back out of the sleeve a bit difficult as once it's in there you're not really left with much to hold on to to pull it out. The sleeve part is bulkier than I would have liked. This makes it hard to wear under jeans or other pants without a visible bulge in your crotch area... which really makes the option of public play not so possible. Although it's supposed to be ergonomically designed, I found it dug into my pubic bone when I tried to wear the item sitting down.

My experience using the item left me unimpressed. While the panties themselves were comfortable, the vibrator sleeve thing was only tolerable. The vibrator itself comes with 7 settings (low, medium, high and 4 different pulsating patterns). I found that all of these were too weak for me though. Plus, the setting can only be changed by pressing a little button on the bullet part of the vibe. This means reaching down in between your legs and fishing around to find the tiny button. Again- not so conducive to some discreet public play. The multiple times I tried it out I kept finding myself just getting annoyed by the whole thing. At multiple points I'd wonder if the toy was even ON still! I'd reach down to check, and find it was. The vibration level just did nothing for me. At least it was quiet though.

A few extras come with the toy- a pink silicone blindfold, lube, and toy cleaner. The silicone blindfold was also a failure in my books. I did not like the feel of silicone against my face for a long time. Also the straps were too tight even when adjusted to the largest setting and dug in above my ears painfully. Due to the light pink color light shone through the blindfold, so it didn't have the "blackout" effect I'm used to and if I tried to open my eyes all I saw was pink (my least favorite color). The lube and toy cleaner are fine but have twist off caps rather than squirt caps- so it's hard to get the right amount of the product out of the bottle.

All in all- this product had potential but did not work for me. Too bad.
