Butterfly kiss - sex toy by Cal Exotics - review by Callisto

The Butterfly Kiss Classic, by Cal Exotics, is a low-end g-spot vibrator. I can honestly say that you get what you pay for with this product. The bulb at the end of the device is meant to send strong vibrations to your g-spot while the butterfly at the base of the product tickles your clit. Sounds easy enough.

I need to preface this with the fact that I only used this toy twice in the 5 months I've owned it but I won't be too harsh on it because others might enjoy it.

Once out of the package, you are met with a slightly sticky feeling yet sleek toy. The bulb and shaft connected to the base is completely smooth and doesn't have any distinctive texture to it, which I would have enjoyed. This toy is made out of jelly and is slightly porous. It is a slight lint magnet, but not as much as other jelly toys I have encountered in the past.

Without lube, the toy does cause a little resistance when using it if you are going to be repeatedly thrusting it in and this is a little awkward because for me, it felt like it dragged on the way in as well as on the way out.

The butterfly kiss is 7 inches long with 3 1/2 inches insert-able length and the bulb, at its widest, is 1 1/8 inches in diameter. To me, upon insertion the bulb did feel a little rigid and hurt slightly and the butterfly stopped close to a quarter of an inch short of my clit. With careful maneuvering of the toy, I was able to achieve the desired effect but it still wasn't all that worth it. The toy seems to be based on a small wand vibrator and for this reason, the vibrations originate in the base. I was unable to feel the vibrations from the butterfly or any at the bulb. I had to actually push a little hard, to the point of almost inserting the butterfly to get anything pleasurable.

With most dual stimulation toys a fraction of the users run into a snag with the design. Not every woman's body is exactly the same so not every toy of this nature will work. I am one of those women and this is why I didn't like the toy.

Personally, I would suggest this toy for beginners but with caution, because the bulb surprised me a little. It isn't overly girthy but just not what you would expect, if that makes sense.

With the Butterfly Kiss, the vibration control is located on the bottom with a soft button (much like you would find on modern flash lights). It advertises 3 intense speeds of vibration but upon my first click, nothing, my vibration was MIA. On a second click I was met with a moderate vibration but nothing too extreme as with the third. I am used to intense vibrations, like with the hitachi magic wand, so I might just be spoiled as far as vibrations.

The vibrations are powered by 2 AAA batteries, and after using it twice, both around 30 minutes per session, I can say that the vibe isn't a battery drainer. I did, however, have problems with the connection in the battery chamber to the point where the vibe's power would dip but I assume that's just my individual toy.

The toy is waterproof but I have yet to try it under the water. I am always wary of submerging toys even if stated as waterproof but it seems like it would do well. The entire base, as well as the battery chamber, is covered with a thin jelly sleeve which makes up the base of the toy. It seems rather study.

I would also consider this toy rather quiet compared to the other vibrators I've come in contact with, especially on the lower settings. When you get to the third setting, it's a little touch and go, especially if inserted; there is almost a resonance to the vibration. I put a pillow over it to muffle the sound but only because there were people in the house at the time. Naughty, me.

Being a jelly toy means sterilization is a no-go. It is best to clean this toy with warm water and a mild soap. Also, if you are so inclined or ever feel this burning need to share this toy with a friend or lover (which I never understood) you should always use a condom. You could also just use a condom to keep the little sucker from gathering lint and to extend the life if it is a must have for your toy chest. It is also compatible with water and silicone based lubes.

I store mine in its original container just with my other toys and I'm not really one to let my toys mingle so I would assume two jelly's might not mix, even though this one isn't as sticky as the others.

I just wanted to reiterate that I don't think it's a terrible toy and it isn't too intimidating for someone who is new to toys. It's a lot less intimidating than a realistic dildo or vibrator because when I started buying toys, was terrified to have anything that looked like a cock. I'm just silly that way, I've become less shy and more in love with the male organ to the point where I prefer that design over everything else.

The cute whimsical shape of what I gather is a butterfly about to land on a bulb-shaped flower is more girly and might be a little less offensive if found by someone.

Personally, I didn't like it because it ended up being too much work for the quality of orgasm it produced and also because I apparently wasn't designed like everyone else as far as shape and proportion.
