Love Candy by Kendra the Prevail - traditional vibrator discontinued by Evolved Novelties - review by js250

The Love Candy Prevail by Kendra is beneficial for everyone, with a portion of the proceeds going towards 'Save The Tatas' foundation, for breast cancer research. Breast cancer is more common in women, but does affect men as well. This little vibrator is small, has discreet inner packaging that is great fro travel and storage and is also waterproof!

What it is not is powerful and girthy. The vibrations are very light and fluttery, with a hint of a rumble. The tip is perfect for targeting and makes a good warm up massager and foreplay teaser. Use this for nipples and other sensitive areas. Men, women and couples can enjoy this while traveling, for teasing and practical jokes in the water or just to help benefit the breast cancer foundation.

The quality of the vibrator is good, but the internal motor and battery connections are questionable. I do wonder why they skimped on those functions, this could have been a top vibrator if it had a bit more punch and was more reliable.

Made of PU coated plastic, the Prevail rates a 7 on the material safety scale. Plastic is non-porous but is easily scratched, which can harbor harmful bacteria unless properly cleaned. You can sterilize this material, so sharing is an option. I do recommend using a condom if you share your toys, this helps prevent the spread of STD's and other health risks.

The PU coating is soft and velvety to the touch, feeling very sensuous against your skin. A small dab of lube will really enhance the glide of the material and lessen the drag against your sensitive areas. The drag is fairly mild, but it can irritate your skin if you use the Prevail when you are lacking lubrication--either natural or artificial.

There was a slight plastic aroma when the vibrator was opened, but this went away upon washing. I did not notice any taste. Prevail is lightly stimulating and is best used for foreplay or for those who need very little vibration to orgasm. The small girth and average length makes this an appropriate toy for beginners and those who enjoy smaller diameter vibrators. Since this is rigid, with no flex or squish, it will also work for targeting specific areas.

Prevail is a smaller vibrator, measuring in at 6 3/4", with 5" insertable, and only 1" diameter at the widest area. The narrower area of the shaft is around 3/4". The pink ribbon accent does not protrude, but there is a slight indentation around the design.

The shape is wonderful for those who like a smaller girth and average length. I loved the taper in the shaft and the design is very appealing. This is very pretty and a portion of the proceeds do go to 'Save The Tatas' foundation. This foundation helps those with breast cancer.

Due to the smaller size, this is an easy toy hide. If left out for prying eyes to see, there will be little doubt about the true use of this vibrator. The pouch and case will discreetly hide the Prevail and is perfect for tucking it away in a larger purse or your luggage.

Gently twist the base off, insert 2 AAA batteries and replace the base. You may need to reinsert the batteries a couple times to ensure a full connection, there seems to be a flaw in the design and the batteries do not always get a full connection for powering the Prevail. Once you try the vibrations and get vibrations, you are ready to go!

Push one time on either one of the side buttons. Press again to cycle through the 5 vibration patterns, and to turn off the vibrations, press and hold on one of the buttons for about 3 seconds. The two buttons makes this a great option for right and left handed users and their partners.

The vibrations are very light, and are on the buzzy side of rumbly. They are the most prevalent behind the cup near the tip. The button does light up and flashes with each different pattern, but is very dim. This will be seen in a dark room, but is not very noticeable in a dimly lit room.

The patterns of the Prevail are: 1.Low steady vibration - 2.Medium steady vibration - 3.Pulsing - 4.Escalating steady vibration. Keep in mind, the low can barely be felt and the high is equivalent to most of the low speeds of other vibrators. The Prevail is nearly silent, so it is great for roommate or low noise situations.

Since this is waterproof, washing it is fairly simple. Wash in warm, soapy water and rinse thoroughly. I use a soft bristled toothbrush to clean the slight ridge around the pink ribbon. Let the vibrator dry completely and go back over it with a sterilizing toy cleaner.

Store the Prevail inside the pouch or leather case. Both storage options are wonderful for traveling and protecting the finish of this little vibrator. It is obviously a sex toy, but the pink ribbon and elegant packaging does make this a nice adult related gift.

You can use all lube types with this material. Storing it with other materials is not too big of an issue. Just be aware that if it is stored with soft toy materials, like jelly, TPR/TPE, cyberskin or silicone, it can leach the color out of the other material and the material will be damaged. Oh! The softer material can also melt and engulf the Prevail--you will never see it in a useable state again.

The packaging is a very nice added touch to this little vibrator. In fact, I will go as far as to say it was the best feature of this product. The box is the typical fold together plastic box that is used by many manufacturers, and it has some useful information on the back. If there was not pictures of the Prevail vibrator on the two sides, it would have been discreet enough to be a gift item.

Inside the plastic box is a faux leather covered cylinder and the Prevail is encased in its own velveteen pouch inside the cylinder. The cylinder looks like an eyeglass case and is completely discreet for traveling, storage or leaving out in a room. I thought the velveteen toy pouch was a nice addition, but totally unnecessary.

There is a slit on the lid of the cylinder. You can either pull the cord to the pouch through that for easy carrying or use it as a coin bank. The slot does fit most coins, but is a bit thin for nickels.

~Great for adult themed bridal shower gifts.
~Add to a massage kit, the pointed tip penetrates a sore muscle and the lighter vibrations will warm up the area for deeper tissue massagers.
~Small, fun and discreet first vibrator.
~Light vibrations for sensitive areas, good for warming up.
~Waterproof, discreet for travel and fun for playing on the road...use your imagination!
(~Hide it when you and your partner or a friend is going swimming, pop it out and 'zap' them as a practical joke...then RUN!!!)
