FUN! But short lived...

Overall, I would say this item is definitely worth it. It's cheap and fun. It'll make your time in the shower or tub a lot more exciting:) You don't need lube or anything for this, it's basically take it out of the box and play. Definitely worth it.

Use

This vibrator would be perfect for a beginner, but just that. It would be perfect for somebody who is curious about using a vibrator by themselves or with a partner. It is very good for stimulating the clit. It is also pretty good for anal if you put a couple dabs of lube on it. Experimentation and curiosity would definitely be the best occasions for this product.

Material / Texture

The smell of this product was strange. It kind of smells like the purple gloves at the doctor's office. There really isn't much of a texture to give the product a real big impression. I would definitely say the texture is for beginners.
    • Light odor
    • Smooth

Design / Shape / Size

I did like the design a lot. This wasn't a tiny thing that you needed a magnifying glass, but it wasn't one of those vibrators that look like they would be for an elephant... *shudders* The length was nice as well. It gave my wife, and myself, plenty of room to experiment with depth. It was a very fun toy to play with, but the knob to turn it on needs to be improved a lot. I simply went to turn it on one day and the knob sheared right off. I just gave it a small twist too.
    • Beginner

Functions / Performance / Controls

Seeing as there is only one knob, this is a very easy toy to use. There isn't any "push button C four times and you get a pulsating motion, followed by yada yada yada..." The whole toy vibrates pretty strongly, but even so, it's not that loud. It's extremely fun take a shower with your partner when you've snuck this vibrator in with you! There were no issues in the water. We didn't fully submerge it in the bath, but it got "rained on" in the shower for quite a long time without any damage.

Care and Maintenance

This is a very easy toy to clean. Since it is waterproof, a simple wash of soap and water in the sink is all you need. My wife and I keep it in a drawer and it doesn't hurt it at all. The material has stood up to multiple types of lube such as water soluble, oil soluble, and flavored. Neither of these have ruined it or damaged it in any way.
    • Easy to clean
    • Easy to store
Follow-up commentary
A friend got us one of these as a late wedding present a little while ago, and the dial on it hasn't broken yet! I don't know if it was just a production issue, or what, but this one is chugging along perfectly and is getting plenty of use! I definitely am glad that it got replaced, although I am now looking for a better one! :D

    Good first review. This was my first vibe, and I absolutely loved it. This vibe really isn't safe for anal since it doesn't have a flared base though.

    Good job! Welcome.
  • Contributor: Airen Wolf
    It's always a good idea to use lube with a toy even if you are one of the "juicier" types. I thought I was fine without it until I tried it one time and realized that skin drag was what was irritating my lady bits. Have to agree with Mistress Kay on the non-flared base being risky for penetrative anal play, though a vibrator used to relax the anal sphincter bu running it around the anal ring can be excellent.
    LOL there are worse things than Nitrile gloves...like sil-a-gel. whooooo that stuff is NASTY smelling. It's good to know this won't perfume your house quite as badly.
    Sux that it died so horribly but then again at $13 you can replace it quite easily...or move on.
    Great review

    Welcome to EF! Good first review! I could use a little more info on the material/texture--what makes it for beginners, would you say? The smoothness? The fact that it's inexpensive? Is it sterilizable?

    The controls fell off? Wow, I've never had that happen. Good review.

    @mistress k, I didn't know that this wasn't safe for anal, thanks for telling me though I don't want to get hurt anytime soon...

    @CaramelizedMe, the texture of it just doesn't feel natural, and is just too smooth. There isn't any texture or even any bumps to add to the feeling. Price has nothing to do with it being a beginner's or an advanced toy. Some of the cheap things out there are better then others that are $20-$30 more.

    @Heartthrob, Yeah it just twisted off... I tried turning the knob and it broke while my wife and I were playing... It was a big disappointment for it to have happened at that time... It still works a little bit, but we cant change the level of the power

    Thank you all for the welcoming! I hope to enjoy being here
