Climax silicone EZ bend ripple shaft - traditional vibrator discontinued by Topco Sales - review by RainbowBrite

This smooth peachy vibe has the motor in the tip, so it is perfect for clitoral stimulation to get you started. There is one ridge just under the tip, and then 3 more ripples half-way down the shaft. With a water based lube, or your own girly juices, it feels amazing to slide the shaft up, down, and along your clit; slowly feeling each bump. Once you are all hot & bothered and ready to go, the Climax Silicone EZ Bend Ripple's shaft can easily glide into your kitty.

The first ridge has a realistic feeling just like the head of a cock, wonderful to just slip in and out! You can also feel the 3 ripples once the vibe is inserted all the way, it is nice and subtle,. Though I should warn you to be properly lubed, as I can see these ridges being a bit uncomfortable and rough; especially if you're not ready, or used to a realistic diameter vibe such as this.

Because of the super-flexible, bendable shaft this vibe is great alone. You can push it against yourself to find the most pleasurable spot. It can bend to about 90 degrees, but it does not hold its position on it's own. This is a great toy to use with a partner as they can maneuver and use the bend to find those places that will make you squirm & scream with delight!

The Climax Silicone EZ Bend Ripple Shaft by Topco is made of 100% silicone. The EZ Bend Ripple's velvety body has a very light clean scent when actually sniffed. The silicone shaft has a nice flexible and bendy top half, and a firm body from where the 3 ridges begin. The flexible tip provides a great, firm pressure on the inner walls of your body, that will help aid in g-spot stimulation even though this is a traditional vibrator. The silky soft, velvety texture of the silicone body feels amazing. When I first took her out of the box, I couldn't help but run her through my fingers, admiring her soft ripples with excitement!

The 1.5" diameter has 3 ridges half-way down the shaft, and another ridge right under the head of the vibe. During insertion the ridges are easily felt, and with proper lubrication will provide a wonderful sensation. I am a huge fan of ridges but find that the diameter of the shaft was a bit to big for me at the point where the ridges are. So, if you are a beginner to ridges I'd say lube up to make the experience a bit more comfortable.

The EZ Bend Ripple Shaft is a traditional vibrator made from smooth 100% silicone. This vibe has a powerful motor in the tip which is fantastic for clitoral stimulation. Once inserted you can feel the vibrations from the tip to the beginning of the mid-shaft ripples.

This toy is 7" long with 6.25" which is insertable. I found that the length of this vibe was perfect for me. The 3 ripples hit just the right spot, somewhere around the opening of my kitty. I didn't find that I hit the twist on/off dial at all during thrusting or play. The shaft of this vibe is 1.5" in diameter which seemed a bit big for me when it got to the ripples. The smooth part of the body felt fine, but I found the ripples a bit too hard due to the diameter. Though, with plenty of lubrication and play before inserting I was able to take the ripples comfortably. For me, a smaller diameter with ripples would have been perfect!

I am a petite gal (5ft tall & about 90lbs) and prefer smaller toys. This is the biggest one I've tried. I think it is a fantastic vibe, and with lots of foreplay and lube it is heavenly. I do find that I still reach for my smaller vibes first. I think that this vibe would be a great beginner vibe, as it's a nice average length and diameter. While there are ridges, they aren't on the whole length of the body so it is just a subtle stimulation. This a very powerful vibe so it would be great for beginners to the well advanced!

It definitely isn't small enough to be carried around in your purse, in my opinion. I would say for an over-nighter it would be perfect. It comes with a pink satin drawstring bag for travel & storage.

The bottom 3/4" of the vibe is the easy-twist, multi-speed dial base. I did not find that my hand slipped and changed the vibe speed during play, though I can see it happening. It was easy enough to twist the dial to find the different vibe settings, but not loose enough that it would change just by being bumped.

I am amazed at the vibrations this sleek vibe has. At the highest setting it is quite powerful. It is a bit too buzzy for me for clitoral stimulation, but nice when held inside or while thrusting. I would say that there are about 5 levels of vibration varying from a nice 2 vrooms to a mind-shattering 5 vrooms. There are no vibe patterns or pulses, just straight up vibrations. Now, while this is powerful, it is also VERY quiet. I think that on it's highest setting you could be under the covers and no one would hear a thing, well, other than your moans of course!

Not only is the base where you control the vibe, it is also where the batteries are placed. It only takes a half-screw to get the cap on and off. I did find that rechargeable batteries make quite a TIGHT fit, so I don't suggest that you use them, regular AA batteries fit fine. I found that this has a great battery life, especially in consideration to the powerful vibe it creates.

Now, Eden Fantasys and the product's website, describe this toy as being waterproof. Due to the half twist on/off of the battery cap I would not suggest submersion, though it does have a small O-ring to help seal it. I do not find that it is adequate enough for tub play. I have cleaned it thoroughly under the faucet, half-way submerging it, and found no water or moisture in the battery compartment, so I think that shower play would be fine.

The Climax Silicone EZ Bend Ripple Shafts 100% silicone body is non-porous and phthalates free, which makes it a breeze to clean! It is easily cleaned by wiping it down with a 10% bleach solution, using your favorite toy cleaner, or by simply using water and antibacterial soap. Due to having a motor, please do not boil this toy or put it in your dishwasher!

Since this is a silicone vibe, please do not use a silicone based lubricant as it will break down and damage the material. During storage please keep this toy separate from other silicone toys, as again, the close contact can wear down the material. It is recommended that you only used a water based lube.

Since this vibe comes with a pretty pink satin drawstring storage bag, it is easily stored in any drawer.

This toy came in transparent red plastic packaging. The vibe looked nice centered in the clear box as it was suspended in there with the blister pack. There were no instruction pamphlets or samples inside the box. There was a brief description of the product on the back of the box, as well as a diagram of how to put the batteries in, and a small mention of how to care for the product.

I heard the knock on the door and just knew it was the mailman delivering my new toy... I was just so excited! Upon taking it out of the packaging, I couldn't help but marvel at how soft and smooth the silicone shaft was. Having it in my hands, increased my anticipation of having the toy lubed up for play.

I found that the first vibe setting is perfect for light clit stimulation, and to get you ready. Once my girly juices were flowing, I liked the way it felt to slide the shaft up and down my clit. I could feel all the ridges, serious perfection!

Upon insertion I could feel the first ridge, just under the head of the vibe was very nice. It seemed almost realistic like the head of a penis. The ridges half-way down the shaft hit a perfect spot at the opening of my kitty, especially during thrusting. Though the shaft has quite a bend. I felt that I couldn't get it to hit my g-spot very well, but with subtle bending it did hit most of my inner walls nicely.

During clean up I did notice that lube and juices did collect under each ridge but, this was easy to clean, the grooves aren't deep enough for any residue to get stuck. Simply run it under water and soap up and it was like new!
