Dr. Laura Berman Siena - traditional vibrator by Cal Exotics - review by J Peach

This is the second vibrator I ever owned, and I used it until it broke. I haven't replaced it yet, but I plan to because this baby has been there for me when I didn't have anything else. I used to hardly ever use the vibration setting with my toys but this vibrator made me change my mind about that. While it's never been my favorite, it's still a staple in my toy box, whether it be because old habits die hard, or I because just can't bear to get rid of it.

My favorite feature has got to be the velvety texture of the toy. It made pushing the toy in and out extremely easy and really pleasurable. I don't usually go for plastic toys either just because I prefer vibrators/dildos that more closely resemble the real thing, but this toy made me change my mind on that too!
The feel of the Siena is really smooth and very light at 0.2 pounds. It doesn't have any mentionable smell to it and the vibrations can get pretty loud on the high setting. But, I am more of a low vibrations kind of girl so I had no problem using it while my roommates were home; they were none the wiser. The vibration settings are controlled by a dial base and, while I'm at it, I'll mention that it also requires C-2 batteries.

As its main function is vibration, I would say that yes, this vibrator does its job and does it very well. I have nothing bad to say about it. The Siena is good for clitoral stimulation but it is also good to use vaginally. I find that it's better to try to angle it upwards to stimulate the g-spot if at all possible and then stimulate the clitoris with fingers or another toy. Either way, it works just as well. I have no issues reaching an amazing orgasm with this toy.

As far as vibrations go, it is definitely suitable for beginners, but it may not be as suitable for advanced users unless they are using the highest setting. I love the vibrations and I'm kind of in between beginner and advanced. A happy medium, so to speak. However, the length and girth is suitable for anyone. It's not incredibly large or imposing at all, so unless you're a size queen and require something bigger to suit your needs, this toy would probably work out just fine for you.

My partner and I also used this toy during sex quite a few times as an anal toy. I found the low setting for the vibration to be a really nice addition to the sex itself. It's not overly large at 6 1/2” of insertable length (8" including the turn dial), circumference of 4 1/4”, and diameter of 1 3/8, and its smooth form is gentle enough that we didn't even need lubricant. Other users may find that it's more comfortable to use a personal lubricant, but I haven't ever needed to with this toy. A word of caution, though; since the Siena doesn't have a flared base be careful if you're going to try using this as an anal toy whether it be with your partner or alone.

Cleanup is really easy. Since the toy is plastic, it's easy to disinfect with toy wipes, and also with just regular soap and water. Being it that it is so easy to clean, it makes sharing this toy with friends amazingly simple and safe. I found that I didn't need to use any kind of personal lubricant with it because of the sleek design, but I imagine that using a little couldn't hurt if you're trying to get yourself into the mood.

I have used the Siena in the bathtub on several occasions and I absolutely love it. I prefer waterproof toys because sometimes the shower is the only place I ever have the privacy to masturbate. Water is also one of the suggested lubricants for plastic toys so if you're wanting to make a splash, this is one of the toys you should look to.
