Kiwi jelly T by California Exotic

When I first looked at this vibrator (Kiwi jelly T), I laughed. It looks like a cartoon cactus, complete with sparkles, and I didn't figure it would be too remarkable. Fortunately, I was proved wrong. My boyfriend now jokingly calls it the little cactus that could.

The vibrations aren't anything to write home about, but they're decent, and especially good in foreplay. Also, the fact that it is a jelly vibe means it can be used in concert with another vibrator, even a strong, solid one, without any pinching from close contact. For me, the extension meant for clitoral stimulation wasn't quite long enough, and I had to really push it for a real effect. That's where another vibrator came in and lent a helping shake. That's just me though, and for others it might be perfect. I prefer direct stimulation, but if you prefer indirect stimulation, this vibe is right up your ally.

The smaller nub is a nice little feature and worked like a charm, though the extensions don't seem to get as much vibration as the main shaft. It only takes one AA battery, and doesn't chew through them like crazy, so your battery supply will go a bit farther.

Also, it cleans pretty easily. Just don't use anything that could potentially put lint on it, because it seems to be a lint magnet. Definitely use some cleaner on it as soon as you can. I like the size of this vibe because it's long enough for noticeable penetration, but short enough for easy storage and travel. Really, what airline security person is going to look at an x-ray and say "That cactus looks suspicious." It's about as innocuous as a vibrator gets.

I think the only disturbing thing was the scent. This vibrator, much to my surprise, seems to be scented. I assumed 'kiwi' referred to its color, but when I opened the package, both myself and my partner leaned away! It was a little on the overpowering side, and had an odd, almost oily texture that thankfully washed off. Fortunately, the scent has faded some and isn't particularly awful. I imagine the scent will continue to decrease over time. Overall, it's a good little vibrator and I'd recommend it to friends. Especially for travel.
