Decadent indulgence 2 - rabbit vibrator by Cal Exotics - review by Nora

As a rabbit-styled vibrator, this is typically used for penetration simultaneously with clit stimulation. The rotating shaft may even provide some light G-spot stimulation for you as well; it doesn’t do that for me though. If you already know whether you like this style of vibrator, you should like this one as well, but I don’t suggest it as a “first” rabbit!

When I first took this vibe out of its packaging, I was hit with the “pleasant” scent the front of the box claimed it had! While not a horrible smell and nothing like the “normal” rubber scent, I was a little put off by my newest sex toy smelling a bit like grape Stripe Bubble gum! Since it has been out of the box for several weeks now, the smell has all but disappeared. It is still there, a very slight fruity gum smell if I really give it a good sniff, and once this one has a storage space in the drawer, I imagine the smell will return. I actually look forward to the “fruit” smell in the drawer though, it will help detract from the “tire” smell put off by the “unpleasantly scented” toys that are already there!

The handle, where all the controls are, is a hard plastic. The shaft end of things though is a very soft (squishy) jelly material. I don’t usually “read up” on toys I’m going to review because I really don’t want anyone else’s impression to cloud my own opinions. Even though the softness of the jelly feels great, I really wish this was made of a “safer” material. In addition, that same “softness” makes it difficult to use, which is why I don’t recommend it for “new” rabbit users.

The Jelly does have a bit of texturing in the form of veins down the length of the insertable shaft portion. I did not notice these really adding to the feel while “in action”, but I’m sure without them it would have felt different as well! The clit stimulator is shaped like a rabbit with giant ears, which are one inch in length!

Overall, I liked the size and shape of this vibe, the rabbit is slightly oversized, making the ears unnecessary for my purposes though. The “rabbit” is roughly 3 inches from base to ears, with another full inch of thin ears after that! The shaft, above the rabbit (insertable length) is five and a half inches, with the penis shaped tip being one inch wide and the base of the insertable portion coming in at just over an inch and a half. The controls/handle is also about an inch and a half across and three and an eighth inches long.

As for the design and shape in usability terms, the rotating shaft’s beads were surprisingly nice in use. I have stayed clear of all rabbit vibrators that have beads for quite some time, but these are “locked” into place on disks that spin. That means, the beads won’t travel down where they don’t belong, an issue I have had with other similar toys. I also tend to like the bulkier toys, so the size of the insertable portion worked very well for me. As I mentioned above, the larger clit stimulator could have been a bit smaller and still worked perfectly fine.

This is not an easy toy to hide, the full length of this one is 10 ¼ inches! However, we keep all of our toys in separate bags and in a drawer, so it is out of sight when not in use. The extremely sensitive controls make this one not as travel-friendly as other vibes. This toy turns on with even the slightest of bumps! With any penis-shaped toy, I don’t find them discreet in the slightest, this is no exception! It is a bright blue “penis” after all!

10 speeds, 2 “action” centers, and 5 patterns, this toy should be able to do anything! The differing speeds were great for a few of the patterns, but were useless on two of them; they actually had no bearing on what was “produced”! All of the patterns are felt through the clit stimulator while the second control pad works the speed of the rotating shaft, also at 10 different speeds. As for the patterns, the first is a steady pattern with no variation, the intensity is controlled by the speed. Second is a pattern that starts out at the “10 speed” and then falls to 1 and ramps back up to 10. This one was nice, but I don’t think it stays at any one speed for nearly long enough! The third pattern quickly ramps from 1 to 10 and then falls off to start back at 1. Again, I don’t think it stayed anywhere long enough to be fully enjoyed! The fourth pattern is a “hum, hum, hummmmmmmm” pattern at whatever speed setting you choose. I really liked this one! It’s a light tease at the lower settings and at the higher settings got me off fairly quickly! The last pattern is a “hum, hum, hum, hum” pattern that is short bursts of vibrations, again at whichever speed you like! This was another favorite of mine.

It was hard to imagine that a vibrator with over 300 pattern/speed choices would be easy to operate, but it really is! The rotating shaft control is a simple “up/down” button and the vibration control is identical to it. The third button changes the pattern. The down side to the “easy controls” is that they are super sensitive to touch! That means an accidental bump while using and your pattern is changed unexpectedly! Most of my issues with this toy are from the control end of it! The packaging also claimed to have an “auto on/off” feature, but this not the case…it is easy to turn on and off, but to do so, you have to lower the speed controls to “off”, by lowering it past the “1” speed. It is not a quick on/off as I was expecting! In addition, the battery cover, the entire back of the handle, comes off easily and often while in use. We plan to remedy that by taping the seams, but this thing also eats batteries faster than my other rabbits too, so the taping may not be worth it in the end either.

This is NOT waterproof! For washing ease, I try to stick to waterproof toys that don’t need special care when it comes to washing them. This one is difficult to wash because the controls can’t get wet!

As for the noise levels, on low it cannot be heard through a closed door, but with both motors going at the highest setting, it can be heard quite easily through the bedroom door!

As with all my toys, this is getting its very own storage bag! I find this to be the easiest and safest way to protect all of my adult items. It keeps the cat and dog hair away from them and protects against accidental “touching” which can lead to the permanent damage of toys!

As for cleaning, which I mentioned earlier, this one is a bit tough to wash. If you are careful, antibacterial soap and water can be used, just don’t get the control end wet! We’ve been using baby wipes and wipes designed for sex toys to keep this clean at though. The wipes keep the non-waterproof parts safe and do a good job of cleaning up any “mess” that was made in use.

For the price of this toy, I was expecting a better made vibrator! The plastic battery cover refuses to stay on and the jelly has seams from being poured (there are round injector spots visible and peeling on either side of the tip). I’d also be much happier if this one was made out of a safer material too…the fact that it’s jelly, coupled with the seemingly poor construction is going to land this one in the “dud drawer” sooner rather than later.
