Venus bumble bee - strap-on vibrator by Cal Exotics - review by Health-E-Marriage

This toy was yet another along the path to finding a pegging toy that fulfilled the criteria we were looking for. We wanted a toy that was a comfortable fit for both of us, was not too rigid, and provided pleasure to both the giver and the receiver.

This toy did not really fulfill any of these criteria for us. The largest complaints come from the giving end. The provided straps are too thin to be comfortable and provide enough tension for thrusting. The "nubs" on the giving side of the butterfly are incredibly firm; we have labeled these as "spikes."

The dong portion of the toy was very rigid, and not what we expected from a jelly toy. The exterior texture was pleasant, but penetration felt more aggressive than with some of the more flexible toys we have used.

As for pleasure, on the receiving end, the only benefit of the firmness was a very good ability to target the prostate. This is good for a while, but after time, it grows to be less than pleasurable. The only thing of great interest with this toy is that both the butterfly and the dong have independently controlled vibrators. Once these are set above the third setting together, there seems to be an interesting resonating effect that happens on both ends. The only problem is that this is only pleasurable while sitting perfectly still which is not the most fun for pegging.

Cleanup of the dong is simple enough, but the butterfly's nubs need a bit more attention. We follow the cleanup guide for rubber shown here. Since the straps don't come off, these are tough to avoid getting wet when cleaning up and are prone to picking up errant lube from hands or general action.

Out of the package, the toy had a mediciny-plastic smell. This did not go away after the first or second cleaning and still lingers a bit in the toy box.
