Pearl-y Essence? I don't think so.

This vibrator didn't win any love from me. However, if you're a beginner and looking for something straightforward and non-intimidating, then this toy is for you.

Use

I don't like anything anally so I couldn't tell you if this is a good anal toy. However, from the looks of it, insertion looks easy, but don't take that from me.

I used the toy both vaginally and as clitoral stimulation. I was very, very disappointed with it.

With that said though, this would be a non-threatening toy for beginners and cheap enough for those just starting out on a budget. It would also be good for couples and/or groups.

Material / Texture

The toy is made of a smooth plastic. Upon opening it the toy had a plastic odor but washing it before use helped eliminate it. It doesn't taste like anything, so no upturned noses in that respect. It was very smooth to the touch, and would be perfect for a beginner.
    • Light odor
    • Not porous at all
    • Smooth

Design / Shape / Size

The size is not intimidating, so it would be perfect for a beginner. The design is pretty straightforward with your insertable length followed by the dial control.

It's small enough to hide easily within a drawer or a toybag. It's also a great size to travel with.

The small form factor only takes 1 AA battery to operate. On a note with batteries, I found trying to get them out is a bit tricky. I even pulled the entire battery compartment/bullet from the vibe shaft with my finger trying to get the battery out once.
    • Beginner
    • Discreet look/design
    • Partner play

Functions / Performance / Controls

The performance of this was very mediocre in my opinion. It's one of those things where 'you get what you pay for'. The biggest letdown for this toy for me was that it was pretty uncomfortable when used vaginally. The best part about the toy was the dial control---very simple and straightforward to use. The controls, while simple, don't have a way of being accidently changed while you're thrusting the toy unless you really try. As far as noise level? I would be using this toy when you don't have other people around to be alerted to what you are doing. It is VERY loud on its highest setting and even under the muffling of blankets it is still very loud. This toy is NOT waterproof.
    • Easy to use

Care and Maintenance

The Mini Pearlessence is very easy to clean with hot water and anti-bacterial soap. Being that the toy is not waterproof, DO NOT submerge it, and if it does get wet, make sure it is completely dry before use. Storage is a breeze, you can just toss it back into its packaging (if you kept it) and keep it in a drawer.
    • Easy to clean
    • Easy to store

Personal comments

As I mentioned earlier, this is one of those things that 'you get what you pay for'! Sure the pricetag is nice, but don't expect any mindblowing satisfaction from this toy.

  • Video Review question
    • So I got approved to do a video review for this toy, I recorded, edited, uploaded, and sent Carrie Ann an email letting her know it's up. But when I click on it to make sure it uploaded right it comes up with an add for a free vibe with any order! Did I not do it right, or does it have to approved first? Cause when I view it on the "preview" tab it did fine!

      Thanks a ton in advance!

      Sounds like a job for JR, send him a message or submit a support ticket. Strange! It shows your vid at first.

  • Rating your Toys in Review
    • When you rate your toys in your review with stars, do you rate it to how much you liked it? Or do you rate it to how much you think others would like it?

      I recently rated a toy 3 stars, it is awesome for beginners and such, but I, personally wasn't a huge fan...

      What does everyone else think? Rate to your preference? Or what you think the general consensus is?
    • Both of those factors, quality as well.
    • Did you know the forum has a nifty search feature that you can use to read threads that talk about the topics you're posting about?

      Just enter the search term in the search box at the top of the page like you would if you were looking for a product and all of the discussions will pop up if you're already on the forum. If you're on the main page, click the "Discussions" tab when the search results appear and you'll find what you're looking for.
