Platinum jack rabbit - sex toy by Cal Exotics - review by Luscious Lily

This is a real powerhouse of a rabbit. Running on 4 AA batteries, it has far more power than most battery-powered vibrators of any style. Both the ears and the nose of the rabbit vibrate strongly, though some may find the vibrations buzzy. The head rotation is strong enough to actually be felt, unlike many rabbits, and the beads are mounted on rigid metal loops that even the strongest PC muscles will have trouble jamming. It's a strong, well-made, attractive toy all around. Like all rabbits, be aware that one style does not fit all bodies: one woman's favorite may be another's bane.

The shaft and rabbit of this toy are made out of clear TPE, which has sparkles embedded in the material where the rabbit meets the shaft. The glitter is mixed into the TPE, not spread across the surface, so there is no need to worry about it flaking off at inopportune times. The TPE itself has a faint smell reminiscent of nail polish remover (acetone) that has not faded with repeated washings, but there is no taste. The odor is only detectable when the toy is almost up one's nose, so the smell shouldn't pose a problem unless your sinus cavities are getting in on the action.

The toy has a jelly-like squishy density and drag, which is standard for TPE. It attracted lint and dust, but not nearly as badly as jelly and silicone toys often do. As long as it is kept in a lint-free bag, it needs minimal cleanup before use.

The texture, though visible in the photographs, was almost unnoticeable in use. The nubs were very tiny, and the material was soft enough that when lubricated they simply disappeared. Those looking for intense texture will not find it here.

Overall, this is a well thought out design. The rabbit itself has a wide attachment to the shaft, protecting the area from shorts during exuberant use. The narrower shaft compared to the bulge gives the shaft a chance of actually rotating at higher speeds, and the larger head makes any movement more noticeable. The thickest part of the shaft is the bulb for the rotating beads, and the beads are strung on rigid wire loops. Unlike most rabbits, this means that even on low to moderate speeds they don't stop moving when you clench down.

On the flip side, this means that there is a chance that female-bodied users with very strong PC muscles may feel somewhat bruised after use from clenching against such an unyielding surface. As it is a girthy toy, beginners may find this to be too large. The control shaft is big enough to get a decent grip on while avoiding the controls, but not so big that it gets in the way.

Then, there's the battery compartment. Rarely do battery compartments accrue anything but curses, but here we find a glowing exception. It's a battery compartment done right. The cap with its finger-friendly ridge is easy to remove, but will not come off by accident. It screws on and off smoothly and tightly, sealing out water. Inside, the battery holder slides out for easy insertion of batteries. Flexible wings hold each battery in its cradle, ensuring a snug fit for any brand of batteries. Rechargeable batteries fit just as well as disposable ones! After a quick glance down the barrel, it's intuitive which way to slide the battery holder back in. For once, an easy, quick, painless battery compartment that's rechargeable friendly!

While being well designed, this toy is what it is: a phallic, non-discrete sex toy. It's also a very large toy once you factor in rabbit and controls, so it isn't going to hide under a pillow very well, nor can it be tossed in a handbag. Unless you have one of those handbags large enough to stash a small child in; it'll disappear into one of those.

This rabbit has a wide range of intensity levels, and enough variety in function to let most people find a favorite. The vibrations are centered in the bullet int he rabbit's belly, and do not carry to the shaft. The vibrations start with three evenly spaced intensity settings: a low, medium, and high. The low is high enough to be a good warm-up speed for most users, while the highest setting is indeed strong. After the steady speeds are an escalating function, medium pulse, fast pulse, then "short-short-short-long, short-short-short-long".

The shaft rotates in sync with the spinning beads, both of which move clockwise. They cannot be used or adjusted independently, but they can run at six increasing speeds. For both the rotation and the beads, the faster it was going the harder it was for a woman's PC muscles to stop them.

Both sets of easy-to-use functions are managed with a lit display on the control shaft. Each has its own increase and decrease buttons, so you can move back and forth among the setting without cycling through each time. Also, there is a dedicated off button on the bottom of the control panel that shuts off the whole toy. This may not seem like a big deal, but when you need to turn it off in a hurry, a dedicated off button is much faster than cycling through the functions.

This rabbit is water-proof, both in showers and when completely submerged. It gets a bit noisy when the rotation and beads are turned on, so be aware that shower noise or a thin door will not be enough to conceal it. The vibrations alone will not carry past a closed door.

TPE cannot be sanitized, so this toy should not be shared without a condom. Otherwise, though, this toy is very easy to clean. It's waterproof, so soap and water will do the trick, as will spray toy cleaners and wipes. Once clean and dry, it should be stored not touching other toys, as TPE doesn't always play nicely with other materials. A plastic or fabric bag is suggested. This material is compatible with all lubricants.

This really is one hell of a toy. When I loaded up the batteries, my first response was "Holy shit this thing is STRONG!" I'll be honest, after all the powerful toys I've sampled... this one almost intimidated me. Almost. Not enough to keep me from trying it out! Though the rotation is a tad too noisy for use in my living situation with roommates, it's still a very fun rabbit. Unfortunately, I'm one of the gals for whom this doesn't fit too well... but for something this good, I keep trying! It's worth wiggling it around endlessly to get just the right fit. It really is.
