First of all let me say, I do not like the location of the on/off switch. It is at the bottom of the egg, near the retrieval string. This means that when you are inserting it, your finger is dangerously close the off button. Even worse, the egg will not buzz to tell you if it is on, so you could turn it off and not know. In my case, that means sticking it in, turning it on through the remote, feeling perplexed because it is not working, pressing the buttons again, pulling it out, then realizing the durn egg was off.
Another problem I had was with the range of the remote. When it was internal, for some reason the remote only worked when it las lower than my waist. So for example, during solo play If insert the toy in my vagina the hold the remote at my chest it would not work. If I put my arms down and had the remote at my thigh it worked.
I tried different combination by myself and with my partner, and the remote simply would not work above my waist.
On the other hand, when the toy was not internal it had the 16ft range it boasts on the box. Even with the toy behind my back the remote worked at distance. It was only when it was internal that the remote was 'blocked.'
On a positive note, the toy provides varied relatively strong vibrations throughout 90% of the egg. (The very top does not vibrate). It has seven different vibrations, ranging from soft to powerful pulses. You can easily scan through the vibrations by clicking the mode button on the remote. Internally it gives a very soothing massage that is hardly audible.
The egg is waterproof, which is absolutely necessary if you are going to use it internally. The included remote and charging station are not. The remote uses one N battery, and the charging station connects through AC power.
The remote is small and easy to use, but it is not as well made as the egg. On its second use, the letters were rubbed off of the controls. Good thing there are only two so I can still figure out what buttons to push. Also during our experiment with the range we got frustrated and apparently pushed the mode button a little too hard. The button actually popped out of the remote! Thankfully I was able to pop it back in.
I think this weekend we will try it on some stairs (He would be below my waist right?) so that I can get a better idea on that theory.
We will continue to play with it, and add more details in a follow up.
