Sparkle vibes - traditional vibrator discontinued by Cal Exotics - review by Airen Wolf

Everyone needs a bit of sparkly bling and this little baby supplies that in droves.

Shane's World Sparkle Vibes by California Exotic Novelties is 'Party Perfect', powerful, multi-speed, has a glitter finish and is smooth and seamless according to its packaging. This toy is made of hard plastic so its phthalates free, hypo-allergenic, food-grade material, and latex free. It is not very porous so it can be cleaned easily with mild soap and water or a commercial toy cleaner. It is very smooth and the sparkles make a rather routine vibe something special. The vibe is about 5 inches long from the tapered tip to its dial based bottom. It measures roughly 3 1/4 inches around the barrel of the shaft and roughly 2 1/2 inches at the tapered end. It is fairly short and not really meant for thrusting. It is straight so it doesn't hit the "g" spot easily but is short enough to be maneuvered into place, provided you like firm pressure and your "g" spot is easily located.

The vibe arrives in a clam shell type of package with the vibe being totally visible through the clear plastic. The toy could easily be stored in the package provided discretion isn't an issue for you. The paper insert inside the packaging has a picture of a blonde showing off her cleavage and most of her bikini area. Nothing too pornographic but not very discreet either. Included in the packaging is a paper battery insertion guide-very helpful! The paper gives all the information you will need when installing the battery (1 AA) as well as some precautions about battery type and a series of pictures depicting every battery compartment configuration available.

The package warns the buyer that the sparkle vibe is not waterproof. It goes on to mention that lubricant should be used with this product to maximize enjoyment though what type of lube is preferable is not mentioned. Since the toy is hard plastic it is compatible with all types of lube, so use your favorite!

This is pretty much a traditional dial based vibrator without any bells and whistles except for the pretty sparkles. The vibrations are concentrated in the tip and the plastic is clear enough that you can see the inner workings. The dial allows you to customize how much vibration you desire and on the lower settings the vibrations are relatively deep and throbby rather than high pitched and buzzy. On its highest setting the sparkle vibe won't make any but the most sensitive clitorises go numb but it should please even the most demanding power queens. It is pretty quiet but you would probably not be able to use it in a room with someone else without them noticing. I placed the vibe in the bed and could hear it fairly easily through the closed door. When I placed the vibe under the covers, however, I could no longer hear it through the closed door.

The toy is on the smaller side and shouldn't cause much discomfort or "stretch" if used vaginally, a bit of lube should make insertion easy and pleasurable. The vibrations can easily be felt all through the toy but concentrate in the tip for those who like pinpoint clitoral stimulation. It can be used to stimulate the nipples, labia, clitoris, g spot, perineum, taint, penis and scrotum. It should not be used for anal penetration due to the lack of a flared base and its size. Stimulating the anal opening feels nice and can aid in relaxation.

As always a quick wash with a towelette or a spritz of antibacterial toy cleaner will keep nasty bacteria at bay if you plan on sharing the toy. A condom could be used as well for easier clean up.

This toy is a workhorse type traditional vibrator and it still has pride of place in my bedside drawer. While I have the fancier vibes with more variations this one simply gets the job done! It doesn't run through batteries like a fiend and if I want simply a no frills quickie this one does the trick with sparkly panache!
