Satin Slim Tickler - review by Opulent_Isis

Okay, so I have to admit that when I got this in the mail and finally had it out of its packaging, I was already expecting not to like it. Why? Well I saw the little nubby things on the head of it, and I noticed that the vibrator was further down on the shaft (about an inch and a half away). So I thought, "Oh, great, the vibrations won't travel far enough up to where I want them to go". I admit, it's probably not the best thing to automatically assume something is not going to work. I think there is a saying about assuming things too. Something about asses. Hmm. But as you guessed it, I was wrong. Really wrong. It has been known to happen.

I was very pleasantly surprised to realize that, yes, they do go all the way up! Oh thank god. Not only did they go where I was oh-so-happy for them to go, they worked wonderfully too. Vibration plus little nubby things equal yay! After that, it did not take long for me to... go to my happy place. So that is one major point in the PROS column for this toy. Secondly, I really like the material that it is made of. The shaft is flexible. It is soft and somewhat pliable. Which makes it that much more comfortable to use. And, c'mon, who doesn't like comfort?

Now for the bad news: the buttons at the bottom and the settings are confusing. There are two buttons on the bottom of the toy, and both are shaped the same way. One is the on-off switch, and the other changes the tempo of the buzzing. There were a few times when I wanted to change tempo and I accidentally turned it off. That's sort of frustrating. I wish the buttons were shaped differently or something, just so that it is easier to tell the difference when you're just going by feel.

And finally, I think there may be a few too many vibration settings. I know, who knew there was such a thing as too many? But really, it's like you know which one you want. It takes what seems like ten clicks to get back to it, all the time going "Nope, not that one, or that one. Oh, that might be... nope. Is my battery dying? No, that's just a lower setting... Ah, there it is!".

All in all, I really did like this toy. The good far outweighs the bad. It is definitely one of the better ones that I own.
