Vibrating crotchless panty - strap-on vibrator by Cal Exotics - review by Valyn

The Vibrating Crotchless Panty from California Exotic is an interesting piece for the collection. It's lingerie, and a toy! What could be better, right?

It is intended to be used well... just as it sounds. They are crotchless panties that have a vibrator. What's nice about these is that they can be used alone for a little vibrating fun in your pants, or with a partner!

The vibrator that comes with the panties is only about 2 inches big, so I really would not recommend you try inserting it. It's made to go in the "pocket" of the panties only. The vibe is strong enough that these panties can be a very nice distraction! Just try not to go dry humping desks!

The panties are made out of stretchy black nylon, sewn with hot pink thread. Personally, I like the pink stitching, it adds a little flavor to them! The fabric feels almost satin-like, and it's nice that it's so stretchy. They do come with a bit of a "new store" smell, but nothing out of the ordinary or unexpected there. The vibe is a sleek little silver bullet. I believe it's just made out of plastic, and it's really shiny.

The panties look just like a regular t-string thong, but with two strings going from the crotch to the back 'T'. I was a little unsure of how functional they would be, because the triangle in the front seemed a bit large to me. It's much bigger than some of my normal, non-crotchless thongs.

The vibrator looked fine. Nothing special there, just a standard itty bitty vibrator. It looked like the right size to be put into a pair of panties.

What's best about the crotchless vibrating panty is that it is extremely discreet! The vibrator is quiet, and the whole deal goes under your clothes (unless you're a panty model)! This makes it easy to hide, nice to use, and easy to travel with (though you might want to take out the vibrator if you're going through airport checks).

The little silver bullet vibe looked simple and harmless enough, but WOW does it vibrate! I was actually a little concerned that the vibrations would be too much when I first turned it on. I handed it to my boyfriend, and even his eyes widened at the tiny shakin' hero! But, being a trooper, I put them on anyway!

Once the vibe was inside the panty, I realized why it was so strong. In the panty, the vibrations of the bullet are great. I actually found myself wanting a little more pressure on the area. The vibrations sound a little loud when you're holding the vibe in your hands, but inside the panty, I thought it was pretty quiet. It might be noticed in a totally silent room, but where there is a little regular background noise, the vibe can vibe away!

As far as the crotchless part, I found there was much to be desired. I was so excited to have a naughty crotchless panty, and my boyfriend liked the idea too. But when we tried out that part, it was disappointing. The two strings on the panty are too close together, so it doesn't make the crotchless part very convenient. It was almost easier to just move both strings to the side, like regular panties.

The vibrating crotchless panty is pretty easy to care for. Since they're nylon, they can go in with regular laundry. I'd suggest a delicate cycle, and cold water to wash them, so that there isn't any fading.

For the vibe, if you need to clean it at all (because it should just stay in the panty...), you can rinse off the silver part with soap and water. I think immersing it in water would kill the vibe, so be careful with the top of it!

The panty comes in a regular box. Mine was actually a little beat up when it arrived. The box is rectangular, so if you get these as a gift, you can easily wrap it up. Every part came in a plastic bag inside the box. There were the panty, the vibe, six batteries, and a little paper with instructions on how the batteries need to go in the vibe.

Honestly, I was disappointed with the whole crotchless part. It sounded too naughty and exciting, being able to have that kind of any time access. Unfortunately, the panty was not as awesome as I had hoped it would be. The triangle was way too big for me - it covered all parts of what should have been crotchless! I was also expecting a sort of pouch in the panties for the vibe, but the only place to put it in one little patch of fabric, like most panties have anyway. I'll probably use the vibrator in other panties.

The panty felt great with the vibe in. Wearing them around the house for a little made me want to wear them out! Unfortunately, the crotchless part was not so fun. My boyfriend and I tried using them as intended, but he said it was a little uncomfortable rubbing against two pieces of fabric. I felt a little sore too, from having the strings press against me in weird ways during sex.

We tried the panty doggy style, as that seemed the most realistic setting to use crotchless panties if we were to sneak a quickie in a semi-public place. But as I was bent over during sex, I felt the vibrator vibrating right out of the pouch! I had to hold it back in place so that it wouldn't slide out and vibe my tummy.
