Wicked stud clit banger - traditional vibrator by Cal Exotics - review by Red Riding Hood

I rather enjoyed the Wicked Stud Clit Banger. This is a penetration product with a ridge toward the base. This design is intended to offer vaginal stimulation as well as clitoral. I personally could not feel the clitoral ridge, but felt the product was great for vaginal stimulation. It has great texture that can be easily felt without being too uncomfortable. The vibrations were strong enough to use for clitoral stimulation, however not the way the product was intended. It's much easier to just press the head of the toy against your body to achieve clitoral stimulation.

With a pretty design and color, this stud is also appealing to the eyes. However, due to the jelly being mostly clear, discoloration could occur. This is normal for lighter colored or clear jellies. It's not my favorite jelly vibe, but for a less expensive product it's more than sufficient.

The Wicked Stud Clit Banger is made of a jelly material that is neither too soft, nor too firm. The jelly is just firm enough to supply a strong pressure, but has a bit of give on the surface to make insertion a little more comfortable. The outside texture is quite nice. As some products that are similar to this also have similar textures, these are a bit more easily felt. The design isn't only for improving the way the product looks. You can actually FEEL the texture; which is one thing I did like about this product. There is supposed to be a ridged clitoral stimulator. Although I can feel it with my hand, my clit never reaches that point, and so I cannot say if it can be easily felt during vaginal use.

The head has a nice smooth shape, and although it's a little too big to be comfortable inserted without warming up with a smaller toy for me, I did like how the underside had ridges. These were easily felt and although not orgasmic on their own, they provided a nice feel. These ridges go down the entire length so it doesn't matter at what point of insertion you get to, the entire shaft has texture!

This product is a lot thicker than it looked on the screen, and I have a hard time using it without warming up with something smaller. Once warmed up, the girth can be more comfortable, but I couldn't cope with the entire length plus the girth. Despite all of this the, pressure (due to the size) did feel nice. In my opinion, this would have worked better for me if it had been a little bit thinner. But for those women who love thicker toys, this should be your cup of tea.

The shape of the design was appealing. I enjoyed the way it looked and felt. It was proportioned nicely, and didn't have any odd angles or crevices that can be unpleasant. It has a slight curve which was the best part of the design and angles just right for that g-spot action women love so much. I wouldn't recommend this for someone's first toy. But it should be fine for a woman that knows she's comfortable with a little more size in her toys. This is also not very easy to store or hide, due to its design and thickness. It looks exactly like what it is... a vibrating dildo. If you want a small or discreet design, this is not the way to go.

This product performed quite well but no better than most other jelly products I've tried. The vibrations are easily felt, although not earth shattering. Once I learned to work with the size, I ended up liking it. Not LOVING it like I have some, but it felt nice. It's easy to use and waterproof so you don't have to sit and "figure out" this toy. It's quite simplistic with a turn dial base and easy to load batteries that you just drop in.

Battery-wise, the product is average. It does get warm after prolonged use (20 minutes or more) and the batteries get weak after about 6 uses of 15-20 minutes. This seems to be the same with most of my battery operated toys, so I wouldn't use this to knock the product. It's fairly quiet for something with such a strong buzz, but not silent by any means. If it's brushed against a bed post or dresser it creates a loud buzzing sound that is by no means discreet. But that happens with all vibrators.

It's passed plenty of waterproof tests and the rubber ring stays in place just fine. Shower use, washing and lubes haven't seeped in and the product works nicely. It's basically average in every functional way in battery use, strength, sound and ease of use.

As mentioned before, this product is a jelly material. It also has a lot of large ribs going down the length with a leaf-like textured base. With this in mind, cleaning this isn't an easy task. A good toy cleaner would be best for this purpose, and would be much easier to clean those crevices with. Always use warm water (not hot or cold) to preserve the life of jelly products like this one.

The jelly seems sturdy and could hold well if cleaned properly and stored properly. I just keep the packages and store them in a drawer in mild temperatures. This has worked well for this toy and all of my others. If you are not into the idea of saving the packaging, be sure not to store it with other jelly or cyberskin products as they can ‘melt’ together or dyes can stain other products. A nice silky bag should work nicely to ensure this doesn't happen.

Do NOT use this product with silicone lube. Water based lubricants are ideal for jelly materials, and are much easier to clean. They will not harm the material, and you won't have to work nearly as hard trying to wash and rinse the lubricant off.

This toy came in the standard plastic box. It's easy to use so instruction isn't really needed, but it did have a little instruction guide for inserting the batteries. This isn't really needed as just looking at the product for about 2 minutes tells you all you need to know about the functions and battery operation.

The packaging doesn't exactly SELL the product. The product itself is the draw. I tossed the inserts away, and just used the plastic box as storage. I do this with all of my toys that are packaged as such, and it works well for me. If you're wanting to present this as a gift for someone, and you want a formal or pretty package, look elsewhere. This product is your standard plastic package and isn't exactly attractive.

The jelly is packaged with the usual protective oily coat that makes it smell like every other jelly toy. The smell actually isn't so strong, and after one washing it was ready for use; which is no problem at all for me as I ALWAYS wash before use anyhow. After the second washing the toy doesn't have much of an odor at all.
