iVibe rabbit waterproof - rabbit vibrator by Doc Johnson - review by LaLaLouise

A little disclaimer: I am more than happy to give as honest and thorough of a review as I possibly can, and I hope it is helpful to anyone looking for a personal opinion on this product. But please keep in mind that every woman is different. Your specific anatomy, level of sensitivity, and just plain preferences may be completely different from mine. There is no such thing as one toy that will please everyone who tries it, so please don't take my review alone as advice on whether or not to purchase this item for yourself. Combine it with several other reviews and your own knowledge about your body and preferences, and make an educated informed decision based on as much feedback as possible. That being said, here's what I think:

Rabbits are my absolute favorite style of toy. I had the iVibe Rabbit in purple (or "Grape" as they call it) for two years. It was always one of my favorites! I had the full-sized model, meaning the bullet's vibration and the shaft's rotation each had 8 speeds, along with the 3 different pattern functions. Function 1 is constant vibration and rotation. Function 2 is bullet pulsation, and the shaft changing directions back and forth. Function 3 is a faster version of Function 2. Within each function you can still adjust the vibration or rotation as you see fit. It really allows you to play around with different options, you never get bored! There is also a smaller version with fewer speeds and all 3 functions, and a suction-cup version with 3 speeds and only one function setting.

The shaft rotation is fairly strong, but as with any internal shaft rotation, the speed will slow down a bit once it's inside. The plastic beads inside provide extra stimulation for the vaginal walls, however they can be a bit noisy (but that's easy enough to tune out after a few seconds). The little bullet is wonderful, and flexible at its base for extra comfort. I find that rabbits with bullets that stay in place rigidly can be a bit uncomfortable, especially when the toy is inserted fully. I did not find the vein texture terribly noticeable, but perhaps I'm not as sensitive as other women.

This particular rabbit is waterproof. I've never actually used it in the tub or shower, but I like that I don't have to baby it when I wash it in the sink. The buttons are just raised in the panel, so as long as the battery compartment is twisted shut all the way, no worries.

It's made of PVC, meaning it is compatible with both water and silicone-based lubricants. Keep in mind that silicone-based lubricants are not water-soluble (the plus side is that it can be used in the shower or underwater without rinsing away), meaning it's a little bit harder to clean off afterward. However, silicone is superior in quality and long-lasting lubrication as opposed to water. I would recommend a hybrid lubricant. If you must use plain silicone, look for something like UberLube that does not leave a slick residue, but instead absorbs into and moisturizes the skin. I am not personally a lube person, so I don't have any direct feedback on which lubes work best with this product.

The texture, particularly the "realistic" head shape, means cleaning it will take a little more effort. But I use a foaming toy cleaner and it does the trick just fine. It does not give off any kind of odor that I've noticed. The jelly-like material does pick up lint and dust, so I would recommend storing it in a fabric bag or something similar. When drying after cleaning, pat dry if using a terry towel or cloth; rubbing and wiping can cause lint and fibers to stick to the material.

In the two years that I owned this product, I had to change the batteries maybe 5-7 times tops (always have extra batteries on hand. Nothing sucks more than being in the middle of playing and having the thing die on you!) One day I went to use it and nothing happened. Opened the battery compartment and saw that white chalky battery acid corrosion-looking stuff. I was very sad, but I work in an adult novelty store and 2 years seems to me like a decent life span. And at the rate that I tend to get used to (and therefore bored with) a toy, 2 years is probably good timing to get a new one!

A Doc Johnson toy is just about always a high-quality product. Compared to other rabbits that I sell, I find this one to be superior in option, up-to-date look and design, and not heavy or intimidating in size. In general, I would definitely recommend this product!
