The Inked Vibes Royal is presented by California Exotic (maker), A Mere Girl (advanced reviewer) and EdenFantasys.

Again I just so love the art work. A functional toy may as well be attractive, right? The art is applied by a decal under a coating over the vibe itself. The decal is not self evident as I could not find any ridges with my finger nail. Mine is black which enhances the vividness of the bold art work.

There is absolutely no taste or smell, it is non-porous and hypoallergenic. At 7 3/4 inches long and 1 1/5 inches wide, it is very manageable and not intimidating for its intended use. It is perfectly smooth and very easy to grasp and hold for play.

When I applied lube, any lube is OK, I found the art even more enticing as the colors reflected through the lube.

The design,colors, shape, size, power and controls are perfect for this vibe. Yes, on high the vibrations are strong but it is so simple to just dial back to achieve your own comfort level.
Because this toy is rigid, no way can it hit my G -but on my clit....it delivered a mind blowing orgasm. I was lost admiring the art and suddenly...wow!

I did lay back and inserted this in my now very wet pussy but the toy being smooth and rigid did not provide much additional pleasure and was somewhat uninteresting when thrusting in this manner. I did feel the vibes throughout my vagina but I could not give my G-spot attention.

Again when I moved the vibe to my clit, another numbing orgasm ensued.

The vibrations emanate from just near the tip and continue down the entire toy. The control is great, at the base and so easy to change intensity by just dialing. It is a basic vibrator, no patterns...just vibration.

Noise was not an issue, the cardboard cylinder inside seems to muffle some of the noise.
This toy is advertised as being waterproof, I used it in the shower for a quickie and this vibe does deliver.

This vibe can not be sterilized. I am reluctant to use bleach as it might dull the beautiful colors. I wash it with soap and water and/or a toy cleaner. It does not attract lint or dust and be stored anywhere. Mine is out on my night stand ready to grasp.

Any lube works but I only used water based but honestly, very little lube is needed for clit stimulation and I don't use this toy for vaginal thrusting.

If sharing, a condom is recommended.

The packaging is basic and cheap. A simple plastic box with a see through window with a plastic sleeve to hold and display the vibe. Instructions were only on installing the batteries....just like a flashlight.

For me the appeal of this toy is the art work and overall functionality. It is a perfect clit vibe, enables the user to go as hard or slow as she wants.

I also use it during vaginal sex with my b/f as it easily hits my clit, is easy to hold and by b/f enjoys the feel of some of the vibes toward the base of his cock.

This is an ideal masturbation toy and also turn-on for me to look at as I play. This vibe will take you over the edge to orgasmic bliss fairly quickly if you want.

I quickly realized that this is not a thrusting toy for this girl. I have found that if I use a dil such as the Tex or Leo for thrusting,and the introduction of this vibe to my clitoris produces an awesome orgasm.
