This is a fun and disappointing uniquely shaped vibrating probe. The specific uses are not as apparent as a more traditionally shaped vibrator. The bulbous tip is fun for running along the skin, using the drag as stimulation. There are no vibrations in the tip, but since they start at the neck, you can use the tip as a 'hook' to wrap around targeted areas on a penis shaft, clitoris or other sensitive areas. You can, with a partner controlling the vibrator, insert the bulb anally and use the vibrations on the external anal area. Do not try this alone, however-there is no flared base.

Men, women and couples can have fun with sensory teasing and foreplay, using the vibrations and bulbous tip as differing sensations. Make sure you use some lube and enjoy experimenting.

The base and internal battery casing and motor housing are made from ABS plastic. The Silicone casing sleeve covers the vibrator from the top of the base and continues up to the tip, about 1 1/4" higher than the top of the motor housing. The safety rating on the silicone is 10. Silicone is bacteria resistant, easily sanitized and hypoallergenic.

The material has a nice drag against your skin, with added stimulation from the bulb on the top and the light wrinkling built into the shaft area. This texture will be good for beginner to advanced users. The ball on top is flexible, while the shaft is rigid but plush.

There is no aroma or taste to this vibrator.

The tip is a soft, opaque, clear 1 1/2" round bulb that is slightly curved to the front. The neck is 1" diameter and gradually grows to a 1 1/2" diameter at the base. This neck area is lightly textured with tiny wrinkles.

The size is great for intermediate to advanced users and for new users who can take a larger size initially. The bulb is a bit intimidating, but once it is inserted, can be a nice stimulant. The vibrations are felt, not in the bulb, but about 1/2" below the tip. There is no vibration in the bulb whatsoever, but the vibrations travel nicely throughout the shaft.

My sleeve has started to come off the base, (about 2 1/2"), after the second use. Maybe it is all the kegels I have done, but holy cow!! I am glad I was not using this in the tub! Or that it did not come off completely, even though it would not have required a trip to ER, it would have been an embarrassing situation in the heat of the moment!! As it is, my husband cannot quit laughing every time he looks at this toy. Especially after the 30 minutes it took to get the sleeve back over the base.

The base unscrews to access the battery compartment. Add 2 AAA batteries, screw the base back on and you are ready to vibrate. Twist the dial to up the vibration power. There is a good range of vibration strengths. The noise is very low, almost silent with no blanket! This would make a great vibrator for those with noise issues due to either roommate situations or personal noise preferences.

The dial base is not waterproof. So care must be taken when using this in the bath or shower. The vibrations are very good in the shaft, but since they are not present in the tip, the performance of this vibrator is less than satisfying for me personally. If there would have been vibrations in the tip....it would have been pretty amazing. This one also will eat your batteries when you are not looking, so beware....

Wash the vibrator in warm and soapy water, rinse thoroughly and let it air dry. This material does pick up lint from the towels. I always go back over my toys with a toy cleaner for sanitizing. This one can be soaked in a 10% bleach and water solution, cleansed with rubbing alcohol or boiled for sanitizing. Do not submerge!!

Store this separate from your other toys, either in the original, shaped clamshell packaging or in a toy pouch. Silicone will break down if it is stored with other silicones. This renders the material unsafe and not usable. Use only water based lubes with this material.
