When I received my first ever purchase from Eden, I was impressed that everything was well packed, but especially with how the Paul and Paulina was packaged attractively. I detected no odor or smell upon unpacking. Also, included was a small sample of the Fun Factory Toyfluid. My first impression was that it was bigger than I expected and REALLY pink. These might be things for some to consider if storage is an issue or you plan to travel with it; there is no hiding what it is. Then I got everything out and immediately wanted to get it charging. Uh oh, how does it charge? So I pulled out the directions. My husband and I are new to sex toys and I was surprised that it came with directions. Unfortunately, that did not help. I kept sticking the magnetic charger all over Paul and Paulina and inside the silver loop, but finally figured out after getting on the internet that the charger should be on the white part of the handle over the Fun Factory emblem. When it is charging, the magnetic charger lit up red. So, I left it to charge and get ready for some fun that night. It needs to charge for 6 hours before first use, so it is not ready out of the box. The toy is nice and firm, but flexible too and the silicone is so smooth.

I liked that you could start slow and easily increase the intensity of the vibrations with the + button as you warmed up. You can also easily go down in intensity with the - button to slow things down a bit. I liked having more than one program, that is changed by pressing the * button. I will say there was one pattern in particular that I found annoying because it was almost like a start stop start stop. Maybe someone else would like this, but I did not. The vibrations were nice and strong. While there is not a vibrator specifically for Paulina, the vibrations from Paul are strong enough that Paulina can rock my world. The ridges give some extra pleasure too.

I really wanted something that was rechargeable, since batteries are a hard to find commodity in a house with 3 kids. The charge seems to last a long time. We have not run out of battery power while using it. I charge again after use. I also like that it is waterproof, and while we have not had the opportunity to use it in the shower yet, it makes cleaning easy. We are hoping to have a chance to use it in the shower or hot tub in the near future.

Since this is our first vibrator, I really have nothing to compare it to. We are having fun playing with it and experimenting. I can say that it is a nice bonus to our sex life. I do not think it will be our last vibe, but I am glad we started with this one since it is so enjoyable.

For the most part I still like it. For a while it went out of favor for my Jopen VR6, but now this has come back in favor.
