Rowdy - realistic vibrator with control pack by EdenFantasys - review by LadyJiyae

~First Impressions~

My first impression of this toy wasn't the greatest. The smell of the material is overwhelmingly strong, and the toy was coated in some sort of powder. I assumed this was just from shipping and manufacturing, and over time the smell did begin to fade. It is made phthalate-free, from PVC and ABS Plastic. There's a good weight to it and a slight flex to make it more comfortable during use. It is about 7 1/2 inches and approximately 1 1/2 inches in girth. There's also a suction cup base if you want to stick it to a hard surface; however please note this toy is not waterproof. Do not use the vibration feature if you bring the toy into the shower with you.



~The Remote~

The toy comes with a detachable remote; to use the vibe feature you simply plug the cord in much like a set of headphones plugs into an iPod. There is a single push button on the remote, just keep pressing the button to cycle through the different vibration patterns. There are 10 different settings that range from steady vibe, pulse, and to a fade in/out. Overall I was pretty happy with the different vibrations; they were steady and powerful for only 2 AAA batteries. Sadly, it did take me a while to figure out how to turn it off. Just press and hold the button, and eventually, it stops. The remote twists slightly to open and an inner cartridge slides out, you load the batteries

~Suction Base~

The suction base is easy to use and attach. Simply press the toy onto a smooth and clean surface, and it will stay put. To release the toy pinch or lift the cup slightly to create a small opening, then you can lift it free. It sticks well to common materials like glass, mirrors, countertops - and whatever else you could think of along those lines.

~Lube Recommendation~

I typically will always recommend a water-based lube for toys until you know how it will interact with oil-based or silicone based products. If you want to use these types of products, simply use a little bit on the end of a finger and rub a test spot on the base somewhere out of the way. If you see any change in color or material texture, don't use that product.

~Cleaning~

Clean with standard toy cleaner, rinse, and either pat dry with a towel or let air dry. Do not use antibacterial soap or bar soaps, this will create pores in the material over time, and it traps bacteria (which if done often enough can lead to health issues).

~Storage Recommendation~

I am a big fan of ditching the store package and using Ziplock bags. You can keep them airtight after cleaning, so there's no need to clean them again before use, and it's a cheaper alternative to expensive retail toy bags. Do replace these once they begin to show wear or if you forget to clean the toy after you're done using them.

My partner and I really enjoyed using this product. I got it for her as she tends to like the larger toys and she didn't have any complaints. The vibration is strong but not loud, the texture of the toy makes it feel good in all the right places, and the cord is long enough that you don't have to figure out how to hold it while you're moving around. We found that it worked well with the lube I already had (water-based Swiss Navy) and was very easy to clean.
