Petit Ami - clitoral vibrator discontinued by Cal Exotics - review by Tori Rebel

Coming in at about three inches long and less than a half inch thick, this shiny oblong flower-decorated vibrator could easily be overlooked by anyone that had not seen such a toy before. It has a smooth oval indentation on the front side and a small button on the edge near the rear to turn on and off the single speed vibration. Because of this indentation, it’s easy to use and comfortable to hold.

On the back of the toy there are 3 small screw holes and the opening to the battery compartment that houses 1 AAA battery. These things make the back of the toy more or less useless, as I would not recommend rubbing a plastic hole with a screw head inside against your genitals, or a battery case for that matter.

I generally use this toy on myself or for foreplay or added stimulation when I’m with a partner, with just a little drop of lube if necessary – most times I use nothing at all with it. Since only one side of the toy is really usable on delicate areas, I tend to use either the edge or the tip of the decorated side for clit stimulation. One very nice feature I’ve noticed is that when you apply pressure to this toy, say holding it tight and close to your body, the vibrations do not get milder or muted like some will when you press to hard on them. It holds its own pretty well for such a tiny and affordable piece of equipment. Its volume is an even match for its size, being comparable to a vibrating cell phone – just adding to its brownie points for being discreet and easily used without anyone really noticing. Also, this toy is not meant for any type of penetration in any way, shape, or form. It’s really best suited for clit stimulation but could also be used on the labia, outside of the genitals or on the super delicate frenulum of a penis, or around the nipples. It’s smooth mostly flat surface make it ideal for lightly massaging small erogenous areas.

It is just strong enough to get me off, but it can take a while. It may work better for others though, as low and moderate vibrations usually aren’t my thing – I prefer a toy with a medium-high to high level but I still like this toy for what it is. It is fantastic to keep on you just in case you need a little extra help getting over the edge with a partner when traveling, or if you just like to have a toy nearby when you’re away from home in case you want to get a little frisky with yourself. There have been a couple of times when I’ve been away from home for part of a day or even on a trip when I didn’t bring another toy that I was very happy I kept this one stored in my vehicle.

This toy is also not waterproof, so use it in dry situations only. It is however, made of phthalate-free plastic and can be used with any type of lubricant you like. It is also easy to clean as long as you’re careful around the battery compartment on the back. It does get a little slippery when you get the lube on the place you hold the toy by though, which is true of many very small hard plastic toys.

I’ve had mine for about a year and have not yet had to change the batteries. It is still running as smoothly and consistently as the day I bought it. The decal has also not rubbed or chipped off at all, which impressed me. It can be stored among any other clean, safe material toys, and since this toy’s best feature is its small size and discreet appearance, it can go just about anywhere with you. I’ve carried it in my purse, in my pocket, and like I said, for a while I had it in the glove compartment of my truck. The power button is not sensitive enough to make any of these hiding places an issue with accidentally turning it on. It really is amazingly travel friendly.

Overall, I like this toy and as long as it keeps running, I’ll keep using it. It was very affordable, and while it’s not an everyday go-to toy, a penetrating toy, or got levels of insane vibration, it is pleasing and consistent. It would work well for just about anyone looking for a little extra buzz, something that can be hidden very easily, or someone looking for a low priced affordable toy to add to their collection.
