De la curve - traditional vibrator by Doc Johnson - review by mysecretcollection

I am not a fan of the color pink. I could blame my parents for always dressing my twin sister in pinks, and me in blues, but this is not the time and place for that kind of therapy. Even though I don't care much for pink, this rhinestone infused curvy pink princess makes me feel all girly, and makes me second guess my feelings on the color.

Used most commonly for vaginal stimulation, this vibrator can also be used for nipple stimulation, clitoral stimulation, or even anal penetration (with the protection of a condom of course). With its wide variety of uses anyone and everyone can find a use for this pretty toy with no special occasion necessary!

Made up of phthalate free ABS, this non-toxic toy gives a firm feel, yet with a silky smooth velvety touch with no seams. The material is great because it is easy to clean, has no odor, and has a texture that is great for both beginners and more advanced users.

The great thing about this toy is the contour of the shaft. At the widest areas it is 1.5 inches and then curves in to 1 inch, and back. It resembles some what of an anorexic frosty the snow man (for those of you who like extra visuals). The shape added extra stimulation, and reenacted the enjoyment of the first penetration without having to completely remove the toy and insert over and over.

The glue used to hold on the rhinestones must be some top secret military grade stuff, as I tried to see if I could use my fingernail to "accidentally" pry off a rhinestone, and I was not successful. That gives me a warm fuzzy, because no one wants to have to worry about where part of the toy wandered off to.

The packaging of the toy states that it is 7 inches. Now, I have come to the conclusion that it was a man that measured this toy, as it is not seven inches, yet 6.5 inches, with 5.5 inches of insert-able length. At the widest areas it is 1.5 inches (so that's like 2 inches in "man sizes") and 1 inch where it curves in. I find that this is a great size for both beginner users, and those who do not seek out the larger toys. The toy is travel friendly in a carry on, but perhaps a little too big for a handbag (yes, SOME of us carry toys in our handbags. You would be surprised what other goodies can be found in there as well!) Additionally, while I wouldn't try to hide this in your pocket, it will fit in the cases that are available through EF.

I find that the design is great. It is not over stimulating, but not as basic as a slimline vibe.

The twist dial at the base of the toy allows it to go from 0 to OOOOH in no time flat. Of course the closer you get to the "OOOOH" the noisier this toy gets. At the highest setting it is loud enough to hear through a down comforter, yet still quiet enough to not wake anyone in the next room.

Based on the feeling of the vibrations, I would assume that the vibration is located in the tip of the toy, making it wonderful for stimulation while playing with a partner. The downside of this particular toys twist control is that each time when I attempt to turn it off I am finding that I am opening the battery compartment. I attempted to tighten the cap, yet I continue to have this issue.

Although the description states this toy is waterproof, I am a little leery about that. The battery compartment has a gasket so that water will not leak through, but when I went to clean it and opened it up, there were "Ange juices" (that's my real name) inside the casing, so I am not sure how it would work with water, and after that, I don't think I am going to try.

When in use stick only to water based lubes if a lube is needed. A rule that I go by is silicone based for boys, water based for toys. It is super easy to remember, and will help safe guard your products.

Because of the material, this toy is easy to clean with antibacterial soap and water, or a toy cleaner. Personally, I prefer toy cleaners, but to each his/her own. If you do like to keep your toys stored in the original packaging, I suggest to keep toys stored in plastic bags so that toys do not get dirty, or touch other toys. Always, and I mean always, even if it is not stated on a review, or product details, store your toys with the batteries OUT. Batteries can corrode and ruin your toys. Do not ruin your investment.

The toy will come nestled all snugly in a piece of plastic that slides out of a plastic box. The box is tastefully decorated with a vine of rhinestones around the clear middle that shows off the toy in all it's pretty pink wonder. Instructions for use are not provided on the package, but probably because it is pretty self explanatory. I did however learn how to write "Multi speed, waterproof vibrator with decorative crystals/ phthalate free ABS" in five new languages!
