Dr. Laura Berman Vesta - traditional vibrator discontinued by Cal Exotics - review by exploringthechimera

I have had my fair share of experience with vibrators and none have been as disappointing as with the Vesta. My disappointment began from the moment I opened the box to the end of my experience. I wish I had something positive to give in this review, it is always a joy to be able to recommend a wonderful product but in the case of the Vesta I recommend looking for another product.

To tell the tale of this spiral of disappointment I will begin with details of the vibrator and then move on to my experience. The vibrator comes in your standard hard plastic box, not ideal for storage. Batteries are not included. Inserting the batteries is easy but battery removal is difficult.



My first impression when holding the vibrator was how cheap it felt. The exterior is made of TPR giving it a soft fleshy like texture. Unlike other TPR toys I have used this one is extremely stretchy. You can pinch the exterior and feel it pull away from the plastic core. This was my first major disappointment; the toy feels like it will not last long. The toy did not have a noticeable smell to me.





Since the vibrator is made from TPR, silicone or water based lubricants can be used; also if sharing the toy condoms should be used. The toy is easily cleaned using warm water and cleaner; the toy should not be boiled. The toy will need to be cleaned before and after every use; this is because the TPR on this toy acts as a lint magnet. Be careful when using because if you clean the toy and use a towel to dry or lay the toy down on the bed it will get lint, hair or whatever else it can grab.

The vibrator measures approximately 6 1/2" in length and 1" in diameter. I would consider this to be on the small side compared to the other vibrators I own. The vibrator has uniform grooves that run the length of the vibrator spaced about an inch apart.

The box of the vibrator states that there are 5 vibration functions. Including vibration, pulsation and escalation. It is easy to move between the different functions by pressing the button at the base of the vibrator. The button is easy to press, but positioned in such a way that an accidental change is not easy.

This vibrator may be good for those new to vibrators. The soft purple color and grooved design make the vibrator non-intimidating to those new with vibrators. The smaller size would also make is ideal for for easier insertion. Although the soft texture makes the life of the vibrator seem sort, it may allow for an enjoyable experience for those that prefer a flesh like feeling.

The main reason for rating this toy so low comes from my use with it. First I tried the toy without the vibrating function. I love vibrators with grooves so I was excited. When I inserted the toy I couldn’t feel any of the grooves. I don’t know if this was because of how soft the toy is or the grooves are not cut deep enough. Using this toy felt just like using a smooth vibrator to me. The vibrations were also disappointing. The box claims to have 5 functions of vibration, pulsation and escalation. I'm not sure if this is how it's supposed to be, but to me it felt like the vibrations were jumpy. I found each function to be more confusing than arousing to my body. I never reached orgasm with the toy I had to stop use and play with myself in order to achieve orgasm.

Over all I do not think this toy is worth the time or the money. In all honesty I do not even want to use the toy to do a follow up review. I found no pleasure in using the toy. The only reason I can think to buy this toy if if you are looking for an inexpensive gag gift to give, but even at that I think there are much better options out there.
