Shane's Hottie is an average vibrator with quite a punch! Its purpose is for vaginal stimulation, but I think it could be used anally too -- if you are seasoned in that area. If you do choose to try this anally, just make sure to hold tightly onto the base, because Hottie does not have a flared base. Also, if you try this anally, use a condom due to the fact that rubber is a porous material. I think this toy would be great for just about anyone, whether you are a beginner, or an advanced toy user.

The Hottie can be used for solo play, or with a partner to spice things up a little. The description on EdenFantasys.com says that the tip angles to hit your g-spot, but I didn't find that to be true. It does have an angle, but the angle is not enough to hit my g-spot. Since the Hottie has some awesome vibrations, it works great on your clitoris too!!!

The Hottie is made of rubber, which is rated a 3 on Eden's safety chart due to it being extremely porous. When I opened the package and took out the toy, I discovered it was very greasy. So, I would suggest cleaning it immediately. It also gives off a pretty strong scent. I have cleaned it quite a few times, and the smell is still pretty strong. So, if you are sensitive to strong odors, I would stay clear of this toy.

The texture is pretty pleasurable, but it does have some drag. If drag is irritating for you, use plenty of lube. I would say that this texture is good for all users, beginners or advanced. The Hottie does have veins running along the shaft, which is nice. There are also some ridges up by the head of the toy. Hottie is pretty flexible. It's squishy about half way down the shaft, due to the vibration motor being located on the top portion of the toy. This toy is supposed to resemble a realistic penis, and for the most part, it really does live up to that. The only exception to the realistic look is the color.

The Hottie resembles a penis with its veins and ridges. The head has a slight angle that is meant to hit your g-spot, but I didn't find that to be true; it wasn't enough of an angle to hit mine. The Hottie measures 7 1/2 inches in length, with 4 1/2 inches being insertable. The circumference is 4 inches. As far as the size goes, it is a little small for my liking. I think this size though would be great for a beginner -- I just prefer a little more girth. The Hottie is definitely not a discreet toy, it looks like what it is... a sex toy! I purchased Hottie in purple, and I love the color.

Hottie requires 2-AA batteries. Hottie's control is an easy to use dial on the bottom of the toy. All you have to do is turn the dial to turn it on and up. The vibrations are pretty powerful, especially on the highest setting; I would probably say that it has 5 vrooms. The powerful vibrations are probably my favorite thing about this toy. If you are a beginner, the lower settings are nice, too.

There are no patterns of vibrations, it is just a constant buzzy vibe. The vibrations can be felt throughout the whole toy, not just in the tip. I haven't had a problem with accidentally turning this toy off during play, which is always awesome!

This toy is waterproof, which is always a bonus. Just make sure that you have the cap for the battery compartment completely closed before submerging, because water could ruin this toy otherwise.

As far as sound goes, this is not a quiet toy. I live in an apartment with my bedroom wall being a shared wall, and I always make sure to have my blanket on top of me to muffle some of the noise.

Hottie is made of rubber, which is a 3 on the material safety chart. Rubber is a very porous material, which means it can trap dirt and bacteria. So, cleaning this toy is very important. It is strongly recommended that you use a condom with rubber toys, especially if you plan on sharing this with your partner. You can clean this toy with antibacterial soap and water. It is best to air dry this toy, or to use a soft cloth to dry it. Sadly you can not disinfect this toy at all, hence why using a condom is essential when sharing this toy.

As far as lubricants go, silicone or water-based lubes are best for Hottie.

The awesome thing about rubber toys is that they are meant to last pretty long with proper care.

Hottie came in a simple plastic container. It wasn't discreet at all, so make sure you open the box in private, unless you want others to see it. The paper insert says it is a "Shane's World" toy, which is a porn website. There is a small piece of paper providing instructions on how to insert the batteries and operating the toy. I didn't find that the instructions were really needed, since it is a pretty self explanatory toy. The container it comes in is not suitable for storage, and I wouldn't suggest giving it as a gift in this packaging, either.

I think that the Hottie is a great basic toy. It has awesome vibrations that I really enjoy and appreciate. The look does resemble an actual penis, and I like that very much. The size could be a little bigger, but it is pretty average. I think that this would make a great addition to a toy collection!

When I took Hottie out of the container, I immediately had to wash my hands and clean the toy due to its greasiness. However, as soon as I felt the vibes on this thing, I was immediately excited! I prefer clitoral stimulation with pretty much any toy, so I did use a bullet. I am not disappointed with this toys ability to do what it is meant to do at all!
