This was one of my first toys. I wasn't sure how to use it, but I quickly figured it out. It is so easy to take apart to insert the battery, which is only one AA. And it's even easier to put back together and turn on. It feels soft to the touch, and it feels really great in use! As far as other vibrating toys go, I think this one has the average "buzz" that others have. It's not terribly loud, but you can tell when it's on.

When in use, you can hold it if you want to, but it works great even if you don't. It's a great toy to use to explore yourself. It can be used on either the clit or the g-spot. Its small size is perfect for both areas, and the speed is not overwhelming for beginners.

The Velvet Violet is also very easy to clean. This item is waterproof, so it can be cleaned easily with soap and water. It can also be cleaned with any kind of toy spray or wet wipe.

This is really nice for a couples toy as well. It is small and easy to use, and perfect for foreplay. It is so nice to get a little extra kick to get the juices flowing. And it's great to add that little extra clit stimulation that so many women need during sex. It won't get in the way of you and your lover, and it will stay right where you need it to.

The only thing I am disappointed in is the durability. If you want something for a couple months, this is perfect. But after long-term use, I am sad to say that mine has finally been put to rest.

The durability aside, I would definitely recommend this toy to any woman looking for a toy to use alone, or a toy to use with a lover.
