Little flower - traditional vibrator discontinued by Shaki Toys - review by puppylove

The Little Flower is a petite vibrator that does best for external stimulation. While it can be inserted, it is so small in size that you may not find it pleasurable, and you can find toys that are much more suited for that purpose. The Little Flower almost seems like a large bullet rather than a traditional vibrator like it is classified. You can use this for clitoral stimulation, nipple stimulation or any other erogenous zone. The Little Flower can be used solo or let your partner tease you with this little toy. It is also waterproof, so you can use this one in the tub or shower if you please.

The Little Flower is made from a pastel pink plastic which rates an 8 on the Eden Fantasys' safety scale. It is body safe, non-porous, hypo-allergenic, and phthalate-free. The plastic is very firm and rigid; it has no give, bend or squish at all. However it does have a velvety coating to it. You can use any type of lube you want with plastic toys as there is no worry that the lube will bind with the plastic and gum up the texture.

The Little Flower is covered in a cute floral pattern. The petals and stems of the floral pattern cover the majority of the shaft of the toy. The texture adds a nice touch to external stimulation, as the toy is so small in the first place I could not really feel the texture much upon insertion. For those that are familiar with Pleasure Petals the pattern of the texture on the Little Flower is the same, just scaled down.

The Little Flower is quite little at 4 inches long, with an insertable length of just 3 inches. It does feature a rounded tapered tip on the shaft with a floral texture on it. The shaft is 2.75 inches in circumference with a diameter of 3/4 of an inch. The Little Flower is so little that I would dare to classify it as a beefed up bullet, or a miniature traditional vibrator. Its size seems to fall between the two. Its small stature does make it fairly travel friendly, you could slip this one into your purse or makeup bag for some good vibrations wherever you go.

The Little Flower along with some other petite vibrators; the Little Honey, the bullet out of the EF Silicone Finger Bunny, and the Diamond Spot Vibrator.

The Little Flower features two vibration functions powered by a single AA battery. You will notice when you insert the battery that there is a rubber o-ring on the battery cap, it is there to prevent water from getting into the toy when using in wet conditions. This toy is waterproof and can be used in the shower or tub if you would like to do so. The two functions are low steady and high steady vibrations. The Little Flower is turned on by a single button on the base of the toy. Pressing down on the button once will turn the Little Flower on to low, pressing it down again changes to high. To turn the Little Flower off, press down on the button a third time and it will turn off. The size of the Little Flower makes it good for pin point stimulation, but the vibrations are rather weak and buzzy. Personally I find this toy works best for light teasing, but it is just not enough to push me over the edge. It is fairly quiet, I will give it that, you can use this behind closed doors or under thick covers and no one will be able to hear you the toy in use.

Being hard plastic and waterproof the Little Flower is easy to clean and care for. You can wash with warm water and anti-bacterial soap, or your favorite toy cleaner. Be sure to pay extra attention to the ridges formed by the texture pattern, as lube and other liquids can collect there and require a bit more attention to clean out. You could also wipe down the Little Flower with isopropyl alcohol. As plastic is non-porous, you could safely share this toy with a friend or partner after proper cleaning. Also because it is plastic you are free to use any lube you wish. Storage is fairly easy as well since there is no concern about plastic melting onto other toys or reacting badly with other materials, however materials like jelly can still melt onto plastic.

The Little Flower came packaged in a small white and pink box that had a window in the front of it showing off the Little Flower. There is a bit if discrepancy with the name of the toy and the packaging, as 'Little Honey' is the name printed on the box. I would not call the packaging discreet, however it is recyclable so if you don't hold onto it for storage you can always place it in the recycling bin for disposal.

I got the Little Flower as a free gift with purchase, I am always down with trying out new toys so I gladly accepted the gift. It was cute and little and pink, if only it was more powerful it might rate higher for me. I do like to use it like I would a bullet as it is a little bigger than a bullet and easier to keep a hold of. But I have toys that work much better for external stimulation and that I like much better, so sadly the Little Flower doesn't get much use from me.
