I love this vibrator. It's almost guaranteed to give me an orgasm due to the dual stimulation of my g-spot and clit. When I first opened the box, I must admit that even though I had used several vibrators before, I was a little intimidated by the size, so while it hasn't been hard for me to use, I might not recommend it for complete novices, simply because I wouldn't want anyone getting scared off! Most often, I've used this more for self gratification than with my partner, but the few times he has used it on me..... The orgasms kept cumming!

The Serenity is made out of TPR Silicone, which I love because I've had some rather unpleasant reactions to other vibes in the past. I mentioned being a little intimidated by the size, but once I actually pulled it out of the box, I realized that it's rather squishy, so getting it in wasn't difficult at all! Don't think that squishy equals bad though! I like that it's a little flexible, because it fills me in ways other vibes simply don't.

As I've said before, I wouldn't recommend this for a first toy, because while I think most people could handle it, it could be a little intimidating! As a second or third though? Definitely. Once you have an idea of what you like/can handle this is an excellent choice. I prefer my toys a little on the larger end however, so if you don't like a little girth, it's probably something to avoid. The only way this toy could be more obviously a vibrator is if it has "VIBRATOR" stamped on the side. I would only take this with me if it were well tucked away, and I were going somewhere I knew family wouldn't be able to dig. I also found the clit stimulator reminded me a lot of a thumb, at least in appearance, which doesn't bother me at all, but I found it quite amusing.

She has two bullets, one in the shaft, and the second in the clitoral stimulator, which gives the best of both worlds. The vibrations aren't too weak, but they certainly aren't overpowering, although I personally would start the multi speeds at the second of the three settings, and have two more, but that's far from needed! My biggest complaint about the controls is the location. They're very easy to get to and use, as it's a simple push button on the bottom of the handle, but this also makes it very easy to turn up the vibrations, or worse, turn them off entirely! Having had this happen more times then I can count, I would like to see them moved somewhere slightly harder to hit during a session. I love having this toy take showers with me! I haven't had a bath or pool to try it in, but it's worked amazingly well in the shower! This toy can probably get a little on the louder end, but nothing terrible. I would guess if there's a door closed, and any ambient noise such as a quiet fan it wouldn't be noticeable.

The small ripples on the surface aren't so large that anything really gets stuck in it, though I do make a point to clean them out well, because water alone doesn't always get the leftovers, but since it's waterproof it's easy to clean! Simply wash with a bit of your favorite soap and you're done! I wouldn't use a super fuzzy towel to dry it though, as the TPR tends to hold on to any loose fuzz, so you would probably want to check it again before its second use.

I was so surprised when I opened the cardboard shipping box to find a surprisingly sturdy metal box! I was sure I had the wrong package until I pulled it out and was greeted by the sight of a clear window giving me a glimpse of my new purple friend. It's been housed in it ever since!
