The Pearl Passion Tease is my favorite vibrator. It is definitely great for beginners. It's not too large or too small. I was slightly worried that it would be too small, but the curved tip made me forget about that. The tip is very nice for clitoral stimulation, but it is especially perfect for g spot stimulation.

Use the Pearl Passion Tease alone or with a partner, but it is certainly stimulating either way!

The Pearl Passion Tease is made of plastic and TPR. It can be used with silicone and water based lubes. It has a bit of a plastic scent when first opened, but that faded very quickly for me. It's pretty firm, but it also has a bit of a gel-like texture. Speaking of texture - I'm not a huge fan of very pronounced texture, but prefer it subtle, which was great for me since the Pearl Passion has slightly raised ribs.

The shape of the Pearl Passion is one of the best parts for me - big enough to be pleased, not big enough to be painful. Insertable it is 4 1/4 inches. I really, really liked the design and shape - the curve at the tip makes it all worth it. Again, the size is very good for beginners.

It's obviously easily recognizable as a vibrator - keep that in mind. However, it isn't a realistic vibe and that's a positive for me!

The vibrations are activated by one white button at the end of the Pearl Passion. There are two speeds - the first is intense enough for me, so I almost never use the higher second speed. You click it twice to get to the high speed and then once again to turn it off. The button is really nice because it's not easy to bump it and accidentally turn it off or on. It's easy to use, not that noisy, but definitely buzzy. I'd say if you're worried about it being heard from another room, just turn some music on and that should do the trick. If it's on the higher setting, that might be more difficult though.

It is not rechargeable and does require one AA battery. The end of the vibrator fits on tightly over the battery, which works very well in water.

I wash the Pearl Passion with soap and water. It is very easy to clean, and waterproof, so no worries. It does attract hair and lint, so if you're not going to keep it in the plastic it came in, it would be useful to keep it somewhere cool and clean. I got the free toy cleaners from Eden with this product and they work fantastically on the Pearl Passion.

The package for the Pearl Passion is plastic shaped around the vibrator. Inside are directions for battery insertion, shows that it is waterproof, and tells you about the Passion itself, including info about plastic/TPR. The rest is pretty self explanatory. I don't use the plastic for storage, but it wouldn't make a bad place!

This vibe has very powerful vibrations, so if you're looking for intense, I would recommend this. If you want something that's not too small and not too big, the Pearl Passion is the way to go. It's also a very reasonable price, it feels like it should have been more expensive! I simply love this vibe.
