From the moment I opened the package, this toy had me smiling. I love absolutely everything about this vibrator, except for the actual vibrations. Unfortunately, my partner couldn't climax with the pulsing vibrations, but she's a tough nut to crack. For most women, this toy is quiet, intense, and will have you shaking with orgasm after orgasm. I'd recommend this toy to anyone but my girlfriend!

Pros
Cordless, Rechargeable. Very quiet, very powerful. Luxurious toy in all aspects.
Cons
Controls are a little touchy. We couldn't climax with the toy.
The Extase Liberte is a small, discreet clitoral vibrator which offers a feel of luxury. The splashproof design makes it perfect for any bedroom occasion, but not for the shower or pool (splashproof, not waterproof). It fits perfectly in your hand, and the multi-speed options offer a variety of ways to get you off.
The cordless, rechargeable design means no batteries needed! A quick 2-hour charge will give you 6 hours of discreet and powerful vibrations.
When finished, the product stores easily in the included pouch, or back into the luxurious packaging. Everything about this product, from the moment you open the box to the moment you get off will scream 'luxury.'
The vibrator is made of food-grade Plastic, which means you are able to use all types of lubricants. The plastic is rounded and smooth, with no seams to catch or scratch sensitive areas.
While non-porous, you cannot sterilize this product by boiling in water like you can with silicone. Use a mild soap and water combo, or an anti-bacterial toy cleaner. Remember when cleaning, this toy is splashproof, but not waterproof. Be careful around the control buttons and the recharging port (if closed properly, this should be sealed shut).
The plastic is smooth, odorless and tasteless. It will not retain odors like some materials, so with the proper care, this toy will last a long long time.
This is one of the smaller vibrators I own, and I am very impressed with the power-to-size ratio. Specs for this toy are as follows:
Length: 4"
Diameter: 1 1/8"
Weight: 17.5 oz
The vibrator is slightly longer and thicker than my middle finger, and fits easily in the palm of my hand. The toy's ergonomic design contours around the clitoral area very comfortably, and is easily held by you or your partner without any discomfort.
This category is where the only flaws of this toy come out. The controls are a little touchy, and like to change patterns on you at the slightest touch.
The controls are simple: Hold the button to turn on/off, and press either button to cycle through the different patterns. The small top section is the 'up' button, and the larger bulge is the 'down' button. There are 7 functions to cycle through:
1 - Light-intensity vibrations with a light, fast pulse (RrRrRrRrRrRrRr)
2 - Medium-intensity vibrations with a light, fast pulse
3 - Strong-intensity vibrations with a light, fast pulse
4 - Strong vibrations with a 'BZ BZZZZ' pulse
5 - Similar to 4, with a 'BZ BZ BZZZZ' pulse
6 - Medium to strong vibrations with a 'RrRrRrBZZZ RrRrRrBZZZ' pulse
7 - A slow escalation, starting from a medium vibration and 'Rr Rr Rr' choppy pulse, growing and growing into a strong, steady vibration (~10 seconds to cycle from start to finish)
One major con to this toy is the lack of a steady vibration. Every function has a pulse feel to it, which my partner found too distracting to climax. She enjoyed the feeling of all functions, but none enough to actually reach orgasm. After 20 minutes of frustration (close, but not over the top) she finally asked for her "Good ol' $10 pocket rocket" to finish her off.
After multiple attempts, we have yet to reach orgasm with this vibrator.
Care and maintenance for this toy is extremely easy. The non-porous plastic allows you to use an anti-bacterial toy cleaner or soap & water, which means quick and simple cleanup.
When not in use, the toy comes with a satin-lined pouch for storage. The pouch is large enough for the toy, but not for the charger (minor drawback).
2 hours of charging gives you 5-6 hours of vibe-time, so you will not need to charge this product very often. The charger is designed to not only plug into the wall, but also to your computer/laptop/auto via USB port.
NOTE: The instruction manual warns against leaving this toy on its charger for longer than 24 hours. Charge it only when needed, and never leave it charging for extended period of time.
The packaging for this product is amazing. Even though the box came with a satin pouch for storage, I think I'm going to keep the toy in its box.
Included in the box is the toy, the storage pouch, a charger (wall plug or USB charging) and instruction manual. Since the pouch is only designed for the toy, I'm going to keep everything in the box so it's all together. I'll only be using the pouch when traveling (assuming I won't need to recharge the toy when on the road).
This is a 5-star vibrator, but I can only give it 4 stars due to the lack of orgasm. The entire point of a vibrator is to get you off, and this toy just can't get it done.
The controls are a little touchy, but this can be overlooked. The lack of an orgasm cannot. As much as I want to call this a perfect toy, the slow/medium/high functions should be a steady vibe and not a pulsing vibe.
Follow-up commentaryI've started to like it more3 months after original review
The original problem was climax, but every obstacle can be overcome!
The toy by itself can't get my girl off, because of the pulsating vibrations. She likes a strong, steady vibe. However, sex + toy = mind-blowing orgasm.
The Liberte is now in our regular rotation, but as a sex-only toy.
