Sparkle vibes - traditional vibrator by Cal Exotics - review by Genderfree

This is a very simple vibrator that could make a great gift to an open-minded friend or to a new sex-toy user. A toy like this one I could imagine seeing at a sex shop for quite cheap.

This vibrator can be used for nipple, vaginal, or clitoral stimulation. For me, I enjoyed using it vaginally or on my clitoris. You can use it solo, or with a partner.

This toy can not be used underwater.

This toy is a hard, smooth plastic with glitter inside of the plastic. Plastic receives an 8 on Eden's material safety scale, making it more safe than a rubber or jelly toy. It is hypo-allergenic and does not contain latex. It does not have any sort of smell or taste. It is translucent and you can see the motor inside.

It is shaped like a rocket or a large bullet. It is about 5 inches long and 3/4 inch wide.

I do not like the speed control knob design on the toy. It doesn't have a true gradient and the knob is too easy to turn on accident.

This toy is discreet and is small enough to be hidden inside of a small pencil case or makeup bag. However, if anyone saw it, they would probably be able to ascertain its use. If the batteries are taken out of the toy, it is quite lightweight.

This toy is not designed for anal insertion because it has no flared base, but can be used anywhere else on your body.

The vibrations go from a very low buzz to a higher rumble. However, it is not very strong in my opinion. Most of the vibrations focus at the very tip of the toy.

When you turn the dial, the vibrations are supposed to get stronger, however, there seems to be a point in the dial where the vibrations seem to get weaker until it gets to the strongest setting. That way, it really only feels like it has a few different vibration settings, even though its a dial. The dial often gets turned on or off on accident when I am using this toy, especially when I am fumbling with other dildos/vibrators/etc.

Wash with soap and water. Do not submerge. Plastic is easy to take care of because it is not very porous and can be used with most toy wipes. However, it will keep some odors over time. It can be used with water-based or silicone-based lubricants.

Since this is made of a slightly porous material, I would suggest not sharing this toy with a partner unless you are using a condom.

When storing this toy, you might want to take the battery out so that it does not drain what batteries you do have.

It came with very minimal, indiscreet packaging. It's a simple package with a girl in a blue shirt looking too happy, like that girl in that Trojan Twister commercial. It has very minimal information. There is a molded plastic cover that goes over the package, which is not shown. It's sealed on the edges in such a way that it is hard to open without having a switchblade or scissors on hand. Of course, I did not have either, so I resorted to a pair of keys.

This is a great beginners toy. I enjoy using it as a general vibrator because I enjoy the feel of the vibrations. They're not to buzzy, and strong enough to get me off. Sometimes, I'll insert this toy into my vagina while stimulating my clitoris with another vibrator.

This toy is very enjoyable to use. I'd suggest it to anyone who wants a toy that will get them fun for their money. Its simplicity is definitely a plus for this toy.
