Butterfly kiss - g-spot rabbit vibrator discontinued by Cal Exotics - review by Tori Rebel

The butterfly kiss is a small sized rabbit-style dual action vibrator. The shaft, head, and butterfly are made of smooth pretty pink jelly material and the thicker part of the shaft toward the base is embossed with hearts – upside down hearts, actually. It has a plastic base with a twist-off cap that allows you to insert two AAA batteries to make it buzz, and at the bottom of the cap, there is a single button that can be pressed to go through the three speeds of vibration the toy offers.

The biggest problem for most people with this toy is that it is made out of jelly. Besides totally throwing off the vibrations of the toy, it’s a tricky material to begin with. It’s very porous and can cause skin irritation in some people. Since it can never be really sanitized, it is not made for sharing whatsoever. Normally people that want to use jelly toys without the risk or to be shared can cover the toy with a condom. Because of how drastically thin the shaft is and the fact that it is a rabbit vibe, covering it with a condom would be very difficult and make the toy pretty much useless. It also, as most jelly toys do, had a slight odor upon receiving it but it has faded with several washings and time.

The first thing I noticed about this toy is that it is on the small side for a rabbit style vibe. The insertable shaft is only about 3-1/2” long, and the shaft itself leading to the teardrop head is about ¾” across. Anyone who has used a jelly toy knows that it’s not particularly firm and this toy being so thin actually makes it jiggle and wave back and forth if you shake the toy a little. And yes, I know this because I shook it and waved it back and forth to see just how flimsy the jelly was (think lightsabre moves). The size and softness of the shaft also made it unable to hit my g-spot because there simply wasn’t enough pressure. If the toy was larger with the same shaped head, I think it would have worked much better.

The other small feature of the toy is how very close the butterfly shaped clit stimulator is to the shaft. There’s really no distance between them, so even for my smaller anatomy, it wasn’t quite able to reach the mark.

Once I turned the toy on, you could see the vibrations in the fluttering of the butterfly wings and the antennae, and they moved so fast they blurred on the 2nd and 3rd speeds. Since the shaft is thin jelly material it also vibrated on the highest speed when it wasn’t being used. When I used the toy, I put a little lube on it since jelly does have a bit of drag against your flesh. I used my go-to water based lube, Maximus, and I would recommend water based lubes with this toy because jelly is a non-standardized material and I’m cautious about any kind of reaction a silicone or oil based lube could have with it. If you have a strong preference toward silicone lubricants, it may work fine with this toy but it’s not a risk I was willing to take with it myself.

I've rated the 'vroom' level a 3 because of the testing I did with it outside of my body. Unfortunately, the vibrations you actually feel with this toy are closer to a 2.

The toy can be cleaned with toy cleaner or warm water and soap, but drying it and storing it can be a pain because it will pick up fuzz from toys, dust from places it’s stored, and cannot be stored next to other jelly toys. Best bet for this one is its own separate container, and its original blister packaging would suffice for those who choose to keep it.

The first time I used the toy, I tried to see if the head and shaft had enough vibration to work well as a clitoral vibe. On all three speeds, my answer is it does not. When I insert this toy, the vibration in the shaft all but disappears, even on the highest vibration level. This is most likely because the vibrating element is in the base of the toy, not the shaft, and because jelly is so easily stilled or stabilized that the inside of my body basically stopped it from moving. Once I got the butterfly portion to a comfortable and pleasurable spot, I turned it on to the lowest speed and I could barely feel it. The little wings and antennae vibrate like crazy when they’re not touching anything but once they’re even SLIGHTLY pressed against skin, the jelly is once again, immobilized. On the second and third speeds, it was more noticeable because the vibrating element in the toy is much closer to the butterfly, but even if it had been placed on my clit, it wouldn’t have been strong enough to do much more than tease me. I never attempted to use this toy with a partner because it was barely effective for solo play, it just didn’t seem worthwhile.

The vibrations aren’t necessarily bad, but the flimsy jelly really holds them back. If someone is new to toys and intimidated by really strong rumbling toys, this may again be a good choice. It really works more as a tease or a warm up for a bigger, better, toy for me.
I took this toy into the shower once, cautiously. The seal on the inside of the battery compartment simply didn’t look thick or trustworthy enough for me to entirely submerge, but it did prove splash proof in the shower. Unfortunately since I choose to only use this toy with water based lube, it wouldn’t be worth me taking it into water on a regular basis.

The small size does however have some advantages in my book, besides it obviously being easy to conceal or travel with. First off, it was very easy to control once inserted. Granted it was simply shaped all wrong to get me off, but it still felt good and since the whole thing is so compact, it wasn’t a stretch to work the button at the bottom. For those who are looking for a first time toy on a budget, or are simply intimidated by large toys, this would be a good choice. The size makes it very easy to take and would work well as a stepping stone to larger toys. It is also fairly quiet and can be disguised under blankets with a closed door so it may work well for those living in a shared apartment or house situation that can’t have a huge toy that rattles through the whole place.
