Butterfly Crap

The Butterfly Kiss from California Exotics is a dual-stimulation vibe. The clitoral part has 2 vibrating antennae at the top and narrow wings on each side. The shaft has a ball on the end that is meant to hit your G-spot. I find this doesn’t work well as a rabbit vibrator because the shaft doesn’t carry the vibrations well and the wings and antennae don’t flutter very well once they are pressed up against you. It is also not a great G-spot toy because the vibrations diminish significantly towards the tip of the shaft. I think it would be more fitting to have this in the discreet category. I wouldn’t use this anally because the material is very porous and most condoms will slip off due to the funny shape of this toy.

This is made of jelly, which is known to hold on to bacteria for a long time, no matter how carefully you try to clean it. The material is very smooth along the shaft. On the clitoral stimulator, there are small raised lines that run from wing to wing, and lube and other fluids can easily get trapped here. Even though the shaft is rather small, lube will be good to have because there is a lot of drag. Silicone or water-based lubes will work fine with this toy.

Around the base of the toy near the battery compartment are some raised heart-shaped bumps that allow for a better grip. The surface of this toy is also very sticky, so make sure to store it where pet hair and other loose particles won’t stick to it. I was disappointed to find that there is no inner piece to help carry the vibrations to the tip of the shaft, but this, in turn, makes it very flexible and quite flimsy. The shaft is also very bendable, and I can stretch it up to 10 inches. It is fun to wiggle around but is not so great in use.

It is rather small in size. The insertable end is about 3 1/2" long, and the bulb on the head is about 3/4" in diameter, which makes this easy to insert. If you have a shallow G-spot, you may feel it, but just don’t expect much stimulation. The clitoral piece is only an inch high, so it may not fit your anatomy to reach the clitoris. The entire toy is 7 inches long, so you can easily store it wherever you like.

The Butterfly Kiss is operated by 2 AAA batteries. The battery compartment has a twist-off cap, and the batteries go in with one pointy side first and the other pointy side down. A push button at the base allows you to go through the different vibration intensities. The first push is low, then medium, then high, and then back to off. There is a slight pause between each of the vibration modes. The button requires some effort to press, but it won’t easily be pushed accidentally while in use.

The Butterfly Kiss can simply be cleaned with soap and warm water. However, because it is made of jelly, it cannot be sanitized. This toy should be kept away from other toys and out of direct sunlight because it can react with other materials and melt. Find another place to keep your batteries when this toy is not in use so they don’t drain out or begin to corrode.

This will probably be the last jelly toy I’ll ever buy. The butterfly design was a neat idea but didn’t work well for me at all. The ball tip of the shaft feels strange to insert. I got this thinking it would be a nice dual-stimulation vibe, but that simply wasn’t the case. I give it 2 stars for the unique design.

I also don’t like how quickly it eats through batteries. I can only get 2 to 3 uses out of it before having to switch to new ones. The particular one I got didn’t survive a sink test. Other people have managed to use this in the tub, but the one I got doesn’t have an air-tight seam around the battery compartment, and a little bit of water seeped in. I don’t recommend this to anyone; instead, go for the Platinum Butterfly Kiss.
