Classic Vibe

The Little Pearls vibrator is an inexpensive, traditional vibe. It's very simple and discreet: no fancy textures or controls, just a straight, smooth vibrator that gets the job done. It's great for vaginal insertion and clitoral stimulation, and it makes an excellent beginner toy. I would NOT recommend this vibe for anal play, as it doesn't have a base and could slip from your hands.

The Little Pearls vibe is made of hard plastic - a nice, safe, nonporous material for an inexpensive toy. Plastic has absolutely no odor or taste, and it's smooth to the touch. Because the Little Pearls isn't textured, it's a good choice for beginners starting to experiment with vibrators, but it might be a little plain for experienced users.

The design of this toy is very simple - a straight, "average" (6" insertable, 1" diameter) sized vibe that works well for beginners and experienced users alike. A vibrator like this should be a staple in all toy boxes, as it's good for any occasion. I've had the Little Pearls for over a year, and it's still a vibe I reach for on a regular basis.

A great bonus with this vibe is that it comes in many choices of beautiful, pearly colors (I have the blue one, but I'd love to get a white one as well).

If you decide to bring this with you while traveling, make sure you remove the batteries first because it can turn on accidentally if it moves around in your bag. However, it is small enough and discreet enough to carry along on a trip.

The controls are fairly straightforward: You turn the dial at the base to increase or decrease the strength of vibrations. This is simple enough to figure out, but a little difficult to control. If you're holding onto the base while using the toy (and you probably are), the vibrations can change when you aren't expecting it, or you might just shut it off completely. This hasn't given me too much trouble, but it does happen on occasion, and it can be frustrating.

In terms of sound, it's fairly quiet for a vibrator when on the lowest settings, but if you turn the vibrations to the max, it can be quite loud.

This toy is made from nonporous, hard plastic, so it's easy enough to care for. You can use soap and water to clean it (although keep in mind that it isn't waterproof, so you have to be a little careful not to get any water inside the toy), or clean with a toy cleaner to wipe it down.

I haven't had to take any particular care for storage, as it's not fragile and has no issues being stored with other toys. It's still in great shape after a year of regular usage.

This toy works well with any kind of lube.
