This vibrator is best for those looking for slow and gentle stimulation. May be good for foreplay. The vibrations are very dull and the clitoral stimulator is weak. The tail shape is also very ineffective for stimulation. The pulsing and escalating of the shaft is subtle. The remote function is nice for couples but pretty useless for solo-play. I originally bought the vibrator for the remote function but during play, the controls at the base were used more frequently. It is generally quiet until the rotating function is turned on-- the rotating beads grind loudly.

The material is smooth and pretty easy to clean. I did like that it was not ridged as many of my toys would track dust, making them hard to clean. There was no particular smell when it came out of the packaging-- only the general rubbery smell you could expect from any toy fresh out of the box.

The design was a bit strange. It's large enough if you like girth, but it fails to really hit any spots. It's a tad too big for beginners and may be best for advanced users used to the feeling of fullness from vibrators.

The dolphin has a bullet in the clitoral vibrator and (I think) a motor in the shaft. The shaft boasts rotating, escalating and pulsating. The pulsating is not particularly noteworthy and only the rotating merits any mention. The rotating beads were pleasant at the entrance but not enough to garner an orgasm. The clitoral stimulator is very weak. It might be because the tail-shape fails to direct any vibration to the clit but I found myself pressing it down to no avail. Even at the maximum power, it failed to deliver.

Since the toy is smooth, it's relatively easy to care for. A little soap and water will do the trick.
