The Essence for Couples is a waterproof, curved for your g-spot, vibrator. I purchased this toy for a solo toy (to be used for my own masturbation purposes). Not quite sure why they added the "for Couples" thing into the title. Nonetheless, I found this toy to work pretty well.

My beef with this toy is that its pretty chincy and can be a tad loud. The plastic is very light weight and the battery compartment seems to never light up right, so I have an issue with putting it back together in a "ease less" fashion. Because of the light weight material, it tends to rattle a little louder than most. Other than these issues, I didn't find anything else wrong or dissatisfying with the toy.

I love that this toy has the bulk of it at the top, the vibrations reach pretty well to my g spot. Because this toy is waterproof, I was able to use it in the tub/shower and anywhere else water may be present. I haven't tried it yet, but I'm sure a nice night at the hot tubs would prove to be a worthy visit if traveling with this compact vibrator companion.

I did notice that it has a decent amount of power behind it. Its not knock your socks off kind of power, but it will get the job done. Again, I have to mention the noise level. Because it being a lighter weight plastic, it can seem to rattle a little louder than I would have liked. Then again, if you're using it under water, you probably won't mind!

It has a rather smooth feel down the "shaft" of the toy, with a small section at the tip that is made of a TPR silicone material. This feels pretty nice if you would like to use it on your clitoris for added stimulation, then insert for a nice rub on the G Spot! It does have some small, low rise nubbies for added pleasure on that small tip section too. They were smooth and quite nice on my overly sensitive clitoris.

This toy is hypo allergenic and latex free. So for those of you that have allergies, this would be a safe toy for you to use. It takes 1 AA battery, so it is pretty low maintenance and won't break the bank on batteries. The Essence for Couples vibrator is roughly 6 inches in length with 2 3/4 inches insertable. I suppose that you COULD insert more of it, but depending on where your G spot is located, you may overshoot your "desired area". This vibrator also has a ridged "handle" area on the lower end of it for easy grip and less slip!

LUBRICANTS: Water based only is what is recommended for this toy.
CLEANING CARE: Make sure to wash with hot water and mild soap. Also remember to use an antibacterial spray (as recommended with any toy). Pretty easy clean up. The only areas that would really be of any concern is the ridges, make sure you thoroughly clean that area.

This toy may also be used as a general "all over" body massager. Because of the design, it would grace the shoulders and back areas very nicely.

I would have to give this toy a 4 star for overall pleasure and value.

Used this toy for a massager last night. I took a slip off a 3 inch ice ledge on my front porch the other day. I messed up my knees and wrists pretty bad. I used this toy and a dab of massage oil to work out some of the kinks in my shoulders and it worked great. I love when I have items that have multi purposes!
