Le Reve Revel

This g-spot vibe works equally well as a clitoral stimulator and could also be used as an all-over body massager. Low-maintenance, modestly-sized, and easy to use, Le Reve makes an ideal vibe for those new to sex toys. The firm plastic and contoured shape suits anyone wanting pressure and/or vibration for g-spot stimulation. It's great for foreplay, masturbation, and unobtrusive enough for use during sex. There is no flared base on this one, making it unsafe for anal play, so keep it out of your bum.

Le Reve is made of nonporous and phthalates-free plastic, a body safe material without any smell or taste. The slick surface glides easily with just a small amount of lube. Such a smooth texture is very easy to keep clean, since it doesn't attract dust and lint. All great reasons why this vibe is an ideal choice for beginners.

I love the elegant design of this vibe. Shaped kind of like a banana and nicely curved to hit the g-spot, it's a great fit for my body and worked very well for me.

The location of the buttons and slightly wider base makes this toy very comfortable to hold while using it. I also really like the modest size, which is probably more suited for beginners or those who prefer smaller toys. It's 7 1/2 inches long, with 5 inches of insertable length. With just a 1 3/8 inch diameter, it has an inviting girth of around 4 1/2 inches.

The toy is easy enough to hide since it's not a realistic-looking phallus. While Le Reve isn't the smallest sex toy on the market, since it only weighs around 6 1/2 ounces and doesn't attract lint, it could easily be tucked away in a suitcase for travel.

The Le Reve massager features four speeds of continuous vibration. There are no patterns or pulse settings, but the vibrations are a nice rumble, not buzzy, and pretty powerful considering this toy only takes two AAA batteries. The user-friendly controls are conveniently located at the base of the vibe, and consist of two buttons. Simply press the + to turn Le Reve on and increase speed, and press the - to go back to the previous speed and turn the vibe off. While the vibe itself isn't very noisy, even at top speed, the buttons do make a rather loud "clicky" sound when pressed. There is also a small red light by the buttons to indicate when the power is on.

Oh, and one quick note about the battery compartment: There is a plastic piece that slides out and holds the batteries. I don't have any other toys with this, so I was rather surprised when I went to insert the batteries and this part fell out. Luckily, it only goes back in one way, so it's easy to figure out.

The great thing about hard plastic toys is that they are low-maintenance and super easy to clean. Simply wash with antibacterial soap and water, use toy cleaner, or wipe down with alcohol. The slick surface doesn't attract dust, pet hair, or lint, so no need for special storage accommodations. Plastic is also compatible with any lube, which is another advantage.

Le Reve comes in a plastic insert inside a black box with a photo of the vibe on all four sides. Depending on the recipient, this packaging could be discreet enough for a gift. There is basic product info on box, but no user manual or any instructions included. The box could certainly be used for storage.

I love this vibrator. It really works well for me. The curve is just right, and I can easily operate the controls without my hand going numb or wrist getting cramped. While I would like to have some pulse settings or varying vibration patterns, Le Reve does the job for me more than satisfactorily.

Having used my Le Reve during solo play, foreplay, and several positions of partner play and intercourse, I feel like I really put it to the test, and it passed with flying colors. I love how the toy requires hardly any lube and easily glides on contact with no surface drag. This makes switching from clitoral to g-spot stimulation very easy. The firm, unyielding plastic is great for applying g-spot pressure, and the slight curve makes reaching it easy. While I also enjoy playing with squishy, textured surfaces, slick plastic has the advantage of not attracting every little piece of lint within a 30 foot radius.
