Doc Johnson's Blu Toys Prince is a simple, but thoroughly detailed and effective realistic vibrator.

At first glance, it is exactly as advertised. It's a nice shade of pale icy blue. The realistic detailing including head, skin folds, and veins are neither over or understated. It is a made of a smooth opaque rubber and is right on that line between too hard to be comfortable and too soft to be effective. It is about 6.5" tall including the battery cap and base, which is smaller than some toys but again they seemed to have achieved a great level of realism here. Just the look and feel of this toy was enough to begin to turn me on.

The toy takes 2 AAA batteries which are inserted side by side in the screw-off base. The control dial for this multi-speed toy is on the bottom of the battery cap like many vibrators, and is easy to control and adjust in any position. The toy has a slight odor at first like many rubber toys but I'm sure it will wear off over time. It had no particular flavor to it which is nice for those who are turned on by the simulation of performing oral sex.

Since the Prince is made of rubber, I chose to use it with a water-based lubricant. I used the toy to stimulate my nipples and the area around my vagina and was very pleased with the 'just right' level of vibration it provided. I've also used this toy several times to stimulate my clitoris, with both the head and shaft of the toy, and found it quite pleasurable although there isn't quite enough vibration to make me orgasm right away like some toys. The vibration, even on its highest position, is never all that powerful. However if I give it enough time, it does get me off from clitoral stimulation.

When using this toy for penetration, it's amazing how well I could feel each detail on the toy, making it one of my new favorites to use that way. The soft silken rubber isn't super soft like some of the jelly rubber dildos and other toys like that but is still soft enough to be comfortable when inserted. The toy has a slight curve to it but easily fits inside of me with no resistance and still allows me to move my body or the toy if desired without being uncomfortable at all. This is by far what I think this toy is best suited for and I would honestly be pleased with it for penetration even without the vibration. When the soft realistic shape is paired with the vibration of the toy, it makes for a truly pleasurable, orgasmic experience.

The toy is also waterproof and the seal at the battery cap is strong and definitely watertight. It is also on the quiet side so it could most likely be used discreetly in a shower or bath as long as the door of the room is closed. I've tried using it under the covers of my bed and it's still audible but if the door were closed or with a stereo turned on low it could easily go unnoticed.

This toy has worked great for me to use on myself from light foreplay to repeated penetration. I think it would make an excellent toy for a beginner or a couple that doesn't want anything too dramatic or intimidating and is looking for a familiar shape and size. It is not a toy for getting yourself off quickly but if you're looking to relax, to tease yourself a bit before getting more intense, or just willing to put a little extra time into your experience, this toy is well worth it. The price is also more than reasonable for the quality and effectiveness.

Since it is made of rubber, this toy cleans easily with warm water and antibacterial soap and dried with a paper towel. Since it is made of rubber instead of a hard plastic, I keep this toy separate from others in a small satin drawstring bag.

I will most likely always use this toy with some kind of lubricant, as it is made of rubber it does not glide across skin as smoothly as some hard plastic toys do. However, once a small amount of lubricant is applied this toy will move against your skin nearly as easily as...well, other skin!

Still having a great time with this one! It doesn't seem to be going through batteries too quickly, and like with most toys, the more comfortable I am using it, the better it gets!
