Mini-Marvel...Fact or Myth?

The Mini-marvel is a whisper quiet, super-soft vibrating, ergonomic.....myth. There was a lot of time and effort into the design of this vibrator and not enough time and effort into the motor. I love the tips, the screw on design is ingenious. I love the size and lack of noise. I hate the lack of vibrations. Is there a reason California Exotic can be found at a local drugstore chain? Yes...

Use

This is not a sexual toy. Intermediate to advanced users will not be happy using this as a teaser or vibrator and beginning users will be so frustrated at the lack of sexual gratification that it could deter them from using better sexual products.

It is, however, a great massage aid when it is used with a nice, thick, heavy massage oil and is wonderful when targeting stiff and aching muscles. I purchased mine a Wal-Greens and was too excited to find a California Exotics product locally.

The quality of the product is good and the design for the tips and just that they screw on, not slip on is very commendable. The motor is inferior and produces very low vibrations. It also dies within a short amount of time after using this product.

Material / Texture

The body of this massager is made of very hard plastic. It has a large, flat metal tip and two other heads that also have metal accents. There was no odor or taste and the shape is very pleasant for gripping.

The flat metal tip, single metal balled tip and triple balled tip added a great texture for use during a massage. They did stimulate different muscles and areas. I was unable to get much sexual satisfaction using these due to lack of vibration power, but did enjoy the feelings during a massage.

    • No odor
    • Not porous at all

Design / Shape / Size

I love the design! The screw on tops are an amazing idea, the large flat tip could have been a superb feeling and the single ball in the tip would be a heck of a clitoral stimulant. I also loved the quietness of the motor, no one can hear you now! The size was perfect for travel and has enough of a different shape for a vibrator that it would have taken someone awhile to figure it out.

It would have been a great item for everyone if the motor was more powerful. Or if it would last longer. The mini-marvel was a marvel in the tub and is worth purchasing just for the tub massages.
    • Ergonomic
    • Tub massages
    • Whimsical / artistic

Functions / Performance / Controls

The vibrations are located just behind the tip, which is great for transference through the tip and different heads. Unfortunately the vibrations are weak and was only good for massages and underwater massages.

This toy is whisper quiet. Probably due to the lack of vibrations and loss of power during use. I felt it ate up the batteries a bit quicker than was warranted by the low vibrations. To access the batteries, you twist the base off, install one of the small N batteries (you do get two with the product), and screw the base back on. To utilize the three powers of vibration, just push the button on the bottom of the base.
    • Battery guzzler
    • Discreet sound
    • Easy to use

Care and Maintenance

The Waterproof Mini-marvel is amazingly easy to clean. Wash with soap and water, rinse and dry thoroughly. I use a toothbrush for the areas around the metal and seams. I use water based lubes when I tried this for sexual stimulation. I do use oil based massage oils and the clean up is a bit more sudsy, but still pretty simple. I also go back over it with a toy cleaner for disinfecting.

I loved under water massages!! They feel so amazing with the hot water, vibrations and aromatherapy oils in the tub. Talk about pre-sexual relaxation!! If I ever buy another one of these, tub massages will be the primary use. It does take two people to really get this massage right but it is ohhhh, so worth it.
    • Easy to clean
    • Easy to store
Follow-up commentary
My Mini-marvel is dead and I did not like it enough to purchase another one. I am keeping the two extra tips to use on other vibrators. I am going to have some work to do since these were screw on, but think I might have a good idea. I will let you know with an update on the forums if I get it worked out. Sorry this vibrator wasn't for me, but it sure did feel good for massages.
