Salsa - discreet vibrator by We-vibe - review by xdarkdreamerx

I am fairly new to Eden, but I must say I am becoming quite hooked. I spent a lot of time (I will decline to admit just how much) on the website researching for my next purchase. Here is what I wanted: small, quiet, discreet and most of all---powerful. I also wanted rechargeable because batteries annoy me. There is nothing worse than getting all hot and bothered and ready to play with your vibrator and then discovering the batteries are dead and there are none left in the house. So while I am researching away I discovered this beautiful vibrator and was immediately drawn to it. The Salsa is small, waterproof, rechargeable and super quiet. It was everything that I wanted and more. I watched all of the review videos and even found more on Youtube. Each showed the power of the Salsa and my heart was set. I still researched a few others and compared using Eden's awesome comparison section and still kept going back to the Salsa. I ordered it and could not wait for it's arrival.

Upon arrival I was super excited and wanted to use it right then and there, but of course it needs to be charged for 90 minutes prior to use. So, I mustered up my patience and plugged it in. This is where I noticed a problem. I had read the charging port was a bit sensitive so I was somewhat prepared, but what I ended up dealing with seemed more than just a little sensitivity. I placed the Salsa on a desk with nothing around it and plugged it in. The light came on and I walked away. I came back a little while later and the light was off. I knew it couldn't be finished yet so I adjusted it again and the light came back on. I watched for a little while longer and seeing the light still on, gave it some more time. After a few more moments I came back to check and the light was off again. Hmm. Maybe it was ready. So I powered it up and gave it a try.

Performance: the Salsa's power is pretty nice. I need very strong, steady vibrations and this has it, but honestly it still didn't feel quite as strong as I expected. Then it abruptly stopped working. Obviously it wasn't really fully charged. Disappointed I cleaned it with warm water and soap and wiped it dry and connected it back up to the charger. Something I love about the Salsa is how easy it is to clean. The smooth plastic may not be the most luxurious surface out there, but it doesn't feel bad and clean up is so easy and fast.

So, this time I paid a little more attention to it while it was charging and soon came to realize that no matter how much I adjusted it, the Salsa wouldn't stay charging. Nothing on the table moved or shifted, but the light would go off. I'm not sure if I just happened to get a defected one or if it's really just that sensitive while charging. I tried it several times sitting it several different ways to try to make it work, but it just never got to fully charge.

As much as I really think it could have had potential, the charger on this is really starting to annoy me and I have decided today to return it. I'm honestly really disappointed because I really wanted this vibrator and it met so many of the criteria I had and seemed like it would be a perfect match. Another thing I love about Eden is the great return policy and I'm grateful that I can return this and get back to my research and try something else and hopefully next time I'll find the one that will truly be perfect for me. For those who had no problems with the Salsa---I'm jealous.
