Tera Patrick's metallic vibe is a traditional, battery-operated vibrator. The speed adjusts as usual with a dial at the bottom. The vibrations are concentrated near the middle of the toy, but are conducted nicely to the tip as well. I've had several like it over the years and they always do what they are supposed to. This particular one has a few extra rewards, though.

It's waterproof. Most of my playtime is in the shower, so any toy that can go there with me gets a lot more of my attention.

It's very pretty. I have the purple but the other colors look great as well. When a toy looks as good as it feels it is more fun to play with. It makes sense that a porn star would put her name on this product line. It's something I would expect to see in an adult movie.

There's something about the metallic sheen that I love. It feels different to me that just plain plastic. It's all still plastic, so it doesn't make sense really. The metallic surface just feels smoother, cooler, and then warmer as it adjusts to my body temperature.

The toy seems substantial. The size is average, as far as sex toys go, but the two C batteries give it a certain extra heft. It doesn't feel like a flimsy plastic thing in my hand or in my pussy.

For a battery-operated toy, the vibrations are fairly strong, if a little loud. It didn't rattle as much as some plastic toys, which was nice, and the power was more than enough to make me cum.

Because the vibrator is plastic, it is very easy to clean. Warm water and soap or an antibacterial wipe is enough to make it ready for the next time or next person, if you are planning to share. [Editor's note: plastic can't be sterilized, so if you are sharing, covering with a condom is recommended.]
