I've been on the hunt for the perfect rotating beaded rabbit for a while now. Unfortunately, it seems like the majority of rabbits with these features are made from TPR, and I vastly prefer silicone. I have a couple TPR beaded rabbits (the Angel Bunny and the Lilac G, both of which I got as free promotional items), and while I really like the rotating shaft and beads, I've never cared for the rubbery, high-drag feel of TPR, so they haven't seen a whole lot of use. When I saw that Eden was now offering a silicone toy with these features, I jumped at the chance to try it!

The Black Pearl arrived early with several other assignments in Eden's usual nondescript brown shipping box. The sender is listed as the intentionally vague "Web Merchants Inc," so those with privacy concerns can rest easy that nosy neighbours or housemates won't know what's inside your package. Inside this box and nestled in brown shipping paper, the Black Pearl was packaged in a simple sealed plastic bag, along with a USB charging cable and a black mesh drawstring pouch for storage. I appreciated Eden's lack of bulky, wasteful packaging, but if you intend to give this toy as a gift, you'll have to find your own box. There were no instructions, but the toy is easy to figure out, so instructions weren't necessary.

The first thing I noticed about the Black Pearl was its size. This sucker is LONG, especially by rabbit standards. Most rabbits seem to have an insertable length between 3-5 inches, but the Black Pearl gives you a full 6 1/2 inches of insertable length to work with. If you've ever found yourself wishing that your rabbit could reach a little deeper, the Black Pearl was designed with you in mind! Its circumference is about average by rabbit standards, at about 4 1/2 inches. Its long, slender, torpedo-shaped black body with a subtle upturn at the head and two small ridges give this toy a very sleek, sexy, modern look that I found extremely appealing. The silicone covering it is extremely soft and smooth and produced very little drag as I ran my fingers over it. I could see the beads very faintly beneath their thin silicone skin. The material covering the beads feels much thinner than on my TPR rabbits, and I could feel the beads much more. I assume that because silicone is a stronger and more durable material than TPR, that allows the material covering the beads to be thinner, which makes the beads much more stimulating. The Black Pearl also features a rabbit-shaped clitoral stimulator that is very flexible and hugs the shaft closely. It has soft, flexible ears positioned at a slightly downward angle, which I thought boded well for fitting my particular anatomy.

Next, I turned my attention to the toy's functions. The Black Pearl has three buttons. The top button is the power button and turns the toy on and off with a simple push (no need to hold it down). The middle button controls the shaft and bead rotation, and gives you four settings to choose from. It has steady rotating of both the beads and shaft in both directions, and then it has two additional settings that change the direction of rotation at different intervals (one setting changes direction back and forth rather quickly, while the other changes direction more slowly). There are no vibrations in the shaft, just rotating of the shaft and beads. The bottom button controls the vibrations in the clit bunny. It has three intensities of steady vibration, plus several patterns. The vibrations seemed to have decent (though not knock-your-socks-off) power and are more buzzy than rumbly. Both the shaft and clit bunny are activated with a simple push of the necessary button, and you can turn off either function (without turning off the whole toy) by holding down the necessary button for a couple seconds.

All in all, I was very pleased with the Black Pearl thus far, and was excited to take it for a spin!

In preparation for our first date, I first plugged in the Black Pearl to ensure it was fully charged, then took it off to the bathroom sink for a quick wash. As this toy is waterproof and covered in silicone, it's very easy to clean and care for. Silicone rates a 10/10 on Eden's safety scale. It's hypoallergenic and free from latex and phthalates. It's also non-porous, so it won't harbour any nasty bacteria or body fluids. Like all silicone toys, the Black Pearl should be washed with either toy cleaner or mild soap and rinsed with clean, warm water. Because it contains electrical components, you cannot boil the Black Pearl or put it through the dishwasher, as the extreme heat would destroy its electronics. However, if you feel the need to sterilise this toy (like if sharing between partners or orifices), you can wash it with either a 5-10% bleach solution or rubbing alcohol (just be sure to rinse thoroughly). With silicone toys, you're also going to want to stick to using water-based lubricants (silicone and oil-based products can degrade silicone toys), and to try to avoid letting silicone toys come into prolonged contact with other sex toys, as sometimes the materials can have strange chemical reactions to one another (staining, fusing, melting, etc.). Just put the Black Pearl into its included storage pouch before tossing it back in your toy box!

Once my new toy was charged and clean, I took it back to my bedroom to try it out! I started out with my usual ritual of putting down a towel on my bed and pulling up a sexy story on my phone. I started out by using my new Pave Grace clitoral vibrator (review coming soon!) to tease my clit and other external ladybits while I read. After a few minutes, I felt myself becoming very wet and aroused, and decided it was time to test out the Black Pearl. I applied a bit of my favourite water-based lube to the toy and slowly slid its long shaft into my vagina. It went in smoothly and comfortably, and actually felt quite lovely before I even turned it on! First I activated the vibrations in the clit bunny and was pleased to find that it fit me beautifully and instantly hit just the right spot. Next, I turned on the rotating shaft and beads, and oh my! It felt absolutely *amazing*!! I could feel the beads so much more strongly on the Black Pearl than with either of my TPR beaded rabbits. They were in the perfect spot to massage my G-spot, while the long-reaching head of the toy rotated and massaged the deeper portions of my vaginal canal and the clit bunny caressed and buzzed my clitoris. It was a lot of stimulation all at once, and it felt absolutely heavenly! I experimented a bit with the settings and ultimately settled on a quickly-pulsating pattern on the clit bunny. Somewhat to my surprise, I found that I really enjoyed the rotation mode that switched rotation directions rather quickly, though as I neared my climax, I found the steady counter-clockwise rotation to feel the most satisfying. Eventually, the Black Pearl pulled me over the edge into a thigh-shaking orgasm, and I found myself having to clamp a hand over my mouth so as to avoid alerting my housemate to my success with my new toy, haha.

I thoroughly enjoyed my first date with the Black Pearl. It was everything I'd hoped for and more. I felt like I was finally starting to understand the hype surrounding beaded rotating rabbits. THIS is what they're supposed to feel like!

I've been continuing to absolutely love this toy. In fact, I think I'm becoming a little addicted to it. During the day, I find myself counting down the hours and minutes until I can retreat to my bedroom for the evening and enjoy some time with my Black Pearl. It just feels so damn good! I am finding that it's a bit more of a "slow burn" than some of my other toys. It doesn't get me off especially quickly, but it's well worth the extra time expended. It's an extremely pleasurable ride and I love every second of feeling the shaft and beads move and spin inside me while the clit bunny works me from the outside. And when the Black Pearl finally does push me over the edge, the orgasms are mind-blowing!

Although the product page touts this toy as being "beginner-friendly," I'm not sure I entirely agree. While the circumference shouldn't present any issue for a novice, I feel like the long length could present a little bit of a challenge for an absolute beginner, and would recommend something a little shorter as a first toy or first rabbit. I've found that it's helpful for me if I warm up with a smaller/shorter vaginal toy for a bit first, just to ensure that my vagina is in a fully aroused state before trying to insert the Black Pearl to its hilt. If I try to insert it before I'm fully aroused, I've found that I sometimes have trouble inserting it deep enough for the clit bunny to reach my clitoris. That said, I personally LOVE the length, and love the way it simultaneously stimulates both my G-spot and the deeper parts of my vagina.

The only part of this toy that actually vibrates is the clit bunny, so that's a 3. I'm marking the entire shaft as a 2, because even though it doesn't vibrate, the rotating beads and shaft provide a great deal of stimulation. Virtually no vibration can be felt in the handle.

The orgasms I have with this toy are incredibly intense and long-lasting! I'd probably rate them 8-10/10, so yeah, this toy gives me awesome orgasms.
