Velvet touch vibrator - traditional vibrator discontinued by Doc Johnson - review by Princessfi

This is definitely an "all-user" vibrator. I believe it would make a great beginner or first vibrator for someone who isn't comfortable using toys, but it would also be pretty pleasurable to a vibrator connoisseur. I personally find it most enjoyable to use it with another toy, like a pocket rocket or another vibrator for clitoral stimulation. It can also be used for clitoral stimulation alone, or even with a partner, which would make for extra pleasurable sensations. It could be used for all over body stimulation, but it is best for vaginal and clitoral play. I really liked the way it hit my shallow G-spot firmly. It was enough to really stimulate it. I think it would be best for individuals with shallow G-spots.
I do not feel that this toy is flexible enough for comfortable anal play, at least for beginners. It would seem very uncomfortable to use as an anal toy. It could also be great for foreplay, in order to get you or your partner excited for sex, or even using it on the clit during oral sex. The slick, smooth material makes it easy and fun to slide around your slick lady parts and nipples. The tip of the toy is perfect for direct, strong vibrations against your clit for a good, strong clitoral orgasm.

The material is PU coated plastic and is unfortunately slightly odorous and tastes funny, so it doesn't exactly allow you to comfortably lick or suck on it. Fortunately, the smell is not so noticeable if you were playing with it on your nipples or lady parts. I really enjoyed the slick, smooth feel of the material and the way it slid inside me with ease as well as against my wet labia and clit. It is slightly velvety, with no particular texture. What I noticed and enjoyed most was the general smoothness to it, both for internal play and external. There are no noticeable ridges or seams on the toy to rub up against you, which I also liked. Since I keep it in a fabric bag, I was happy to see that the material did not collect any of the "hairs" or particles of the fabric. The few times that I did not place it in the bag, it stayed clean of hairs and lint.
The toy is quite rigid despite its outer soft and smooth feel. It does not have much, if any, give to it. It still maintains somewhat of a realistic feel. I use KY jelly or a comparative type of lube, and it gave the toy just a bit of extra slickness for easier play.

I absolutely love the design and the shape. Although firm and not flexible, I enjoyed the way my body melded around its shape and the way the firmness felt against my clit as well. The size is perfect for me. I struggle to fit large toys inside myself. I find that the smaller tip is great for direct contact for clitoral orgasms. Advanced and beginner users will find the size and shape to be quite pleasurable and not daunting or intimidating. The tip makes for great pressure on a shallow G-spot, whether the vibrations are turned on or off. For myself personally, I need a lot of pressure for clitoral and G-spot orgasms. This toy gave me both even when not on the highest setting. (Important for me!) The tip was incredibly smooth inside me and against my clitoris, leaving me very happy with the overall shape and design.
The toy would easily slip under a pillow or in a drawer, making it discreet and easy to travel with. This is nice if you have a concern about hiding your toys.

I fell absolutely in love with the controls and functions of the toy. The all over vibrations controlled by the twisting cap of the toy are sensational. The vibrations go from very, very subtle to incredibly strong. The "inbetween" is a large range, which is controlled by small movements of the twist cap. Although there is no simple switch for speeds, I personally enjoy the large range of strengths. The vibrations are quite rumbly, but it does not feel like an equal overall strength throughout the entire length. The strongest vibrations come from the tip and middle of the toy.

The toy is also quiet for how great the vibrations are. It's safe to say that the toy would not be heard outside of your room with the door closed, especially if used under a blanket. The controls were relatively easy to use, but once I got really into it, it was slippery and hard to grip the end or move the twisty knob around. Speaking of slippery, the toy is waterproof. This makes it easy to clean and allows you to use it in the bath or shower! Luckily, I did not notice any tingly finger syndrome after using the toy, which means the bottom of the toy does not vibrate enough to cause this odd sensation.

The toy takes 2 AA batteries, which is simple enough, but the cap was extremely hard to put back on once it had been screwed off to put the batteries in. Once on, it is simple to turn off, even in an emergency situation where it needs to be put into off position quickly. The batteries last an average length, even when you use the toy on top speed to achieve orgasm.

I love how easy and simple it is to take care of this toy and keep it clean. You can use water and soap to clean it since it's waterproof. I also really like to use a wipe after playing with it, especially if I'm pressed for time or trying to be extra discreet. I personally use a soft cloth bag to store it with my other toys, and its small size makes it easy to slip anywhere. Using a condom with a partner is really important, and although I generally dislike condoms, I actually enjoyed using it during one on one time with the toy!

The packaging was not very discreet. Anyone looking at the box would be able to see that it was a vibrator. It was made from simple plastic and would make an OK storage, but it was nothing sturdy or long-term. The information it comes with is in another language and hard to understand. Every diagram I noticed for the batteries was incorrect (even though there were 4 of them) and not appropriate for this toy. Regardless, I figured out the batteries without the instructions.
