Dr. Laura Berman Ada - traditional vibrator discontinued by Cal Exotics - review by maryholiday

This toy was smaller than expected, but it packs a good punch for its size. Its shape makes for an interesting experience, and it is good for clitoral stimulation. In addition, this toy is relatively quiet for the intensity of its settings, which makes it good for discreet stimulation.

The size makes it easy to store, but also more useful for external and shallower stimulation. It may be better for foreplay than the main event, but a person could have some real fun with this toy. Personally, I prefer something a little larger, but I consider this a good toy overall thanks to the settings.

The button controls are a little awkward, but the variation on speed/intensity is good. However, there was no real "off" setting. Once I got to the end of the variations, and rather than hold the button down for as long as required to shut it off, I would instead just unscrew the cap to cut the power. This is a pretty minor complaint though.

Another minor complaint is the toy's texture. It is a silky, smooth, velvety kind of material, and while this makes it feel great, it also makes it a little harder to clean and store. I tried storing it in a cloth bag but bits of lint kept sticking to it so I had to find plastic to wrap it in. It's not as bad as some other materials, but it's something to think about when you're deciding on what to get and how to store it.

Overall, this is a good toy for the money and for the size. It's quiet, discreet, and relatively powerful. It may not be everyone's cup of tea, but it can certainly enhance time with a partner or with oneself. Aside from a few minor gripes, I would say this could wind up being one of my favorite little toys.

Unexpectedly, it is also actually useful as a massager (my aching neck and shoulders can attest to that).
