XXL European red bat - traditional vibrator discontinued by Doc Johnson - review by ToyingCouple

I honestly don't know what is happening to me these days. For someone who never was a size queen, I have reviewed the ManHandler, Bad Boyz Dong, and now the Red Bat! Maybe I have something to prove but, thankfully, my husband isn't envious of these big toys ravishing my pussy.

Anyway the European Red Bat is certainly XXL as its moniker states, and measures in at 10". It is indeed shaped like a baseball bat which is a design that I'm surprised hasn't been marketed before. The genius part about it is the end of the toy is quite noticeably fatter that the base. Once you manage to insert this vibe it tends to stay put enabling some hands-free operation.

My fingers were free to perform lots of other interesting activities! It's not a weighty as I thought it would be considering the size which is good from the perspective for the health of the operators wrists. There is something nice about having yourself full of a pound or two of solid cock, but you won't get that feeling from the Red Bat. This sucker is all about the length and it will take some practice to insert this sucker fully! Yay me!

Made from TPR (thermoplastic rubber) this vibrator has reasonably good cleanup, but is certainly not to be shared or switched from vaginal to anal use; unless covering with a condom. If only the makers used full silicone construction! The texture of the toy is wonderfully smooth, with a very subtle seam line that I couldn't feel during use and isn't a concern whatsoever. There are no grooves or bends for lube or other fluids to get stuck in, so soap and water cleanup is an absolute breeze.

Many reviewers have complained about the scent of TPR products, and I'm sure they vary from toy to toy, but smell isn't an issue with the Red Bat. I can barely notice a rubbery odor after a couple washes.

The power of this vibe is excellent! The intensity is very high with the vibrations traveling throughout the length of the shaft. Powered by two AA batteries, the manufacturer (Doc Johnson) has done a great job of focusing the power at the last few inches of the toy; while still making them noticeable at the base. The trade-off for this is the noise, and you won't be using the Bat with your in-laws staying in the next room!

Most of the decibels come from the batteries rattling around in their compartment on high speed, and a tighter fit for them could have been designed. Control of the power is your standard twist dial, which I've never been a fan of. Either my slippery fingers can't get a grip to adjust, or I end up twisting the entire cap off with the batteries falling out on these types of controls. Personally I think push buttons are the way to go and are more prominent on higher end vibrators.

The European Red Bat is waterproof as stated, and was confirmed by our usual hot tub testing program! An evening of use showed no signs of moisture inside the battery compartment and, trust me, the vibrator was under water most of the time!

So far the Red Bat has been used strictly on me, and solely for vaginal play. Something about the toy says 'stick it in your ass!' but that will be with it safely covered in a condom. I have experienced good orgasms using it during solo sessions and, like I mentioned earlier, once inside the vibrator tends to stay put because of the tapered shape.

I've gotten off with it buzzing away at my insides, while using a clitoral vibrator in tandem, and giving my nipples a good pinch so my free hands weren't really so free! The Bat has also shook me to orgasm while using it as a clit vibe. The large end of the toy and high vibrations, work well for that purpose also. Because of the twist controls I tend to leave it on high speed, and even when my husband has done the operations for me he lives up to his nickname of 'Max Power'!
