Butterfly kiss - g-spot vibrator by Cal Exotics - review by Merely

The cons of the Butterfly Kiss are about what you'd expect from a TPE vibe of this price - doesn't feel particularly sturdy, tricky to clean, not the strongest vibrations, and a tragically short lifespan - but the pros more than make up for these few setbacks. Arranged like a slightly atypical rabbit, the Kiss has the usual clit vibe (this one, a butterfly with whirring antennae, of course) as well as the g-spot vibe portion. Though it looks small and dainty, the tremors are surprisingly strong, and the shape delivers them perfectly where needed. It has three speeds, from light to frantic, controlled with a button at the bottom of the long handle. It's not silent, but the buzzing is light and difficult to hear from another room, which is a clear plus.

My first Kiss seemed to get a bit screwy after a few months of use, after a bit of water splashed onto the handle during cleaning, but my fondness for it made replacing it an easy choice. The colored part of the toy is waterproof but the handle and control portion seems very vulnerable. The fact that it's impossible to sterilize also makes me wary of long use with this toy, and the shape makes it tricky to put in a condom. It's listed as TPE or jelly in various models, but either way a user should be concerned about sharing this toy and know that it's impossible to completely get rid of bacteria. Of course, this is sadly standard for toys of this type and no other vibe I've tried from this price range even comes close in terms of quality.

Overall, the toy is great for clit and internal stimulation. The g-spot bulb can also be used on the clit for a nice variation. Though the handle can be a bit long for certain positions, this toy is also otherwise perfect for double-penetration with a partner or other toy penetrating anally. I personally tend towards stronger vibrations and gain little from g-spot toys, but something about this toy's shape still made it very satisfying. However, a personal pet peeve is that while this toy comes in blue (in addition to the usual feminine pink that so many of us ladies are tired of), the alternate color is always several dollars more expensive. Really, CalExotics? That's just irritating, but a definitely a petty grievance in light of the many useful qualities of the Kiss. Several of my friends have gotten in the habit of purchasing these as gifts and everyone has expressed similar good reviews, whether experienced vibe-user or complete newbie. Clearly, the Kiss is something special amongst cheap plastic vibrators.

My latest Butterfly Kiss is still going strong, so there seems to be a lot of variation in the lifespan of these little guys. It's still a great toy that I highly recommend, with a few caveats.
