Vanity Vr10 - dual motor rabbit vibrator discontinued by Jopen - review by indiglo

This toy is designed to give dual stimulation to the g-spot and the clitoris. It is rather long and does get a little girthy at the base of the shaft, so toy newbies should be aware that they may not be able to insert it completely. This toy is great for solo play just about anywhere - on the bed, in the tub, you name it.

Care should be taken, however, if using it with a partner because it can become uncomfortable. It is longer than your typical rabbit, with a full 6" being insertable. The tip is very tapered, so if a partner were to use it on you they could easily get too vigorous with thrusting or insertion, and you might feel like you're getting stabbed or poked. Also note that there are 3 very pronounced ridges at the thickest part of the base of the shaft, which can be painful with thrusting. So it's best to use this toy solo until you figure out the best way to use it for your body, before putting it in the hands of a partner. That way you can instruct them in proper usage of the toy.

This toy is made of 100% silicone. It has very little drag, and while it doesn't attract a lot of lint or pet hair, I do find a stray dog hair on it from time to time. There is absolutely no odor or taste. The shaft is firm, with a wonderful amount of squishiness (which makes it a little more realistic and comfortable). There is a small rod going up the middle of the shaft (that I can only feel when squeezing the toy within an inch of its life), which provides the firmness, but you mostly feel the squishy silicone in the shaft. The shaft motor is located right below the ridges, in part of the shaft that is not insertable.

The handle and controls at the bottom are velvety plastic and spherical. The toy is smooth with no texture, except for the 3 ridges it has at the base of the shaft. There is a slight seam right up the middle of the toy which cannot be felt during use. It has a very ergonomic shape, and the shaft is tapered, being thinnest at the head, and gently sloping to the bulge at the base of the shaft where the ridges are.

The rabbit has the softest ears I've ever felt on a rabbit, and the head of the rabbit is also pure silicone all the way through. The body of the rabbit contains the rabbit motor.

The entire toy from tip to handle measures 9.5". The handle is about a 2" sphere, the rabbit portion is about 4" long, and the shaft is 6" long. The insertable portion of this toy is definitely longer than your typical rabbit. The thinnest part of the shaft is the tip; it is 3.5" in circumference, which is just over 1" in diameter. The thickest part of the shaft is the base; including the ridges it is 5.5" in circumference, which is 1.75" in diameter. It is also girthier than many rabbits.

I really like the design of this toy; it is extremely ergonomic and easy to hold and fits my anatomy very, very well. The handle fits right into your hand, and the buttons are placed so that you will not accidentally bump them during use. The tip being so tapered allows for very easy insertion; however, be aware of the length and girth - you have to be ready to accept that much toy. Based on price and the anatomy dependent nature of rabbits, I would not recommend this toy to beginners. This is for someone who knows their anatomy and what kinds of rabbits work for them. It would be a shame to spend so much and then find out the design doesn't work for your body. It works for me, so I am very happy with it.

This toy is not what I would consider discreet - whoever sees it will know exactly what it is. There's no passing this off as something else. However, it does have a locking mechanism (simply hold down both buttons until the red light flashes), and that does make it travel friendly and makes it easy to store.

This is one powerful rabbit! As others have mentioned, this is not Wahl or Hitachi powerful, but it is very powerful for a rabbit. The other thing I LOVE about this toy is that even with both functions on at full power there is absolutely NO drop in power. This is the first rabbit I have had with that amount of power that does not drop. That makes me love it.

There are only 2 buttons for this toy, which makes using it a breeze once you learn which button is for which function. The top button controls the rotation of the shaft. The motor that powers the shaft is located just below the ridges in the shaft. The entire shaft (from the ridges up) rotates. There are 7 power settings that you can access by pressing the top button and holding it down. The little red lights on either side of the buttons light up as you raise the power level. As you press the button and hold it down, the power level rises. The only weird thing is that you can't turn it back down. If you want to lower the power level, press the button briefly and release to turn the function off. Then start from the bottom and go back up to the power level you want. While odd, this issue has never been a problem for me during use at all.

The bottom button controls the rabbit vibrations. The motor is located in the body of the rabbit, but you can feel the vibrations in the shaft behind the ridges and in the head and ears of the rabbit. It also has 7 power settings that you access in the same way - pushing and holding the bottom button down. The lights along the side also light up to tell you what power level you're at. Again, the controls are very easy to use once you learn which button controls which function, and I have never once accidentally bumped the buttons during use. They are perfectly placed.

This toy is also much quieter than other rabbits I have. The rotation function is louder than the vibration function like on most rabbits. But it is still very, very quiet. It can be heard from under a blanket, but not through a closed door, even with both functions going on full power. The vibrations have a bit of a humming sound when at a high level, and the rotation just sounds like the normal rabbit rotation sound, just quite a bit quieter.

This toy is completely waterproof. It performs just as well under water, and being totally enclosed (it doesn't even have a charging port), no water can get into it. This is one well made rabbit!

It comes with a really pretty charger that almost looks like half of a tulip. What I like about the charger is that it is not picky at all what position you put the toy in. If the handle of the toy is anywhere near the bottom of the charger, it will begin to charge. You don't have to worry about placing it perfectly or finding the charging port. You basically toss the toy in the charger, and then go on about your business. You will know it is charging because the red lights on the handle will light up. Once they glow steady, it is charged. It holds a charge really well, but of course, if you run both functions at full power, the charge will drain quicker.

Now to the hot button issue with this toy - THE RIDGES! My personal opinion is that the ridges represent the learning curve of this toy (Just as with Ina, I had to learn just how to angle it for maximum impact). They can be uncomfortable with thrusting unless you are really, really ready for them. But if you don't thrust the toy, the ridges are not uncomfortable at all. I have also used this toy with a rocking motion - both forward and back and from side to side - and both work wonderfully and make the ridges a moot point. I believe the ridges are designed to hit the g-spot, which they do when the shaft is fully inserted (Some users may find that difficult, however, because the shaft is longer than most rabbits, and the ridges happen to be right on the thickest part of the shaft). You will not be missing out on anything, though, if you can't get the shaft fully inserted because the rabbit ears can still reach their target - the vibrations will just be a bit weaker than they are in the head of the rabbit. This can be compensated for by turning the power up. I believe these ridges could easily be shaved down with a sharp razor blade or exacto knife if desired.

This toy is a dream to take care of. It's 100% pure silicone, so it is totally non-porous and sterilizable. (You should not boil this toy to sterilize it though, since it has motors and a battery in it!) It can be used with a condom, but it is not necessary, even if sharing it, because you can sterilize it with a bleach solution (A solution of 1 parts bleach and 10 parts water). I just wash it with antibacterial soap and warm water after use, it cleans up beautifully. You will need to make sure and clean well around the ridges, to make sure nothing is hiding from you, and under the rabbit, but it washes very easily, even after sitting overnight.

It comes with a good sized microfiber drawstring pouch. The pouch can hold the toy, the charging port and the cord. I keep it in the bag in my Devine Playchest with all my other toys.

You should only use water based lubricants with your Vr10, to keep it in great shape so you can use it for a long time.

It comes in a long, narrow white box that measures 13.25" long, 3.5" wide and 3.5" tall. It has the Vanity logo on the top, and says Vanity by Jopen Vr10 on all sides in purple. On the bottom, it has a picture of the toy sitting in the charger, with all the features in bullet points. The toy sits in a cardboard holder inside the box. While it doesn't have nude models all over it, the box is also not extremely discreet, with a picture of the toy on it. You could use the original box for storage, but it is not a hard cardboard box like the Lelo toys come in, rather more of a shoe box weight cardboard. I prefer to just use the drawstring bag it comes with, and keep it in my toybox with my other toys.

There is an instructional booklet that comes in the box too. It has instructions for all Vanity by Jopen toys (What I like about the instruction booklet is that it lays out all the Vanity by Jopen toys, so you can use it to decide which other toys you might like, how they'd work, etc.). Once you find the page with operating instructions for "Vr10 through Vr12" you will learn how to lock and unlock the toy, and how to use all the functions. This booklet says there are 6 power levels, but I count 7 upon use. It also tells you how to charge it and reminds you not to charge it near water. The instructions are quite adequate; it is not a complicated toy to use, so it doesn't require as thick of an instruction manual as some more complicated toys with more functions.

This is a very luxurious toy! I could tell as soon as I took it out of the box that this is made to be a truly enjoyable experience. The squishy silicone is plush and just feels great in your hands. While it doesn't have any patterned vibration settings, it really doesn't need them. It's your basic vibrations and rotation, but on steroids. I have never been able to use the rotations on my other rabbits because I burn the motors out too quickly on that function - but with this toy I can actually really enjoy the rotations. They feel fantastic! It has a power setting that I would imagine would work for everyone, unless of course you are in the clit-o-steel club.

It feels great in my hands and during use, but it does have a bit of a learning curve. With a little patience and a little practice, I have learned the best way to use this toy for me, and I love it. It's a little girthy and long to be my everyday vibe, but when I want a luxurious experience, this is the one I go for.
