The Vibrating Champlette by Vixen Creations was hand-picked by yours truly after an exhausting search for just the right shape, size and color to make me truly happy. My criteria for picking a dildo were: 1) It couldn't look too much like a real penis, 2) It had to be big, but not too big, 3) It had to be easy-to-sterilize and fabulously durable pure silicone and 4) it had to be pretty. The Vibrating Champlette fit the bill and wins bonus points for vibrating! I didn't even ask for that favor, but the folks at Vixen threw in a little extra happiness just because they're nice like that.

This dildo has virtually no offensive odor and comes in a convenient plastic tube that I continue to use for storage. It is the perfect size for me and fits easily into most harnesses. With the wide base, however, you don't even have to use a harness with it if you don't want to or don't have one! When using it with a partner, a regular-sized condom fits over it easily. At the end of a partner session, 10 seconds in boiling water sterilizes my purple friend for another day of play.

The vibrator is a small bullet that slides (with the help of lubricant) into a hole in the base of the Champlette. It has a long cord for easy retrieval. The vibe is standard and does add some extra oomph the experience, especially if the dildo is being worked properly to massage the G-spot. I, however, don't often use the vibe with the Champlette because it makes a mildly loud buzzing noise that I find unappealing. Sometimes I just use the vibrator separately to play with, but it isn't the kind of intense vibration that leads to orgasm.

I highly recommend the Vibrating Champlette for anyone who is looking for a medium-sized, high-quality dildo to strap-on with a harness or just use in you or your partner's hand. I only tested this dildo vaginally and cannot speak to its use anally, but because it has a wide enough base I would recommend that it could be used safely for such activities.
