This is a great beginner/intermediate dildo - it was a bit bigger than I'd pictured, but no complaints there! It didn't smell like anything when it was taken out of the packaging and best of all, it's shimmery! It's a nice, realistic dildo at a good price and works fairly well with a harness. If, however, your harness is flimsy or not really that secure, there may be problems, as the Vamp is fairly solid at 10.5 ounces. It took my partner and me a few tries to figure out how to get it totally secure in the harness we were using, but once we did, there were no problems.

It's silicone (which is awesome); latex free (very important for those of us with allergies or sensitivities); body-safe and easy to clean (boil for 3-5 minutes, or run through the dishwasher on the top rack without detergent after hand washing). You do have to use water-based lubes with silicone toys and to keep this bad boy in tip top shape. It attracts lint, but that's not uncommon. I haven't found a perfect solution, besides rinsing it off before each use. While doing this, I found out that the Vamp holds a temperature very well - you can make it cold as the grave, or warm as the living, whichever you prefer.

It's veined, which gives it a nice texture that I was able to feel, without it getting in the way of use. I really liked the slight texture and the changes in diameter. Because it's reasonably thick with a sizable head, it's quite good at getting at your G-spot, once you find the proper angle (this is where the lack of flexibility can make it a bit tricky).

The only potential downsides to it are that it's not super flexible (soft to touch, but the whole thing doesn't bend very much), and it attracts lint (as silicone toys tend to do). However, those are the only problems I had with the Vamp. Overall, I like it, and it has become my go-to for "me time".
