Much to my surprise, the Night Warmer is my most used toy in my collection. At six inches in diameter at the base, it really is an average sized toy as the base really isn’t insert-able. It is very “veiny” and the magenta color seems a little odd to me, but if the looks don’t get you screaming, using it certainly will. One word about the overall appearance of this: obvious! You need to hide this well. It’s plain to see that it’s a toy, and it’s a big sunburnt dick. It is not something you would want to pack in your carry on or TSA might wonder why you are toting a 7 1/2 inch male appendage to your final destination!

The packaging disappointed me. It was a large Eden’s Fantasy plastic. I was not sure what I was expecting, but I expected something else. I wish I had kept the packaging, although it was rather large because you know those round things you can use to roll over clothing and pick up lint? I think they got the idea for that invention from this vibe. It seems to attract lint like crazy. Cleaning it takes a little time because it is very veined, but simple soap and water does the trick, and then wrap it in a lint free cloth to dry otherwise you’ll have bits of dust all over it! Don’t boil this one because it does have electrical parts and could possibly be damaged even though it is waterproof. (I'd rather be cautious with my toys than ruin a favorite by running it through the dishwasher.) Instead, soak it in water with a little bleach for a good cleaning. The second thing I noticed about this toy was how dumb it made me feel about inserting the two AA batteries. I mean, how difficult can that be? Unfortunately, it was more difficult for me than it should have been. I asked on the Eden Fantasy forums for advice which was embarrassing. After all, who needs instructions on how to insert batteries? I received several pieces of advice ranging from lightly moving the connector parts to make sure they are making contact as well as holding the buttons down for about ten seconds. I’m not sure what advice finally worked, but I am dreading having to replace batteries in this thing since I had such a difficult time putting them in the first time.

Since this is a silicone toy, only a water based lube should be used. Because it is not flared, this should only be used for vaginal play and not for anal. It has ten speeds, and they cycle, with lighter vibrations to more intense ones, then lighter again. This is a nice touch when you want to change speeds, you don’t go from a light vibration to a real fast one instantly, but ease into it. While 7 1/2 inches long, only 6 1/4” of those inches are insertable. There are two buttons on the base. They are identical in size and shape which is one thing I dislike about this vibe. I tend to get them confused, and instead of increasing the vibration, I have been known to turn off the vibe until I find the button I meant to push. The other thing I dislike about the buttons is they are on the base. It is hard to ride this without it turning off or hitting another setting. It is do-able, but not as easy as I’d like.

While I am a relative newbie to toys, I find this is my go-to toy. Like Goldilocks might say, I’ve had toys that are too big, ones that are too small, but this one is just right. I could be wrong, but I expect this will remain a favorite no matter how large my toy collection grows because it is such a good toy. I know other reviewers said that this one didn’t hit their G-spot, but since every body is different, I have to say that it also hits my G-spot and I’m quite happy with the length, shape, and vibrations.
