My best use for this little guy is at the moment. When I'm feeling in the mood and need a little something, he's a nice touch and feel for the right places. The vibrations add a nice stimulation if I need a little warming up, though the cord can be a little distracting. He's definitely a little small, so it's a good beginner's toy. I think this toy would be easy enough to store in a purse or pocketbook for carrying on the go and for travel. It's discreet and not too loud.

The overall material texture was good. The veins were prominent, and the overall shape and feel were realistic. It didn't keep its strong plastic smell too long. The material did tend to pick up dust and hair fairly quickly, so I always made sure to wash and dry thoroughly to catch any loose hairs or threads it picked up (I have a blanket made of yarn, and it tended to pick up the threads quickly). It also tended to catch any ink that it was near (magazines, gloss-printed paper, etc.) so I had to scrub it clean several times. I suggest storing it in a box or drawer by itself, as is suggested because it does not always store well with other materials.

The smell when you first open it is a little strong, but it didn't hold the smell for any more than 6 months. The cord leading to the vibrating control could get a little distracting while playing with it. I always watched not to get any water near the cord while washing it, but I've never had a problem with the batteries or power shorting out on it.

The vibration control requires 2 AAA batteries. It has 6 - 7 vibration settings, varying from a lighter vibration to a strong one, and a few that start light and go strong. I love the variation of vibrations, as it kept the feeling fresh and new. It was never real loud, as I have 2 other people that live with me and do not hear it at all.

It was a little on the small side, as I have a few other toys that compliment my body a little better. This would be a good toy for a beginner, as well as anal play, though I definitely recommend a condom because of the material if you are using for anal.

The shape is curved, but not too much. It is small enough and has a fairly realistic proportion. The balls were a nice touch, and it curves up enough with the suction to be used for the wall. The vibration control cord is also long enough for this, as you can hold the cord without distraction or having to tug or bend down if it is stuck to the wall.

The design was nice for this, as the cord length was taken into consideration. The vibration control takes a hard click to start, so it will not turn on unexpectedly. I was also happy for the fact that the cord was attached underneath the balls, so it didn't interfere too much with normal play when I didn't want the vibration.

The controls worked well, and it wasn't a battery guzzler. There were several different setting, all of which accessible from the single vibration control and a click. You click a small button and can flip through each different pattern. In order to turn it off, you simply hold the button in. I like how all the controls are done with a single button.

There were several different patterns, from steady to random, from light to heavy on vibrations. It mixed it up well, and I wasn't disappointed with the vibrations, as I did find a setting that was perfect.

In terms of performance, it performed better on the back end that any other place for me because of the size. The vibrations provided a nice feeling, but I definitely feel it more in my back end because of its small size.

I suggest cleaning it with warm soapy water and/or a disinfectant. Do read the instructions about how it should be washed, but overall the odor of plastic disappeared right away. It doesn't hold smells and any lubricate used with it seems to wash away fairly easily with regular soap and water.

Would suggest for beginners, a little on the small side for more experienced users.
