The Charmer by Eden Toys is a great introductory toy for g-spot or p-spot stimulation. It features a textured ribbed design that helps to stimulate internal tissues while a flat head brushes and teases the right spots. Beginners and intermediate users alike may find enjoyment in this toy, but more advanced users or those looking for a bigger toy should look elsewhere. The toy has a flared base, so it makes the dildo perfectly safe for anal use, and there aren't any worries of the toy bruising or causing harm to the body if thrust roughly.

Users can use this in the bedroom, shower, pool or wherever else they'd like as it doesn't have any mechanical parts to worry about damaging. It's best manipulated by hand, but it also features a suction cup base that can be attached to any flat surface or placed in a harness for strap-on play or pegging. Traveling with it is not a problem as long as you aren't easily embarrassed should TSA check your bags. It's small enough to fit in a carry-on or easily slipped into a handbag when on the go.

The Charmer is made from 100% pure, premium silicone. This means that the toy is non-porous, hypoallergenic, latex and phthalate-free. Users with sensitivities to materials and scents will not have to worry with silicone toys. Directly out of the packaging before the first wash, this toy does not have any scent to it whatsoever. The feel of the material is smooth and silky under the fingertips and feels velvety.

The silicone has some flexibility, but it is not that squishy and is firm when squeezed, giving only a little under the pressure. Silicone rates a 10 out of 10 on the Eden safety scale for its durability and resistance. The silicone has no taste to it, so if wanting to use this for an oral simulation toy, there aren't any lingering odd flavors to worry about.

The Charmer isn't shaped realistically, but the shape does lend to the stimulation. It has a flattened head for g-spot or p-spot stimulation, and a ribbed shaft for added pleasure. The base is a suction cup for use on flat surfaces and doubles for harness compatibility. There are five ribs in total on the shaft, designed for stimulating the vaginal wall. The texture of the toy isn't too extreme, and it would be great even for introducing beginners to texture.

The size of the toy is also non-intimidating, so beginners to both vaginal and anal play can enjoy this toy respectively. Size king and queens will need not apply, as this toy doesn't have girth nor length, and may not appeal to those who enjoy a bigger toy. The overall length measures 6 inches in total with the suction cup base and has an insertable length of about 5-3/4 inches. It has a 3-3/4" circumference and is 1-1/8" in diameter. While the toy is small and is not realistically shaped, it is not discreet enough to leave out in the open. Though it looks somewhat like a gaming joystick, it can be easily recognized for its use.

This is an extremely comfortable toy to insert and use. The drag of the silicone will require water-based lubricant when inserting, especially if using the toy anally, but will only require a minimal amount (about a dime sized upon initial insertion). The velvety texture of the silicone does soak up more lubricant than usual, so you may need to re-apply lubricant as you play in order to keep things wet. The drag also adds to the feeling of the textured ribs creating a gentle medium when thrusting.

Use of this toy for g-spot and p-spot stimulation will depend on a person's anatomy. The flattened head is meant for gently rubbing against the erogenous area, but some may require more pinpoint stimulation. Some anatomies may also need more of a curve in the shaft as some g-spots can really hide in the body. Regardless of spot stimulation, the toy feels great whether used vaginally or anally because of the ribbed texture. It isn't too intense, but it can be easily felt when the toy is thrust.

The suction cup base works fairly well if used on a flat, non-textured surface. It will not stick to a porous or textured surface at all. When the suction cup is suctioned to the surface, it can be moved around a little, but if bent too far, the suction cup pops loose. In a harness, the base is a bit too flexible, and if pelvic muscles clench around the toy tight enough, the toy can be popped out of the O-ring on the harness or if the person is rough when thrusting.

The silicone toy retains hot and cold well, so users may want to put the toy in a bowl of warm water or a bowl of ice water for temperature play if they feel so inclined.

Since silicone is a highly resistant material, you can clean it in a number of ways. Simple mild soap and warm water, toy cleaner or wipes, bleaching it in a 5% bleach (95% water) solution, placing it in the top rack of your dishwasher without detergent, and boiling the toy for up to three minutes are all methods of cleaning silicone. Using the dishwasher, bleach, or boiling the toy are all methods of sterilizing the material, and should be done at least once a month if used or more if frequently used. This should be done if the user specifically uses this for both anal and vaginal use or between partners. Allow the toy to air dry, or dry it on a lint-free towel as silicone is known for lint and dust sticking to the surface.

When completely dry, store the toy in a cool, dark area avoiding direct sunlight such as in a toy chest, box, drawer, or closet. Sunlight is great for getting rid of odors, but silicone should not be exposed to it for a long time. If your toy retains any odors, leave it in an open space with direct sunlight for a few hours. If this doesn't work to get rid of a deeper odor, try boiling or bleaching the toy and store it with your favorite coffee beans or sprigs of vanilla bean in order to get rid of the unwanted odor. Usually, when silicone retains an odor it's due to using anally, so use an anal douche as this will help reduce the bacteria the toy is exposed to.

All silicone toys should be used with water-based lubricants only . It is important to use water-based as other lubricants may cause a reaction to the material, and melt or discolor it. If you're unsure about a lubricant, if it is water-based, the first ingredient should be purified water. Most bottles of lubricants will state on the front or back if these are water-based. Hybrid lubricants should be tested on the base or an inconspicuous area of a toy before use. If the toy becomes sticky or gooey after a few minutes, remove the lubricant immediately with soapy water and switch to a water-based lubricant for that toy.

Storing silicone toys with other silicone toys will not cause a reaction unless the toy isn't made from 100% as it claims. If you're unsure about a toys composition, keep them stored in separate Ziploc or Organza bags away from one another. Never store silicone with PVC, TPR, TPE, sil-a-gel, jelly, rubber, cyberskin or other lesser materials. These will melt or discolor silicone.

Packaging is both minimal and recyclable. The toy is shipped inside of a plain, unmarked cardboard box without labels indicating that there is an adult item tucked away inside. The return address does not say Edenfantasys nor is it printed anywhere on the outside of the box. The address is simply a generic merchant name and would not raise suspicion unless one were to google it. Inside of the discreet box, there was an air pillow to keep the toy from bumping about during shipment.



Underneath the air pillow, the packing slip for the toy rests atop of the toy itself and gives the information needed in case one needs to make exchanges or returns. This information is important if you feel your toy is defected in some form. Under the packing slip, the toy rests in a clear cellophane bag. The only mark on the bag is a sticker for inventory purposes, and the toy does not include instructions on care or use, though none are really required. All of the packaging can be thrown into the recycling if you feel so inclined.

If gifting the toy, a gift box or bag is a necessity with the minimal packaging in order to make it more presentable. If gifting this to someone, always let them know that their gift contains an adult item in case they are easily embarrassed and prefer to open it in a more private setting.
