I wasn't expecting much from this vibe, but was pleasantly surprised. It has a variety of settings ranging from slow sultry pulsations to powerful vibrating rotations. It literally feels like a live snake! With power comes noise, however. I could definitely hear this toy from the other room when left under the covers. If discretion matters, then a quieter toy might be in order, but I don't have roommates and own my own home, so this is not a problem.

I did find that I pretty much stuck with the most powerful setting, which made all the others pale in comparison. I guess it is nice to have variety, but honestly, once you feel the power, it is hard to go back. I liked the fact that the on/off button doubled as the setting button. It was smoothly integrated into the base of the toy and very easy to operate. Cleaning was a breeze, since it is completely waterproof, and I have washed it with soap and water numerous times.

I have owned this vibe for three months or more and it hasn't deteriorated in any way. The batteries last for an impressively long time, which is also a bonus. The size was perfect and I was very happy that I did not get a disappointingly skimpy toy. I worried it would be too thin, but it definitely is not! The length is longer than necessary, which is a good thing because the cap that screws the batteries in should stay outside of the body, in my opinion. I did not use this for anal play, and I feel it would be too large for many people to be used for that purpose.

All in all, this was a great buy and I am glad that I took the plunge and tried out a powerful vibe, especially since i have been disappointed by weak ones in the past.

I used this alone and had the most amazing and surprising orgasms. They were completely different from "regular" ones due to the intense vibrations that ran through my whole body.
