The Nature Bruce is a vibrator that is meant mostly for vaginal use. It is definitely large and not might not be suitable for beginners or those who need a smaller girth. But if you like your toys big, this is your vibe. It might be possible to used this for anal play if you can handle the size and have a partner making sure it doesn't go in too deep, because it does not have a flared base.

This vibrator is made of 100% medical grade silicone. It is dermatologically tested, hypoallergenic, phthalate free, and completely body safe.

The silicone on this vibrator does give a little if you squeeze it, and it will bend slightly with firm pressure. But otherwise it is quite firm.

It is phallic looking but not very realistic. Actually it looks, and kind of feels, more like a large lump of silly putty that was molded with someone's hands. The texture is somewhat velvety and slightly tacky.

It also has a 1 inch base that is made of hard plastic.

The design of the Nature Bruce looks like a phallic silicone dildo mounted on a vibrator body. As I said before this is a large toy. It is 7 1/2 inches long with 6 1/2 of the being insertable. And it's girth is 1 3/4 inches diameter. But when inserted, it feels like more than that even. That's probably due to the fact that it's so firm.

This is by no means a discreet toy. If anyone ever saw it they would know exactly what it is and what it's for.

This is a dial based vibrator. So there are many levels of vibration strength, ranging from very mild to fairly powerful. They are strong deep vibrations but with a high pitched frequency, as opposed to a deep thuddy type. The dial is at the bottom of the base and is very easy to use.

As far as I can tell the motor is located near the base. I say that because that's where they feel the strongest. But the silicone does carry the vibrations well and they are felt throughout the whole toy. This is also a fairly quiet vibrator. I doubt anyone could hear what you're doing through a closed door. But if someone was in the same room, they would definitely be able to hear it.

This runs on 2 AA batteries. The base screws off to insert them. It's quite easy to do, but there are no + or - symbols in the toy to tell you which one is supposed to be up and which is supposed to be down. The instruction booklet showed that there is supposed to be one positive side up and one negative side up. So I just tried putting them in and found it worked. And then I tried switching them around and it worked again. So I guess you don't have to worry which one is up and which one is down.

This is not a waterproof vibrator. It is splash-proof though. So as long as you're careful cleaning should be fairly easy.

Speaking of cleaning, just some soap and water should do the trick. Silicone is nonporous but this is a vibrator so it cannot be sterilized. So if you will be sharing this toy, a condom would be a good idea.

The only types of lubes that should be used with silicone toys are waterbased ones. Silicone lubes can ruin silicone toys.

The packaging on this was pretty nice. It came in a shiny silver cardboard box with a window on the front showing the vibrator.

What really impressed me was the fact that it came with a very thorough instruction manual in seven languages, and a 50ml tube of a lubricant called Aquaglide.

Some things I want to mention that didn't seem to fit anywhere else are that this toy is made in Germany by a company called JOYDIVISION. It has a 5 year materials warranty and a 2 year warranty on all other parts. I think that's quite impressive.

Also the AquaGlide lube that came with it, was a great and unexpected addition. I kind of like it. It sort of reminds me of Maximus in consistency and thickness. But it has a bit of a funny medicinal smell. The tube says it's a medical lubricant gel. So maybe that's why.

And finally, here's what I personally thought of this vibrator.

Well my first impression was that it was fugly. And the silicone texture felt different than what I'm used to. Definitely firmer with less give than most silicone toys.

But after putting a paper bag over it's head and giving it a try (metaphorically speaking, of course) I really liked it. The firmness made this toy feel more like it had about 2 inches of girth inside me. But even though it is firm, it's ability to bend a little helped it to fit well in my body. The vibrations, though not over the top strong, were very pleasant and strong enough. And they were so deep that I could feel them all the way through to the outside of my body. I did need to use the highest setting. I also tried it externally, but for whatever reason, it just didn't work well for that. And this toy by itself did not get me over the top. But when I used it in conjunction with a clit vibe I had an incredibly strong orgasm.

So when all is said and done, this is a very nice vibrator.
