The Real Pleasure by NMC is a great vibrator for those who enjoy the look of realistic toys. It can be used both externally and internally. It's good for all genders and sexual orientations. Personally, my favorite uses for this toy are vaginal penetration and clitoral stimulation. This vibrator is not curved, so it will have to be angled by the user to achieve g-spot stimulation.

This vibrator won't be your best choice if you'd like a toy suitable for sharing or group play. The material on this one is more porous, which can harbor bacteria, and takes a little extra caution-more on that later.

Since the Real Pleasure is waterproof, you can take it anywhere you like. Add it to a relaxing night in the hot tub, get playful in the pool, run through the rain and wave it in the air if you want. On the other hand, you can always just stick to using it as a bath toy like I do.

This vibrator is not suitable for anal sex since the base is not flared. If you would like to use it anally, Evolved Novelties now sells vibrator enhancers that can be added on to any toy. This one would take a size medium. There is a link for this product at the bottom of the review.

The Real Pleasure vibrator is constructed of TPR, or thermoplastic rubber. This rates a 7/10 on Eden's safety scale. This material shines in both its durability and its capability to form texture. However, TPR is also a porous material that can retain the natural bacteria of the user's body. Condoms should always be used when sharing this toy. Preferably, a condom should be employed for solo use as well, since the body's bacteria does change from day to day and can result in a bacteria infection even without sharing.

TPR is much safer than the extremely porous UR3 and cyberskin (2/10) realistic toys. Unfortunately, it does not feel as realistic as UR3 or cyberskin toys either. Silicone is the safest material (10/10). On the other hand, unlike silicone toys, TPR is compatible with both water based and silicone based lubricants. This makes it an excellent choice for shower and bath play, as the silicone lubricant won't just rinse off as soon as the water hits it. This toy will be a nice balance for those looking to use silicone lubricant and/or achieve some level of realistic feel without completely sacrificing safety.

I should also make mention that there is a not particularly pleasant scent that accompanies this toy. It is definitely noticeable when near the user's face, but not strong enough to smell during use. There is a light taste to it as well.

The Real Pleasure vibrator is made to be similar to the look and feel of a real penis. Size-wise, this toy is like the average man. From top to bottom, the Real Pleasure measures 7.25" in length. Of that, 6.25" is the insertable portion and 1" is the base. The circumference of this toy is 5" and the diameter is 1.25". It is made up of three components: a TPR sleeve, a plastic vibrating core, and a screw on battery cap with a control dial.

The sleeve is light pink with increased pigmentation at the head. There are several veins all over the vibrator to give it some texture. Personally, I was not really able to feel these during use, but I do like the look of them. The entire sleeve is very soft with a lot of give to it. The head of the sleeve especially so, as it extends beyond the plastic core, making it completely pliable. Despite this, the vibrations are able to carry well all the way to the very tip of the toy.

The plastic core provides stronger vibrations than I anticipated. The core also adds some stability to the lower portions of the toy, making insertion easier. The feeling of the soft sleeve around a firm core also makes the toy feel more like a real man, although it is much softer than the real thing.

The screw on cap exposes the battery compartment, which takes 2 AAAs. It comes on and off very easily without sticking. Once closed tightly, it is suitable for water immersion.

The Real Pleasure vibrator is controlled by a dial at the end of the base. Turning this dial both powers the toy on and then controls the amount of vibration. This gives the user the ability to have a lot of choice over the strength of the vibrations. I liked that there were ridges all along the dial so your fingers can easily find and adjust it without looking. It also helps to keep your fingers from slipping off while wet. Plus, the dial was tight enough not to create issues with accidentally brushing up against it and changing the setting.

Although this toy is multi-speed, it does not have multi-functions; it has steady vibrations only. In my opinion, it is a 4/5 on the vroom scale. It definitely gets the job done for me, especially with a fresh set of batteries. At its strongest, I would say this toy has 3 bees. It isn't incredibly loud, but you can definitely hear it when it's running. It could easily be masked with background noise, such as the TV or radio being on.

As far as the maintenance of this toy, it's pretty straightforward. The Real Pleasure vibrator can be cleaned with antibacterial hand soap or toy cleaner and warm water. This toy is waterproof, so cleaning it under running water should not be an issue as long as the battery compartment is closed. I like to towel the toy off and then leave it out to air dry. After that, I dust it with a bit of cornstarch to get any residual moisture out and give it a nice, smooth feeling.

As I mentioned previously, the materials of this toy are compatible with either water or silicone based lubes. For the safest use of this toy, always use a condom so bacteria is not harbored in the porous material. This vibrator has no special storage requirements.

This item comes in an Eden Fantasys plastic pillow pack. It will be double sealed in two separate plastic wrappers. The outer plastic bag is marked "Made in China". No instructions are included. It is not discreet, since the box is transparent. It would work for gift giving purposes, if you don't wish to hand someone a loose toy. It will not likely hold up to extended storage use.

I liked this toy much more than I expected to. I received the Real Pleasure vibrator as a free promotional item for signing up for the Eden Fantasys newsletter. Being that it was a free item and had some less than stellar reviews, I didn't have very high hopes for it. On the other hand, it was free, so I figured I may as well try it. Besides, the look of realistic toys appeals to me.

When it first arrived, I saw the minimal packaging and set my expectations even lower. Still, I grabbed a couple of triple As and powered it up. The button slide smoothly under my fingers as I adjusted it to maximum level..."whoa", I thought, "this thing is kinda strong!" Not exactly earth shattering or hand numbing, but much stronger than I expected all the same. I rolled a condom on it and guided it up inside of me. It did not feel as real as my UR3 dildo, but the soft texture was much more realistic than plastic or silicone toys. I then took it out and used the tip for direct clitoral stimulation. The vibrations carried all the way to the top and the plush texture felt very comfortable up against me (which is especially important when piercings are involved). Between the texture, vibrations, and realistic looks of this toy, I was able to get off in no time. In fact, I used it again the very next day.

I have no idea how a toy this good was being given out for free, but I'm so thankful that it was. I think the Real Pleasure vibrator is a great product.
