The first thing I noticed when opening this box was that the dildo was actually very pretty to look at. I love glass and the clear glass with the ribbon of red/pink is very easy on the eyes. I also liked that it was slender as I do not really like to use large insertions. It feels good in your hand and is cool to the touch at first, but it quickly warms up to match your current body temp.

The second thing I noticed was how TINY the bullet that came with it was and that unfortunately, the power cord was not permanently attached to the battery pack. It attaches via a plug like what you see on an iPod headphone jack. This is annoying and it does come out sometimes during use. I have also found, after a few months of use, that the jack/plug connection is becoming loose and even when it doesn't fall out, it will stop working while plugged in (like there is a short or bad connection now). Talk about annoying! You will be almost THERE and it just dies on you! Plus, the cord itself is VERY short, so you are really stuck sitting still when using it as there is no slack.

The third thing I noticed is that it takes THREE AAA batteries. And boy does it go through them. I use rechargeable batteries, thank heavens, but I still only get two uses per full charge (about 10-15 min, use each time) before it won't turn on and I have to charge my batteries again. That is crazy to me!

I was also disappointed in the quality of the battery case. It is very hard, easily chipped plastic. Every time I take out the batteries and put them back in, I am afraid I am going to crack the case. AND after only a few battery changes, one of the spring connectors for the batteries actually fell out of the case. I was able to put it back into the case, but still. Very cheap quality construction there.

Now, as for how it feels, it's not bad. The bullet is very tiny, so using it alone without the dildo or in addition to the dildo, but not IN the dildo as it is intended is difficult. I have mastered the ability to do this and reach an orgasm fairly quickly, but it did take some maneuvering and practice. Using the dildo by itself doesn't really do anything for me at all. It is very hard and I prefer something more lifelike in feeling. That said, sometimes it does feel good to put the cool glass in right before you orgasm for a thrill. I also do not like the way the dildo feels if you use it the way it is intended, with the bullet actually in the O-ring of the dildo. The pulsating hard glass hurts me. I did not like that.
