Since I'm pretty well set with basic dildos and g-spot vibes, I find myself gravitating towards fun-and-funky, cutting edge toys. To put it simply, the SinFive Eve caught my attention really easily. A vibrator that looks like a leaf and fits in the palm of your hand? I was intrigued. So, I added it to my cart and paid. As soon as I got the confirmation email, I was counting down the minutes until Eve came in the mail.

When it arrived, my boyfriend saw the box and gave me the, "Dear God, more sex toys?!" look, so I showed it to him. I explained that not only would I be able to use Eve during sex, but I would also be able to wear it out and about. He agreed to give Eve a try and we had a lot of fun. Since Eve has ribbing on the vibrator sleeve, it is great for clitoral stimulation-- rubbing it back and forth makes the best use of this feature. The vibrations weren't necessarily powerful, though. I wasn't able to orgasm until we added other types of stimulation. For me, that meant using a vibrator internally. When my boyfriend and I moved on from foreplay, we tried to keep Eve on my clitoris. This would probably have been more successful in "bottom positions" (missionary, variations of missionary, or doggie style) in which I could have more easily used a hand to hold the toy in place. I was on top, though, and we were a little bit portly when we tried Eve out. Between bouncing around and bellies getting in the way, we couldn't keep Eve on my clit.

I decided to give Eve a second shot on my own, though. If I wear underwear, it stays mostly in place and looks kind of bulky. Just plain masturbating was about the same experience as my earlier experience with foreplay... Except the batteries ran out. On my second session of play. As soon as I saw Eve in person, I knew the bullet vibe that it comes with wasn't high quality-- it's made of dinky, lightweight plastic and has an on/off switch that gets stuck-- but I expected it to at least last longer than it did. When you're in the mood, you don't want to have to worry about changing batteries, either, so Eve lost its appeal.

That being said, let's look at the Pros:
-Fun ridges for clitoral stimulation
-Discreet
-Interesting design
-Fits in the palm of your hand
-Can be used in tandem with other forms of stimulation
-Easy to clean

And here are the Cons:
-Doesn't stay put on its own
-Low quality bullet with short battery life
-Too bulky to wear under tight or revealing clothing

In all honesty, I would love Eve a lot more if it were available with a higher quality bullet. I really like the stainless steel bullets that come with the FeelDoe line and would kill to get one for my Eve. Otherwise, though, I'm not in love (or lust) with SinFive Eve. On its own, it lacks the power I want out of a toy and feels more like a novelty than anything.
