Kudos to Cal Exotics for they have done it again - provided a reasonably priced quality product that can bring hours of enjoyment. I hemmed and hawed quite a while before buying this but I'm so glad that I gave in.

Tryst is a tastefully designed silicone traditional vibrator. Its dimensions are:

Length: 7"
Insertable length: 5 1/4"
Circumference: 4 3/4"
Diameter: 1 1/2"

With a 1 1/2" diameter and some minor ridges on along the shaft, this toy is probably best for the intermediate or advanced person who can handle a slightly larger size and different textures. There is a ridge along both sides that might be a seam that was artfully disguised, however, I do not find it to be uncomfortable when in use. Then again, because these ridges aren't super thick, it might be a good introduction to ridged toys for someone who isn't sure if they'd like texture and would like to try with a reasonably priced, silicone toy.

Let me start by sharing some of what I love about this toy before going into the details of how to care for it.

First of all, while the silicone has a bit of drag to it, there is not much drag and it doesn't seem to attract lint and dust to it like other silicone toys do. I love that because it seems like there is nothing worse than getting ready to play and having to spend 5 minutes cleaning dust and lint (and in our case, bunny hairs) off a toy. Somehow, it seems to dampen the mood a bit.

In addition, this toy has several settings for vibrations. It seems like there is a setting for everyone. The options available are:

- Constant vibrations for the first three settings - 1st is low, 2nd is medium and 3rd is high
- The fourth pattern goes from low to high before dropping back to low
- The fifth pattern is made up of short high vibrations that pulsate with about one second between each pulse
- The sixth pattern is made up of short medium vibrations that pulsate the same way
- The seventh and final pattern is short medium pulsations that are followed by a medium pulsation that is longer

So let's talk for a moment about how to take care of this toy. First of all, in spite of the fact that it is made of premium silicone that is food-grade material, hypo-allergenic, latex free, non-porous and phthalates free, you do not want to clean this by throwing it in the dishwasher or boiling it like you would a silicone dildo. Why? You don't want to ruin the motor.

So clean it with toy cleaner, a toy wipe or simply soap and water. You can put it in water since it is waterproof also.

Also, do not use silicone based lubes with the Tryst. Make sure that your lubes are water-based or oil-based so they do not ruin the soft finish on this toy.

Since a picture is worth a thousand words, let me share the majority of my review here.

Notice how it bends so that it can stimulate your G-spot if you wish:
