My best friend got me this as a gag gift because of my obsession with all things penguin. I was thrilled. I couldn't believe that a vibrator came in penguin form. The first time I used it, it was obnoxiously hard to turn on. You have to squish the stomach around a lot to figure out how to get it on. The battery pack tends to come loose when you store it, so you’ll want to check that first before you get frustrated. Once it’s finally on though, fun time begins.

The shape of the penguin makes for very interesting stimulation. Since the vibration goes throughout the toy, any part of it can be used for pleasure. I personally use this only as an external vibrator, because inserting it would be kinda weird in my opinion. It’s not really made for smooth insertion, but whatever floats your boat. I would say it has moderate vibrations that are strong enough to stimulate but not strong enough for quickie sessions. Even though this is a toy that is meant to be played with in the water, I personally choose not to use it in the bathroom. It’s not quiet enough to be used discreetly because of the way bathroom acoustics seem to make everything louder.

Another downside is the fact that the toy is made of rubber. Rubber is very porous and cannot be sterilized. The penguin can be cleaned off with water and soap or toy cleaner, but it’s never going to get REALLY clean. You’re supposed to use a condom with rubber toys (especially when sharing), but take care when putting it on. I broke the first condom I tried putting on my penguin just because I wasn’t careful. Only use water or silicone lubricant with the toy.

Overall, a very very cute toy, but lacking in power and safety.
