This vibrator has no bells or whistles, but it does the job! It is just a simple, easy to use, a no-frills vibrator that is ideal for anyone- beginners or advanced users just looking for something simple. The insertable length is 6.5in, which is fairly average. The circumference is 4in, which is a little on the larger size of average, but still a good size. There is no texture to it, just a sleek, smooth, shiny exterior. While the size may seem slightly intimidating for a brand-new user, the sleek look and gently tapered end plus the ease of use still make it a perfect addition for anyone.

The Essential Glider is made of plastic. The texture is smooth and hard. There is no odor, and it is non-porous, making it ideal for beginners, as well as regular users.

The Essential Glider is a basic vibrator. It's sleek and smooth, and the bottom end unscrews to allow for batteries. There is an easy to use dial on the end- simply twist gently to turn on to the desired speed, and twist the opposite way to turn it back off. I would not consider this toy discreet, as it is a bright, shiny silver color. It definitely stands out, and most people would realize what it was right away. The size and shape of the Glider seemed fairly average to me, but it might be a little intimidating for someone who has never used a vibrator before.

The Essential Glider has a dial at the bottom end that you twist to turn on. There is only one vibration pattern, but the speed is adjustable. The dial is easy to twist on and off, so the perfect speed can be obtained. In my opinion, this toy is LOUD. The higher speeds feel great, but it is definitely a very loud, obvious sound.

This toy is made of plastic, which makes it a snap to clean. Simply use hot water and antibacterial soap, or wipe down with isopropyl alcohol. You can use any lubricant with it as well - oil, water, or silicone-based will all work just fine. Because the on/off dial is on the end of the toy, I remove the batteries before washing and storing, and I just toss it in my secret treasure chest until I want to play again.
