For me, this is where it all began. I bought this on a whim since I had been curious about vibrators for a while and was finally ready to try one. To this day, I still love my Little Pearls vibrator and keep it close at all times. It's cute and gets the job done! Not only does it provide great vibrations on your clitoris or in your vagina, it also feels amazing on your nipples.

This toy can be used for solo play or teasing a partner to set the mood. It's even better when inserted and used in conjunction with a clit vibe. Absolutely divine. Make sure you have plenty of time to play, because once you start, you won't want to stop!

While this vibrator can be used by anyone, it is definitely more of a beginner's toy. I would highly recommend this for anyone who is curious about vibrators but isn't ready to invest in a more expensive one. It's also perfect for anyone who prefers more gentle play.

The small size makes it ideal for travel, although it's probably not a toy that you'll want to carry in your purse on a day-to-day basis.

The silky texture is most welcoming for anyone who is nervous about using a toy for the first time, or doesn't like to play rough. However, the down side is that it does not add any extra stimulation, which is a definite con for some. I was happy to find that, because it's made of plastic, there did not seem to be any foul smell upon initially opening the toy, something that can be a big problem with other vibrators.

There's only one problem I've encountered with the material of the toy; when play gets a little too enthusiastic, the vibrator can become fairly heated.

Little Pearls vibrator has a cute, simple design which is part of the reason why it is one of the least intimidating vibrators I've encountered. The shape is perfect for vaginal play, as it goes in and out easily with no fuss. This vibe is on the thin side, which is great for gentle stimulation or beginner's play. However, after time the smaller size can make the vibrator seem boring, so I would not recommend this for more advanced users or anyone who prefers some girth.

The smooth texture can be a problem after playing for a while. I've had problems with it sliding out by itself mid play if I get too wet, which can be very annoying in the moment though easily solved.

While there are definitely more discreet vibes on the market, this one is still easy to hide. Just put it in a bag and tuck it away in a drawer. It can also fit into larger purse pockets or in any suitcase for on-the-go fun.

The dial control is perfect for beginners who are just getting a feel for how sex toys work. The different intensity levels are fairly distinct and let you work your way up from a tickle to orgasmic bliss. Being someone who prefers rougher play, I found the highest setting to be particularly rewarding. Since the dial is located at the base, it's convenient for anyone who prefers shallow penetration. Unfortunately, if you get a little over-zealous in your play, it's very easy to accidentally hit the dial and lose your rhythm. Fortunately, this has only happened to me a couple of times, so it is not too much of a problem.

I was pleasantly surprised at the strength of the vibrations given the price, as well as the fact that it's not too noisy; just two more factors that make this such a fabulous first vibrator. I've also used this vibe in the shower with no problems, a great feat since I dorm and share a bathroom with other people. Still, I was able to slip this toy in my robe pocket, have a little shower fun, and get out with none the wiser!

Since the Little Pearls vibe is made of plastic, it's extremely easy to care for. All you have to do is clean it with water and antibacterial soap, and you're good to go. Wiping it down with toy cleaner will do the trick as well. However, it should still be covered when sharing with someone other than a spouse/boyfriend/girlfriend/or other regular partner as plastic cannot be fully sterilized like other materials. Just for the sake of keeping it clean, I'd recommend storing it in something, even if only in a plastic bag. Another benefit of plastic is that it is compatible with most lubricants whether they are water, oil, or silicone based.
