The use for a vibrator normally is for one thing: To sexually stimulate a part of your body. From nipples, to your clit, to perhaps inside of yourself. You can use this to stimulate your clit for foreplay, or to an orgasm. Perhaps give your breasts and nipples a little tease; make your nipples hard.

This toy is probably better for someone starting off on a vibrator. I have to admit, it didn't really stimulate me much, maybe I'm just used to stronger vibrations now. It is rather loud, so I don't suggest it for those who don't want a bit of a loud vibe. My husband said it was louder than my other one, but he couldn't hear it through the bedroom door, with the window fan in the living room window, and the tv off. So it's sort of quiet, just loud to the person using it.

You can use it anytime, anywhere if you're that kinky, if not then around your home is just fine. It's even waterproof, so you can have some bathtime fun!

The Candycane vibe is made out of plastic. There is an extremely faint plastic-like smell, but that's only if you put it RIGHT against your nose. Other than that, you can't even smell it. The feel is very smooth, which to me, is rather appealing. There is also no taste (don't ask why I even tasted it).
This is better for those who don't like texture, or those JUST starting out.

There is no texture to add extra stimulation, but just turn the vibrations on and you're good to go!

The design is indeed like a candy cane. It's a white vibrator with blue swirls going up to the tip, where it's capped with blue. You are unable to see inside the vibrator, which to some, may actually be rather good. The bottom of it has a dark blue cap that helps seal out water to make it waterproof.

The shape of the candycane vibrator is the traditional style. It comes to a rounded tip with the cap on the end to screw off and put the batteries in, then screw back on to turn on. Anyone from a first time user, to the most advanced will be able to use this vibe.

It's bigger than my other vibrator, but not by much. It's not intimidating to me, but it might be for a new user. Anyone who looks at it will probably realize that, hey, you got a vibrator. The design doesn't throw off what it really is, so I don't suggest leaving your vibrator out unless you want someone to know you're into sex toys. As for hiding, just put it in a drawer, or back in its original packaging.

This vibrator is a multi-speed twist dial function. You twist the on/off button to your desired speed and have fun. It's just the tip of the cap so don't twist the entire thing, you'll uncap it and may lose your batteries where it's so easy for them to just slide right out. The vibrations are located the most in the tip of the toy and around the tip. It's easily able to be used to stimulate your clit and nipples and anywhere else.
Personally, my favorite part is obviously when it's on high. That's the best as far as I'm concerned. The vibrations are strong enough for a light tease to the clit.
It's easy enough to use, and it may not be very convienant for those who don't want to put their other hand down there just to turn it up or down, but it works. It's not really that noisy; like I said before, hubby couldn't hear it through our closed bedroom door, but it is a bit loud.
The waterproof part stood up to the test as I dunked it underwater in my sink while cleaning it and allowed it to vibrate. It didn't lose any vibrations and it came up dry inside. It also lasted a while for me, which is good.

Plastic toys are easy to take care of, and because of the fact that this one in particular is waterproof, you can wash the entire vibrator. For me, like my other toys, I just put it in my sink and wash it with the other ones with my soap and hot water. It comes clean and I'm alright from any infections.
Or if you prefer, you can wipe it down with isopropyl alcohol, but I'd rather use my way to do it.

To store, you can put it back in its package and put it where you put your other toys, in a drawer, storage, or wherever it is you store your toys. So far, my plastic toys are able to be stored together with a silicone cock ring and glass dildo. So you probably will be alright.

As for lubes. Don't worry about it. Oil based, water based, and silicon based can be used for this toy.

The Waterproof Candycane Vibrator came in a see through thin but long package with a small square piece of paper at the top saying: WATERPROOF CandyCane MULTI-SPEED, and a little square that says it's from California Exotic Novelties. If anyone sees that, that would know for a fact what it is.

There was no instructions, but when you open the cap to put in batteries, put your finger in first and pull out a small curled sheet of paper that shows you which direction to put the batteries in. I nearly didn't see that.

You can indeed use the package as storage. To open it just pull the plastic apart, and take it out or put it in, then close it again. Though you may want to get rid of the piece of paper that tells you what it is, it likes to fall out a lot.

You can use it at as a gift, but I think the vibrator shaped part would drive me crazy trying to wrap.

If you're looking for a vibrator that's strong, this one may not be it, and if you're looking for one that's quiet, this definitly won't be it.

I have to admit, I hoped it would have been stronger than what it is. It didn't measure up to my other vibrator in terms of the strength of the vibrations. I actually got bored waiting to climax the first time using this, but the next time I did manage it; it just wasn't as strong of a orgasm as it is with my other vibe.

The sound also kinda put me off, and made me wonder if anyone would hear it outside my window, but if they do and comment, I will be sure to ask them why they were listening in the first place.

Other than the fact it's louder and not as strong, I like it, I plan on keeping it because I think my other is about to die.
