I think my obsession with purple is clear to all by now, that is one reason I bought this Cupid Love Wand. The wrist cord with heart attached, also caught my eye. I do seem to like things that have some kind of uniqueness behind them.
The Cupid's Love Wand is going to become another of my favorites. It is silky smooth to the touch. This Love Wand is non-intimidating in both size and girth, the base tapers to a bullet like end. This is one of the quieter vibrators that I own, it barely makes any noise at all, even on its highest settings. The sound would be difficult to hear under the covers, it is a cross between a cellphone on vibrate and a small electric razor (the quieter version of razor).
I love that as gentle as this vibrator looks and feels, it does have 10 different vibration settings. This sets it apart from some of the others I have tried. The variations in the settings gives a sample of everything for everyone. The vibrations also are not overwhelmingly strong. There are some that I like more than others, such as I love setting number four (step) and setting number five (Hi-Lo), they are the two I get the most stimulation from vaginally. For Clitoral, nipple, and other sensitive areas I seem to like either the high, medium, or low vibration. The vibrations are perfect for me at all of the above settings.
The two settings I care the least for settings seven (High Pulse) and eight (Low Steeplechase). I think it has to do with the abrupt stopping or pause that those two settings have. It also could be that I am not advanced enough to appreciate those sensations. Each time my husband or I hit one of those settings while cycling through, I end up having a weird reaction to it, a knee-jerk reaction. In those split seconds, I will bolt upright thinking we broke it, that does not go over well in keeping with the moment.
The wonderful thing about the Cupid's Love Wand is that it has a memory, so being able to semi-avoid the settings, I care not to experience, can be accomplished. The wrist strap that comes attached to the toy can only be removed by cutting it off, but neither of us wants to do that, because that is one of the reasons I bought it. There are two things we end up doing with it, we either use the wrist strap or we bunch it in the hand we control the base with. It does make a great safety feature when I shower and want to get into the mood.
I like that the controls are simple, one button turns it on and off, while the other cycles through the vibration settings. This is where placement of the wrist strap comes in handy. I always put the wrist strap on the wrist that is closest to the on/off button. I have my husband do the same, this way we don't have any mishaps on switching settings (or at least we don't). Another way to avoid this could be remembering the placement of the tab that the wrist cord goes through, if the tab is facing up-the on/off switch is on the left. If the tab is facing downward the on/off switch is on the right, of coarse this is only helpful if it is to dark to see.
I would recommend this viberator for beginners, it is probably to tame and simple for advanced users to really enjoy. Novices to vibrators can appreciate the sampling of settings, easy of use, and the smoothness when the vibrator is in motion. This would be the first vibrator that I could recommend for some anal play, because the wrist cord could act as a retrieval cord, but please use caution if you do.
I am going to give one more quick rundown of the settings to try and give a clear picture as to what they are:
1) High Vibration (self-explanatory)- but steady
2) Medium Vibration (self-explanatory)- but steady
3) Low Vibrating (^v^v^v^v^)- kind of zigzag or slight up and down
4) Step (- --- - --- -) short long short
5) Hi-Lo (- - --- - - --- - - ---) short, short, long
6) Dip - like walking down stairs-slightly increasing (112223333444444)
7) High Pulse- Starts low, increases to high, stops for a second, and repeats
8) High Steeplechase- Starts low, increases to high, stops for a second, then goes from high to low, stops, then repeats pattern starting with low.
9) Low Steeplechase- similar to low pulse
10) Low Pulse- steady
