Cute and surprisingly effective!

Overall, I love Birthstones, but it's not a toy that I'd necessarily find myself heading to again and again. It gets the job done and is surprisingly strong for the small size and low price tag, but if you already own other vibrating toys, it doesn't really have any unique characteristics other than the pleasing aesthetics.

Pros

Quiet, pretty, only takes one battery, travel-friendly

Cons

Non-adjustable vibrations, not exactly a life-changer

extremely useful review

Use

Birthstones is a small vibrator that works great for clitoral or nipple stimulation. The vibrations are not adjustable and are surprisingly strong considering its small size and single battery power source, so if you'd like something where you can change the speed, you may want to look elsewhere.

Material / Texture

Birthstones is made from a hard plastic that has no odor. It is extremely smooth all over and doesn't require lubrication (if you did want to use some, it is compatible with oil, silicone, and water-based lubes). There is a colored ring around the bottom that seals off the battery compartment, making it waterproof.

- No odor
- Smooth

Design / Shape / Size

Birthstones is a small vibrator, just under 4" long, and is thus discreet and easily-hidden. The plastic is all white and the band around the bottom is the color of whatever birthstone you select. What makes this a particularly attractive (and unique!) vibrator is a lovely gem on the bottom of the base. The tip comes to a round point and feels great if you place it directly on your clit.

The toy is safe for vaginal insertion, but I don't know that most people would find it very exciting, since it's so thin (about the width of a marker) and not very long.

- Beginner
- Discreet look/design

Functions / Performance / Controls

The control mechanism is located at the bottom of Birthstones, near the base, and is very easy to turn on and off (just twist). I have not found it to accidentally turn off easily if it is twisted all the way, which has been a problem in other vibrators I've tried that have similar controls.

The vibrations are very quiet and you could probably even use them under a blanket with someone sleeping in the same room (if they're a heavy sleeper!). I don't know that I've ever owned a vibrator this powerful that was so quiet.

It is waterproof and I have not had any issues with water getting into the battery compartment when I used it in the shower a couple of times.

- Discreet sound
- Easy to use

Care and Maintenance

Birthstones is easily cleaned with water and a mild soap. There are no ridges or bumps that make it difficult to clean.

It is made of plastic and compatible with oil, water, and silicone-based lubes.

- Easy to clean
- Easy to store

Follow-up commentary I still like it 1 month after original review

I use this one as a warm up toy pretty frequently. I occasionally wish it had different speeds, or maybe even different vibration patterns. It gets the job done though, especially when I combine it with internal stimulation. Definitely one that was worth the money, especially at such a low price tag.
