On paper, the Bcute classic has some great things going for it: the economical price, adjustable speed, lovely velvety silicone exterior, discreet size, quiet operation, and… well, cuteness.

In person, it still has all of that going for it. The silicone portion of the vibe is quite firm through most of its length, but the tip is a little more squishy and flexible. The silicone attracts a little lint, but not much, and has remained surprisingly fur-free in a house full of shedding cats. The firmness of the toy makes it easy to vary the pressure as much as you like. Other reviewers have mentioned seams on their Bcute, but the silicone on mine was completely smooth straight from the box, so your mileage may vary. The adjustable speed dial can be a little bit finicky, and the best way to get anything in the lower end of the vibrator's range of vibrations is to dial a higher intensity and then back it down carefully, since the vibrator doesn't always turn on right at the lower end of the range. The Bcute is certainly one of the quietest vibrators I've played with to date, practically inaudible at lower speeds, and easily muffled with either a light blanket or a closed door.

Unfortunately, I found its performance to be underwhelming. The Bcute's vibrations are very understated and gentle, even at its highest settings, and some female users may find that they are insufficiently stimulating to bring about orgasm, regardless of pressure, speed, or placement. I generally have an easy time reaching orgasm, so I was really quite surprised by how little in that direction the Bcute classic did for me. Because of the ease with which I generally reach orgasm, and because the Bcute has consistently failed to get me anywhere close, I'm certainly hesitant to recommend it to other women who may have more difficulty with reaching orgasm.

(I say female users because my partner enjoyed the Bcute both on his perineum and laid along the underside of the shaft quite a bit. The gentle vibrations that I found so unimpressive were definitely pleasurable for him, especially when combined with a second vibrator or a blowjob. By itself, the Bcute wasn't enough to bring him to orgasm, but it definitely enhanced his experience in a way it didn't enhance mine.)
