When I fist got the Sparkle vibe, I was excited to use it. I liked that it was sparkly--it had a girly feel to it and something excited me about its small, sleek shape. I got it out of the packaging, put its battery in, and when I turned it on to medium speed, it was quite noisy and I could even hear the motor banging around inside. The noise dulled when I inserted the vibrator into my vagina, but not as much as I would like.

It felt great when I used it on my clit, but the hard plastic did not feel good when I inserted it into my vagina. After two uses, it started to not be as powerful, and putting a new battery in did not make it any better.

I decided to switch it up and try it on my anus and it actually gave me good pleasure. The vibrations were felt all over and the sleek plastic helped with insertion because it did not snag. I also thought that using lube while inserting vaginally would make the pleasure more intense, but instead it just felt like it was blocking all the possible sensation that it could give me. I just didn't seem to win with this toy!

So after giving up on it, I put it on my dresser, and with my luck, it rolled off and fell on the floor, cracking the body of it. I would recommend this if you are a beginner and are looking for something to get you used to the vibrations and don't have enough money to buy a really good vibrator.

If I ever need a gift for a friend who is wondering about vibrators and what they are all about, I would get this for her, only because it is inexpensive and is good for when you are learning about vibrators.
