I was surprised to find an assignment in my cart without requesting it, but those are always the best kind of surprises! When I opened the box I was greeted with a cute, dainty little vibrator. The Twisties #3 is 3rd in a series of smaller, differently shaped, vibrators made by Doc Johnson. There are two others that are pink and purple.

The Twisties #3 is graded bulb shape, looking much like a set of anal beads or an anal toy. The color is called “dusty rose”, which is a nice muted pinkish tone. After opening the box, there was a faint smell associated with PVC/rubber, but that was remedied by giving it a quick washing with soap. Upon inspection I noticed that the toy had not quite come out of the mold all the way, as there were little pieces of PVC string, right out of the box. Again this can be fixed by a quick washing before use.

For those of you who want to get right to it, Doc Johnson has been nice enough to include 2 batteries. The Twisties #3 only takes one of the N-1 batteries, so you will be able to save the other for later. The vibrator is operated by turning the ring at the base. It only has one “speed”, though you can turn it further for more power. The vibrations are fairly strong. They won’t knock you off your feet, but they definitely pack a punch. The noise level is fine. I would feel comfortable using it with others in the next room. It is very light weight and can fit in the palm of my hand.

In addition to washing the Twisties #3 before first use, I would also suggest putting a condom over it, as PVC can be porous and difficult to clean. Again, clean with antibacterial soap and water or a sex-toy cleaner. Lubes that are safe to use on with this toy are silicone and water-based, but make sure to coordinate with whatever condoms you use. PVC is water resistant, but the Twisties #3 is waterproof, though I would be careful as it’s still an electrical toy. Make sure to pull the battery out when cleaning.

This is a cute little toy and I will update with an experience section as soon as my partner and I are able to play!
