The Extase Elegance can be used anywhere you have a desire for deep, thuddy vibrations, be it internal or external stimulation. Internally, the user will find it may or may not be filling, but those deep vibrations rumble through you and really build up quickly. The vibe doesn't target the g-spot that much, and the ribbed head of the Elegance isn't felt too much internally, either. Externally, the ribbing is great for clitoral stimulation.

This traditional, smaller sized vibrator is non-threatening and easy to use, making it perfect for beginners, but the experienced can still find pleasure in the Elegance. There is a comfort zone for couple play, as well. I personally love the ability it has to tease me into a frenzy for my partner.

The Elegance is very quiet and can be used in any number of places requiring a bit of the discreet.

The Elegance is made from silicone, and the control panel, I'm guessing, is plastic. The silicone has a bit of a drag, offers gentle ribbing and is extremely smooth feeling. I was surprised that the actual silicone was much harder than other silicone toys I have.

The vibrator carries a safety rating of ten, so you know you're getting a quality item that is non-porous, latex free, phthalates free and hypo-allergenic.

I didn't notice any smell to the Elegance, and there is no taste to it. The Elegance is good for beginners and advanced alike.

The Extase Elegance is a traditional vibrator with a sweet, simplistic design. It has a head measuring 1 1/4" at its largest point, with slight tapering at the top to allow for easy insertion. The head is ribbed by grooves in the silicone. The ribbing is just enough to enhance one's pleasure without being overbearing. The vibrator then narrows to the shaft, which is approximately 1" and smooth, only to increase again in size to the full 1 3/8" at the control pad and base.

There are about 5 1/2 insertable inches before reaching the top point of the control pad. The control pad has four buttons for easy use. The left and right buttons turn on and off the unit, as well as increase and decrease the levels of vibrations. The top and bottom buttons control the two motors located in the head and in the base of the vibrator. The buttons are equipped with a blue LED which lights up when pressed and while charging.

At the base of the unit there is a white silicone plug covering the charging port. When ready to charge the unit, you simply pull it out and insert the charging cord. You may charge from your choice of a wall mount charger or a USB connection.

The Elegance is extremely quiet, it is light, comes with its own toy bag, and even with a 9" length it can be easily tossed into a purse or carry bag, making it great for travel.

The Extase Elegance has a simple and easy to use control panel. The vibrations are thuddy in nature. There are two motors, which are responsible for delivering separate vibrations to each point. Vibrations from either motor can be felt through the entire unit, however not nearly as strong as its origination. The top motor is located in the head of the vibe. The base motor is located in the very bottom of the unit behind the control panel. Though the vibrations can be felt through out the vibe, the strongest the base motor has to offer is tucked behind the panel, which is not insertable. You have the option to use both motors at once, the top motor by itself, the bottom motor by itself, or two separate cycles of switching between the two motors (the first being slow causing a pulse feeling, and the second is considerably faster creating an escalated pulse feel).

The motors are controlled by the top and bottom buttons on the control panel. The right and left (plus & minus) buttons control the on/off, as well as the level of vibrations. There is no quick shut off with this vibrator. To turn it on press the plus button. To turn it off, press the minus button until the unit has cycled back down through its vibration settings, eventually getting to the end and stopping. The plus button will provide more vibrations, the minus button less. You can also simply hold down the plus or minus buttons to increase or decrease vibrations with ease. Having the more thuddy vibrations instead of the high buzzy ones makes this vibrator truly elegant and wonderful for when you crave that deeper intensity.

This vibrator has its own locking system, as well. This can aide in traveling to ensure the Elegance doesn't accidentally get bumped and turned on. To lock the unit, simply hold down the top and bottom (motor control) buttons on the control panel for five seconds. The vibe will light up and then go dark, and it is locked. To unlock the unit, repeat and hold the buttons until the LED lights back up. You can also unlock the Elegance by placing it to charge.

The Extase Elegance is rechargeable! No batteries needed. The Elegance recharges fairly quickly and holds the charge for several hours of play time. The wall charger can be used anywhere, but it is the USB cable I found most appealing. I can let it charge while I'm on the computer, and it doesn't take up a wall socket that something else may be using. During the charging process the blue LED pulses, and when fully charged the LED automatically shuts off.

The Extase Elegance is made from silicone, so care is really easy. Simply wash with mild antibacterial soap and water, or you can use a toy cleaner. For sterilizing the unit, you can use a 10% bleach solution. This vibe is not waterproof, and with motors inside it can not be boiled or placed in a dishwasher.

When cleaning, be sure to pay attention to the ribbing, as well as the connection of silicone to the plastic control panel. Lubes and body fluids can gather there.

It is recommended that only water based lubes be used with the Elegance.

Be sure to keep your Elegance in the provided toy bag or the unique box it arrived in for storage. Silicone may not react well with other toys without being protected.

The packaging for the Extase Elegance is actually really nice. It does have the item plastered all over it, so it is not discreet by any means. However, the Elegance comes in a heavy duty, two compartment box. The top is open and snuggles the Elegance into its design so that it doesn't bounce around. Included in this section is a multilingual pamphlet showing Extase's products. The lower compartment is a drawer that you pull out and open. Inside here you will find the USB charging cable and wall unit, a gray suede feeling toy bag with a purple liner, and lastly the instruction manual nicely wrapped in its own cocoon. Though it is not discreet and a bit large, the box can very easily be used for storage and expected to hold up well.

The instruction manual is fairly in depth, going over how to charge the Elegance, how to use the vibrator, how to care for and maintain the vibe, and there is a trouble shooting section. This, too, is in several languages.

This is a very nice traditional vibrator. The quality is obvious, but it simply falls short in performance. I enjoy using the Elegance to build myself up, but I can't finish with this one alone. There just is not enough to push me over, and I feel like the base motor is almost useless on its own. I would recommend this one for couples that enjoy teasing and like to build up their partner in foreplay. I'd also recommend the Elegance for beginners that want a quality silicone vibe but don't need the girth or a lot of vroom to reach ecstasy.

This was actually my second Extase Elegance. The first one I was not able to charge, which made me hope I had just gotten a dud and that the overall product wasn't going to be crappy. After receiving a replacement, I was greeted with that lovely blue LED, and my hopes returned to positive thoughts.

The vibe is really nice, despite not being as big as I would have liked. I was impressed it wasn't buzzy but had deeper thudding vibrations. The two settings which pulsed between the motors intrigued me, but using the bottom motor alone was frustrating and lost on me personally.

After finding a sweet groove with the Elegance, I gotta say it is pleasant. I enjoyed thrusting with it and then just letting it stay in me to feel the vibrations while I stimulated my clitoris. I couldn't manage to finish with the Elegance no matter how built up I was. But I enjoyed trying over and over again, managing to build myself up higher and higher. I did find it annoying that no matter how much I pushed that plus button, I couldn't get any more intensity in the vroom department. I was really expecting the vibrations to be stronger.

I don't know how the control pad is connected with the motors inside the silicone, but I didn't like how fluids get around the control pad. I am concerned eventually body fluids or lube could get inside the unit, but at this time it doesn't appear to be an issue.

So I've given this one 3 stars, mainly because it is a nice vibe but too pricey for what it can do. I do like it as a decent teaser, but the Elegance simply won't be the one for me to pull out at solo time.
