I was excited to try the Pure Vibes Silicone #69. I had yet to try a toy that looks realistic, except for the color; it only comes in pink. I had an easier time imagining it inserted, because it resembles what was made to go there. It also has vein-like textures on it. It is the first toy I have tried made out of TPR silicone. The name of this toy comes across as pure silicone, but the safety rating lets you know that it is in fact TPR silicone before you get it.

I myself do not feel this is a beginner toy. I consider myself more toward the beginner end of the toy use spectrum than the advanced. This is the biggest diameter toy I have tried; it's 1 5/8". Personally I found that for a toy it was a little uncomfortable, especially during solo play. I recommend working up to this toy during your play.

I also have had a chance to use this during play with my man. It was a little more comfortable this way, but I foresee the Pure Vibes Silicone #69 coming out to play rarely, due to its size. However, my significant other was very excited to be able to use this on me.

The mechanics of this toy are not complicated at all. It takes two AA batteries, which are not included. The battery compartment is just a regular screw-on cap. The vibration dial is on top of the cap. You turn the dial and the vibrations steadily increase. I found it to be a pretty strong vibe. The Pure Vibes Silicone #69 is waterproof. There was a slight smell when holding it up to smell it. It is 9 inches long with 7 1/2" insertable, and of course it has an ample diameter of 1 5/8".

Being that this is made of TPR silicone, you should use a condom if sharing. Use toy cleaner or soap and water to clean. Use water based lubes. This toy does attract hair. I received this in exchange for my review. If you like your toys on the bigger side it would be well worth the $25.99 that it costs. This item is definitely not discreet, there's no doubt about its purpose.

I will say that this toy does give a very full feeling. It seemed to work best for me when used along with oral. I did, however, enjoy this clitorally during solo play.
