The Heart Racer by California Exotics is a great clitoral vibrator for the price. It’s powerful, has easy to use controls, and can be used for shower time! The heart racer was one of my first vibrators and I really liked it. It’s really great for beginners. There are a lot of colors to choose from making everybody happy! Its cute yet effective design makes for fun play time. You can use it for erogenous zones, but it is especially great for clitoral stimulation.

Please don't use the Heart Racer anally! It could definitely get lost up there. You can even use the Heart Racer vaginally as well, but I prefer as a clitoral vibe.

The Heart racer is made out of sparkly plastic. The plastic looks like it has glitter all over it. On Eden Fantasy’s safety scale it scores an 8. It’s hypoallergenic and latex free. I didn’t really notice any noticeable smell when I received the Heart Racer. The plastic is smooth up the shaft. It is hard and not bendable anywhere. At the head of the toy, there is a textured heart. The heart barely sticks out of the vibrator. For me, it’s not really a lot of texture but it might be for some. I really like it for pinpoint stimulation; you can also use the other side, which is nice and smooth. I don’t think the texture is really a deal breaker on this toy.

The heart racer’s design is very effective for what it’s meant to do: provide clitoral stimulation. The long handle leads to the head where the vibrations are located. It is 7 ½” long, has a circumference of 2 ¼” and a diameter of ½”. It’s a great shape, is a small size, and very light at 3.5 oz. It’s very easy to work with and hold. At the bottom of the toy, there is a screw cap where you put the batteries in. The plastic is see-through so you can see the motor and the batteries. The motor is located directly underneath the heart.

The size is great for travel and for hiding it in general! As I mentioned before, you can use the heart shaped side or you can use the smoother side on the back. There are a lot of options with this toy. The size is suitable for beginners or advanced users.

The motor for the heart racer is located right under the head of the vibrator offering more power for the clitoris or other area you please. The vibrator takes two AAA batteries. I normally don’t like AAA battery powered vibrators because they tend to not be as powerful. However, this toy is pretty powerful and will please most people. I tend to need more power to orgasm and this toy does a good job. Granted, I’ve felt more powerful toys but for the price it works well.

Located at the bottom of the handle is the screw cap where you have a dial. With the dial, you simply turn it to increase vibrations. Unfortunately, there are not any patterns of vibration. If this bothers you, don’t get this toy. I don’t like patterns anyway so it hasn’t bothered me. The turn wheel is really easy to use and you can turn it off really fast if you hear someone coming.



The heart racer does have a bit of noise for being so powerful. It’s almost as loud as a cell phone vibrating. It can’t be heard through a closed door, but definitely through covers.

I really liked this toy for shower time! It’s really small and easy to use (no buttons!). It feels really good with water cascading down around the vibrator. I didn’t find that any water had leaked into the toy so the screw cap does a good job of keeping water out.

The heart racer is fairly easy to clean because it is waterproof. I simply wash mine in warm soap and water. Fluid can sometimes tend to get stuck around the textured heart but it’s not too hard to get off with a little effort. Since this toy is plastic, you can use a water or silicone based lubricant. Since it’s so small, it’s really easy to store. I keep mine in a plastic baggy.

Like most California Exotic’s toys, the heart racer was put in a plastic case with a semi-nude woman on the front. It’s not discreet, but it is a cheaper product. You can’t really re-use it but it is recyclable! There aren’t any instructions, but it is fairly easy to figure out.
