The Desire is a great waterproof submergible traditional vibrator. It is a toy for those who like the feeling of ribs and contours. The ribs make it a toy that can turn you on even when it is turned off. The Desire is somewhat flexible at the bottom of the first set of ribs but is still rigid enough for thrusting. There are three constant vibration speeds. I find the lack of vibration patterns to be the biggest drawback.
The Desire is wonderful for internal vaginal play. Definitely for those who enjoy texture in their toys as the ribs are easily felt when playing internally. I enjoy the feeling of the ribs but some may not. The bullet is in the tip and there is some flexibility at the end of the first set of ribs. The rest of the shaft is rigid as it is where the two AA batteries are held. The mix of flexibility and rigidity is what I enjoyed most.
The Desire can also be used for clitoral play. Using the side of the toy to rub the ribs along you externally is very enjoyable. The Desire can also be used on the nipples or on other parts of the body.
The vibrations are strong and rumbly. The drawback for me is a lack of vibration patterns.
Made of body safe silicone with a soft brushed texture. The Desire is waterproof and submergible which makes it great for playing in the tub or shower. Also makes cleaning a snap. It does not lose power in the water or when pressure is applied to it as some toys do.
There is a lot of texture in the deep ridges encircling the Desire. The ridges are what make this toy stand out from the rest of the Fleur de Lis line. The toy also has some flexibility at the bottom of the first set of ribs. These are the two factors that led me to selecting this toy. I do not find rigid plastic vibrators to do it for me. The Desire has just the right amount of flexibility paired with the right amount of rigidity. The texture does create drag so you will want to use lube when using this toy. As with any silicone toys do not use anything but water-based lubes. Silicone lubes will breakdown and damage your silicone toys.
Silicone does pick up lint and dust. Be sure to wash before and after use. The presentation case is great for keeping it lint free between uses.
The Desire is made of a silicone shaft and a plastic base. EdenFantasys rates the silicone a 10 (highest) for safety and the plastic an 8 for safety. The material guide to silicone can be found at [https://www.edenfantasys.com/info/sexuality-articles/silicone] and the material guide to Plastic can be found at [https://www.edenfantasys.com/info/sexuality-articles/plastic].
The design of the Desire is perfect for those looking for a traditional vibrator with good texture. The Desire comes in two vibrant colors (Hot Pink and Deep Purple). I choose the Purple as it is my favorite color and the color of royalty. The Desire is a for those of royalty on a budget. It is very well made. The materials used are durable and of high quality. It is very good for those who are on a budget and looking for a moderately priced toy. I find silicone so much better than the hard plastic toys.
The shape is a traditional vibrator with a slightly pointed head followed by three ribs, a slender middle and three more ribs, a straight area and ending with a white plastic base.
The batteries are placed in a plastic sleeve and then inserted into the Desire.
There is a notch that the battery sleeve fits into. The sleeve keeps the batteries from vibrating and being noisy during use.
The display case is very stylish and can be used to display your Desire on a shelf. The case keeps the Desire upright and keeps it from touching the case which keeps it clean between uses. This is important as silicone toys pick up lint, dust and basically anything else if left out.
There are three speeds (Low, Medium and High). The Desire is not complicated so directions are not really needed. You cycle through the speeds by pressing the button located at the bottom of the base. I prefer this location for insertable toys as it makes changing speeds while thrusting a breeze. You do need to cycle through all three settings to turn it off which is a drawback. There are no patterns or functions which I feel is the biggest limitation of this toy and what keeps me from giving it a higher overall rating.
The Desire is waterproof and submergible which makes it a great toy for tub play. There is an O-ring on the outside of the battery compartment to keep the water out.
The Desire is very easy to clean. As it is fully submersible you do not have to worry about being very careful when cleaning. The silicone can be cleaned with soap and water. Since it has ribs, just pay a bit of attention to remove any lube from the ridges.
Only water-based lubes should be used with the Desire as the shaft is made of 100% Silicone. As with all silicone toys, never use silicone based lubes, store next to other silicone toys or leave in direct sunlight. Each of these can break down and destroy the silicone on your toy.
The Desire comes in a domed clear plastic case with a raised Fleur de Lis and hearts on each side. There is a a pink band with Evolved Love is Back on one side. The other side of the band lists the following:
100% pure Silicone
3 Speeds
Waterproof
Push button controls
Phithalate-free & body safe
Maximum Intensity minimal noise
There is a purple plastic base with Waterproof Silicone Desire, Evolvednovelties.com on it. The bottom screws off. When you remove the Desire it is attached to the base with a clear plastic ring that screws it securely to the base. You then unscrew the white base of the desire and remove the clear plastic ring. I just reattach the ring to the base of the case to keep it from getting lost. At the top of the clear plastic dome a 4" purple nylon ribbon with pink stitching is attached. At the end of the ribbon is a Silver metal finish with a Silver Fleur de Lis attached.
The case is wonderful if you like to display your toys on a shelf. It is also good for gift giving. However those who like to be a bit more discreet will not find this the optimal storage container.
I really like the Desire. Definitely a royal French kiss on the lips. It has good deep vibrations and the ribbing makes it a fun toy even without the power being on. This is my first silicone toy and I will never go back to hard plastic again.
The Desire is a great toy for both internal and external play. I love the color and the feel. Silicone is a much better product than the hard plastic and well worth the extra money.
Follow-up commentaryI still like it5 months after original review
This is still a great toy. I do not use it as much as I prefer the more bendable g-spot Toyfriend vibes that I have. However it is still at the top of the toybox. When I am looking for that the traditional vibe feeling, I pull out the Fleur de Lis. Wonderful quality and I enjoy the textured feeling for thrusting. Lube is necessary with this as there is a lot of drag to the silicone. I would purchase this vibe again.
