I really don't care for this toy. It is rather weak and does not get the job done. I would only recommend this toy to beginners and those who have a very sensitive genitals.
This little dolphin is meant to be used as vibrator- either for clitoral stimulation or vaginal stimulation. This toy is suitable for beginners and for those who are incredibly sensitive to genital stimulation. If you are an advanced user of toys or require a little more power from your toys, this toy is not for you. I felt it was incredibly weak and that I could not get off on the vibrations alone. I had to use another toy to assist me reach an orgasm. This toy can be used for either solo play, foreplay or as a helper when you have sex with a partner.
One of the few redeeming factors about this toy is that it is made of silicone, which ranks 10 on the Eden Safety Scale. It did not have a smell. The toy is shaped like a dolphin with little flippers decorated on the side. I enjoyed the decorations a little bit but overall, felt they were not entirely too stimulating. The texture is good for beginners who want to feel a little more than smoothness, but would not overwhelm them. I personally had no issue with the texture itself; I personally prefer smooth toys over toys with lots of texture. The toy can be used with a condom and water based lube. It is not a good idea to use silicone based lube though.
The toy is shaped like a dolphin, so if you get weirded out by animal shaped sex toys, I would not recommend this toy for you. However, if you are a beginner and wish to add a cute little animal to your collection, I would say to purchase it. It is a total of six inches long, with an insertable length of 4 1/2 inches. The circumference measures up to and 4 3/4 inches and has a total diameter of 1 3/8 inches. It weighs 0.4 lbs. I thought it was a very cute design. It does not have the look of a sex toy, so if you are looking for discreetness, this is it. This is the kind of toy that if you are in a hurry, you can simply slip this into your purse and you are set. I would not recommend this toy to advance users.
The toy's vibrations are turned on by using a dial at the base of the toy. Instead of the toy having just an on/ off switch, the toy was capable of reaching many different levels of intensity. I had to turn the toy all the way up, however, so I could enjoy the vibrations- and I still considered them weak. I was bit annoyed with this because I had to pause what I was doing and consciously make an effort to adjust the toy so that I could properly pleasure myself. One plus to the toy is that it is not very noisy; if you ever so desire to use this in a more public environment, you could probably get away with it. I also liked how it was waterproof, do not fear bringing this dolphin into the tub with you! When I did use it in the water, it still had rather weak vibrations still and did not perform as I well as I was hoping it to.
Because this toy is made of silicone, it is incredibly easy to take care of. Simply use either toy cleaner, wipes or an antibacterial substance and the toy is cleaned. Also, because it is made of silicone, I haven't had to deal with the toy attracting dirt or lint (which is always a pain!) It is smoother texture, so it is not really an issue to have to remove dirt from crevices, etc. I like to store it in my toy box, which carries the rest of my other toys. This toy is appropriate to use with water based lube, but avoid using it with silicone based lube.

Follow-up commentaryI've started to like it more2 months after original review
When I first wrote a review on this, I don't think I was being totally fair to my Dolphin. I have really appreciated the fact that he is made of silicone and is a great partner for when I'm in need a narrow toy with lighter vibrations. We've become good friends despite a rocky start.
The Dolphin has vibrations that are slightly weaker than a traditional vibe, so he is good for someone who is looking for a gentler option. He's pretty cheap and very body safe and I do enjoy our shower sessions together. He's a little bit weaker in the bath, but only by a couple notches. Overall, I'm very pleased that we have become better acquainted.

Thanks for the review, soker1! Remember not to suggest toys to beginners just because they are weak, because someone who chooses this toy and doesn't like it might think that they don't like sex toys, and not know where to look next. Suggest it to folks with very sensitive genitals, and instead, for beginners suggest something with a wide range of settings, so they can see what they like.
And when you say they vibrations are weak, do you have any comparisons? What do you consider a strong toy to be, or what's the minimum amount of vibration that works for you?
Thanks very much, it was a super-informative review!

@antipova thanks for the suggestion; i'll bear that in mind when i write my next review. when i think of powerful, i'll compare it to one of my favorite toys, the fairy baby wand. A traditional vibrator usually has enough power to get me off though. i hope this helps you out a bit!
