The Heart Racer by Cal Exotics is a wand used for clitoral stimulation. It's 8 1/4" long and 2 1/2" in circumference around the handle. The head is a circle with a 1 1/4" diameter. At the center of it, there is a 3/5" heart-shaped protrusion, which is intended to be pressed into the clitoris. The bottom inch twists off to allow you to insert batteries, but it seals up well when you twist it shut, making this toy waterproof.

Because this toy has such a long handle, it's very easy to use on its own if you are laying down, or for either partner to use during sex. It could easily be held in place or rotated in small circles with one hand, which would leave the other free to use a second insertable toy. It could be inserted a little bit as well, because of the long handle, but it is ideal for use on the clitoris. There is a metal (or metallic plastic) band about 3" from the tip of the toy, and I would not want to insert the toy past this because it seems like the groove might be difficult to clean.

To turn it on, you twist the base of the toy. There are no set levels, but the intensity of the vibrations increase steadily as you twist further. At the maximum speed, I would say that it has about 3.5 vrooms. This toy requires 2 AAA batteries, which are not included.

The vibrations are concentrated in the head, but do travel down the shaft a little bit. If you press the head of the Heart Racer too hard into your skin, the vibrations will be somewhat lost. It's a good toy for easy, light clitoral stimulation, and greatly increases the ease of moving something around without having to crane your neck or have your hand in the way.

The Heart Racer is made out of a clear, sparkly plastic, which makes it very safe and easy to clean. We got it in blue, but it also comes in pink, yellow and green. You can see the internal mechanisms inside the toy, which is really neat. It can be wiped down with mild soap and water, antibacterial toy cleaner or an Eden wipe. Because it's nonporous and hypoallergenic, it can be easily used by anyone with allergies or who worries about sharing toys. It can be used with water, oil, or silicone lubricants, which makes it really diverse.

We like to use this during sex to make additional clitoral stimulation possible. Either she or I will hold it in place, depending on who is on top, and move it in quick, circular motions. It works well for her this way, and is easier to use during sex than anything else we have because of the long handle. We find that putting a thin layer of lubricant on the head of the toy when we use it makes it much easier to move around, which increases her pleasure. We haven't found that it's very noisy, but it could very easily be heard by someone in the same room, even under the covers.
