The best use for this is when you want to be discreet. It's only for clitoral stimulation. It works great for those with roommates or those who travel often. The best occasion? Whenever you're feeling horny.

The Lipstick Vibe is made of plastic. It is easy to clean, doesn't smell, but you might want to warm it up a little first by rubbing it or holding it in your hands. The vibrator will warm it up, but you don't want to waste those sweet vibrations.

Obviously, it's meant to look like a tube of lipstick. It is precisely the same size as a regular tube of lipstick you'd buy at the store too. In fact, when I was a freshman in college, I had a friend with benefits, ugh, which I completely regret now, who waltzed into my room one day. He was talking to me, messing around with my stuff. He opens up my makeup drawer and roots around, pulls out the lipstick and opens it. He makes like he's going to put it on as I sat there staring, trying not to laugh, then he quickly puts the lid back on and throws it back into the drawer, laughing loudly. "What, did you think I was going to put it on?" I died a little inside. I can't believe it fooled him so well. Perfect moment.

You twist the tube to turn it higher or lower in terms of vibration speed. I wouldn't call it powerful by any means though, I'd say it's more of a beginner item. It's decently quiet too, though it gets kind of hot if you use it for too long, which you might if you need a stronger vibration to orgasm. Battery life is pretty decent as well. One downside is that these aren't meant to last forever. Mine broke after a few months of intermittent use, maybe 2 times a week.

Obviously you can't go dunking this thing in water, so caring for it can be tricky. The easiest thing I found was to use disinfectant Lysol wipes on it. It's incredibly easy to store, just put it in with your makeup, and no one will ever suspect. Just make sure you don't mix it up yourself, because it looks pretty real.

Packaging is cute, it looks like a cute little anime character. I gifted one of these to my friend for her 18th birthday a few years ago, and she thought it was adorable. Instructions are included on the back of the box.

Overall, I find this a decent product with decent results.
