Having a vibrator that you don’t have to hold directly on your skin is quite the experience. I’d never tried it before getting Jesse’s Secret Teddy|Strap-on vibrators: Jesse Jane's Secret Teddy and I have to say that I quite enjoyed it. The vibrations are intense enough to really get me going and the adjustable straps allow for specific placement of the Secret Teddy wherever feels best.

With that said, strapping on the Secret Teddy for the first time was no small feat: the straps are made of a stretchy plastic and are somewhat complicated to adjust though it is certainly doable. The fact that they are totally clear is a nice visual effect once the Secret Teddy is on but that’s the end of the highlights for the straps. They’re hard to get on and once I slid my thighs into them, they started getting twisted and pulling at my leg hair and skin. Thicker straps made from a non-plastic material would have been better.

Once the Secret Teddy was strapped on, however, it was a fun ride. The vibrations are about equivalent to a silver bullet’s vibration range: there’s a twist wheel with vibrations ranging from can-barely-feel-it to much more intense. It’s a totally different experience to not have to hold the vibrator itself and I had fun varying the vibration speed without knowing exactly which spot on the teddy was about to hit where. I tried the Teddy on naked at first but later decided to try it with clothes on and enjoyed the feeling of being fully dressed and still being stimulated. The Teddy was fairly quiet, particularly under clothing or a blanket. This is not a toy you need to worry about waking the neighbors with its noise.

The one disappointing aspect of using the Teddy was that it didn't quite bring me to orgasm on its own. While it turned me on an immense amount, I couldn’t get it to rest in the perfect spot to push me over the edge without physically holding it there. Although holding it is certainly doable and I didn’t mind doing so when I was ready to come, I would love to see a toy which can make me come without any direct contact needed. The Secret Teddy is made of jelly which means it can’t be sanitized (or shared!) but can be cleaned with warm water.
