This item is very straightforward. You look at it, you think, "I'm going to be using this as a vibrator". You're exactly right. This is not something I tried anally, so I could not tell you whether or not it will do anything for you there (actually, the flower designs on it make me say it's probably not a good idea!).

The plastic surface makes this safe for just about any lube you have!

I haven't used a lubricant on this, so I cannot give my thoughts on what works best.

This is made out of hard, non-porous plastic. So, yay, easy cleaning & storage! This is actually highly textured and can be uncomfortable if using vigorously or quickly. The pretty flower design actually protrudes quite a bit from the toy so you'll definitely feel it. I found no odor or taste to this and it came in a very simple, yet fun clear, plastic "sleeve". That's what I love about Eden branded toys, the packaging.

The toy is 7" long & you can insert about 6.5". The shape is very traditional for your standard vibe. This would definitely work well for a beginner & would still carry fun for an advanced user. The speed dial (located at the bottom) gives a gradual increase in speeds, with a steady normal pattern of buzzzzzz. The vibrations are pleasant & do not go too high & the lowest setting is enough to feel internally.

As it is 7" long, I certainly would not say it carries the discreetness for travel, but you can store it around the house with no issues.

To be used as a traditional vibrator, this toy performs excellently! I have no complaints (other than previously mentioned that the designs can be an irritant if used very quickly).

Also aforementioned, the control is a dial on the bottom that you simply twist.
This is not a water friendly toy, so don't try that!

This was my first toy that takes 2 C Cell batteries, and let me say, boy does it use them!

You'll feel all that power and so you will need to buy more batteries.
But the fun is worth it.

I recommend leaving the paper insert in the battery compartment to avoid rattling of the batteries.

This plastic toy makes for wonderful clean up! Use any toy cleaner you have, no material will break or harm the plastics surface! Even warm water & a soap cleanser will do the trick. Of course take your batteries out when cleaning this as it is not waterproof!

I loved the packaging on this! It's a simple clear, plastic sleeve type that you can actually restore your toy in if you please, or recycle it!
