The panty pal comes in three different shapes/colors. You cannot choose which one you would like. There is a pink butterfly, a purple star, and a red heart. Obviously, this product is aimed at the female consumer. Surprisingly, the panty pal is not very petite, which may also be why it doesn't focus on one spot very well either. I received the butterfly, and it was almost as long as my thumb and about two thumbs wide.

First and foremost, my panty pal was shipped in an envelope rather than the normal Eden box. For that reason, the panty pal's cardboard box packaging was squished to smithereens. Luckily, the panty pal itself is rather strong and remained intact. At first glance, I had absolutely no idea of how to work the panty pal. Two battery packs were included, but I didn't know whether to take the batteries out or to leave them held together (take them out). I also didn't realize that the butterfly attaches to the bullet by magnet. Then, I couldn't get the sleeve off of the bullet to put the batteries in. At this point, I'm still not quite sure how I got it off or if I removed it correctly. Luckily, some instructions are included, and I eventually (15 minutes after opening it) got the panty pal set up correctly.

The panty pal can either be used by itself, or it can be attached to your panties. Either way allowed me very little clitoral contact, and it wasn't necessarily powerful enough when it did connect. I actually wondered if I should buy a too tight pair of panties in order to forcibly press the panty pal up into my clit.

Yet, there was one huge reason why the panty pal doesn't even work as a teaser for me. It's loud (for something that should be discreet anyway)! This is not something you could wear around anyone without them noticing. That's half the intrigue of owning a panty pal...being able to wear it secretly!

The next problem that I encountered was the confusion with cleaning this item. It's not marked as waterproof or splashproof. The sleeve attracts a ton of lint, hair, dust, etc. I finally ended up washing the sleeve with soap and water, wiping the bullet with a toy wipe, and I also used a wipe for the butterfly. Honestly, it just didn't seem that sanitary...especially for something that might spend some time in your underwear while you move around.

Finally, if you were thinking about using the panty pal for an alternative use, so was I. I tried to slip the panty pal on my bra to see if I could maybe get a little nipple stimulation. After all, it's easier for me to deal with less accurate vibrations for that area than for my clit. However, even my thinnest bra wasn't thin enough to attach the panty pal.
