Vibrators are great for couple and solo use. They add excitement to foreplay and are good for arousing more than just your sleeping kitten. When I purchase a vibrator I look for shape, design, strength of vibrations, and battery usage. Depending on what type of mood I am in, these qualities can vary.

I do like sleek vibrators, however I am very selective because I am wide in the nether regions and really prefer something that fills me up completely. Although the Pirates Vibe is slender it is not too skinny and the vibrations are strong enough for me to feel pleasured after using it.

I used my vibe not only internally, but also to stimulate my clit, arouse my nipples, and awaken my body by tracing it all over. I found that it was great to use during a romantic evening when I really just wanted to be made love to and pampered.

The vibe is not terribly loud once inserted but it can be heard from a bit of a distance when using it in other places. I did my usual door test and I heard a very low hum from outside the door. However I had to put my ear against the door and listen very hard. The noise can be covered up with romantic music or a sexy porn flick. If you share a room with someone I suggest inserting it first and then turning it on.

Although you can use this vibrator in a group situation I don't recommend multiple people inserting it without cleaning it in between partners. For solo play a girl has many options in where to use the vibe. For couples it works just as good.

I don't recommend it being used anally. For toys that are completely straight and have no flexibility I don't suggest using them anally because your anal cavity is not perfectly straight and a non-bendable toy doesn't conform to your insides and will cause damage.

This vibe is also water proof and great for the shower alone or with your partner. The mix of warm water drenching my naked body and the vibe deep inside me made me moan and cum repeatedly. With waterproof toys they are only submersible if the seal is not broken. Always check the seal between the portion that screws a part to make sure it is not damaged. If it is your toy can no longer be used in the water.

The Hidden Treasure vibe is made of plastic as mentioned below. That has its ups and downs. It is easy to clean, non-porous, and can be used with water, oil, and silicone based lubricants. The down side is that some plastic toys crack, they aren't pliable, and some don't like the feeling of hard plastic during sex. I personal had no issues with this vibrator.

The texture is extremely smooth and there isn't a protruding ridge where it unscrews that you find in a lot of vibes.

One of the greatest selling points of this toy for me were the iridescent scroll work on the vibrator that gives off a touch of excellence against the soft pink color. I also love the silver base that has a grommet design which almost looks like the sparkling diamonds that you see in marcasite designs.

There is no odor with this vibe. I don't usually find strong odors in plastic toys but I have heard the horror stories of others. Thankfully you won't have this problem with the Hidden Treasure vibe.

Now remember my pretties, this is made of hard plastic so there is no flexibility in this toy. This is very important for insertable toys. Flexibility will determine if you can use a toy anally, for g-spot stimulation, and how far you can insert it. As I said before i don't recommend this vibe for anal play and I will talk more about insertable length below. Because it is hard plastic, slender, and ends in a slight point, it might be a bit much for the g-spot. I am sensitive in this area and chose not to use it to reach my g-spot.

The Hidden Treasure vibe measures 5" and 4" is insertable. This is a decent size for a beginner and the 3 1/4 circumference isn't over powering for those who are very tight. I found the size quite pleasing even though I usually prefer a vibrator that has girth to it. The tip slopes into a curved point that isn't sharp and doesn't hurt during vigorous movement.

The vibe does not curve in any way and so it does not conform. But with its small size and rounded tip, it still feels comfortable when inserted. The shaft gradually widens when you get towards the end but it is not a blatant shift in size but rather a nice smooth transition that is hardly recognizable.

An advance user of vibrations may want something a little larger and/or longer. I feel the shape and size is really perfect for a beginner. Even if you are a pro but love to collect uniquely designed pieces, this is definitely one to add to your collection.

The artistic design played a huge factor in my decision to purchase this vibe. From the soft pink color, to the sliver grommet like design on the bottom of the vibe, to the silver scroll design on the vibe, to the cutesy pink chest you can store the vibe, I was smitten.

The vibe takes one AA battery. To insert the battery you simply unscrew the silver bottom of the vibe. I am relatively new to vibes as far as owning them myself, and so I was surprised to see that it only took one battery. No matter how small my other vibes and bullets are, they all take two or more batteries. I thought that maybe the vibe would exude less power or at the very least conk out in a short period of time because of this but it wasn't the case. Several times a day and two weeks later, my vibe is still going strong with the original battery I put into to it. I also take the battery out when I don't use the toy and this helps the battery last. I always keep a couple of batteries in my pen cup on my nightstand so this way I don't have to search for them when I need them right away.

The vibe has three vibration settings. The settings are relatively the same but heighten in speed and strength with each setting. The vibrations are changed by a push button with the number 3 written on it and is located on the bottom of the silver cap that screws onto the vibe. The button pushes in rather easily and there is no delayed reaction when you press it. Also a good thing to note that aggravated the hell out of me with another vibe, is that not once has it cut on accidently. Sometimes I forget to remove the batteries in my vibes and when I'm fumbling around in my "toy" box they come on. This was very embarrassing when I was moving a bag that had a bunch of toys in it in front of some friends who were totally oblivious to what was contained in the bag until they heard "something" vibrating. All in all I found the control easy to use even when I got frisky and hot and bothered. I do enjoy all of the vibrations but the highest setting, the 3rd setting, is my favorite which I am sure is due to the fact that I fancy high impact vibrators. It wasn't stronger than some of my others but it did hold its own.

I loved using my vibrator in the shower both by myself and with my partner. But it can get a bit slippery and sometimes I found it a little hard to handle standing up in the shower. I preferred using it with my partner because all I had to do was receive. In either case I still enjoyed the experience and use this one in the tub more than my other vibrating friends.

The Pirates Hidden Pleasure vibeis made of plastic so cleaning is very easy. Simply cleaning with antibacterial soap and water will do the job. Because the vibe is waterproof it can be completely submerged which will help ensure that you get it thoroughly cleaned. Even though I clean my vibe using this method, I also follow-up with a few sprays of toy cleaner just to be safe.

You don't have to worry about the vibe absorbing cleaners that can later surface and irritate your skin. Plastic is non-pourous and sensuously smooth. It is also easy to care for and store which is an added bonus. Most beautiful toys can be high maintenance which take away from the enjoyment of the toy. Who wants a toy that takes an hour to clean before storage. You won't have that trouble with this vibe.

I store my vibe in the beautiful pink case that it comes with. It is made of the same pink plastic material as the vibe and is lined with a black silky material. The case keeps the vibe safe from the elements and damage. The case is 5 1/2" long, a little less than 2 1/2" wide, and 2" in height. The small treasure chest is not bulky or terribly big but it won't fit in your pocket. You can however stash it away in an overnight bag for a night of fun or in your "special" drawer for prolonged storage.

The vibe comes in plastic packaging that has a beautiful sea background, a sexy pirate wench on the front, and on the back it lists the other products in the Pirates collection. The treasure chest and vibe are separated inside the plastic package. Honestly because the packaging is really cool looking I still put my chest in it with the vibe inside.But I also have a nice sized storage bin that has enough room for the complete package. The plastic see-through case is 6" wide and almost 7" tall so it is rather big but can still be placed in a small drawer or travel bag. The package is very informative and speaks on the sleekness and discreteness of the design as well as material information.

If you leave the items in the package separated, someone will clearly know what it is from afar and on the bottom front it does say pleasure vibe. Plus as soon as you turn it around and see the other products listed you know that this isn't a toy for kids. Because the packaging and vibe itself are artfully decorated, kids may be drawn to it so I just putting it away after use.

You can store the vibe in the chest and place it on your dresser without worrying that it screams sex toy. However, because it is so cute one may be inclined to open the chest to see what's inside and then your secret is out.

I must be honest, I fell in love with this vibe when I first saw it because of the soft pink shade, treasure chest storage box, and luxurious look. I wanted a vibe that wasn't too expensive, but came in a nice storage case and had an air of class to it. When I received the vibe I wasn't disappointed.

You guys should know be by now. The look of a toy is just as important to me as the performance. Its like my selections of mate, if I can't look at you then I can't sleep with you. So I was excited that the vibe didn't look cheaply made and had such a stylish look. I love the silver accents that give it a diamond look that made me feel like the luckiest princess knowing it was all mine.

Now of course you don't drop $40 on a vibe to just hold it. The vibrations worked perfectly for seductive play. It aroused my nipples, clit, and sent waves of trembles throughout my body. Of course there are stronger vibrators out there, but I wasn't looking for earth shattering when I got this. But don't get it twisted, this purrs louder than a kitten and is strong enough to make you weak after use.
