This vibrator would be suitable for use alone or with a partner. It would be great for beginners, or a couple who is new to using toys together- it's not an intimidating look or design. It can be used to stimulate the vagina by penetration/vibration, and can also be used to stimulate the clitoris by vibration.

The Jewel is made out of what feels like a hard plastic, but is soft to the touch and almost powdery (though is not coated in actual powder)- it is very smooth. It lends itself to beginner users as it is sleek and smooth, but advanced users will find pleasure in the texture as well. The Jewel is also very easy to clean.

The design of the Jewel includes a tapered tip that flares out and back down again, creating a large smooth "bulb." This created a nice feeling when using the vibrator for penetration. The legnth of the Jewel is 6.5", which I think would be a good size for beginners and advance users alike. The controls are in a useful location as well. One of my favorite aspects of this vibrator are the jewels that circle the end- they serve no function but are just really pretty! This design is great for those who put much consideration into the visual aspects of a vibrator.

The vibrator is controlled by a dial-type control located at the very end of the unit. If you want more intense vibrations, you simply turn the dial up or down as you would a volume control. It was easy to use and I could adjust the vibrations with one hand even as I gripped the vibrator with the same hand. I think the Jewel produced a good range of vibrations, and when turned on full speed the vibrations were pretty strong. Users who are noise-conscious may want to note that this toy is slightly on the loud side when turned up all the way. I would say that when used in the open (not under a blanket) you would probably be able to hear it behind a door. The toy is waterproof, which is a great feature.

Because of the smooth, nonporous material the Jewel is easy to clean (the box recommended cleaning with an adult toy cleaner or simple soap and water). It takes two AA batteries which are loaded by unscrewing the end of the Jewel and sliding the batteries down the shaft. It is small enough that it can be stored anywhere (would also be good for travel purposes) and is compatible with any lube types.

The Jewel came in a plastic shell type inner case with a cardboard outside case. You could use the package to store it, but be warned that the box features a naked woman (you wouldn't want a kid to accidentally see or find it). No user instructions are found inside the package, but the bottom of the box lists care instructions.

I love the pink color with the pink and diamond jewels- it just looks really cute!

I used it with a partner and it was fun and functional- definitely a great buy.
