While the strength of the vibrations of the Petite Flowers Hibiscus are less than astounding, the texture does offer something different that many users will enjoy.

The battery cap is made of plastic while the majority of the shaft is made of TPE. It's completely matte and pretty squishy, and a little bit of a lint magnet. Nothing horrible, but it will pick some stuff up. The whole thing is nice and bendy and flexible, which is great for those who aren't that hot on rigid toys. It's a very moderate size at 7 1/2" long and with 6" of that being insertable, the length is sure to please most users. The tip is tapered for easy insertion and the widest part of the shaft is about 4 1/2" around. With a smooth shaft this might not be enough to be enjoyable for a number of women, but the twisted texture of the shaft plus the raise hibiscus flowers on the twists makes this feel a little bigger than it is almost. If you're not a fan of texture, you'll want to skip this. Thrusting might be too much for some, but twisting creates a whole new sensation.

This runs on 2 AAA batteries and for that, the power isn't bad. The battery cap can be pretty finicky, but once you get it on right, you can start playing with the vibrations using the twist dial. The vibrations come from the single bullet in the tip, and are graduated going from a low rumble to a higher pitched but still pretty rumbly vibration. The noise level is impressive as well, being quiet enough to use just under the covers even on high. If you like to play outside of the blankets, you'll want to have some background noise, but this isn't a power tool that can be heard from outside.

The packaging wasn't anything special, and doesn't tell you much more than what size batteries you need and what the material is. You can easily use it for storage and while it's not the first thing I'd give as a gift, it's not really tacky either. There were no instructions, but everything's pretty straightfoward. For cleaning, you'll want to wash it in a sink with warm soapy water. All the texture makes it something that's very likely to catch lube and other fluids, so you'll want to pay extra attention to those, and scrub them with a very soft old toothbrush if you need some extra help. You'll probably want lube, and you can use either a water based or silicone based lube with it.

Being that it's relatively small, it'll travel fairly well inside a plastic bag. It is fairly obvious that it's a sex toy of some sort though, so I'd recommend making sure you keep it put away if you don't want anyone to know you were using it.

I know this was one of the freebies, but I'd have spent the money on it once. The vibrations aren't overwhelmingly strong and are great on the clit, and I just love twisting the vibe inside of me. While I do really enjoy it when I do use it, I don't use it often enough for me to justify going right out and buying another when it breaks, so once it's done, it's done for me.

This isn't a vibrator that you have to run right out and try, but it still has some redeeming qualities if you do manage to find it.

This was fun while it lasted, but it did get old for me after a while. If you ever find it again, it's worth a look into but you won't be lost without it.
