Pleasure Petals would be best used for vaginal penetration. It can also be used by placing the tip on the clit area, or by teasing the vaginal opening with it. Since this vibrator does not flare out at this base, it would not be appropriate for anal play.

This toy would be good for people who like strong vibrations, or those who can use larger size vibrators. I don't think this is good for beginners like me. Using this in an area where you do not have roommates, or in an area that is normally already noisy, would be best.

This vibrator is made of a very hard plastic. It has a texture all over it, with the shapes of flowers. This texture is also made of hard plastic, so it just adds to the girth when you are inserting it. Over the top of the plastic, there is a very thin, velvety layer. This texture is not soft, and doesn't feel very good at all. This is a lot of texture, and when thrusting quickly it could be hurtful, so I would suggest some slower thrusting. I do not recall any strong odors coming from this toy.

This vibrator has the classic vibrator design. It has a small tip, and then gradually increases to about 1.25 inches in diameter. The length of this toy is approximately 7.5 inches, of which all but 1 inch can be inserted.

Personally, I thought the size was too large. I was a beginner at this time, and could not use it well because of this size problem. This toy can be hidden in any drawer easily. If it is left lying out in the open, it will be obvious what it is. It is not discreet at all. If you are traveling to where you will not have your bags checked, then it is travel-friendly, but if someone searches the bags, it will be obvious what this is.

Pleasure Petals is powered by 2 C batteries. A cardboard insert goes around the batteries to keep them from rattling and being so loud. This does help a little bit, but the toy is still quite loud.

This is very easy to use. There is only one turn knob at the base of the toy to control the vibration level. It goes from what I thought was a strong level to a very strong level. These vibrations can be felt throughout the entire shaft and tip. When on the highest setting, the toy can be very, very loud. There is no hiding that you are using a sex toy next door. This is not waterproof, so it cannot be used in the shower or tub.

This toy is easy to care for. It can easily be cleaned with toy cleaner, toy wipes, or just plain soap and water. You just have to make sure you get in between all the grooves and designs when you clean it. This is not waterproof, so I would not suggest submersing it under water, or putting it in a dish washer.

This toy can be stored with your other toys in a toy box. It does not collect lint like a magnet, so it could be kept wrapped in a little towel if needed.

I received this as a free gift with my order, so I did not receive a real piece of packaging. It came in only a piece of folded clear plastic that had Eden Fantasys, and their logo, written all over it. With the clear package, there is no getting out of everyone knowing it's a sex toy. As for the package it would come in if you were to buy it separately, I cannot attest to that.

I can honestly say that there isn't anything that I enjoyed about this vibrator. It was too big for me as a beginner, and it was so hard that it hurt me. I tried using it one time, I think, and I couldn't handle it for more than a few minutes.
