This toy could be great… could be. The safe material and interesting design are definitely good features, however the spine ruins any attempt made by this toy to be effective.

This toy is of modest size. It is 4 inches in insertable length and the head of the toy is slim at 4 inches in circumference. The shaft widens to 6 inches in circumference at the bottom.

As far as material goes, this little alien looking pink blob of mine is constructed from Elastomer, a material with is super soft and supple but free of Jelly’s main drawback… Phthalates. Being free of such odoriferous chemical softeners, the Mandorian Dot Neo Vibe has a slight smell which is only noticeable when held directly under my nose. There really is no taste, but it wouldn’t matter if there was one as this is not exactly the type of toy that lends itself well to sucking on.

Elastomer is not sterilizable, so if you plan on sharing, make sure you have some condoms handy. Use of lubes with this toy are helpful (all those little nubs after all) and either water or silicone based lubes are safe. For cleaning I would suggest using a spray cleaner like Before and After to avoid moisture into the cord opening. This little opening is something that concerns me about the toy. It is large enough that moisture could easily collect inside, but it is not large enough to remove the Elastomer from the motors for thorough drying (I must note that I actually ripped it some trying to see if this was even possible… oops! Though I would like to add that there was a little seam where a small “plug” had been glued into place. The actual material has not ripped at all, just the glue).

A motor is located in the bottom of the toy and another one in the tip. Both of these are fairly strong motors, though the smaller one in the tip is incredibly “buzzy.” The motors are controlled separately, and are super loud. If you have a Hitachi, then you know what a really loud toy sounds like… or you could just buy this one if you really want to own a toy the whole neighborhood will be aware of (though I would NEVER recommend this over the Hitachi, NEVER).

The separate control pack could be a good thing… IF it were not so damn cheap. The plastic is thin and would definitely break if accidentally stepped on (I am a clutz so naturally think of these concerns ;) The two turn dials are easily turned… which means the speed may change without warning if you happen to bump the control pack while grinding on the toy. The power comes from three AA batteries, which I am please to say are included with the toy! I must confess though, I do not know how long the batteries last is this toy as I can’t force myself to use it enough to wear them out.

The spine… oh, that darn spine! When I first held the toy in my hands I thought perhaps it rotated, as the spine spun easily inside of the toy. Well, it does NOT rotate like a rabbit vibe|California Exotics Waterproof Jack Rabbit does. The spine is curved just enough to produce quite nice G-spot stimulation, though because it is not anchored down at all it will slip to the side without warning. I’ve tried using this toy several times, and it has flipped (painfully) towards my hip during each use. I could not keep it from twisting to the side and digging into the side walls of my vagina.

I would also like to point out that the spine is a thick wire (probably number 9 from the looks of it). Because it is just a wire, it can be bent. I accidentally bent the wire during an investigation after becoming incredibly frustrated by the compulsive flipping towards the side. It didn’t take much to bend it back, but I must say I was unimpressed with the poor construction.

The toy is covered with little nubs, and honestly while they are fun to look at they really didn’t make any difference during use. The large nub located for clit stimulation was the only one that actually could be felt when I turned it on.

The design of the toy is interesting. It is not very good for thrusting motions, but works well for riding and grinding. The length of the toy was good and reached my g-spot, and the clit bump actually did a good job of stimulating my clit. Too bad those things are ruined by the constant rubbing on the sides of my vagina from the stupid spine twisting to the side.

I feel that this toy is more of a prototype instead of a finished and polished product. With some changes, this really could be an excellent sex toy… however, as it currently is, I can not recommend it as the problems are due to poor quality.
