This little vibe does look exactly like a tube of lipstick. It's virtually indistinguishable from the several dozen other little tubes in my bathroom. It's slightly taller though, so you won't lose it in your lipstick jungle. Given the chance to purchase again, I might have gone for the black and magenta version - the pink is very Barbie-bubblegum.

The twist is nicely intuitive. Just like you would hold a lipstick by the shaft and twist the bottom counterclockwise, the vibe turns on the same way. The pink "lipstick" portion does not move or retract, however. If you twist clockwise, the bottom comes off so that you can replace the AAA battery. There are tiny black arrows and ridges that help you determine the proper positions.

I use this vibe for clitoral stimulation. The vibrations are relatively strong, and the plastic is smooth. I like the pointed end for very direct stimulation that gives me quick, reliable orgasms. It's louder than most other vibrators I own, but not so bad that I'm shy about using it. It's not waterproof, but the hard plastic is easy to wipe down. The single AAA battery lasts for a very long time - I think I've only replaced mine once ever, and I use this vibe a lot.

For a recent bachelorette party, I put together the cutest little gift bag. I bought a small purse and filled it with all kinds of fun purse-themed toys. I started with this lipstick vibe, then found some mint "Dick Tarts", an erotic key chain, tingly lip gloss, some sexy body jewelry, a little tube of massage lotion, and a gift card to Eden (of course!). It was the hit of the party, and I've had more than a couple of friends ask if they could duplicate my efforts for a friend of theirs.
