Pearly is a short g-spot style vibe with a small clit nub. I can reach my g-spot easily with my fingers, and sometimes I find deeper penetration painful, so I thought this would be a great vibe for me.

The main parts of your body that Pearly is designed to stimulate are the vagina and clitoris. There is a small graphic on the instruction sheet that shows that how it may also be used in the anus, because the clit nub prevents it from being inserted too deeply and getting lost.

Of course, Pearly may be used on erogenous zones such as the nipples, testicles, and perineum. The tip is fairly pointy which lends itself to be used for pinpoint stimulation of the clitoris.

One of my favorite uses is to have my partner insert it, turn the clit nub slightly to one side, and perform oral sex on me. The pulsation vibrations felt very good inside of me, and he said he had no trouble with the clit nub getting in the way of his tongue. Amusingly, he was wearing a heavy chain necklace at the time, and it draped down on the handle of the toy and made a VERY loud rattling noise, but this was easily fixed by taking it off. It is something to keep in mind if you want to play with a similar situation with your partner wearing a necklace or bondage collar, though.

Pearly could be used for temperature play by heating or cooling it in water, as it is completely waterproof.

The insertable portion of Pearly is made of velvety silicone. It has an extremely faint plasticy smell and no taste. The smell can only be sensed if you put your nose right on it and sniff deeply. It cannot be sensed during normal use, which is why I chose the tag "no odor". Because it is velvety, it is a strong lint magnet. The only silicone toys that I have found to be lint-repelling are Tantus's smooth silicone, and the Cal Exotics Rechargable Black Label Jack Rabbit. Nothing is totally lint-repelling, even glass, but Pearly is one of those toys that really grabs and holds dust.

It comes in either a dark purple color or a light green color, with a shimmery silver plastic control base. The buttons are a hard clear plastic that looks almost like glass. It is smooth, except for two small ridges that "swoop" up from each side and under the tip to meet at the point of the head.

The motorized portion of the shaft is rigid, and the portion of the tip where it bulges out slightly on the inside is soft and slightly flexible. However, the short length of the flexible section means that for practical use, it is not flexible.

On a scale of 1-10 of discreteness, where Mimi is a 1 and realistic dildos likeJeff Stryker cock UR3 with painted veins and a darker head are a 10, I'd rate this about a 4. It's tiny, and the clit nub and colors make it look less like a penis, but the visible control buttons make it clear that it is a sex toy. It is suitable for travel because it is small, discreet, and has a control lock function.

I like the aesthetic design of this toy very much; it is by far the most beautiful sex toy that I own. The smooth velvety silicone and silvery plastic make this toy look luxurious and expensive. This is only to be expected, because it is on the high price end for vibrators. The plum-purple color is my favorite shade of my favorite color.

I LOVE the size! I own the Rechargable Black Label Jack Rabbit, which is pretty monstrous. Another reason I bought Pearly was to have a similar dual-stimulation vibrator that was small and discreet, and Pearly certainly delivers. The size is suitable for beginners, as long as you are comfortable with the 4.5" circumference/1.4" diameter. The insertable length of 2.75" is not intimidating; in fact, some may find it too short.

The vibrations in this toy are very strong and can be felt in any part of the toy, including the control handle. It has 12 functions, although interestingly, it starts at function #3 when you turn it on.

1. Quietest, lowest vibration.
2-5. Increasingly stronger vibrations.
6. Loudest, most powerful vibration.
7. "Waves". This function escalates stronger, and then smoothly comes back down again. The vibrations switch between the two motors, which almost makes the toy flex.
8. Like #7 but twice as fast between the strong peaks.
9. Quick switching between low and high levels of vibration.
10. Extremely quick pulsing, almost like a "double" vibration. Very rumbly.
11. Very unusual, 8 quick pulses between the base and tip motors, and then just the tip motor.
12. Pulses that get increasingly faster over a 10-second period, and then return instantly to the slowest rate again.

The (+) button goes to the next function, and after #12 goes back to #7, without passing through the constant vibration levels. The (-) button, on the other hand, works normally in levels #1-#6. However, when you press it during a pattern, it returns you to #6, almost as if you were "restarting" the toy at the highest vibration.

Since this toy is waterproof, it is easy to clean. Soap and water in the sink works just fine. Air drying is the best because it is a lint magnet, although if you need to dry it quickly, a towel will work. You will need to rinse the lint off before you use it again.

Like other silicone motorized toys, it can be sterilized in 10% bleach, but not in boiling water or the dishwasher. All lubes except silicone or silicone/water hybrids can be used with this toy. I would recommend an oil-based lube such as coconut oil for use in the shower or tub, as it will not wash away as easily. It will be more difficult to clean off, however.

I store it in the small box that it came in. The only change I would make to the box is to cut a hole in the bottom so that the charging cord can reach it.
