Glass is wonderful. Glass that vibrates? I thought I'd be in heaven. Add to that the smooth sleek, black exterior.. The Black Panther will certainly make your lap a luxurious one.

It comes in a neat, magnetic package with a clear window in the top so you can see the toy, and the toy is nestled inside, held down by some elastic strings. My strings were broken, but it didn't matter much because there is a recessed part in the packaging that holds the toy.

There are instructions with this toy, on the back of the box. They're included in multiple languages, but not very in depth- they don't need to be, because the toy is pretty straightforward. The toy comes with an unlined, black drawstring bag to keep it it, and there are even batteries included with the toy! That's an awesome plus, even though the kind of batteries it takes, AA's, are pretty easy to find.

Putting the batteries in was easy, but the base on my toy was substantially different from what is shown in the picture- I do believe it was plastic, but very shiny, and more knob shaped, with a single push button on it. I think this is probably a revision made to the toy in the interest of having a more cohesive look.

The vibrations this toy provides are amazingly strong, but I have to say that all the intensities and patterns are very one-note, as in they seem to be the same frequency, and there isn't much variation overall between them. The functions are listed very well in the descriptive review of this toy done by Sammi, and they give the illusion of variety, but to me, like I said it was pretty one-note. I typically like steady vibration more anyways, so I was alright with the patterns being a bit meh. If you need softer vibrations, this toy is not for you, since all of the vibration settings are quite strong.

To turn the vibrations off, you do have to cycle through them all. This can be a little tricky, so sometimes I just end up unscrewing the cap- by the way, this toy is not waterproof, so please be careful not to get the battery cap area wet.

When you get right down to it, the Black Panther is a really loud, but really fun, toy. I would not say it hits my g-spot perfectly, but it is great for thrusting and temperature play, and just feeling full as well. The swirls feel very interesting inside, not like ribbing but very gentle, and it's amazing when you twist it in and out. The vibrations are pinpoint at the tip, and I prefer them more clitorally than internally, since they're a little rough for me in that sense.

I had a lot of fun with this toy, and it only takes a few drops of any kind of lubricant to get it deliciously slick, a feeling only glass seems to be able to create.

As far as cleaning this toy, you can use various methods. Toy cleaner, soap and water (be careful, though), toy wipes, or you can even wipe the toy down with a bit of a 10% bleach solution if you're looking to share it between partners or orifices.

As far as anal use- the base that mine came with is a little bit flared, but I think it is not something I would recommend, and if you do it, please be cautious to keep a good grip on the toy- it can get very slick when lubed up.

All in all, the Black Panther is truly an affordable luxury, and I'm very glad that I got the chance to review it.
