The Ultimate Satisfier Slim by Doc Johnson has good properties and some not so good in my opinion. It is a pretty powerful vibrator but the construction leaves a lot to be desired. The size would be great for beginners aside from the unsightly seam under the visible motor that catches and may turn off most users. I would recommend it as a vibe to stimulate outside areas before inserting it as it has a seam that scratches you and makes for unpleasant insertion.

This vibrator is made of hard plastic that is a food-grade material. It is latex-free, phthalates-free, hypo-allergenic as well as non-porous. There is no taste or smell. It is smooth on the tip, then there is a protruding seam before a lightly textured shaft. You really cant feel the textures once it is inserted but you can most definately feel the seam.

I cannot state enough how much this seam bothers me. It is very pronounced and unpleasant. It scratches you and if you were to thrust with this toy, I think you may actually rub yourself raw and cause bleeding.

This vibrator is 9 1/4" long and 1 1/4" in diameter at the widest point. It has an insertable length of 8 1/4". It is a little thinner at the bottom of the shaft and has a torpedo like tip where the motor is visible. 2 3/4" down is where you run into the seam before it goes into the textured shaft.

I think that the design would be good if you had the ambition to get a file and smooth out the seam, but I personally am not impressed enough with this vibe to take that time.

As it is hard plastic, the vibrations travel evenly through the vibrator. It is not water-proof but I think that water rinsing away the lube would just make it more painful anyway. It is operated with 3-AA baterries that are placed in the screw open battery compartment located on the bottom. The vibrator is operated with a dial controller that adjusts your speed from a very low vibe to a medium-high one. It is fairly easy to operate and does not require instruction.

The best part of this vibe is the weight that makes it vibrate is visible in the see-thru top which is pretty interesting to see. It gives you a peek into the world of vibrators and what normally makes me so happy.

Cleaning is simple with a wipe or soap and water. Be sure to remove the batteries before cleaning and storing. Be careful to avoid getting water in the battery compartment as there is no seal on it. The seam that is under the head of the shaft has to be cleaned thoroughly because of the way that it "lips" out it will hold fluids.

It came in a plastic bag, that is all, so I would store it in a bag to keep it dirt free between uses.
