This was the first Evolved toy I bought, and it completely turned me into a fan of this company. The packaging is gorgeous; and if you don't have a toy box to store your toys in, save the packaging and use it for storage. The packaging features a cute little charm, and inside the package there is a hard plastic ring holding it upright in its base. Upon opening the package, there were no noticeable smells of any kind because the Fleur De Lis Seduction is silicone. Because this toy is silicone, only water based lube should be used with it. No silicone lube with this one!

The cap twists on and has a push-button on the end to control the speeds. I noticed you do have to go through all the speeds to turn it off (holding the button down just won't do). This vibe has 3 steady levels of vibration and takes 2 AAA batteries that pop easily into a battery cage which has a tab to conveniently remove it from the toy when it comes time to remove or change the batteries. This toy is also waterproof! The base is fairly slender but widens closer to the tip. Used internally it's a pretty quiet vibe, but if used externally for clitoral stimulation it's a bit loud on the second and third speeds.

The Seduction feels silky smooth to the touch and has some flexibility to it. It will bend but obviously it won't hold shape. I think one of the most important things to know about this toy is that good batteries are a must! I initially just used dollar store batteries that I had around the house and thought the toy was okay. I upgraded to decent batteries once the cheap ones wore out, and I was beyond impressed and regretted ever settling for the cheap ones. With quality batteries, this toy's power is amazing!

I swear I'll never tire of this vibe and I have many more Evolved toys on my wishlist now because of this one. It's great for power, can be a little loud but for the power it gives me, I'm definitely not complaining. I love this vibe and can't praise it enough!
