Simple and basic isn't necessarily a bad thing. This IS the starter vibrator.
Beginners will find this the perfect lead in toy for their adventures in masturbation. Most may find this toy be too small to bring them to the promised land.

Pros
Good for beginners, can be used for massaging other body parts.
Cons
Small, slippery
The Durex Play from the allure line is a traditional vibrator with a beautifully sleek design. It's also versatile and with it's smooth contours can easily double as a body massager. It can also be used for anal and nipple play. The Durex Play Allure Massager is the ultimate first sex toy for those just beginning to explore adult toys. It's perfect for tension-releasing massage and sensual arousal. It's appearance is somewhat generic, but that may appeal to some, while giving others the impression of looking cheap. It does feel solid and looks heavier than it weighs. Its packaging is very vanilla, and this product may grace the shelves of a drug store, or a supermarket!
It's made of hard plastic, a good starter material, that has little friction. It glides over the skin nicely, and even better with your favorite lube which could be any variety: silicone, water based, etc. A lovely pearl white finish is accented by a rotating purple ring, which twists to adjust vibration. The ring is a little stiff but that is beneficial when your in the groove and don't want the controls touched, or worse switched off! It's size lends itself to the beginner as it's a bit small, too short and too thin, for penetration for the well experienced (or mom's who have their tightness affected; like in my case.) However, it's that same size that holds this toy back from being a regular in our bedroom. Speaking of size, we should also add that with lubed up hands it gets tricky keeping your grip on this little guy.
A satiny pouch is included for storage between uses, it comes preloaded with a AA battery so you can begin your sensual experience right out of the box.
It's specifications are as follows;
Color: White / Purple
Type: Vibrator Material: Plastic
Length: 6 1/2" Insertable Length: 5" Circumference: 4"
Batteries: 1 AA (Included)
Special Features: Multi-Speed, Storage Pouch Included, Battery Included
Weight: 8 oz (in package)
Cleaning is a breeze with regular soap and water, and drying with a towel. Store it in the nice pouch it comes with, which is good for keeping it organized.

Experience
We found battery life to be good in our testing session which ran for about an hour. We can expand on that in the follow up review. The vibrations were sufficient, and transmitted through the whole shaft. This toy didn't deliver the full orgasm; it felt good for outside use, our number one priority, but it took real sex to have the orgasm. For me the size was the tipping point. It's small and non-threatening, so beginners rejoice and try it out. If your looking to add a toy to a big collection, this isn't it. We look forward to trying it out in the shower as another reviewer suggested, but we don't get a opportunity to do that much.
Follow-up commentary
9 months after original review
We don't get much of a chance to use it, but this vibe is still on the first set of batteries. It has good vroom for only using one AA battery which comes with the toy. Overall, this toy should continue to stand the test of time. It feels like it's solid, and so far has worked every time.

Your experience with the Durex Play Allure | 3 |
Thank you for viewing Play allure – sex toy review page!
Add in that I have been a size queen since I was a teenager and the pregnancy stretching myth becomes silly. Still the warning about the girth of the toy is appreciated since I tend to go all schoolgirl-y over purple toys!
Other than that nitpicking this is a great review!
Good review guys. I too think this is pretty and lovely as a beginner toy, but it seems a bit pricey.
