I just love the vibration on this vibe! It was a Christmas gift from a significant other (who I've since broken up with, but this was the best thing to have come out of our relationship, in my opinion) and it's been a pretty much constant companion ever since. It's lightweight and quiet enough to use in a dorm/roommate living situation, and its also waterproof, which makes it very useful for those times when the only time you can ever get privacy is while taking a shower or bath. However, I'd recommend using lube/condoms with it, because while the jelly isn't too bad when used against the clitoris alone, there's no way that it's slick enough to manage without, no matter how wet you are. Actual water makes the problem worse, although again, its not an issue if you're just using it for clitoral stimulation. Oil based lubes will ruin the jelly though, so don't use those.

The older the batteries get, the louder it gets, but as the batteries weaken so does the vibration so there's incentive from two fronts to make sure that the batteries are fresh (for those of us in roommate housing situations). Another problem that I have, personally, is that it's too large (and possibly not lubricated well enough) for me to use for penetration (the diameter is too large), so I'm forced (fairly happily too) to only use it for clitoral stimulation. This means no gpsot orgasm for me, but it definitely gets the job done to the point where it doesn't even bother me that I can't use it the way it was intended. I suppose that's what you get when your girlfriend buys you a vibe and doesn't really know what's right for you.

Overall, I'm quite happy with it, and though it does have a slight rubber smell, it's nothing so strong or offputting to be bothersome. It's also pretty easy to clean, simple soap and water (or toy cleaner) will do it, but it can't be sterilized. Also, because the jelly is porous, it shouldn't be shared without a condom.
