This was the first "wand" type of toy that I ever tried. The Heart Racer is a good toy for playing in a private setting, unless you're looking to get caught. It's a little bit loud, but the vibrations are great! Because of the wand handle it's easy to twist it any way you like without getting your fingers all slippery, and it can reach any place rather well. I often used mine on my nipples, clit, and anal opening to tease them.

As far as appearance goes, the vibrator is very pretty. It is see-through and it has a nice sparkle that lets you see how the inside is wired. I would recommend this for anybody. First-timers will likely enjoy it just as much as the more experienced. It's good for couple's play as well. Just lie back and let your lover run it over your body. Operating the toy is easy as well. Just a simple twist of the cap will send you through a wide variety of vibration speeds. It starts out fairly slow and works its way up to incredible power!

Aside from the noise level, there was only one thing I did not like about this toy. The Heart Racer is not textured at all, so after awhile it can be a little hard to feel the vibrations if you get excessively wet or numb from the powerful vibrations. It's smooth plastic and I find that I prefer something with a more textured tip. If that's the case with you, I'd recommend finding something that's not smooth like this is. That said, it takes me a good deal of time to have difficulty feeling it (about forty-five minutes) and I find that after a short break I can feel it fine again. The texture should be fine for beginners and advanced users.

I'm not fond of getting my hands sticky, so I was pleased to find a good toy to stimulate my clit that let me keep my hands clean when necessary. The shaft and head are both small, which makes the toy easy to maneuver. It's fine for traveling, but the noise created when it is turned on makes this toy anything but discreet.

The toy is durable and, therefore, lasts a pretty long time. It took three and a half years of almost daily use for mine to finally kick the bucket today. The toy is easy to use. Just twist the tip and your nerve endings will be soaring through a range of vibrations! It goes from barely there to incredibly powerful! The controls are easy to use. I had no problems with any of the functions and I did not use it in the water.

As this toy was plastic, we found that it was fine and easy to just clean it with soap and water. We never used lubes or other toys with it. To store it, my partner and I kept it in our sex toy box, sitting loose.
