I like this toy as a starter. It is not something that is strong enough to get me to orgasm, but it was definitely fun for foreplay. The sweet curve is perfect for teasing a clitoris, nipples, or even my husband's penis. Also, it was fun to using during sex. It was the perfect stimulation for my clitoris and helped me enjoy sex much more. It is perfect for traveling because of its small, compact size. The Extreme pure gold sweet curve is, in my personal opinion, better for external use because if its smaller size. I'm not sure I would use it for penetration.

It is completely waterproof, so you can play with it in the tub. It runs on 2 AA batteries, though, so make sure you have the cap on tight before taking it into water. The toy has one button, which makes it an easy to use, uncomplicated toy. The vibrations are not loud, either. If you are looking for a quite, discreetly small toy, you will really enjoy The Extreme Pure Gold Sweet curve. Because of the fact the vibrations are not overly strong, I call it my teaser. Enough to tease and get me worked up, but not enough to finish me off. Unless of course, I use it with another toy or with my husband.

The Extreme gold sweet curve material is ABS plastic with gold covering. The toy is light-weight, smooth, and hard. This toy does not bend. It doesn't soak up lube, either, so its perfect for spreading lubrication onto the right spots. It is made of a food-grade material, hypo-allergenic, latex-free, and phthalates-free.

The sweet curve has no smell or taste. I do like the hard curve at the top. It made it perfect for stimulation. I would say this toy can be used by an advanced user if they are using another toy. However, I think a beginner would benefit more from the sweet toy. Cleaning it was really easy.

I really liked the design of this toy. The curve almost reminded me of a mini ice cream scooper. The curved top, when placed at the right spot, made all the difference in stimulation. I found that placing the back of the curve at my clit to be the most stimulating, on myself. On my husband, I found the hallow part to have the right amount of vibrations for him. Either way, it is designed that either a man or woman can enjoy. This is a small toy, size-wise. It isn't as long as my hand, which made it perfect for putting away and taking with me when traveling. Also, my husband and I found it to be the perfect size when using it during intercourse.

The only issues I had with the design of the toy is the battery compartment. It took a lot to get it off and after several minutes of trying, I had my husband do it for me. I'm hoping it has a good battery life since I don't want to have to change it too often. The button that operates the toy is located on top of the battery cap. Since it is a stimulating toy, I think beginners and advanced user would really enjoy it.

Extreme Pure Gold Sweet Curve has one vibration setting. You simply push the button on the bottom and when you are done, turn it off. If you aren't use to using toys I would suggest to start off with the sweet curve. The vibrations are quiet so it can be discreetly used. I suggest placing the back of the curve directly on your clitoris and making circular motions--I found this to be the most pleasuring. If you plan to use it in other places, such as your nipples, I would say just move it around with light pressure for the most benefit. For my husband, I simply placed the toy on his penis and the small vibrations were enough to get him excited. I used the hallow of the curve and stuck the top of penis there, which he seemed to enjoy most.

For someone who likes a strong vibration, this toy will not do it for you by itself. Because of its one setting, you wont be able to switch it up. The Curve does add variety on how you can use it and where it can be placed, though.

It takes 2 AA batteries. I have been using mine for a while and the batteries are not dead yet, so it seems to have a good battery life. The button on top is easy to use. There are no complicated controls or settings.

This toy can be cleaned by using warm water and soap. I make sure to clean mine both before and after each use. The fact that it is a hard plastic makes it really easy to clean and it is waterproof so if you want you can just completely place it in water. I try to make sure to clean the hallow of the curve extra well just to make sure nothing gets left behind there.

After I'm done cleaning, I simply use a soft cloth to dry it off and place it back with my other toys. I have been using this toy for a while and so far have had no issues with lint sticking to it, which is a huge plus.
Also, because of its smaller size, it's really easy to store.

I, myself, didn't keep the original package. It would be okay to store your toy in, but I prefer something that is a bit more discreet.
