Sure it may be categorized as a “traditional vibrator|Traditional vibrators”, but don’t let that fool you. There is nothing traditional about this waterproof toy. I had my eye on this one for a few months before I got it. Every time I would be looking for a toy, this one would pop out at me. It looked harmless with its cute little nubs that reminded me of the popular tongue rings. Harmless indeed.

Let me introduce you to the only vibrator I own that I am actually afraid of. If you do get this vibe, take it slow. The nubs are pretty vicious. When I first bought this toy, I made the mistake of giving it to the boyfriend to use on me. Thinking he was going to be funny, he decided to just jam it in. The pain was unbelievable. I thought it was shredding my vagina and was sure it would be bloody when he pulled it out. No amount of lubrication helps ease this toy in and out. Any lubrication that was there was held in the ridges between the studs (which feel like spikes when they are in), and was, therefore, pointless.

The plus to having spikes? They make this toy extremely easy to hold on to in the shower or during sex. I never have to worry about it slipping out of my lubed hands. The twist-style dial also makes it very easy to adjust the intensity of the vibrations.

I put this toy in the bottom of my black box, thinking that it was a one time use and hoping that I would never see it again. It wasn’t until a few months later when the boyfriend and I were dabbling in BDSM play that it came out again. There is a difference between good pain and bad pain. This is bad pain.

Overall, if you have it, use it for it’s waterproof and vibrating qualities. If you don’t have it, I wouldn’t suggest buying it. As a toy, I give the Taffy Tickler Water Buddy|Traditional vibrators: Taffy tickler water buddy one star out of five.As a vibrator, the Water Buddy gets 5 Vrooms and 3 Bees.
