When I first received this toy, I assumed that it would be great at getting me revved up and ready for real action with another toy. But this hand-sized, nubby vibrator packs some real power and is able to do an amazing job all on its own!

I feel that it is perfect for stimulating a woman's clitoris. I haven't tried inserting the vibe but I'm sure that it could be done with the help of a good lube. If you like the feeling of vibrations on your "butt", the nubs on the tip of the toy make this a good choice for that area. Because of its fairly small size, I think this vibe would be great during couple play as well and would not distract or get in the way like larger vibes sometimes do.

On the lowest setting, the vibe could be used anywhere, anytime without having to worry about being overheard. But on the highest setting, the toy is fairly audible and would certainly raise an eyebrow from the guy sitting next to you on the plane!

I love the texture of this toy and the material that it is composed of. The battery housing and inner working of the toy are made of a hard and sturdy plastic. I like some rigidity in a vibe but too much is uncomfortable for my clit. This is where the soft and flexible TPR sleeve surrounding the vibe comes in handy! This type of material allows you to place more pressure on your clit and allows smoother movements around that area. There are also multiple soft and flexible nubs at the tip of the vibe which make for some great and different types of sensations on your clit! They are my favorite part about the vibe. I would think that because it does have this different type of texture on the end, it should not be placed in the beginners category. Not everyone likes texture but if you have never experimented texture before, this is the perfect toy to start with!

This vibe did not have an obvious bad odor or taste for me. A+ in that department!

This vibe is a great size. It is the exact length of my hand, probably about 6 inches long. It is slender and easy to grip. You don't want to have your toy slip out of your hand right before you climax!

It is straight with a bit of a curve at the end of the TPR sleeve, which makes positioning of the toy against your body easy. With only size in mind, I'd say this toy is great for beginners but again, the toy does have nubs and texturing that those new to vibrators might not enjoy.

This toy's vibrations are controlled by a dial that moves easily and is conveniently placed. Turning the dial up, increases the strength of the vibrations as little or as much as you want and at full strength, this toy does provide a very good vibration!

At full strength though, this vibe is quiet loud and would not be my first pick if I need a discreet AND powerful vibe. If you can settle for mild vibrations, the lower settings are much quieter and more discreet.

I also would not recommend this toy for traveling. The dial is very easily turned into an "ON" position and your suitcase would be buzzing. I have often had to hunt down a buzzing in my toy chest and this pink vibe was often the culprit! Also, because of the nature of the toy's material, though it's not at all sticky, the sleeve tends to attract hair/dust particles which would just be annoying while traveling.

This toy requires two AAA batteries and are easily inserted through the twist-off cap. This is also where the vibration dial control is located. The toy claims to be waterproof but I would not fully submerge the toy in the water because the battery compartment just doesn't seem like it is sealed off that well. I do play with it in the shower and bath though and the material and texture of the toy make this just wonderful in the water! Even with wet and soapy hands, the dial control is easy to manipulate.

So far, the batteries have lasted quite awhile even with the constant use it gets!

Clean up with this toy is easy. Warm, soapy water, let it air dry, and the vibe is ready to be put away for another time!

Storing the toy requires a bit more attention though than other toys because of its soft outer sleeve. If you just throw this vibe in with other toys that have more rigid textures to them, you could easily damage the surface of this vibe. I would recommend putting any toys made of soft, jelly-like material like this into a small, separate plastic box that they can roll around in together. Also, this will slightly minimize hair and dust from the outside world from getting all over soft vibes like this one.

The toy is made of hard plastic and TPR which makes it compatible with both silicone and water based lubes, a feature that I just love!

Packaging is just a simple pop-open plastic sleeve that I did not save. It was actually a little too easy to open....I like at least some tape holding the packaging shut. I just don't like to feel like my toys have been played with before I have played with them, I guess. I would not store the toy in this packaging. It's rather awkward and unattractive.

I was curious about using the toy without the soft sleeve on it so I went ahead and removed it. The vibrations are much more intense without the sleeve over the hard plastic, so if this toy just isn't delivering enough intensity for you, there is always that as an option. Removing the sleeve would make insertion of the toy a lot easier as well. BUT the sleeve was a bit difficult to put back on so unless you plan on leaving it off, I would pass on trying it. There are plenty of other toys you can use for insertion instead of fighting with this is one.
