The Butterfly Kiss Platinum did not change much from its original version when it comes to the way it looks. They just added a silver band at the bottom and changed the colors to pink and purple.

Changes on its features though, that DID change significantly. Now there are 9 features of pulsation, vibration and escalation. The last version only had 3 vibration settings, low, medium and high. The new settings are pretty good. They are very good teasing you. The Platinum is Waterproof too, I have tested it.

I believe they upgraded the material, to a better quality TPR Plastic. The shaft is still incredibly flexible and the vibrations are concentrated at the tip and the butterfly. It has the same easy-push button at the base. Actually, my only complaint about this toy would be related to that. You have to push that button 9 times to turn it off! It can get a little annoying.

Basically, the Platinum edition is still the cute, non-intimidating, discreet, perfect-for-beginners toy, but improved with more options to play with. It's still very easy to clean and works perfect with a water based lubricant. It uses 2 AAA batteries that make this little toy's vibrations pretty good! The high (3rd) setting is my favorite when I am ready to be done. The other extra settings though, they are perfect to tease you and take you to the edge. This toy isn't very noisy but it isn't the quietest either. Pretty good if you don't live in a dorm, or with roommates. If you do though, there are always ways!...the shower, for example. You can't even hear the vibrations with the shower on!

Just like the original version, it makes for a perfect gift because of how cute it is. If you have a friend that you know who is curious about sex toys but is not quite sure how to start things, this is the perfect choice to give her that little push.

I got the original Butterfly Kiss and when I saw there was a platinum version out, I had to get it. I was very pleased to see that the improved settings did add some more fun to the experience!
