The Fussy Touch Vibrator

Based on the price, the velvety feel, and the cute colors, the Velvet Touch Vibe is worth trying out. Since my last problem with the vibrations cutting out, it has worked just fine when I went back to test it out. It's definitely worth $12.99 just for the powerful vibrations and versatility. Clitoral play is fantastic! We all need an inexpensive toy stripped of all the fancy features every once in a while.

Use

Before I review items for this site, I decided it would be best to use them 2 or 3 times before giving my final opinion. The Velvet Touch Vibrator is perfect for both solo and partner play. It can be used to stimulate the clit, insert into the vagina, and also inserted into the anus. Be sure not to transfer this or any other toy from the anus to the vagina without cleaning it first. Both the price and simplicity of this cute vibrator makes it great for overwhelmed beginners and advanced users in the mood for something simple. I went a year and a half of being sexually active before being able to orgasm with my partner, so it's safe to say I am not the easiest to please! Given that fact, the Velvet Touch was able to get me off each time. If you have children or housemates other than those you are comfortable sharing your self-love time with, then I would suggest you wait until you are home alone or just skip on this one because it is loud! I was sad when on my third use I began having problems with the vibrations fading in and out.

Material / Texture

It feels just as it is described, like velvet! This is my favorite thing about it. It is made of PU coated plastic, so it is solid, even though the top velvet coat feels a little like rubber. If you need extra stimulation from bumps or ridges, then this is not for you because it is completely smooth to the touch, perfect for beginners or those that prefer the basics. The smooth texture allows it to glide smoothly up and down the clit, which felt fantastic for me. As a beginner in the world of anal play, I think the velvety texture also helped it to slide in easier there too. I didn't notice any smell or taste after taking it out of the box, which is always a plus.

Design / Shape / Size

I am the type of person that prefers a pretty toy rather than a realistic one, so the beautiful lavender color combined with the velvety smooth texture and traditional vibrator shape, was perfect for me. When I first got it, I kept looking at it and touching it because I just thought it was so cute! Size-wise, it would not be good for size queens unless you're just going for clitoral stimulation. It is 7" long, with 6" being insertable, which was more than enough for me since I couldn't even take in the full 6 inches. Just 1" in diameter made it ideal for me to use as a warm up for sex. As far as after sex play goes, personally, it left a lot to be desired since my boyfriend's penis is significantly bigger around, but this isn't something I look for in a toy anyway. Not much more to say about shape since it's very straight and traditional. This also means it's pretty recognizable as a vibe, so best to put it away when you have guests.

Functions / Performance / Controls

I'll start with what I liked about the Velvet Touch. It was inexpensive and super simple in the controls department. It has a dial on the bottom that turns it on. I liked that it simply had low, medium, and high, because I don't really care for crazy patterns when I just want to get off without having to click through 10 different vibe settings. It seems to vibrate relatively evenly throughout, and when holding the tip or point of it on your clit, it concentrates the vibrations nicely right there. I enjoyed the strong vibrations, and when I put it on medium or high, I climaxed pretty quickly. After my first 2 uses, I had already grown to like this cute, lavender, maker of happy endings.

Now, what I didn't like. There was only one thing I didn't like when I thought about this vibe after my first 2 uses, and that was how noisy it was. My boyfriend and I live alone, so it thankfully we didn't have to worry about piling the blankets on to muffle the groans of the Velvet Vibe as my partner or I pumped away. If you're worried about someone in the other room hearing, then please choose another toy! There's nothing even the slightest bit sexy about the sounds of this thing. Seriously, were they trying to make it imitate a lawnmower or something? My boyfriend and I giggled quite a bit the first time we popped the batteries in and turned it on high. Okay, I giggled, he laughed.

When I went to clean it after its second use, I noticed a small crack in the cap that screws on to hold the batteries in. I was careful not to screw it on too tight, so I don't think it was anything I did out of the ordinary. Because of this crack, I didn't want to use it in the water. It is supposed to be waterproof, though. Then in the middle of using it the 3rd time, the vibrations started cutting in and out. I suspect this could be due to the crack, but since it was so tiny, I'm not really sure. It seemed to cut out more when I was holding onto it by the cap, which of course, is the most comfortable way to hold it for me, so the rest of my session was kind of annoying.

At some point, even when I gripped it further down the shaft part, it didn't come back on. Again, I had to stop, but this time I had to completely take the cap off and put it back on. Still wouldn't come back on. For some reason, I squeezed it a little, and it started working from then until I was done with it. Also, if you have a little bit of lube left on your hands, it can be a little difficult to turn the dial when you want to change settings.

Care and Maintenance

To clean this toy, I just use a little warm water and soap. It was easy to clean and I liked that it wasn't a lint magnet. To store it, I just keep it in the night stand drawer with other toys, condoms, and lube. You can use water based lube and silicone, but because of the texture, I thought it took less than I would normally use.

Experience

My orgasms were more intense with the Velvet Touch Vibe. My partner went crazy seeing me bring myself to orgasm, but I guess that didn't really have as much to do with the toy as it did his love of visuals. He was so in awe of the experience that he now has a video of it on his phone, which I assume he secretly watches at work. It added something nice and simple to our sex life that didn't require any getting used to or direction reading.
Follow-up commentary
I really don't like this anymore. It has gotten so much louder that I can't even get in the mood or enjoy myself. It's too distracting. In addition to the loud vibrations, it also rattles. I don't feel like I got my moneys worth. I wish I would have spent a little more for something that would've lasted longer.
