Ah my little dolphin, the first toy I ever owned. And he still goes strong to this day (been two years now), after *much* love & ABUSE!

I have the blue model, and right out of the package was impressed and excited by my first purchase. Unlike the package indicated, the little guy accepts 2 AAA batteries (not included). I tend to use two sets of rechargeable ones just so I don't miss any action, what a drain that would be.

The feeling of the dolphin is firm but very soft, and with a tiny bit of 'give'. You don't want to bend him too much as you can feel the motor/electronic assembly inside, but he can move around a bit.

Even though this device claims to be waterproof, I had previously read on other reviews that some of them failed after being dunked, thus I have never fully immersed my little friend. The battery cap & gasket don't seem to be that tight of a fit, so I never trusted it. The battery cap, when turned, does seem to click into position and feels pretty secure. It's never popped off during use.

The skin of dolly is pure silicone and super smooth, with a water-based lubricant, I would not recommend silicone on silicone as I heard it can break down the vibrator skin.

This vibe is a fairly small size as you can tell by comparing dimensions & insertable length. I'm a very tight girl, being very petite and 5 feet tall, so this is perfect for everyday use. As a matter of fact, it's the only vibrator I currently own and am quite okay with that!

Now as for the use and feel… wow! I guess I don't have much to compare it to, but it never seems to fail to do the job. I come every time with this thing, without seeming to try that hard. The dolphin's nose is perfect for covering my clit and this is typically how I like to warm up. After that, a little dab of water-based lube and in he goes! The tip is very small and easy to transition to the wings, which are a bit bigger and the vibrator's biggest circumference. The small tip is also very nice for the few times I've taken dolphie to a different place... you get the idea!

The dolphin has sufficient vibration power and I rarely need it above half power. At full blast it tends to get a little loud, you could probably hear it from the other side of a wall no problem. The power progression is barely moving at first, and ramps up to very powerful, and if you hit the + button again you will move into 1/3 pattern vibrations. So basically hold it until it goes all the way to full power, then hit it up to 3 times depending on what setting you like. I prefer #1 personally, it’s kind of like a steady, fairly powerful blast every 3/4 of a second or so...mmmm very nice!

Cleanup with this toy is obviously fairly easy, as it's fully submersible and pure silicone. The water based lube washes off very cleanly with soap and a bit of hot water. And back into the drawer for his next use!

OH! One big thing I almost forgot to mention, but very important… don’t leave the batteries in there once you're finished, even if it seems to be off. It seems to kill your batteries within a day for some reason, unless you either take them out or simply remove the cap like I do. I'm not sure if it's mine only of if they will all have this problem, but please do be aware!
