The Turbo Glider Blueberry is a waterproof clitoral/penetrative vibrator. Perfect for those on a budget, or people who travel and don't want to risk their expensive or bulky toys, this is the perfect little toy. Water safe and battery powered, the Blueberry can accompany you into the bathroom and into your shower. Great as a first-time vibe for those who aren't sure what will hit the spot for them, or for seasoned veterans looking to expand their toy box, the Blueberry is a versatile toy.

It can also be used for stimulating erogenous zones beyond the vagina, but can be a bit awkward. Though the vibrations feel nice on nipples, the shape isn't conducive to long use there. For anal use, extreme care must be given, as the base is not flared. If you do wish to use this toy for anal use, remember to use a condom (it can't be completely sterilized, though it is not porous), and I would also recommend that it only be used with partner play because of the smooth base.

The plastic is smooth and mostly transparent (the dark color makes it a little difficult to see) which makes penetration easier than with some other textures. I'm not a fan of the velvet products because I find them difficult to use, but this is perfect. The Blueberry is ribbed with two larger flares on the base before the smooth shaft. These provide interesting sensations during penetration but are irrelevant if you are just using it for clitoral use.

When I first began using the toy, I found it a little girthy. It was my first toy and I had never before engaged in penetration, so the bumps were difficult. Over the years, though, I have learned to love the rigid bumps. It is just over six inches long, with an insertable length of just over five inches. It's circumference at its widest point is 3".

The motor is close to the tip of the vibrator, so it is easy to use for clitoral stimulation, but the vibrations did not feel very intense for penetration. On a more aesthetic level, I thought it was kind of cool that I could watch the motor working, though I did not like when I could visibly see it start to break down (this is a helpful indicator, however, that your Blueberry is on its way out).

It's controlled by a dial base, very easy to use, but also very easy to totally unscrew if you're not paying attention while you're trying to turn it off. The batteries are also located there, you spin the dial base all the way off to change and replace them. I found that I replaced the batteries bimonthly, or three times a month, but I also gave it quite a workout.

The Blueberry Glider is waterproof, but I was wary about submerging it completely (too many movies of girls dropping radios into the tub, I guess!). I did try it in the shower and it worked well with no signs of corrosion or damage.

It has varying speeds/intensities, all of which can be changed with the dial base.

It's a little noisy, but can be masked if you watch really loud TV or play loud music. It can be mostly muffled under a comforter or blanket, but if sound is a big problem this toy might not be the best way to go.

This toy is very easy to care for. Because it's plastic and waterproof, you can wash it off in the sink (just make sure the dial base is screwed on tightly) after use. Plastic can be used with all kinds of lubricants, so there are no restrictions there. Also, because plastic does not collect fur or lint, it can be stored in a toy box or a bedside drawer without a problem.

The Turbo Glider Blueberry was my very first vibrator--I got my first about four years ago and have had at least three since then. The first died a natural death, the second did as well, and the third has remained a staple in my toy box ever since. It may not have the largest lifespan of any toy, but I do feel strongly about replacing toys frequently and the cost isn't prohibitive to that.
