The Velvet Touch Vibrator is a very good beginner toy. It is slim at about 1 inch in diameter, and not too long at 6 insertable inches in length. The pink version is a very pretty pink. The feel is very similar to (and I know this is strange) a Cabbage Patch Doll's face. It is smooth, not quite slick, but has a texture all it's own. It is definitely not intimidating in looks or feel. It is not the strongest toy out there, but it is good for a beginner, or those who want a softer touch.

There is a dial on the bottom of the Velvet Touch Vibrator|Traditional vibrator by Doc Johnson that adjusts the vibrations from very soft and sensual to a medium level buzz. The transitions are smooth, since it is a continual dial, and not separated steps. It is easy enough to change the level even when in use, even using the same hand your holding it with. The tip is a rounded point, good for "spot treatment". When you need more concentrated attention... the end makes a very comfortable solution. The shaft of the Velvet Touch Vibrator holds the most vibrations, so it does work as a body massager, as well as a vibrator. I do not recommend the Velvet Touch Vibrator for anal play. It becomes very slippery when lubed up, and the base is not flared for safe anal play|Anal Toys and Anal Pleasure. For vaginal or external use, it is a very nice toy.

The Velvet Touch Vibrator takes 2 AA batteries, and they last maybe a month with decent usage, maybe two weeks if used every day. It is easy to clean with no grooves except around the dial for grip. There are no phthalates, allowing the Velvet Touch Vibrator safe to use without a condom. It takes lube well, so feel free to use your favorite lube! It is also waterproof, so shower fun is possible. I’ve personally not had any problem using it in the shower or bath.
