I put a lot of thought into choosing a new vibrator for myself, and originally picked out the Lia lover i 10. I was starting to enjoy it for the first time when it quit on me--I'm not sure if this was a fluke or a bad product.

I finally returned the product and decided, due to my disappointment, to trade it in for another (for the record, I found EdenFantasys's customer service very kind, and their return/exchange policy seems to be excellent). This Dial-a-Dream was on their Summer Clearance special for $14.39, and after reading about it and comparing many ratings and reviews, I finally decided on it.

I had trouble when I first opened this, as it had no instructions that I could find as to which way the batteries should be installed (for the record, one goes up, and one down). Also, the dial is a little hard to turn (especially with one hand), and it seems, due to its texture (sort of rubbery), grime would easily build up on it. Plus, I noticed that, if you turn the battery compartment around all the way, it comes off.

Other than these small issues, I thought this was wonderful. I saw a couple of other reviewers say this was pretty basic, but I liked this better than the $120+ Eroscillator I have. I used it with the Bedroom Kandi Sliquid lubricant. It definitely hit my G-spot, and I had an orgasm within seconds. I don't usually masturbate on a regular basis (not because I don't enjoy it), but this made me want to do so more often. It really seemed to "fill me up," which is a definite plus to me.

It says on the box that it is "multispeed," but it doesn't specify how many speeds exactly. I had trouble telling how many there were for sure - there was a difference between them, but cycling through and comparing back it was a little hard to tell. I think there were maybe 4-5.

This had a nice texture. I noticed with the last silicone toy I tried (the Lia lover i 10) that it seemed to be a bit rough, but I didn't have that issue with this. It didn't have any smell at all that I noticed. It was somewhat flexible.

It did have a seam from the mold, but I didn't feel this at all - it was pretty flat.

I noticed when I was carrying it that the surface is not completely smooth - it almost is, but has some (almost flat) dips in the silicone. I don't think this is an issue, but I thought I would mention it.

I loved the size of the Dial-a-Dream. I specifically looked for something that was longer than most of the vibrators on the website, as I enjoy deep vaginal stimulation. I wasn't particularly looking for something "huge" though. This fit the bill, at 8" in length with 7" insertable; it is 4 1/2" in circumference (1 1/2" in diameter). It weighs 6.5 oz.

I think this would be great for beginners, as it's not very hard to use at all. However, this is not at all discreet. I think it would fit in a suitcase pretty easily though.

The vibrations here were not earth-shattering, but they did the trick for me. Going from one level of vibration to the next did switch things up nicely.

This was fairly quiet, I think; the noise was not bothersome at all to me, and I don't think it could be heard through most doors.

I have not tested this in the water, though it's meant to be waterproof.

I found this very easy to clean with just soap and water.

So far, I'm storing it in the box it came in.

As this is a silicone toy, do make sure you use it with a water-based lube.

This came in a slide-out blister pack. It has a warranty but no instructions. This I did not like.

I am using the box to store this, at least for now.
