When it comes to clitoral vibes, I am a user and an abuser. Once I find one I like, we're pretty much going steady until it dies, at which point I consider the pros and cons of that particular toy and buy something new. I'm still looking for the ideal clit teaser|Jelly mini-teaser - Clitoral stimulators, and while the Bliss was great in many ways, it's still not perfect.

It is super affordable and cute to look at. It has a good weight in your hand and is comfortable to hold. Since it is a "shaft" design, there is a wide area to hang onto, without the slipping and gripping associated with smaller bullet vibes|Vibrating eggs and bullets. It's contained all in one piece so there's none of that nonsense where the wiring comes loose right when you're at the edge of orgasm. While the thickness (or lack thereof!) seems to indicate that it's not designed for penetrative stimulation, it's still exciting to slip it just barely inside. I thought the design was great for all of those reasons. While it's not completely discreet to look at--let's face it, anyone who has seen toys before can recognize the intended purpose, at least if someone unexpected should see it, it's a little less embarrassing than a giant cock-shaped toy|First time dildos.

One of the more annoying things I've noticed with small vibes is that they seem to require bizarre battery sizes, either watch batteries which die after an hour of play or a battery whose size is a letter far down the alphabet that you're only going to be able to find in a store with an electronics department. Bliss requires AAA batteries, which can easily be purchased at any mini-mart. This is a huge plus in my book.

The waterproofing was great too; it easily lends itself to a little teasing in the bath or shower.

The one thing I didn't really like about Waterproof bliss vibrator|Waterproof pixies™ bliss was the lack of adjustable speed. I suspect this is in part because of the incredibly low price, but with a simple on/off switch, if the level of vibration isn't ideal for you, there's not a whole lot of workaround. Personally, I thought it was just a tiny bit weak. I'm sure it's great for most people, or even too powerful, but I would have liked it better had it been just one notch stronger. Don't get me wrong, it still brought me to orgasm repeatedly, but I just felt that the buildup took a little too long.
