The Jewel is a great first toy, in my opinion. Just the initial feel of it, before turning it on, was great. It is smooth and although a little thick, it works like a dream. Having had it for a month, I can honestly say I adore it, and will probably keep it for as long as possible, even while purchasing other toys. It is my 'first love', if you will, and I will not be discarding it so quickly, even if I do not keep it as a 'favorite' in the future.

While not the most discreet thing, it is very easy to conceal the noise - which it makes plenty of -- just by turning on some music or a television in the same room. It's dial which you use to change the level of the vibrations is a bit hard for me to get to while in the middle of playing, but that's just me -- I have small hands and an issue with carpal tunnel, so the angle could play into that.

Cleaning it is very easy, and it stores very conveniently in just about any place. Me, I have mine hidden in a spare [and brand new] opaque make-up pouch, and no one knows the better of it.

My body reacts to this toy very quickly, which is a rare thing, personally. Normally it takes a certain chemistry, which I only have with my ex, to get me so aroused so quickly, but the Jewel had no problems with that. Even with a slight amount of discomfort in the beginning, I was up and running just as fast as this nifty little vibrator, which was great.

So far, I have only used the Jewel by itself, and have not yet tried it in a bath or shower, so I hope you can look forward to a follow-up review soon!

Okay, so I'd initially bought it to replace sex -- as if -- because my lover was currently out of my life. I am happy to report that he's back! Now, this doesn't mean I don't use my Jewel. It's a very lovely toy, and well, one of my firsts, to be quite honest. It has turned out to be awesome! I've had it for a month, just about, and it's amazing! I haven't tested out it's waterproof claim as of yet, but I will definitely do that and then follow up. Bath-time fun??
