This was my first ever vibrator toy. I wanted something simple that would let my husband and I experiment with vibration and be a 'friendly' introduction to spice in the bedroom. That is exactly what I got with the Vivid's Swirl Marble Vibrator! I purchased the purple swirl. The color is fantastic, bright and inviting. The usage of this toy is about as simple as they come. Just put in the batteries, replace the cap, and you are good to go! The material is a basic hard plastic. It is very smooth and the material lets it glide well with little lubrication, and little to no friction when using it externally.

To turn the vibe on and off, you twist the top of the battery cap. There are no bells and whistles - no fancy vibration patterns or functions, which makes it ideal for beginners. It is somewhat small, being only about 6 inches in length. To maintain a good hold you can really only insert 4-5 inches. This was fine for me, but may leave some people wanting. However, the smaller size makes it easy to hold and maneuver and good for clitoral stimulation. It is not an exceedingly powerful toy, but for its size, it does have a good level of vibration. I personally prefer it to some of the bullets I have tried when it comes to clitoral stimulation because of the level of power it offers and how easy it is to hold onto and control.

For me, one of the more surprising aspects of this toy was its life. I was able to get a year of use from it with no issues. Unfortunately after that it laid unused in a box for a while and rust developed and corroded the battery compartment and it was no longer usable. For such a low price, it really is a great little vibrator and not only would I recommend it, I may even be purchasing another!
