I'm always looking for some unique, fun products to enhance mine and hubby's intimate time. With so many items out there, it's hard to find one that does something different or better than the handful of favorites we've collected. This one looked so cute and fun, I had high hopes for it. The great price cinched it for me.

It arrived in a classic, tasteful box that focused on the actual product with a nice, clear photo, a description and a flap with a window that allowed you to view the real thing. I always appreciate it when products don't have mostly naked people with flawless bodies plastered all over it.

Upon removal from the box, the vibrator seemed sturdy enough and well made - especially for the price. It requires 2 AAA batteries (not included). It's around 6" long and 1" in diameter. The handle is made of a hard plastic with flexible coils attaching the head. The ridged head is a made of a soft velvety TPR and is about 2" in length. It is compatible with water-based and silicone-based lubes. This material is porous, so be sure to use a condom over it if sharing toys. This toy is not water-proof and this fact along with the coils can make it somewhat difficult to clean well. It's fairly quiet. As long as you have a room to yourself, noise won't be an issue.

The controls are simple and straightforward. One button. Three speeds to cycle through. Then off.

So enough of the little details and onto my actual experience with using this product:

I was pretty excited about this awesome-looking toy at first. The vibrations seemed pretty buzzy - not out-of-this-world strong, but at least stronger than most vibrators. For solo play, it's wonderful because of course, you're in control of the toy and you know what feels good. If you're looking for a toy for that purpose alone, this one is a winner.

However, if you're looking for a product for couple's play (which is what I bought it for), it has its flaws. The problem is all of the vibration is in the head of the toy and being that the head is such a small area, unless your partner is solely focused on that, it's nearly impossible to keep it in the right position. And even if he isn't distracted with other things, it's still hard to hold it in the exact right area. The handle being plastic also tends to end up sort of slippery - with natural lubricant or lube from a bottle - which also adds to the difficulty of keeping it in the right place. After awhile (and we tried it numerous times with the same results), I just ended up frustrated.

The vibrations, while nice and buzzy, tend to be somewhat numbing after awhile. I also find it takes a very light touch to get the most of the vibrations and men (at least mine) tend to get a bit carried away and apply too much pressure, drowning out the bulk of the vibrations. Another part I didn't like is the coils. While they do provide for some flexibility with the head, if your partner happens to slide the toy down further and certain delicate parts come into contact with the coils, it's not all that pleasant. In fact, it feels pretty rough and uncomfortable.
