Who would have thought that some general store in Vermont would have a little section, back behind the homemade candles and jelly, with Natural Contours vibrators? My wife was eying this one, but it was me who had the guts to buy it for her since she couldn't bring herself to take it to the 97-year-old woman at the cash register. Pretty much as soon as we got home, it became mine. Most guys don't have large collections of vibrators -- I know I don't. Sure, we've rubbed her Magic Wand in areas that made me tingle, but I thought I would have a vibrator that I thought was "mine." That all changed when I was playing around with the Liberte.

For me, there is only one use for this toy. The business end gets held just below my anus and sits on a bundle of nerve endings. It makes me crazy and can make me have an earth-shattering orgasm.

This vibrator is made of lightweight, hard plastic. It uses two AA batteries, which direct the weight into the handle, making the vibrating end extremely light. It is not watertight and does have some seams that could trap fluids, so sharing needs to be done very carefully and with appropriate protection measures.

The design is genius. The vibrations come from the very end, which is shaped to nestle into the perineal space. The wand's shape allows stimulation of the area just behind the scrotum, which is quite pleasurable. This toy does not scream out that it is a sex toy, and it isn't that big, so it is perfect to tuck into a bag with toothbrushes or other toiletries.

The vibrations are strong for a AA battery–powered toy, and they come from the very tip of the wand, which seems to make them stronger. There are three speeds of increasing intensity and a quite orgasmic "pulse" setting. The controls are simple, and it is easy to cycle through the settings. I do have an issue in that the battery door tends to be too easy to open and the batteries can fall out at inopportune times. This toy is not waterproof. Batteries get tired very fast, but it is worth it for this toy. The noise level is very low, except on pulse.

This toy can be wiped clean, but disinfection would be difficult because of the seams and the fact that the toy cannot be submerged. Have lots of AA batteries on hand, as they go pretty fast.

My wife enjoys this toy as well, both for clitoral and internal stimulation. She prefers the straight high-speed vibration.
