This toy comes in very simple plastic packaging. The toy itself is made from body safe ABS plastic and is extremely easy to care for. Antibacterial soap and warm water or toy wipes will do the trick. Just be careful not to get water in the wire opening as this toy is not waterproof!

The controls on the toy are very easy to use with one hand, varying from low vibrations to what I consider moderate when on high. The toy does not hold up well under pressure, losing vibrations at that pressure point. However the toy has consistent vibrations throughout the entire four inch shaft, which makes it good for insertion if desired. It runs on just two AA batteries, so the lack of intense power is not too surprising.

I say this is a beginners' toy because of its price, material, and strength. I feel it would be a good 'first time' toy for solo play because it is versatile enough to be used for both internal and external stimulation, and at $15.00 it's not intimidating in price. The material will hold up to some abuse and will store easily, so no special considerations need to be made for care by a beginner.

In addition, this toy can be used for foreplay, massaging, etc. either by you or your partner. It is also travel friendly as it is relatively small and the cord unplugs from the control, so no accidentally turning on in your purse or luggage!

While I wasn't completely disappointed in this toy, it wasn't enough for me to really enjoy. I definitely like that it has a good length of cord and that it is easy to maintain, not to mention it's shiny and pretty heh. Would recommend it for someone who wants something simply and not on the high intensity side of vibrators.
