I received this little vibe through standard mail service. It arrived well protected with no damage done to the box or product. The vibe is the 7-function remote vibe that comes in the choice of one of two colors, blue or a strawberry red (I received the strawberry). The plastic package is 6 1/2 by 4 by 2 inches and includes the vibe, the remote, as well as the three 1.5V batteries to power the vibe and the tiny 12V single battery to power the remote. The loading of the battery in the remote is simple, a push of the tab is all. The loading of the batteries for the vibe requires you to twist off the bottom of the vibe where a loop handle is located, and once off, three openings are reveled within a chamber. On the side of that chamber you will see the symbols of a battery for each opening to tell you which direction they should be inserted...Two up, one down is how the batteries should be.

The Vibe is a product of Doc Johnson and is 4 inches long and 1 & 1/2 inches wide. The remote is 2 & 1/2 inches long and 1 & 1/4 inches wide.The vibe also has three ridges or "ribs" on it and starts with a 3/4 inch tip that increases to 1/4 inch per rib to its 1 & 1/2 inch base. Both are compact and both come with cord handles. The remote comes with a key chain hook on its end. Two buttons are on the remote, an on/off button and a number 7 button as well as a light that will indicate your speed. A single click of the 7 button will work you through each of the different speeds. One press starts with a short low vibration, a second press is a medium vibration and the third click is the strongest of the vibrations. Now, the fourth press is a low vibration that quickly builds to a strong vibration within a second or two than stops and starts the action over again. Press again for the 5th time and you have a strong pulse while the sixth is a quicker, shorter pulse and last but not least, the final press combines the pulses and vibrates in a 3 pulse than a vibration sequence. The next click turns the vibe off.

The vibe, upon arrival, did not smell of any type of plastic or perfume. The vibe is shower safe although the remote is not. The remote is powerful enough to work from another room and worked for us from a whole second level of the house. It's made from a material called PU coated plastic and is phthalate free. To clean, the cap tightens very securely so it's safe to clean directly under a facet or use an alcohol wipe and dry with a standard cloth towel. To store: the key chain hook, located on the remote handle, allows you to link the remote and vibe together for safe keeping, and since the hard plastic is not a lint magnet, you can store it practically anywhere. Water or silicone based gels or lube also will not harm the product, I used the vibe masturbating one day and had Liquid V on my clit and it never harmed the plastic and washed off nicely. Just make sure not to use oil based lubes.

My husband used it on me in the 69 position the first time with him at the controls. He inserted the entire vibe inside me, leaving only the cord handle hanging out. It gave him the opportunity to provide his normal tongue action on my clit while controlling the different speeds of the vibe within me. It would occasionally hit my spot when he would pull the cord handle to the vibe. All the speeds are nice and offer a different internal feeling. Although I enjoyed the intense vibration of setting 3, I really enjoyed the mini internal shock wave feelings I felt with and the varied pulse settings of 4-5-6-7, especially setting 6...my favorite. I used the pulse settings of 5 and 6 the second time, a day later, while in the shower. I fully inserted the vibe, like before, but in a standing position, and it stayed safely inserted. AGAIN, the remote is NOT waterproof, so dry the hand before grabbing it to change speeds! The third time was alone in bed with me working through the speeds while just concentrating it on my clit. It worked wonderful at any of the speeds although I grew a fondness for the 6th speed because I liked the quickness and intensity of the pulses. Even at its highest speed though, my clit never got sore from over vibration but tingled like that from a standard vibrator.
I recently tried it fully inserted under my bikini while sunning myself. The vibe was very quite and comfortable and the remote was a lifesaver for when others were directly around me. Later that night, I placed it on the underside of my husbands erect penis before intercourse and got him VERY aroused.

Hmmmm, after 4 months I still like my mini vibe. The battery situation has worked out "somewhat" okay, but I still go through times where I want to grab and go with it only to find the batteries have been drawn down because I didn't unscrew the cap enough. That is still a huge issue to me with this toy. Now as far as my husband is concerned, anytime I'm naked is a great time for him as he loves using any toy on me, but he does particularly like the remote control feature that this toy has as much as I do during times when I want hands-free pleasuring.
The only reason it has not been used more has been because I am now collecting quite a small stash of love toys that we tend to alternate from. But as far as my interest in this toy, I still enjoy it from time to time and would still recommend it.
