There's real potential locked inside this sweetheart of a vibe. Now, if I only knew where the key was. It must be somewhere.

"It's here! It's here!" was the text to my husband. He arrived home just as our postman began filling the slots for our building. He gave him his name and our unit number and was promptly given a long rectangular USPS box and the rest of our mail. Just as he was walking back to the car, the postman called over and told him he had given him the wrong package by mistake. Whew! That was a dodged bullet. We sat down to dinner and, as we talked about the day, I glanced over at the box on the counter. I was dying to see it in real life. Dinner and dishes done, I passed the box to my husband to open it. There it was, in all of its bubblegum pink glory. This was, by far, the most interesting vibrator I had ever owned: petite with a nice girth to it! I couldn't wait to use it.

I popped a battery into it and pressed the button at the top once. Buzzy. Not very intense. I pressed the button again. Medium...not bad, a significant increase. Again. High, MUCH better. This could be good, I announced to my husband. He was interested and made the prediction I would enjoy using it on my clit the most. Well, he was sort of correct. The vibrations change intensity going from strong and solid to weak and superficial, without engaging the control at the base. I thought this was odd and followed the instructions in the manual to make sure all of my connections were solid and replaced the paper in the battery casing. I used a brand new battery -- surely that couldn't be the problem. I passed it to my husband and he said he felt the same thing I did. I decided to use it anyway.

I'm not impressed, nor am I unimpressed. I'm mixed, really. I love the design: the shape, the size, the ribs - it's all perfect. It's the mechanical aspect that is hit or miss with this toy. I really enjoy just letting it sit inside of me while I use a different vibrator on my clit. Rubbing it all over my vagina and clit feels pleasant, but it takes significant pressure and holding it still over one spot for me to orgasm. Even though it wasn't amazing on my clit like a bullet would be, I still had a great orgasm. I was able to rub against my G-spot with the ribs, but it's too short to do a pinpoint massage with the tip. And I especially enjoyed using it in the shower as I was bathing: just slide it and hold! It's completely waterproof.

I might be a little too spoiled in the vibrator arena. I love my bullets and I own a Wahl. I think this would be a good toy for really sensitive clits, women who like penetration while using a clitoral vibrator, and pretty much anyone else who isn't interested in industrial-strength vibes.

The material is ABS plastic with a PU coating and has a material safety rating of 7. There is no noticeable odor or taste.

I really enjoy the smoothness of the coating. It becomes silky when using lubricants and has a bit of friction when used without. The ribbing is noticeable, but not irritating and is great for clitoral and G-spot play.

The bubblegum pink Velvet-Cote™ Mei is visually appealing and silky smooth, with just a tiny bit of drag to it. It is a discreet 5" long with an insertable length of 4" and has three elongated ribs, giving a larger surface area without ribs on one side of the head. The ribs are fairly thick and pronounced on the top and bottom, while slimmer and less pronounced on the sides.

The circumference is around 4" at the head and just under 4" on the shaft. I found the thickness to be filling, but not overwhelming.

This is a simple three-speed vibrator. There is one clear button on the base of the toy that you simply click to increase speeds -- one for low, two for medium, and three for high.

I found the vibrations to be strong, but superficial at times. It is kind of loud and buzzy, but it's not a deal-breaker.

Mei is super easy to clean and 100% waterproof. A mild soap or toy cleaner is all it takes and a pat down with a towel.

It is easily hidden in a pillowcase, small purse/bag, decorative toy pouch, and toy boxes.

I really want to love this vibe with all of my heart, but I think there is work to be done on the motor. It's a great idea and a great design, and I am definitely going to use it regularly because I like the overall length and girth to it. It's my second or third choice when it comes to using a vibrator for clitoral stimulation.

Pro Tip: Do not remove the paper insert in the battery casing -- it serves to keep the battery from moving around on the contact too much.
