I've wanted to try a panty vibe for *checks calendar* YEARS now, and everyone, it ROCKS.

The Panty Throb has a sleek design right up there with the most high-end toys. It closes around the panties with magnetic clips that also help hold it in place, so you can do all sorts of activities while being pleasured by its vibrations. The vibe is made of a silky-soft silicone and contoured for ergonomics, with a bulge to press against the clit and fingerprint-like ridging for maximum sensation. Of the many panty vibe designs I've seen (have I mentioned I've wanted to try one of these things for years?), this is far and away the best design for precision pleasuring I've ever come across. And if that's not enough for you, it also comes with a (very discreet!) remote control, so you and a date can take it out for a hot night on the town.

Once it's in the panties, it DELIVERS. This toy could have been made for my body, specifically with the way it fits right against me. The vibrations vary from low and teasing to squirming-in-your-seat, with fun patterns to keep your partner guessing. While the toy doesn't come with instructions, its one-button design and mini remote control are easy to figure out. If the remote control isn't your thing - or, you know, if you lose it - don't worry! This vibe can still be controlled via the small, flat button on the toy itself (which, don't worry, is very difficult to press accidentally, so you won't risk switching settings while walking around with it on).

Speaking of walking around... yeah, try it. The Panty Throb's titillating vibration patterns will only drive you wilder when moving around, as your body shifts and presses all your sensitive areas against the curves and ridges of the toy. It's guaranteed to drive anyone insane with lust before the panties ever drop. Date night is an obvious suggestion, of course, but my recommendation: Try it out for a fun upgrade to regular household chores ;) It's a game-changer. It stays snugly in place even during activity, so you won't risk suddenly losing your stimulation right when things are getting good.

My only two criticisms of the Panty Throb are: first, it needs to be used with a thong. The magnetic closures don't have a lot of wiggle room, and the toy is fairly narrow, so after trying many attempts at creating some form of origami underpants that would allow me to get this to hold to my regular panties, I've concluded that a thong is the only way to go. (That, or cut up the crotch of some panties.) That's not a dealbreaker for me, but for those who - like me - do not routinely wear thongs: you'll definitely want to get one before your hot date with this vibe.

Second, the vibe is rechargeable rather than battery-operated. This is fully to be expected since it is a very small toy. Many people prefer rechargeable toys; it saves costs since you don't need to continuously buy batteries, and it can be easier if you don't keep batteries on hand. Personally, however, I dislike rechargeable vibes for the simple reason that nothing kills a good 4-hour play session like your vibe dying an hour in and having to wait 3 hours for it to finish recharging! For a panty vibrator that might be worn throughout the night before hitting the sheets, the length of operation time is an especially important factor. Unfortunately, I haven't timed the Panty Throb's full capacity. (Can you blame me? I've been... busy.) Just be sure to charge it up fully before any extended use, and if you're really planning a long session, have a backup toy or two on hand just in case.

This isn't a very loud vibe, so it can easily be worn behind closed doors or in environments with reasonable cover noise levels without risking detection - or maybe only risking detection a LITTLE bit :P One of my biggest worries about a panty vibe was that it would be functionally useless for (quasi)public play since however hot the fantasy of going out to dinner with a vibe in your underwear is, it's less sexy to force everyone in the restaurant to listen to your toy buzz. After all, consent is key, and these people are trying to eat their dinners. That's not a problem with this particular toy, which lives up to the promise of discreet yet mind-blowing foreplay. Let your fantasies go wild! (Bonus: it's also easy to clean, which is great because it WILL end up getting soaked. Make sure that the thong doesn't have to be hand-washed, or you may end up doing a lot of scrubbing.)

For those who are into light BDSM play or just some hot teasing, it's also huge fun to give your partner/yourself a set amount of time and watch them squirm (or do some squirming yourself) on the toy without getting off. Trying not to give yourself away is half the game!

The Panty Throb is undoubtedly orgasm-inducing all on its own, no sex needed, but that doesn't mean it's just for quickies. Whether you want to indulge in some spectacular warm-ups with a partner or partners of your choice, or you're exclusively a solo player, this toy is WELL worth getting for a very sexy warm-up or a long sensuous session of ecstasy. I can easily see this becoming a go-to toy for my days off when I have the time to pleasure myself thoroughly and want a toy that will give me hours on the edge before hitting multiple orgasms. There is a huge range of sexy possibilities that have finally opened up now that I've got my hands on this sweet baby, and I intend to make full use of them!

Overall I'm EXTREMELY pleased with my first foray into the world of panty vibes, and I'm so glad I waited to get one until this perfect design came out - otherwise, I might have gotten a disappointing one and been turned off the whole category. If you've previously tried out a toy of this type and found it lackluster, please: give the Panty Throb a try for me. It will NOT let you down.
