The Eden Silicone Bendi is a pretty toy with 10 modes which provide an extremely pleasurable experience; no matter how you decide to use it. I don't believe that this toy is for beginners. It was bigger than I had expected, so it definitely required some warming up before I could use it. If you can manage the size, however, it is extremely fun and just the right level of intensity (which you can easily manipulate with the different modes). This toy can be used alone, or with a partner. Either way, this toy is a keeper.

The silicone material of the bendi is safe, soft, and smooth. It does not have any noticeable smells. The texture itself is very pleasant and has the perfect combination of flexibility and softness, without being too "flimsy." The material has also held up well with use, which is a definite pro, and the bendi itself appears to have a really good life-span. I also didn’t have any issues keeping hold of the bendi, which is an absolute pro. The silicone is non-porous and easy to clean without fear of missing anything, due to its simple shape. It’s important to remember not to use a silicone based lube with this toy, especially since you will definitely want to keep it at its best!

The design was functional and the shape of the bendi was perfect for its purpose. The flexibility of the toy was an additional, and very much welcomed, bonus. The toy is not exactly discreet, and cannot be mistaken for something else. It should be kept out of sight if it’s meant to be kept hidden from other people. Despite this, hiding this toy is easier accomplished than some others. Even though it is big, it is not so big that it can’t be hidden in a compact area, and its shape is simple enough to easily fit in smaller areas. I also believe that, if desired, this toy can be used for travel (remember to remove the batteries! The last thing you want is for security (or friends) to have to “take a look” because something started vibrating in your luggage or your bag!)

The 10 modes of the bendi make it ideal. The vibrations of the various modes differ, allowing variety and the discovery of the perfect stimulation. I especially like that there were three basic vibrations which ranged from high, medium, and low, so you could decide how intense you wanted to play. However, the size of the button means that there have been a couple times when I’ve changed the mode without intending to. Despite the intensity, the noise the bendi made was much less than I had expected, and while it couldn’t be used in the same room as someone else without the noticing, it really can’t be heard outside a closed door.

Though my bendi wasn’t used regularly, it was completely worth it for the time it functioned. However, it is possible that mine was defective, as it suddenly began to shut itself down and the intensity of the vibrations diminished a great deal. I also noticed that while online it says that the toy is waterproof, the packaging of the silicone bendi stated that it is not to be used when bathing or in the shower, which was a real bummer for me as that was one of the main aspects of the bendi which appealed to me.
