I love dual purpose toys! Why have one, when you can have two, three or four functions has long been my motto. So I was excited when my Dolphin arrived as I knew of it's capabilities and was excited to explore them all. It wasn't long before it was removed from it's box and was ready to be explored.

The first thing I noted was the wonderful color of this toy, a deep blue that reminded me of the ocean in a variety of ways. The next thing was that this is no lightweight when it comes to size, especially circumference. Measuring in at a hefty 4 3/4" and with over 5' inches of that shaft being insertable I felt my excitement grow. I like my toys like I enjoy my guys on the larger side of the width scale and I'm not afraid to admit it! The dolphin itself is not small either and sits comfortably on the side of the shaft just waiting to be unleashed into an ocean of lube.

One thing that is hard to miss when you first open this toy is it's odor, distinctive and not so pleasant. Even after a month in use it still has that distinct smell about it, even if it is a little less pervasive. The odor comes from the fact that the Dolphin is made from Jelly. Jelly always smells a lot like plastic. Personally, it didn't bother me as I'm aware that all Jelly toys have an odor.

I had some initial trouble inserting the 2AA batteries into the base of the vibe as there are no clear instructions. I found this a little disappointing, but no worries I figured it out and with a turn of the base secured them into their waterproof housing.

It's worth noting that the base is a suction cup that is designed to allow the Dolphin vibe to be held in place while you ride it. I have to say I was impressed by the amount of suction this little sucker provided. So I wet the base and added some silicone lube, and with a quick turn this Dolphin was ready to be ridden, and ride it I did!

The one downfall of this toy is the fact that it has only one vibration strength that I could detect. It was definitely powerful and, surprisingly, not that noisy. As I began to ride the shaft a little more vigorously I found other flaws in the vibe's design. If you squat over the vibe and lower yourself down it feels great but if you happen to twist the wrong way it has a habit of turning itself off. I found there was a fine line between on and off when it came to the power. In turning off the battery housing opened and allowed a small amount of water to seep in. It was really bad timing as my Dolphin was about to have the ocean wash over me like a tidal wave!

On the plus side, I love the dolphin attachment on the side of the shaft that, for me, acted as a great clit stimulator and added a lot to my experience. With a little bit of maneuvering I was able to get his nose to hit just the right spot and help push me over the edge of the wave. This was mainly because the bullet vibe that powers this is located in the belly of my beautiful blue dolphin. I have to note here that this was a lot easier to position when I laid flat than when I was riding it.

Clean up is really easy because this is a waterproof toy, just add some mild soap and water, let air dry and your done. Jelly toys should always be stored away from other toys as they do not play well with others and this dolphin is no exception.

I've never bothered to share my Dolphin with Hubby because this really is a solo play toy. When the shaft is inserted and the Dolphin's nose is positioned there is little room for anything else and to be honest I didn't feel like I needed anything else.

First experience was great.
