The Iconic is best used for clitoral stimulation, but if you enjoy vibrations anywhere else it could certainly work there as well. You can use it alone or with a partner, due to the small size, either as a warm-up or during intercourse.

No smell or taste. The texture was great - smooth plastic all around with little stationary bumps at the head. I went from using a rabbit to a Hitachi to the Iconic and the texture really helps me finish quickly. It's small enough that it's able to stimulate a specific area.

The measurements are: Length: 4 1/2", Circumference: 3", Diameter:7/8".

I really like the simplistic design. It's small, light, and smooth - but not slippery, which has been great. I've had bullets in the past that are so small and smooth they just fall if I move my hand too quickly. I would say this is great for beginners because you can't really go wrong but I've been using toys for years and this works great for me as well. It is incredibly easy to hide, it's smaller in length than my finger so it fits just about anywhere. It's easy to hold, hide, and use - three of the things I look for in a design!

To use the Iconic, all you have to do is turn the bottom part clockwise. You have to be sort of careful when turning it off that you don't accidentally open it. I can feel the vibrations throughout the entire item, but they're strongest at the tip. I would say the best function is that it starts strong and stays strong, though I wish I could change the vibration intensity to be higher or lower. It's very convenient, very easy, and very quiet. I have yet to try it in the water, though - I'll include that in a follow-up!

It's waterproof so you can just wash it off! I use a basic soap and warm water. Because I use it for clitoral stimulation I don't use a lube - though I don't imagine it would make cleaning it more difficult if you chose to. It can also be used with any type of lubricant. I keep it in the small box it came in.

The toy was in a very small box with instructions on the inside. I would say the package cannot be used as a gift or storage box unless you want someone to know what you're giving them. It took me a few minutes to figure out that turning it all the way to one side opened it (I was scared to pull it in case it broke) but once I figured it out it was very easy as there are only three settings (on, off, open). It did come with a battery though, so you can practically use it right out of the box!

I really love the Iconic. I can see why it wouldn't be ideal for some people, but despite its misgivings it's been great for me. I was previously using the Hitachi but I've all but given it up for the more localized vibrations of the Iconic.
