Buddie for the Short Term
This very cute toy; it's just too loud. The idea was great, just not what I hoped. The interchangeable tops are very handy, as well, even though two of them are sharp but they can be used for sensory play.
Published:
Pros
4 different interchangeable tips, waterproof, 100% phthalate free
Cons
loud noise, 2 of the caps are too sharp
I have heard so much about the Buzz Buddies it seemed silly not to try one out for myself. You can get the Buzz Buddies in different "animals" and they are all so cute! I got the oh so cute Shivers, you can also get Pandy, Paws and Frisky. The box Shivers came in showed 9 different "animals" but even on the Buzz Buddies Website they only have the four for sale. Each Buzz Buddie comes with their own special story on the back of the box.
Shivers Buzz Buddies Story:
"Brrrrrr", said Shivers as he woke up. "I'm in my nice bed with my big quilt, but I'm still cold!" Shivers opened his front door to investigate, and saw that his house was covered in snow! He started to dig himself out, but after awhile, he had snow all around him and felt like he was standing in a freezer. It was very cold and Shivers was half frozen when he heard a tapping sound. It kept getting louder and louder until a beak appeared through the snow. It was Chilly the Penguin! Shivers was so happy he cave Chilly a great big hug, but Chilly started laughing instead. "What's so funny?" asked Shivers. "I came here to build a snowman," Chilly answered, "But instead , I found a snow bear!" The two started laughing and Shivers felt much warmer. He had just made a new friend.
The Buzz Buddies are a pocket rocket that come with 4 interchangeable tips. Shivers has an easy twist control and takes one AA battery (not included). If you have kids I would definitely keep this up because it looks like a child's toy with it being so cute and all.
It's also waterproof so cleaning it will be easy. It is made of hard shiny, plastic so its safe with water, oil and silicone based lubricants. It's phthalate free and latex free.
Two of the caps that fit over the vibrating end are sharp and might not feel as good on tender body areas, however, it could be great for sensory play.
Buzz Buddies are pretty small they are 5 3/4 tall and 1 inch in diameter and pack a nice punch in vibrations and in noise. Buzz Buddies only have one speed: "BZZZZZZZZ" it has one of the stronger vibrations I've felt in a pocket rocket but it may also be one of the loudest. Sounds like a sewing machine! I can hear it through a closed door, so I would not recommend this to college students or anything.
I tried out all the caps for the Shivers Buzz Buddie and I would personally have to say that the one with little flat nubs is my favorite, it also has a smooth round one, a round one with pointy bunched up sharp bumps on it and a flat cap with well spaced sharp bumps. Its also on the pricey side for $28.99 so I personally don't think its worth the money unless you love cute vibrators. Like I said; this toy is way cute, but not for everyone.

This was great to have at first, but after a few uses, it went back in the box and has yet to come back out. It's just too loud to deal with, and the little guy on top makes it hard to handle.

The story seems a bit creepy to me given the toy's ultimate purpose but it's sort of cute too...
