The Butterfly Kiss by California Exotics is a clit and insert-able vibrator that uses a butterfly to vibrate and stimulate. The wings, body and antennae are the parts of the butterfly that are mounted atop the handle of the vibrator. The small insert-able piece is made of a small shaft and a bulbous bit at the tip.

The Base- The battery hatch of this toy is made of hard plastic but about an inch up the toy's base turns to TPR.

Shaft- The shaft is fairly soft and pliable and covered with tiny upraised hearts.

Vibrator The clit vibrator is in the shape of a tiny butterfly. It's wings are stubby and cute, and its antennae are curved over its ribbed body. The bullet, in this toy, is located beneath the clit portion. This is the only bullet but it seems strong enough to send vibrations up the shaft. The noise level is fairly reasonable but if you are nervous about roommates/neighbors hearing, this may not be the toy for you.


The Battery's- The two 1.5 volt batteries required AAA. These won't last as long as another toy with AA's will but the vibrations are surprisingly hard.

The Material and Care- TPR is a little more porous than silicone. You should not share this toy with a non-fluid bonded partner. If you are going to share it is suggested you use a condom over your "Original Butterfly".Be careful with this material, it is so sticky it will rip out hair!

This vibe is easy to clean because it is waterproof. You can wash it with soap or water in the sink or tub or use a wet rag to wipe it down. Eden wipes are a handy way to keep your toys clean but I suggest something more heavy duty for this Butterfly vibe. Hairs, dust, and lint will stick to the plastic!
The material is soft and feels lifelike when it is inserted however; it will collect a great deal of lint if left out. This can only be fixed by keeping your toy in a clean place, away from others, and washing it constantly. Feel free to use any type of lube with the Butterfly Kiss.

Packaging-The small box this comes in isn't discrete but it is very cute. I could see this as a funny gift for at bridal shower. It isn't intimidating and includes directions for first time vibrator users.



The Settings-
This toy cycles through three different settings, lower to higher.
The lowest- Hard as a cell phone vibration. This setting also works well for nipple stimulation but be careful, the stickiness of the material may be uncomfortable on dry skin!
The medium setting- The same steady vibrations.
The hardest- I can feel the vibrations all the way up my arm when I hold the toy. These vibrations are extremely hard but as the batteries die, the vibrations will become softer.
To turn the toy off, you must cycle though all the settings.

I usually find California Exotics toys to be inexpensive, but not always high quality. I think this toy is actually very impressive for the line. The butterfly concept is original and fun and the vibrations were variable. I love the waterproof function of the Original Butterfly Kiss and it fits wonderfully alongside my usual glass shower toys.

Overall I say-
Although this is a fun waterproof toy, I would rather buy something that doesn't collect as much lint. I think I will stick with my glass collection and use this as a novelty. I haven't yet tried it in the tub yet, but maybe that will win me over!

I don't really use the Butterfly Kiss anymore, instead it gathers lint in my toy box. I think the Kiss is alright for beginners, but, because I have gathered so many toys this one isn't at the top of my list. The material isn't as smooth and easy to clean as my silicone vibes and, while it is cute, it doesn't pack as hard of a punch as the Hitachi.
