I'd been interested in trying a wearable, insertable toy for a while now. Unfortunately, the first such toy I tried that was advertised as "wearable" turned out to not work at all as a wearable toy, at least for me. I decided to try again, as it looked promising, though when it arrived on my doorstep, I was still pretty skeptical about whether or not this toy would work as advertised.
Cara arrived early, along with some other purchases, in Eden's usual nondescript brown shipping box. The sender is listed as "Web Merchants Inc.", so those with privacy concerns can rest easy. Inside this shipping box and nestled in brown paper, the Cara was contained inside very nice packaging (since I didn't order this as a review assignment, I recycled the box before I thought to take pictures of it; sorry!). The box features an indiscreet outer sleeve that has pictures of the toy and information about its features. This outer sleeve slips off to reveal a very nice, classy-looking plain black box that would be perfectly discreet for gifting and/or storage. Inside the box and nestled in a foam insert I found the Cara itself, along with its remote and charging cable.
Cara comes in a lovely light baby pink colour, and I was instantly impressed by how soft and smooth the silicone felt. Both the toy and the remote are covered in extremely smooth, silky silicone that produces very little drag and feels wonderful against the skin. I was a little surprised by just how small Cara turned out to be. I knew it wasn't a large toy, but somehow I'd expected it to look a little bigger. As you can see in my photos below, the insertable portion of Cara is roughly the length of a standard Bic cigarette lighter, and not much thicker. This definitely isn't a toy designed for someone with a deep G-spot, or someone who needs a lot of girth. However, since I seem to have a relatively shallow (or perhaps average) G-spot depth and enjoy small toys, the small size didn't bother me. The design is adorable, with its kitty shape, complete with a little flexible silicone tail to stimulate the perineum. The insertable portion of the toy is quite flexible, but the cat's "face" (which functions as the clitoral stimulator) is rigid and not flexible at all. This rather disappointed me, and made me concerned that Cara wouldn't fit my anatomy well and/or would not stay in place as a "wearable" toy.
Next I turned my attention to how the toy functioned. As with all toys I've ordered from Eden, Cara arrived with a charge, so I was able to test it out right away. Cara has a single button on the bottom of the toy itself. This turns the toy on and off when held for a few seconds, and cycles through the toy's functions when pressed more quickly (pretty standard). This toy also has a remote (though you don't need the remote to control the toy). To use the remote, you must first turn on the toy using the power button on the toy itself, then hold down the power button on the remote to activate the remote. A blue light will flash briefly on the remote when it's activated. Once the remote is on, you can change the toy's functions by pressing the second squiggly line button on the remote. If you hold down the power button on the remote, the toy will go into "stand-by mode," where the toy is still on, but is not vibrating. To turn the toy off, you must hold down the button on the toy itself. You cannot power the toy on and off with the remote. All pretty standard for remote-operated toys.
Cara has 9 different vibration modes. Three are varying intensities of steady vibrations, and the rest are patterns. The clitoral stimulator and the internal stimulator each have their own motor, but they vibrate in unison. I noticed that the motor in the internal stimulator was noticeably stronger than the motor in the clitoral stimulator, which was a little disappointing, but both motors seemed to have decent power and a good quality to the vibrations.
Overall, I was a little iffy about some aspects of Cara, but I was still very excited to give it a try!
