Looking for a couples' toy? A toy that is definitely more fun when two people are involved? The C-string Vibrating Panty is designed to be used by a party of two or perhaps more. It's debatable which person is on the most rewarding end of the C-String, but it gets worn by a female and then the remote control can be used by anyone else to set her crotch a vibrating! The range on the Vibrating Panty is excellent and the power is strong also. With this comes a little bit of noise, but that can be solved by the venue in which it is used. It's easy to use and take care of. With it's design it also sort of blends in with other household items. It is best designed for use by a female wearer who is part of an adventurous couple! Not afraid to try new things or potentially get caught doing something naughty? This is the exact thing you may need to spice things up!

The toy itself is made of hard and smooth plastic. It doesn't feel like it will easily break due to its thickness. The panty is a nice and slightly silky black. It's breathable and not at all scratchy.

The design of the C-String is fairly simple. It's shaped like a C, hence the name and has a large, more bulbous portion in the front part of the panty. This is where the vibrator is housed along with the 2 AAA batteries. The widest portion is about 3 1/4" wide. This fits comfortably against the pubic bone since the inside is concave slightly. The down side to this is that the outside is a little concave, but there are ways to avoid the toy being scene easily while being worn. Also on the inside of the toy are two parts that slightly stick out. The purpose of this is to gently reach more towards the vaginal opening and clitoris.

Attached to the Front portion is a slender and long curved part. This slips between the legs and butt cheeks. At the very end is a little bulb. It helps to anchor the design and keep it from sliding around. It is fairly flexible so that it can stay snug but also fit a variety of body types. It is designed as one size fits all, which really means that it mostly fits "average" body types. The panty is black with lace, but from the looks of the box, it also comes in a bright pink version. At least the black is doesn't draw attention to itself and could hide easily in a panty drawer. The design does allow for it to partially fold up to save a little space.

The remote is small, about the size of a club cracker. There are three buttons and a small light up screen. There are no indications on the remote as to what it is for.

This toy is very easy to use. It has quite a bit of variety without being overwhelming either. To turn the toy on just press the on/off button. The blue light up screen will display the level the toy is on. Simply pressing the on/off button doesn't start the vibrations, however. This is a nice feature in case it is hit by accident. Press the + button to start the first of ten different vibration modes. The vibrations can mostly be felt in the front of the toy, but they do travel to the back. Overall, they are of a higher vibration frequency, are buzzy, but powerful.

1. Medium steady vibration
2. High steady vibration
3. Very high steady vibration
4. High fast pulsing
5. Short pulse of level 1, 2, then 3
6. Fast pulse of level 2, then longer pulses
7. Flutter pulses of level 2, then longer pulses of level 3
8. Fast high pulses, then flutter of a lower intensity
9. Alternating between high and low level with no pause
10. Long steady pulse of lower level, followed by flutter fast pulses

The noise level is a little high for a toy of this type, being that it is supposed to be as discreet as possible, but it isn't bad. It can't be heard easily over a Tv at a normal level or from another room with some background noise. In a quiet environment, it is easy to hear, however. Because of this it is best used in more crowded places, like malls, bars, clubs, etc. It isn't meant for use in water.

Care of this toy is easy! For one, the makers have made it allowed for easy cleaning by putting a zipper in the panty sleeve. It can be removed and then thrown in the wash with the rest of your dirty laundry. The plastic can be wiped down with a damp wash cloth and a little soap or a toy cleaning wipe. Parts of the design have exposed wires, so I don't recommend saturating it any more than that.

It doesn't need lubrication of any kind, but does require two AAA batteries which are provided. The quality of these batteries is low and they last only for about a short session or two with the toy before they die. Remove the batteries before storage to help elongate their life. A 12 V battery is required for the remote, which is also provided.

The packaging for this toy doesn't quite match the quality of it. It makes it seem more like a gag gift than it should, so if you're giving it as a gift, a different box might be better. The box does have illustrations about the flexibility and function on it, so it also isn't discreet. The front also has a mostly naked lady on it, making it less appropriate for discreet storage. Inside is a very brief instruction page.

So how is this toy best used? Well, I first wouldn't recommend wearing it with yoga pants of any sort unless you don't mind people wondering what the little bulge is in your pants. I'd compare it to wearing a pad for your period. Under a pair of jeans, it is much less noticeable. If you want to go completely unnoticed, wear it with a skirt or dress. I wore them under jeans and had a longer flowy shirt on which covered the area.

At first we did experiments in our home. I could be on one end of the house and him on the other, and the toy would still respond to the remote! Wowza! The C-String's range is very impressive! This is through multiple walls and a door. I didn't expect it to work that well. Other remote toys I have barely work after about 10 feet.

We used this around the house and out shopping. I have to say that I didn't get off to the toy itself, but it's more the idea of getting caught, doing this in public, and having someone else control the pleasure. The vibrations are a bit too buzzy for me and the toy felt uncomfortable after awhile, mostly in the butt region. When walking it starts to rub and that can be annoying. To avoid this, wear them over panties.

Overall, I was more pleased with this than I thought I would be. The box made it seem more like a gag gift than a functional one, but that wasn't the case. This toy hasn't resulted in an orgasm for me, but it has turned me on greatly and added excitement to sexual adventures later in the day.

If I could give this toy 3 1/2 stars I would. I'm rounding to 4 for the purposes of an objective review.
