I got this as a free gift, so I wasn't expecting much. But, to my surprise, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. It's made very well with a strong material; it's smooth and doesn't have that draggy feeling on the hands at all, so I didn't need to use any lube. It has several vibration patterns, including escalating and pulsating (fast and slow). I'm the type that needs something strong to get the job done, and while this did work, I found that it took a very long time. I wish it was a little stronger!

It IS waterproof, which is nice. I even ran it under the faucet of the tub for a while and it never stopped working. The light show is a cute bonus, and it keeps in sync with the vibration pattern. It also comes with this little ring that reminds me of a cock ring. I'm not really sure what the functionality of that is; it didn't do anything for me. I tried putting it on the base like a cock ring, which didn't do much, so I put it at the top where the head dips inward, and while that added a bit of texture and girth, it still didn't do much for me. Perhaps others may have better luck with it. It's certainly too small to use as a regular cock ring (so don't do that!). I just tossed that aside.

It's very quiet, even on its highest setting. If you have roommates/suite mates/housemates, I'd say that it's definitely safe to use under the covers in your own room. But I personally wouldn't use it if someone is in the same room unless you know for sure they're a heavy sleeper or you're feeling adventurous and like the risk.

The only main issue I have with this is that it uses cell batteries. Those are really expensive, and it drains it FAST.

Well, today is the day it finally died. (Mid-use, mind you!) This lasted over 10 months, so its really up to your own opinion on if that's a long life or not. To me, that's quite a long time, considering the other toy I purchased with this died before it. As I said in the original review, the batteries die very fast; I think the longest life I got out of one set was about 3 weeks, and I didn't even use it that much during that time. Your best bet is to make sure you take the batteries out before storing. All in all, it wasn't a bad toy while it lasted.
