This vibrator is great for single users and ladies with the clit-o-steel! You can use this toy in partner use as well as single. If you can get past the flaws in the functionality, you can surely reach your peak. It can also be used for the beginners on the lowest of levels.

When opening the package, I did not get a very strong odor from it at all. It has a very smooth texture and no taste at all. The smooth texture allows for it to slip right with the proper lubrication. The Duchess is made of TPR, a somewhat porous material. Once again this toy can be used for beginners or advanced users.

Overall, I think the design is super cute and perfect for the girls who want a pretty toy. The sizing is perfect with bumps going all down the shaft to ensure G-spot stimulation once the rotation mechanism is turned on. I would not try and travel with this toy however because it is not very discreet.

The toy has two functions with multiple levels. The Vibration button is on top and the rotation is on bottom, press each button once to start the toy. Press the button again for the next function. To turn the toy off hold down each button for about 3 seconds. The rotation has 3 different settings (right, left, alternate.)The rotation gives a nice, strong, and intense feeling. The vibration function has five settings (low, medium, high, one to match the alternate, and pulse.)The vibrations are nice, strong, and come straight from the clitoral arm. Unfortunately the cap does not hold the AAA batteries in tight enough so you literally have to hold the batteries in place. This toy is about as loud as a phone vibration, an outsider would not be able to hear this over music behind a closed door. This toy says waterproof but after I got out of the shower, there was obvious traces of water.

Though this toy is difficult on functionality, it is super simple to clean. I used the Eden Fantasy's Toy Cleaning Wipes. You can store this toy in the bottom of your sock drawer as long as you clean it off before use. Water and Silicone based lubes are best.

My favorite part of the toy was the strength of the clitoral arm. Despite its flaws it could make a rather good experience for both you and your partner. If California Exotics could fix the battery compartment and make it waterproof this toy would be a 5 star toy. If they get these two things fixed I would recommend it to almost anyone. As for right now the little flaws make it just shy of a good toy.
