The Body & Soul Connection vibe by Cal Exotics is available in the colours pink or blue. I have the blue coloured toy. It arrived in a rectangular cardboard package. The front of the box states the product name, company name, product features, and has a photo of the toy. The back of the packaging has the same information as the front as well as stating a few extra product features.



Inside of the box, the toy is wrapped in a plastic bag and there is also an instruction manual. The box is fine to use for storage though it is not discreet. Also, the toy is half the size of the box so it’s not the best storage option if you want to save space. The box can be recycled.



The included instructions are printed in 6 languages. It states the instructions for battery insertion, usage, and warnings. The manual is not product specific. This manual is included with all of the Cal Exotic toys that vibrate.

Body & Soul Connection is made of silicone and ABS (plastic). The massager part of the toy and the button is silicone. The base of the toy is the ABS. The toy reminds me of a cartoon character with the nubs at the top of the toy being the ears. These “ears” are flexible. The ears do not have any texture to them. The toy is smooth. There is a seam line to the toy but for the most part, it cannot be felt. The seam line is pronounced a bit right in between the ears.



I’ve taken a few measurements of the toy but if you need any additional measurements, just send me a message and I can get them for you.

Length of toy (from top of ear to bottom of toy): just less than 4 ¾ inches
Length of ears: 1 inch each
Distance between ears: ¼ of an inch
Circumference of ears: 2 ½ inches
Circumference of base: 6 ½ inches

The toy requires 2x AAA batteries, which are not included. The bottom of the toy twists off to access the battery compartment. It’s very easy to both open and close the compartment. There is a white O-ring to ensure that water doesn’t leak into the compartment. The toy is waterproof but be sure to twist the lid on tightly before bringing it in the shower, bath, etc.



Once you have the batteries in, you’re ready to use the toy. Only water-based lubricants should be used with vibe. There is a single button on the lower front area of the toy. To turn the toy on, you just click the button once. A red LED light will light up the outer area of the button. There are 10 functions/patterns to the Body & Soul Connection. To cycle through them, just continue clicking the button.



The functions are as follows:

1. low, constant vibration
2. medium, constant vibration
3. high, constant vibration
4. steady pulsating
5. short, medium, then long pulse and repeat
6. long pulses
7. three short pulses, then two long pulses and repeat
8. escalating from low to high and repeat
9. variety of length in pulses
10. escalating then pulsating and repeat

To turn the toy off at any time, just hold the button down for a few seconds. When you turn the toy back on, you’re met with the first function (low, constant vibration). It will not save the spot where you had last had it. The 9th function was hard for me to figure out. I had the toy in my hand for about ten minutes trying to count the pulses and figure out there lengths. Eventually I gave up.

The vibrations are very buzzy and not very strong, even on the third function (high, constant vibration). I’m the type to need strong, rumbling vibrations so this toy could not satisfy me. I used the toy for clitoral stimulation but ended up using my Couture Inspire because Body & Soul just lacked the power and vibe type that I need.

While I used the toy for clitoral stimulation, the toy could also be used for stimulation around the anus, nipples, or other erogenous zones. The ears to the toy are quite short but I suppose you could insert an ear if you really wanted to. The vibrations can be felt the most at the top of each ear.

The power level to the toy is probably a 3 out of 5 vroom on the highest setting. The noise to the toy is buzzy and loud when there is no pressure applied to the ears of the toy. When you press the ears of the toy against whatever part of the body you’re using it for, the noise level decreases. When the toy is in use (meaning pressure is applied to the ears), it cannot be heard through a closed door. When the toy is on but no pressure is being applied to the ears, it CAN be heard through closed doors.

I had read in a couple other reviews that the toy did not perform in water. I didn’t use the toy in water but submerged it in water before cleaning the toy. I filled the sink up with water and held the toy under the water for about 20 seconds. I pressed the button to turn the toy on and everything was fine. I cycled through the settings while the toy was submerged and it still worked.

So as long as you close the lid tightly, it should perform under water for you unless you’ve received a defective product. After doing the water test, I let the toy dry and checked to see if the toy still worked (which it did). I checked the battery compartment and there was no water inside.

With the toy being waterproof, it’s extra easy to clean. You can use soap and water, toy wipes, or a toy cleaning spray. Wiping it down with rubbing alcohol can sanitize the toy. The material does collect a bit of lint/pet hair/etc so it would be a good idea to clean the toy both before and after each use.

Overall, it’s a cute toy but just doesn’t work for me. The toy has some good qualities like being waterproof, silicone, and with a variety of functions but you need to prefer buzzy, mild vibrations to fully enjoy this toy.

Sadly, this toy is collecting dust. It doesn't have the power I need so I never reach for it during play time. I still would not recommend it.
