I was disappointed by this product and Jay was aggravated (literally, he wanted to smash it after the 50th try) by the remote performance which was the only reason he wanted it.
The egg is remotely controlled however both myself and Jay could not get it to respond unless the control was being held within 6"-12" inches of my stomach (if the egg was inserted). The product was finicky. Sometimes it would respond at a greater distance, other times the pink remote would just flash it's red light with no response. The vibrator seemed to have much more trouble responding around electronics- computers, television sets, etc. I have no idea what would cause this affect however this was consistent around my laptop, Jay's computer, and all of the TVs in our home.
The remote itself is actually quite cute. It is a matching pink with a red light on the top that flashes once the remote is on and once every time you push the button to change a speed. There are only two buttons- the on/off and the "10" which switches the function. You must click to reach your desired setting and complete the whole 10 speed loop to get back to the beginning.
As for reception, I found I had the best luck holding the remote sideways and pushing the button in for a few seconds. Jay had much worse luck. While the egg was inside of me he could rarely get the vibrator to switch functions or turn on/off. Stopping to figure out why the egg wasn't responding made for mood killing breaks in play. Eventually we both became so annoyed by the lack of remote reception that the egg was left on one vibrating function and the remote was cast aside, completely defeating the purpose of having a remote controlled vibrating egg.
The vibrations were actually decent (save for some repeats) and the 10 speeds included:
1 slow, solid buzz
1 medium, solid buzz
1 fast, solid buzz
1 medium to fast buzz that resembles a car accelerating
1 fast, repeating (or throbbing) buzz. If underscores were buzzes it would look like _ _ _ _ _ _ etc.
1 fast, repeating buzz very similar to the previous just much faster.
1 fast, solid buzz
1 slow, solid buzz
1 medium, solid buzz
1 fast, solid buzz
It says 10 function, but many of the vibrations are very similar.
This product's controls are simple and user friendly. Sadly that part is irrelevant because the vibrator rarely reacts to them.
The noise varies based on the speed but compared to other vibrators is not all that loud. Once inserted most of the noise is muffled.
Performance is decent in the water but I wouldn't recommend submerging the egg if not inserted. The only thing separating batteries from the water and preventing corrosion is a simple plastic mechanism which screws the two halves of the bullet together.
The battery life is decent unless only fast vibration settings are used.
Jay says "The functions worked fine, it was just a matter of getting them to work when we wanted. Instead of building on the mood it was detracting from it. Making us stop to try and turn it on or switch functions.. it was terrible."
