Dolly Dolphin|G-spot vibrators: Dolly dolphin II by Fun Factory is an exquisite silicone vibrator. She arrived at my door as my best friend and I were just sitting down for afternoon tea, so we pulled her out of the box, taking turns running our fingers along her red velvety body and imagining what she’d feel like inside...

Once night fell, and I could escape to my boudoir, I lit a pomegranate candle for ambiance and turned out the lights. Then I grabbed Dolly Dolphin and some lube. Orgasms rank high on my list of favorite stress-relievers, especially after a rough day, so I was eager to see what kind of waves Dolly could offer me.

Her bottle-nosed tip is perfectly tapered to ease into your pussy. She pushed up against my wetness and slid into me rather effortlessly, as the vibrations guided her deeper and deeper inside. I’ve previously owned another one of Fun Factory’s vibes, the Gigolo|G-spot vibrators: Gigolo by Fun Factory. The Gigolo felt great against my g-spot, and Dolly didn’t seem like she’d be able to take care of business. But boy was I wrong! Dolly's dolphin body pushes up against the g-spot with surprising skill for a just-right fit that will deliver that mind-blowing orgasm (or orgasms!) time and time again. She can be counted on to provide reliable vibrations—everything from the slightest tingle to an oh-my-god-I-don’t-how-much-I-can-take vibration that will rock your body hard. The best part? Dolly is controlled by an easy wheel mechanism, that you can spin operate with one finger or one hand (yes, even if you’re slippery with lube) as you pump her in and out.

Some friendly words of caution: Always use water-based lubricant with silicone toys like Dolly. Also, do not submerge this toy in water. Fun Factory’s vibes can handle splashes from the shower, but bath-time is a no-no. And take note that Dolly’s vibrations decrease significantly if her batteries are running out of juice. If you’re settling down for a long play session, make sure you pop two fresh AA batteries into her before you begin. I learned the hard way in one of my nighttime romps with her; Dolly died on me right before I reached my big O. Trust me, ladies, it is much, much better to be over-prepared then to run into that dilemma. Buy your batteries in bulk!

Dolly plays with enthusiasm. She’s a well-made, quality toy that earns 4 stars for her charming good looks, buttery soft skin, excellent hygiene and rock-your-world vibrations.

Unfortunately, Dolly and I didn't stay best of friends for long. I don't know what it is about me and Fun Factory's vibes, but there is some kind of inherent incompatibility. It reminds me of the quotation, "The only reason relationships ever end is because of incompatibility."

Perhaps that is true, 'cause that's sure why Dolly and I split up. One day I took her out and lubed her up, turned my tunes up, and got ready to enjoy a hard-earned play session and at least a handful of earth-shattering Big Os. But much to my dismay, Dolly didn't wake up to play. No matter which way I turned her multi-speed dial, I wasn't met with any vibration or any of her familiar soothing hum.

Flustered, I grumbled to my partner and found some new batteries. Popped 'em in carefully, held my breath, turned the dial... and still... nothing, nada, zip, zilch.

I loved Dolly so much in her youth, and am still quite fond of her silicone body and perfectly curvy shaft. I can't bring myself to recycle her. So instead, she sits at the bottom of my toybag now, waiting for a rainy day when I find myself wanting to play with a non-vibrating (yet once-vibrating) vibe-turned-dildo with a familiar shape that I know gets me off. But instead of Dolly doing the work to bring me to screaming pleasure moans, she's manually operated now. (Keyword: man, as in operated by a man. Hee.)
