This vibrator was the very first toy I have purchased for myself and I couldn't be happier. I bought it under the advisement of some more experienced friends and for the price tag attached, I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoy it. I've used it many times to masturbate, lying on my bedroom floor as well as in the shower (it *is* waterproof). Though, I am sure this toy could be used anally or orally, perhaps to even massage someone with, I have only ever used it vaginally to either masturbate and edge myself or bring myself to orgasm.

The Pretty Pearl works very well. This toy vibrates at three very distinct speeds and it's curved and bulged shape rubs against all of the right spots. It's smooth and glides in and out well, has no plastic smell of its own and does not trap odors caused perhaps by bodily fluids. It is easy to clean because of the smooth, TPR material it's made of. Being made of TPR, I can easily clean it with hot water and a mild soap (some use toy cleaner, but I don't have any). The noise the Pretty Pearl makes is minimal, if it's left vibrating on say, a hard wood floor, it can be a little noisy, but when in proper use, it's barely audible.

My Pretty Pearl has brought me many orgasms and still works just like new almost two years later. Batteries last for a decent amount of time and the pearl still works even when they're running low. Not to mention the fact that it runs on AAA batteries, which we always have lying around the house for different remote controls and other battery operated things. I love this toy and would highly recommend it to others (especially to any first-timers).
