First of all, this product opened us up to buying a ton of vibrators.
I'm not a woman...and I went into this with the mentality that I needed to get a vibrator for my girlfriend, but had absolutely no idea where to start. Honestly, I just kind of went over some ratings and pretty much took a stab in the dark on buying this. Turned out to be a really good stab in the dark.

So. It's small, but the shape of it offers two sorts of stimulation. There's a more tapered, protruding side and on the back is a kind of oval indention. The oval indention, I think, is intended to be a sort of place to rest your finger to apply pressure while using it on the clitoris...but this thing can be turned in all kinds of angles to yield different shapes of stimulation. The toy has no odor and is easily cleaned with toy wipes or soap and water. I've never had any issues with the thing. Really, it's a super basic vibrator that we used from fore play to finish.

This was the first toy that I bought to use during sex. As in...this was the first "hey lets try something new" toy we ever had. And it really freaking set us off on that whole endeavor. I didn't mean to end up being the primary operator of the thing, but it ended up being held by me during sex. The strap on vibrators are okay--but when you're actually holding the toy, you get to regulate pressure and movement so much better.
It's not incredibly loud, and strong enough to be used like non-stop for years. This toy ended up being used before and during sex. And also when I wasn't even around. So, go for it. Really.
