This vibrator is better when used as a dildo for beginners. The lowest vibrations can be too much when it's moving in and out of you because of its ribbed texture. Also, it's a lint magnet because it's rubber and it's hard to keep clean. It gives great stimulation to the G-spots and you can't put it in all the way without it hitting a wall. It's wonderful for deep penetration and textured movement, but it can wean you off of men if you get too dependent on it. This toy works well for solo action, but isn't incredible at stimulating my partner because the vibrations are too strong. I wouldn't recommend it for couples or beginners, but solo ladies who want a challenge may love this toy.

The rubber material has a strong smell that persists after washing. The ribbed texture adds to the pleasure of using it, but between the texture and the size I would not recommend this for beginners. The soft tip is the only flexible part of the toy and that makes it lack for stimulating power for breasts. The material is very sticky, it picks up lint where you wouldn't think it would come into contact. The ridges hold on to dirt and other material and it seems overall unhygienic for use without being washed before and after and as often as necessary during.

It is very large and ridged, as the picture indicates. It is not designed at all for beginners and isn't very discreet. You would have a hard time hiding it in a small suitcase or convincing anyone it wasn't what it is.

The vibrations were located just beneath the rubbery soft tip, making it hard to focus them on breasts, but great for internal stimulation. The controls are only one simple dial that is hard to adjust to precisely the right amount of vibration. Too much vibration can make the body feel numb and actually have adverse affects, but with just the right adjustments the vibrations can be perfect and work well with the ribbing to give you a wonderful experience. Do not use this in water, however, because if the bottom isn't screwed on just right water may leak in and make the whole thing unusable until it is dry.

Make sure the batteries are out and the bottom is screwed on tightly before washing the toy gently in warm soapy water. If water gets inside because the bottom wasn't screwed on, don't worry, just let the whole thing air dry for about 24 hours before use. Of course by then it may be covered in lint and need another washing. This toy works well with water based lubricants.

The box it came in from Eden was of course very discreet, but the inner packaging was a very obvious plastic container which, when empty has a nice outline of the toy. It is hard to dispose of without funny looks, but it seems recyclable. You can hide it under water bottles in the recycling bin and hope nobody notices it, but otherwise the packaging isn't very discreet. The users instructions don't reveal anything that the website does not. It does make a point to say that you should not place the product in a microwave or oven for warming but that is pretty obvious considering the material it is made out of.

There is a reason it has a rating of only 3 of 10. It is made of rubber, it is easy to get dirty, and it is too sturdy in some places and too flaccid in others.

However it is still a good purchase if you are looking for great stimulation from a ribbed toy and don't mind the added upkeep work.

My partner found the toy more interesting to use on me than I did. We will be using it often, but it is a high maintenance toy not recommended for beginners.
