This was my first vibe ever! I was not disappointed when I got it and only became disappointed when I wore it out and it stopped working!

Not waterproof, you must be careful when cleaning it. After several months of use (I had it for over a year before it quit on me), I noticed some rust under the screw on cap, so obviously I wasn't taking the best care of it. The cap, fortunately, is very secure. I never had a problem with it coming loose or undone when using it. The control is a dial on the end of the cap - it was possible to accidentally adjust the speed when using it if my fingers were too slippery or I had a bad grip on the vibe, but that wasn't a big deal or anything.

The control ranges from pretty low to pretty intense. The vibrations were good, low enough to tease my clit without overwhelming me, but they ranged high enough to feel when inserted.

The length of the vibe was ideal, just enough to fill me up and with enough space on the end to still hold onto it easily. The diameter was okay - one inch is great for a first vibe but doesn't hold a candle to my Kong of Dongs.

As a plastic toy, this was easy to clean (but again, be careful of the cap and keeping that area dry) with just hot water and anti-bacterial soap. I stored it wrapped in a wash rag in my night stand. It didn't collect hairs or dust, really, which was nice.

The size (only an inch across) made it easy to use for anal if I wanted, but that wasn't something I did often. For vaginal and clitoral stimulation, this is a great toy and a great beginner's toy overall.

The vibrations were not noisy - as a college kid living in a dorm, my roommate was unable to hear the vibe through the closed door.
