My favorite thing about the Ishtar is how smooth it is. There are no rough edges and the egg has a retrieval cord, so it is easy to insert and remove. Another great thing about this egg is that it is hypo-allergenic, latex free, and phthalates free so it is safer than a few of the comparable products I've found.
It is easy to clean with soap and water or toy cleansing wipes. As far as I know, any lube can be used with it.

It can be used internally or externally to stimulate erogenous zones. Ishtar has five different functions varying in intensities and pulses, so you're sure it find something you like. It comes with a remote control which allows your partner to choose what they would like you to feel. In my personal experience, it did get stuck on one function a few times, which resulted in having to turn it off and back on. This does not come with an extra set of batteries, which I've heard can be upwards of $10 to $20, but taking them out between uses will help with extending the battery life. Also, the egg and remote take different types of batteries. The egg requires two N batteries and the remote requires one 12v.


Additionally, it is waterproof! That, specifically, was a big selling point for me. I gave my boyfriend the remote and he alternated between three different speeds while I was in the shower. Even though this toy has multiple functions, it is quieter than I thought it would be. It is perfect for use in the moderate noise level of a restaurant or in a car. The remote does have lights to indicate what function it's on, so it might help to keep it covered if you're out somewhere.
