This toy is pretty much amazing. I bought it to replace a cheaper product that was similar but broke, and I have been satisfied so far. I love that it is pretty much hands free. You don't realize how troublesome it is on your shoulders, back, and neck to have a little fun until you try hands free.

The Venus Butterfly is fairly easy to use. You only need to slip on the straps, turn the dial and enjoy. The straps are somewhat hard to understand. Mine work but there is an extra strap. I'm not sure where it should connect to so I just let it hang. The actual vibrator is a soft jelly type material with elastic straps. A plastic remote attaches to the vibrator and does have a wire. I thought this wire would bother me, and I considered a wireless model, but I've been really satisfied so far. The clasps on the straps are plastic, which worried me a little for breakage, but after a few months of use I have not had a problem yet.

I tend to use this toy alone. The body is too long to use anything else insertable. I almost wish it was shorter because the curved end is not long enough to insert and doesn't add any actual pleasure to my experience. The butterfly is not waterproof. This is a letdown because the hands free fun would be amazing in the shower. I clean mine with the Eden wipes, and they work great. I would not suggest washing the Venus Butterfly under running water, the wire might get wet!

The motor runs with a dial on the remote. I have never had to use the Venus Butterfly on full power! I usually need a good amount of vibration to get off but this little guy packs a punch, I'd guess that I use it on one third to one half of the power.

I put that it has three vrooms, and can be heard through a door. I do however live in a dorm and use this all the time. My roommate has never said she can hear it, although I'm sure she can hear a slight noise. I doubt she'd be able to guess what it is as compared to some of my other toys.

I still like my butterfly. I think the straps could be better quality, but the rest of the toy is still functioning well. The vibrations aren't the strongest, but they're still pretty good! I'd still suggest this toy to anyone looking for hands free and pretty much effortless play!
