I purchased this vibe strictly because I was interested in the infrared heat. The vibe is a hard plastic as indicated by some of the comments.

This vibe only comes in black, which can be a turn off for some. Don't let that stop you!! The infrared heat portion gives off a nice red glow and changes the whole look of the vibe. It takes C batteries which gives it a little more power in my opinion.

What I love:
The heat can be used with or without the vibrations, and the vibrations do not have to include heat. I found that having just the heat on made for an awesome experience when coupled with a clitoral massage aid. The vibrations are powerful enough to get you where you need to go without driving you there too fast.

What is not so great:
The hard plastic -- it does not give when it comes to insertion. For some, this might cause some discomfort. During my first use, I did find that having only a portion inserted with the heat on made for a very pleasurable experience.

Pros:
Heat
Good Vibration
Heat!

Cons:
Slightly Noisy
Hard Plastic


First Experience:
I used this vibe in solo play. I was interested to see how the heat would work with just basic play. The heat was not overly obvious to me at first. I even had to check to make sure it was warming up. Once it got warm though, I found a whole new sensation for insertion. I have only ever used smaller vibes prior to this toy. I found the hard plastic took a little adjusting too, but once I had it inserted to a comfortable length and let the heat and vibrations do their job, it was VERY enjoyable.

I have also used the vibe to provide pin-pointed heat to aching muscles after a long day. It works well for helping with relaxation.
