The Clitapatra Twister by Golden Triangle is a heavily textured, uniquely embellished, dual-action vibrator that combines powerful vibrations with a twisting shaft. It certainly knocked my socks off and gave me something to compare to when shopping for other toys. Just make sure you understand that it isn't built to last, if that is what you are looking for. Beginners to advanced users will enjoy using this toy, but some will become easily fed up with keeping it clean.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS:
"Entombed" in a simple, disposable package, the Clitopatra Twister emits some odor when unwrapped, but a good airing out and a few good cleanings will prepare this toy for its first use. I'm not sure about the taste, as I don't make it a practice to lick my vibrators.

MATERIAL, SIZE, AND DESIGN:
The soft Jelly material lends itself to being soft with a rubbery feel and some grab. It maintains good firmness also. Keep in mind that it isn't the safest of material, so knowing how to care for it is crucial.

The size is perfect and filled me up nicely. Nine inches seems long, but remember that the battery compartment and the clitoral stimulator make up roughly half of it, and the remaining 4-3/4 inches is left for penetration. One of my friends who purchased this toy for herself thought it was a bit too thick at first, but eventually she was loving it.

The toy is very artistic and pretty to behold! In fact, it's the most textured one I have ever owned, which has its pros and cons, but I'll get to all that shortly. A mushroom-head helmet mimicking a real cock caps off the top, and an intricately designed body of what appears to be an Egyptian male (unless the women back then had beards?) descends down to the base of the shaft where it meets the clitoral stimulator, a lion's head with several flicking tongues. These are ideal for providing plenty of stimulation all over and just around the clitoral hood. Either way, the point of all this embellishing is to obviously provide a good amount of sensation and thrills, which it does.

OPERATION:
The battery case immediately presented a problem, with a plastic back that was constantly sliding off during play, exposing the 3-AA batteries, and sometimes one would even fall out. I had to put a piece of black electrical tape over it to keep it all in place during use.

Thanks to two motors, one in the shaft and the other in the clitoral stimulator, the vibrations this toy provides are outstanding, albeit a bit noisy at the highest setting, so you may want to keep this one under the covers if you don't live alone. There are no patterns, just steadily increasing vibration. I wasn't feeling any love on the twisting motion and wonder why manufacturers keep throwing it in some toys. I guess it's just fun to watch it dance, but I couldn't feel a thing when it was in me. There are individual "on/off" control buttons on either side of the base, which allows the user to use just one or both the vibrating and twisting functions simultaneously. Just below those switches are separate speed dials for each function. The controls are easily turned off/on by accident, which incidentally puts a damper on playtime.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Either a water-based or silicone lube can be used with this toy. I needed to apply a bit extra to cover all the lumps and bumps.

The biggest downside to this toy is that it is difficult to clean! First of all it's not waterproof, so it cannot be submerged for a thorough cleansing. Jelly can't be sterilized in boiling water, so you can either wash it thoroughly with warm water and antibacterial soap with a toothbrush reserved just for scrubbing the nooks and crannies, as I used, or put a condom over it, which honestly, does not fit very well over this style of vibe. I never experienced any melting or discoloration of the material, but just as a precaution, I kept it from touching other toys. I've toted mine around, but it isn't exactly discreet if you forget to remove the batteries and your purse starts buzzing. Yeah, embarrassing to say the least!

Regardless of the mind-blowing orgasms the Clitapatra Twister delivered, I felt that they weren't worth the high maintenance involved with keeping the toy clean. Fun shouldn't have to be a pain in the butt! It's a good starter vibrator and it was worth it while it lasted, but I've since moved on to safer materials, or at least ones that are easier to clean.

I thought this was the bomb when I first purchased it, but after several months of losing the batteries and the painstakingly tedious task of cleaning the toy, I ditched it. It's a shame because I had some great climaxes with it, but the quality control issues outweighed the pleasure I received from it.

Clitapatra has been entombed forever and she's not coming back! I don't care how powerful she was, truth is, she was a pain in the butt to clean. If the manufacturer would smooth out the design of the main shaft, but keep the clitoral stimulator as is, and do something about the loose battery compartment cover, this toy would be worth purchasing anew.
