Forever Yours is a traditional vibrator made by California Exotic Novelties. I love the fact that California Exotics is finally expanding their line to include safer toy materials. This one is made from TPR and regular ABS plastic. The main body of the shaft is TPR, and the pattern of hearts and swirls is an inlay of hard plastic. The TPR has a soft, velvety texture which slightly softens the feel of the rigid shaft. It is still pretty hard, though, and not flexible.

Insert two AA batteries (which aren't included by the way) and off we go. The vibe has a dial at the base for speed control. A cute little heart indicator points to the speed range as you dial it up. The dial has ridges for easy gripping when your fingers are wet or slippery from lube. Even at the lowest setting, this vibe has plenty of power. The range isn't very impressive, because the vibrations don't really get a whole lot stronger, but for such a small package the strength of the vibrations is great. The vibrations can be felt strongest toward the vibe's tip, making it great for some spot-on stimulation. It is rather loud, even at the lowest setting. The noise is certainly muffled when inserted, but keep in mind that if you're using it externally the sound will carry to the next room.

I used it for a little external kick while using another dildo, because the buzz on this thing is great, and the softer texture makes it a little more comfortable than a regular plastic vibe. I didn't use it for vaginal insertion, but just out of personal preference; Forever Yours is too slender and rigid for my tastes. The slender size does make it great for anal play, however, if you're a novice in that department. I do recommend using a condom over it, especially if you're going ass diving with it. Although the TPR material is safer than some other materials, it is still porous and cannot be sterilized like silicone. Plus, the plastic inlay has little gaps where it's set into the TPR, leaving plenty of hard-to-clean spaces for bacteria to hide.

Now, the best part of this little gem: its waterproof. And I don't mean sort of waterproof, just okay for a splash here and there: this baby can go scuba diving. I took it in the bath and in the shower, and found no water in the battery compartment when we were through.

Another cool thing: it has a one year guarantee. California Exotics guarantees that it will run for 30 minutes a day for a year. The little instruction manual doesn't really have much in the way of details on this, but if you visit the company's website they have a link for product registration, which takes you to a page where you can register your vibe and get answers on FAQ's and warranty information.

I really enjoyed the simple design, easy speed control, and super buzz power of this vibe. I used it for solo masturbation sessions, for spicing up my bathtime, and for anal play with my partner. I know I'll be keeping this one at the top of my toybox.
