I was nervous about the size of the vibe, but it quickly became my favorite of my collection. I wouldn't suggest this to a beginner, as the vibrations are much stronger than other vibes I started with, but for an intermediate-experienced user, this is perfect. If you are extremely wet and ready to go, the low vibrations can send you over the edge, but if you need something stronger, this vibe delivers. I find it difficult to make use of the highest vibration because of its strength. I use this toy on a daily basis (sometimes several times a day), and absolutely LOVE IT! I steal batteries from wherever I can because I need to keep this as my go-to toy. I've had it since February 24 of 2012, and I just contacted the seller today so I can get a replacement-- it's acting hokey and I have to bend it to make it work. Probably from overuse! The vibrations can be sort of loud, it might be difficult on higher settings if you are wary of your surroundings, but I've used it in a packed household and I find myself only worrying about the volume of my orgasm.
Happy playing!

The material is very easy to maintain, especially if you have a cleaning spray. The taste is not bad, there is no strong odor or pungent taste, and the ribbing (especially with a head-like tip) is awesome. I would not suggest one with much ribbing for a beginner.

I love the design and that it's "casino" themed. The shape is somewhat realistic, and I enjoy the head-like tip. The size is rather big, especially for a beginner, but the girth comes in handy for an intermediate to experienced user. I hide mine in my undies drawer and no one has found it-- mostly because no one is looking in my underwear drawer. I quickly got rid of the bulky packaging (which I would recommend keeping for returns later down the line), but if left out on accident, it's very obvious. I would not recommend this toy for travel.

The toy's functions are great. I've used other vibes where you have to click a button, but this vibe has a scroll bar in the handle which makes it SO EASY to control the vibrations during use-- for both you and a partner. I think this is the best function of this toy, along with the fact that there are no HARD SET vibration variations. If you want the intensity between a 2 and 3 or 9-10, you can have whatever you want.

This toy is very easy to care for. I use a no-scent toy cleaning spray after every use to keep it smelling clean and to help get rid of bacteria. Personally, I do not use lube with this toy, and recently, I learned that silicone based lubes can damage silicone toys.

The packaging was great, although a little bulky. If I remember correctly, the case was hard plastic-- almost like a display case. I did not need instructions as I was an intermediate user. I would not recommend this specific toy as a gift, unless you are very close with the receiver-- it's rather large and not very discreet as to what it is. It's not cute, per se, either.
