Before trying my new Swell Rabbit for the first time, I plugged it in until it was fully charged, then took it off to the bathroom sink for a quick wash. As this toy is silicone (10/10 on Eden's safety scale, hypoallergenic and free from latex and phthalates), it's easy to wash and care for. You can wash it with either toy cleaner or a mild soap and rinse with warm water. However, the product page did not specify that this toy is waterproof and I was a little unsure about some of the seams on the handle, so I've decided to err on the side of caution and keep the handle dry (though it can be gently wiped off with a wet wipe or a damp cloth). If you feel the need to sterilize this toy, your best bet is probably to wipe it down with rubbing alcohol or a 5-10% bleach solution and then rinse it thoroughly (while keeping the handle dry).
Once my new toy was charged and clean, I headed back to my bedroom to try it out! Since this rabbit is on the larger side for me (even before it's inflated), I decided to warm up with Mr. Peter, which is a smaller rabbit. I applied a bit of water-based lube to the head of Mr. Peter (both Mr. Peter and the Swell Rabbit are silicone, and as such, you'll want to stick to using water-based lube and avoid silicone and oil-based products) and used the head of the toy to tease my clit and labia until I was nice and wet and aroused, then slid Mr. Peter into my vagina. I thrust the toy a little and just enjoyed it for a few minutes, until I was sure that everything was feeling comfortable and well-lubricated, then decided it was time to try out the Swell Rabbit. I applied a little more water-based lube to the head of the Swell Rabbit, then slid it inside my vagina. It went in easily and comfortably. I held down the top button to activate the vibrations, and was pleased to find that the clit stimulator hit my clitoris perfectly and effortlessly. The deep, rumbly vibrations felt amazing on my clit and internally on my G-spot and vaginal walls. At first, I just enjoyed the Swell Rabbit in its un-inflated state. The vibes felt awesome, and the larger size and smooth shaft felt wonderful as I thrust it in and out of my pussy. Eventually I decided that I was feeling brave enough to try the inflation feature. I pushed the shaft deep inside my vagina, then held down the bottom button to inflate the head of the shaft. At first I only held the button down for a second or two, which inflated the balloon only partially. I was surprised at how good it felt! Emboldened by the fact that I felt no pain or discomfort, I held the button down again and allowed the balloon to fully inflate. It created a very interesting and extremely pleasurable sensation. I could feel the head of the shaft growing and swelling inside me, stretching and pushing on the walls of my vagina, but there was none of the pain or discomfort I'd felt when trying to insert a toy that was too large for me (despite the fact that the balloon inflates to a circumference that is MUCH larger than any dildo or vibrator I've tried). It was a feeling of pleasurable pressure and fullness that increased in intensity as the balloon inflated, but there was never even a hint of discomfort. I enjoyed the feeling of fullness while the powerful vibes continued to rumble me inside and out, and then found myself deflating and re-inflating the toy several times. The feeling of the balloon inflating is really incredible! I'd inflate the balloon, enjoy the sensation for a little while, then deflate the balloon and thrust the toy for a little while, then rinse and repeat. Eventually I enjoyed a wonderful orgasm while the balloon was fully inflated.
My first experience with the Swell Rabbit was wonderful! It's definitely different from any other toy I have, and the sensation of the balloon inflating inside me was, surprisingly, something that I ended up really loving. I'm definitely glad that I decided to give this toy a try!
