The Pleasure Ball is an external vibrator made by the manufacturer Doc Johnson. This toy measures 10.25” around and is made from TPR and ABS Plastic. It is hypo-allergenic, both latex and phthalate-free, and waterproof. This toy runs on 3 AA batteries, which are inserted by twisting apart the Pleasure Ball’s two separately colored halves.

This toy rates a 7 on the EdenFantasys material safety scale. TPR is slightly porous, and this toy cannot be sterilized, so it should not be shared between those who are not already fluid bound. The Pleasure Ball is super easy to clean though, just use warm, soapy water. Because it’s waterproof, there’s no need to worry about getting water into the mechanical bits.

If you’re looking for a discreet toy, I don’t think you can do much better than the Pleasure Ball. If left out, I don’t think anyone would assume that this toy is actually a vibrator. After inserting the batteries, you turn on the Pleasure Ball by pressing its single button, which is located in the center of the plastic side of the toy. This toy has three levels of vibration, which are best felt in the TPR half of the ball. The levels available are low, medium and high. None of them are as strong as I would like.

Personally, I don’t have much luck using this toy to stimulate my clit. The shape of the toy makes it a bit awkward and the vibrations just aren’t powerful enough for me, especially since they're diffused over such a large area. However, someone who prefers less powerful and more diffused vibrations might find this toy more to their liking. I do enjoy using it to massage my feet when I think of it, but that’s about the only thing I enjoy using this one for. It’s not powerful enough for me to enjoy for a back massage, although others might. I do imagine it might be great for a rousing game of catch though, or a pretty mediocre and short-lived game of softball.
