Stephanie Swift's Crystal Playmate is best used for vaginal and clitoral stimulation. The tongue sticking out rubs and teases the clit all while you are thrusting your way to a happy ending. Best for beginners new to vibrators or someone that is looking for something simple to use. Can be used alone when you are needing it right then or your partner can use it on you while you relax and enjoy the pleasure.

The playmate is made out of jelly material, being that jellies are very porous you have to take extra measures in cleaning. Very smooth not really sticky or grippy like most toys, has a few ridges right under the head but not much for texture. It does have that new toy smell but will go away after a few weeks, so rest at ease it will not keep the smell forever.

The design is really cute, it is blue with what to me looks like a little bear that has its tongue sticking out to hit the sweet spots. I did have to get the position just right for the tongue to hit the right spot but once I did it paid off well. The size of this toy is a bit smaller then other vibrators coming in at a total length of 5 and 1/2 inches, insertable length at 3 inches and a circumference of 4 inches making this great for someone starting out in the world of sex toys. Traveling with this toy is easy, small enough to fit inside of a hand bag or a carry on bag and can easily be hidden.

The playmate is very easy to use, just flip the switch on the bottom and it's go time. The on and off switch is located on the base and only has one mode of vibration: High. The vibrations are felt through whole toy and even felt on the clit stimulator making it very pleasing to play with. A little on the noisy side you will be able to hear it under the covers and maybe behind closed doors. Requires 2 AAA batteries that will keep you going for a few weeks if used daily. I would say to get the kind that you can re-charge and have back ups it is much cheaper that way.

Caring for your toy is a big must for all toys and it is really important when cleaning all toys that are made of jelly materials being that they are very porous they can hide germs and dirt. Make sure you wash with warm or hot water and use antibacterial soap and if you have it some toy cleaner never hurts to use. Being that this toy is not waterproof make sure you are careful not to get any water in where the batteries go while you are cleaning. Always clean before and after each use and store in a cool dry place. I have found it best to use a water based lube. I don't like having different bottles of lube setting around that are used for different toys, with a water based lube you only need one and you don't have to worry about it messing up any of your toys.

The playmate came in a box, I can't for the life remember what the box looked like, but it did have instructions included that really only told how to put the batteries in but too small to see what end needed to go where. If it doesn't work with the batteries in one way take them out and put them in another way. I at one point before I found a case to keep my toys in used the package to store my it while not in use.

Being that the playmate is a bit on the smaller side I have found that for me it works best when I ride it. I put a pillow between my legs and that holds the playmate in place. I really love this little thing it is used many times during the week and my husband even gets to use it on me sometimes, I am going to have to train him a little on what spots to hit and how to aim it but he will get it. I have gotten off many times with it. I do have to be careful on how I use this toy sometimes the stimulator hits a spot just hard enough to rough me up a bit but not so much to make me quit using it.
