This was my first vibrator and, after five years, I still own one (having just replaced the original last year). While the material is a bit hard, it's smooth and does not have any sharp edges that might pinch. It's very firm, though, and may feel odd when trying to hit just the right spots. I find it works better for clit stimulation than G-spot, but it can be used both externally and internally. It can also be controlled one-handed, and the controls are easy to use. The speed increases and decreases based on the dial, which I like better than the typical 3-speed versions found with other vibrators.

It's easy to clean, so no need to worry about that. A little soap and water, air dry, and you're ready to go again. The only downside, and the reason I'm using a replacement version right now, is the likelihood of rust and wear if you're not careful and accidentally get water in the battery compartment while cleaning. Additionally, the spring of the controls may pop/bend after a while. When that happens, the contacts won't work correctly and your speeds will be limited. However, it can be easily repaired if you're willing to play around with it a bit.

I got the red version, because I really wanted a toy of that color, but it turned out to be a bit pinker/duller than the images online portrayed. Not a deal-breaker, but something to keep in mind if color is important to you.

Overall, this is a great first vibrator and a durable model that will last you for a long time. For the price, it's worth trying out. A great vibrator to grab if you want to get off quick. It will definitely open your eyes to the joys of toys.
