I was very excited to get this one. I haven't tried too many toys yet and this one looked very non threatening. The package was simple, but not simple enough that you wouldn't know it was for a sex toy. I took it out and squeezed the material. It felt so smooth and flexible in my hands. My boyfriend kept saying that it was too flimsy, but I really liked that it moved around so much. I was more and more excited the longer I waited and the longer I inspected the toy.
When I went to use it, I had one heck of a time getting the base to unscrew so that I could put the batteries in. I squeezed and twisted as hard as I could, but I couldn't get it off. I waited for my boyfriend to get home and then I got him to try to open it. He had a hard time too, but he finally got it off. I thought maybe it was just first time stubbornness, but the next time I tried to open it I had the same problem. I'm able to open it fine now, but it was a struggle the first few times. Maybe I was just being to cautious and over tightening? I've never had a problem with any of my other toys though. It was so hard it felt hardly worth removing the batteries. I'm glad it's easier now, but I used it a few more times and due to my struggles with the battery cap I eventually ended up cracking the seal that held the TPE to the plastic of the battery chamber. The toy still works fine, but now I have to be twice as careful when removing the cap so that I don't let the battery housing twist inside the toy when I'm trying to get the cap of. I'm just nervous that I might pull the wires out and without the vibrations this toy is useless. I also never got a chance to use it in the water and I'm not comfortable enough to chance it now that the seal is cracked. Super disappointing :(
When I used the toy the vibrations were gentle (very very low to mild) and the toy tapered so I could start small and work my way both deeper and thicker. I thought this was a great feature for someone as new to these toys as myself. A great way to build comfort. The vibrations felt good, but they weren't strong enough to do the job all on their own. I didn't really notice the nubs at all once it was inside either. The toy was incredibly quiet. When I gave it to my boyfriend to use on me I actually had to ask him if it was turned on yet or not before he put it inside, which it was. I thought some of my other toys were quiet, but they have nothing on this thing. I think the paddle might be a great addition if you use multiple toys when masturbating. It's strong enough to add to your pleasure but not strong enough that it will take your attention from the other toys you're using. The nubs on this toy and the fact that the bullet is right in the tip make it great for clitoral stimulation, but there are obviously smaller toys that are easier to handle and better suited for that. I thought I was going to love this toy, it looked so promising, but after using it I was left a little unsatisfied.
While this toy was not a favorite for me, someone who really enjoys the gentler vibrators would probably find this toy quite pleasing. I would also recommend this to someone who has never had a toy before because of it's discreetness (sound wise), low vibrations and shape. It's not bad for a starter toy.
Good review
