I was very excited at the prospect of owning a discreet vibrator that wasn't the typical cylinder shape. From the pictures it looked like it was mouse-sized, so when it arrived I was surprised at how tiny it was. But it was slick and smooth to the touch, with a glossy finish and a gorgeous silver flower imprint, so I wasn't about to let the size deter me from trying it out and having a great time.

The Nea, like most LELO toys, doesn't require regular batteries. Instead, it charges and recharges with a standard AC adapter. Bonus: the adapter is streamlined, so it won't hog up 2-3 outlets on your power strip. It's two by three inches, and fits nicely into the included white drawstring pouch.

The Nea is curved so that it fits right into the palm of your hand. It's very easy to cup and line up against the clitoris and vulva, while it's small size allows it to nestle in between the labia for direct, exceptionally pleasurable contact.

Upon getting the Nea I spent a few minutes exclaiming over the smooth plastic finish, and then hooked it up so that my first run with it would be on a full charge. In less than two hours it was ready to go -- and so was I!

Sadly, I was ultimately disappointed with the Nea. While the vibrations are strong, and at its strongest setting the Nea sounds and initially feels impressive, it emits high-pitched, whiny kind of vibrations, which just wasn't enough for me to get off from. I wound up having to use another toy and my hand for some good, old-fashioned stimulation in order to ultimately have an orgasm.

However, I still like the Nea, because while it isn't enough for me to have an orgasm from, it provides enough stimulation to create some pleasurable sensations for my clitoris and surrounding labia. Also, its quiet motor and slick finish make it easy to use in a variety of situations, and just as easy to clean up.
