The Hungry Bear lives up to its name in a two-fold fashion: not only does it boast a bear holding a fish in its mouth instead of traditional rabbit ears, but the thing is also a bear in size, as well. It works just as a standard rabbit vibrator would, with an extended piece for clitoral stimulation as well as a thicker shaft for penetration.

If you're feeling especially saucy, you can flip the vibrator around and press the clitoral extension against your back door, as well. If you decide to try this, do take extra precautions to avoid any unpleasant infections and only go from your clitoris/vagina to your anus, but not the other way around. Clean the toy first if you plan to use it elsewhere after it has made contact with your fine derrière.

The rubber vinyl has a bit of a smell when you first take the toy out of the package. It will fade over time, but it will continue to harbor a rubber smell through a few washings. Unlike other rubber toys, however, I did not experience the gag-worthy oily film over the whole thing when I first brought it out of the box.

The rubber vinyl is more solid than most jelly toys, but is not as hard as plastic. It is firm with a little give when you squeeze it, enough that you should have a little leeway when trying to insert it. The texture is one I could take or leave - I found that it didn't especially enhance or detract from the overall experience.

They weren't kidding calling this thing a bear - those faint of heart (and vagina) may have some troubles with the size of this toy! It has an unusually generous amount of girth for a toy of its kind and price range such that I would recommend having plenty of lube on-hand just in case. Size queens in training should be plenty satisfied with the size this purple beast is packing because it's nothing to scoff at! 'Discreet' is the last word I'd use to describe a giant, purple vibrator.

The design itself might actually win an award for creepiest/most random inclusions for a sex toy. The head of the toy, at first glance, appears to be modeled after a circumsized penis, but upon further inspection reveals itself to be a nightmare-inducing anime face smiling up at you. I wish I were making this up, but further research has revealed to me that this is a somewhat common occurrence with Japanese-made toys such as this one.

I do have to say that I prefer the design of the clitoral extension to classic rabbit designs, which was unexpected. The bear holding a fish makes more of a T, which I found to be more direct as opposed to the Y of rabbit ears.

The vibration comes in a surprisingly wide range for a toy in this price range. The lowest setting is pretty gentle and the highest packs a hell of a punch. I didn't find that the vibrations tapered off at any points and the clitoral extension transfers them well, for the most part.

The rotation did not disappoint - I've encountered quite a few rabbit vibes in this price range whose rotation features are functionally useless save to stir my coffee in the morning, but this vibrator is legit. You can change the rotation in a respectable variation of speeds, but unfortunately not the direction.

The toy's noise level was mediocre, on the whole. On its lowest settings, it is easy to mask the noise under blankets or soft music. If you crank the vibration all the way up, it takes on a high-pitched buzz, and you can definitely hear the motor working hard on the fastest rotation setting. Blankets and music are a must for dorm-dwellers and others living/masturbating in close quarters. It's certainly not a jackhammer in terms of decibel levels, but it could be obvious if you're careless.

The plastic vinyl is incredibly easy to care for. A quick rinse with soap and water takes the residual nasty straight off the toy with little to no elbow grease required. As plastic vinyl is porous, do proceed with caution before passing the love-pipe around and consider using a condom with the toy.

Hair, lint, and other mundane household miscellany will find its way to your toy if you are not careful about storage, so make sure to give 'er a rinse before use or store it away in a clean, non-shedding bag or box.

Both water-based and silicone lube will be A-okay with the Hungry Bear, so play as you will!
