I was so nervous about picking my first authorized review that it took me, two online friends, and three hours to finally pick one. I wanted my first toy to be something new, interesting, and aesthetically pleasing. Little by little a list of about 16 products dwindled down to 10, and then 5, until finally I settled on Doc Johnson and Vivid’s new “Bunny”|Vivid bunny by Doc Johnson.

I was so excited about getting my first assignment toy in the mail that when it finally came in I literally squealed, jumped into the air, and ran the full block to my mail box.

So far I haven’t been disappointed.

Made by Doc Johnson and Vivid, the Bunny is their new and interesting internal and external vibrator. If you’ve ever used a Rabbit vibrator|Best Rabbit Vibrator, a dildo with a rabbit-shaped vibrator attached to the top, than you know how wonderful those special jelly ears can be against your clitoris. The Vivid Bunny takes the best part of a full Rabbit, that rabbit shaped head and ears, and makes it hand-held and easy to use.

The power is controlled by a basic dial on the bottom of the toy. Simple to use. There’s pretty much three power settings; a low, medium, and high. It seems like you can kind of get settings in between those, but that’s pretty much how it goes.

As far as aesthetics, I like it. It is a vibrant, translucent blue that is really pretty, and lets me see the motor right underneath the ears (a great place for it). The wonderful little bunny ears are at the top, a cute little bunny nose and face is underneath, and there are wide, shoulder-like raised areas on the side for gripping. It's got a bit of a plastic-y smell, but nothing overwhelming. I wasn’t nervous in the least when I showed it to a friend who was over that day, and she agreed that it is adorable.

The Vivid Bunny has quickly become my current favorite. The jelly it’s made out of is harder than silicone but softer than plastic and it gives the ears an almost perfect texture. It’s hard enough to stay where you put it without moving around too much, but soft enough to bend and fit your curves.

Speaking of curves, this one has good ones. It isn’t so much curved for your body, but curved nicely for your hand, making holding it easy. Sometimes the way a vibrator is shaped can make it a problem when you’re holding it for a long time, especially if the motor is near the bottom. I haven’t had that kind of problem with this one.

I can easily say that this thing is strong. Not gets you up, hot, and done in minutes kind of strong, but a feels good and gets the job done in good time kind of strong. Since it only uses two AAA batteries, I was actually surprised about the level of power. I’ve had stronger ones, but I’ve also definitely had weaker ones. It takes some time and effort to get me over the edge, but with a little effort it does get me there.

I’ve only had mine a week, but I’ve seen other reviews that claim it doesn’t last more than a few months. I can see that being true because of how hard the little motor seems to work, but so far I haven’t had any problems, apart from a bit of heat from the motor when on too long.

For couple’s play, which is what I use my toys with the most, it’s a little too big to fit between us during missionary, but does some wonders when I’m on my stomach. Using a pillow under my stomach and hips and propping myself up enough that I can fit the Bunny under me and still be comfortable works just fine. For some reason this also seems to be the best position for me to use it during masturbation.

I haven’t found too good of a use for it internally yet. I’ve tried it out but not gotten much response. I’m still working on the discovery of my G-Spot though, so if that’s what you’re going for, don’t let me dissuade you.

Cleaning is really pretty simple. The jelly texture is smooth and my cleaner and cloth slides right over it. It can be a bit tougher fitting a cleaning cloth between the ears because they come together in a tight spot, but nothing too difficult. [Editor's note: jelly is a very porous material. We recommend covering with a condom for internal use and if sharing.]

I really do love having this in my collection. It’s adorable, with great color and texture, it’s good and powerful, and it’s different from your every day bullet-style vibrators|Daisy vibe.
