The main reason I purchased this micro orb vibe|Micro orb bullet vibrator was to replace a bullet that had broken in another toy. Unfortunately this little micro orb proved to be a bit too large for this purpose but, I did have an alternative use in mind when I placed the order. It is great to use during or before sex especially when you need to be discreet!

First of all, this micro orb is made of plastic which means it is non porous and phthalate free! It also means it can be easily cleaned with antibacterial soap and hot water or wiped down with isopropyl alcohol. Of course you could also use your favorite toy cleaner. Plastic toys are compatible with either water, oil or silicone lubes.

Secondly, this little micro orb does NOT have multiple speeds as listed under the properties tab of the description! It is one speed only so, it's either on or off, that's it! Also, it does NOT take 4 watch batteries which is also listed under the properties tab of the description! It takes one N size battery! It is also NOT 3 inches long as described under the properties tab of the description. It is in fact 2.5 inches in total length! This micro orb IS waterproof as promised however, there is only a rubber gasket at the bottom where the battery goes in to protect it and if you aren't careful, you will open the battery compartment when you turn it off and on! You should be extra careful if you use this in the water!

The vibrations on this little bullet are mildly strong. Just enough to give you that extra something when you need it. They are very typical vibrations of a micro orb so, no jack hammer here! It is very, very quiet though! Also, there is a nylon cord attached to the base of this bullet. There is actually a molded plastic eyelet in the bottom that the cord runs through. This cord is great for retrieval but, I'm not sure if I would use it anally or not since I just really don't trust cords and will only use items with a "plug" base made for the butt!

All in all this micro orb would probably be great for beginners but, is probably not suitable for those who require intense stimulation. I do wish the vibrations were a bit stronger or that it was in fact, multispeed as it is described as being. Unfortunately it isn't but, it does it's job to arouse me and is great to use during sex as well since there are no wires to worry about pulling on!

My husband and I tried out this micro orb bullet in a variety of ways. It was a good addition to oral sex for both myself and my husband. When used on him, he was able to have the added peritoneal stimulation as well as stimulation on his balls. When it was used on me, it gave me an added vaginal stimulation without being overly large.

We also used this during sex in a couple of different positions. When we used it for missionary, we placed it onto my clit and I held onto the cord so it didn't get lost if it fell off. It did manage to stay on my clit fairly well. We also used this in the doggie style position where I could either reach around and rub it on my clit or my husband could reach around and use it there for me. My husband could also rub it on my butt and peritoneal area from behind.

As far as using it in the tub or shower, we were afraid to since we have had a toy like this in the past that the battery cap came off of and ruined the toy. I wouldn't advise using it in the water because of this.

The micro orb is very discreet but, not only because of it's small size. It is also virtually silent! It's just too bad it wasn't multispeed...

We're still using this little micro orb and have had no problems worth mentioning. We really don't use it all the time but that's mostly because of the "N" battery required. We don't keep those around very much and usually forget to pick one up when we're out so the micro orb has not seen a ton of action.

I can attest to its waterproofness now! We have used it in the shower a time or two and it hasn't given us a bit of trouble. It's so discreet too! I can easily throw it into the pocket of my robe and no one knows it's there! Perfect for those nights when the kids are a bit restless and have a tendency of appearing when least expected.

I would like to add to my original review on this one to just say that this would not be a good choice for anal use. While it may have a retrieval cord, it would not be a pleasant experience if that cord decided to break. Just be safe and not sorry on this one!

I've actually been thinking of taking the cord off of mine and attaching it to a key ring or a necklace. It's not totally recognizable as a sex toy so it might work out well as a portable pleasure object hidden in plain sight. Then it would be easily accessible any time I needed a quick pick me up! It's definitely worth a try!
