As one who doesn’t care for bright or garish shades of pink, I’m thankful the Cara is a soft and subtle shade. It is also soft and smooth silicone, which helps it glide with very little lubrication. A quick note: since it is made of silicone, you will want to use a water-based lubricant and store it separate from other toys. Storage is easy because the padding inside the simple black box it comes in is form fitting. The Cara comes with instructions which are easy to read, and it takes no time getting used to learning how the controls work. My husband and I used the Cara three times before I wrote this review, and I am sad to say orgasm was not achieved with this toy.

We decided to use the Cara for foreplay the first and last time, focusing on more of a solo act the second. Using the form of a cat is cute and doesn’t come across silly, and it could have easily gone in that direction. The trouble is the Cara did not give me enough clitoral stimulation. If you’re someone like me who needs additional clitoral stimulation, the face of the cat rubs a bit but doesn’t do much else for you. I really could have used more pressure and vibrations that hit the right spot. The Cara promises to “Give you the sexy hands” and could really use a hand to add pressure where needed. Also, the tail resting against my perineum didn’t really do anything for me.

One of the things we were excited to try was the remote control. The outer wrap of the box boasts the Cara’s remote has a range of 5-10 meters. Roughly 16-32 feet. When I have it resting on my lap, so there is nothing blocking the signal, we found that when my husband walked more than five feet away, the modes would not change. When it was inserted we found this reduced by two feet, and if I closed my legs, he could be next to me, and nothing happened.

I really wanted to like this toy but found we moved on to other toys very quickly. If you don’t need extra clitoral stimulation and don’t care about the limited remote distance this could be a fun toy for you. However, if you do, the Cara doesn’t “give you the sexy hands” as the cover promises.
