The Ooh La La Rabbit is aptly named.

When this big and beautiful vibrator arrived, I was caught without a battery, but its generous size (5 5/8 inches in diameter) and nubby texture were so tempting that I got busy with it anyway.

And when I slid the shaft into my pussy, I found myself saying, "Ooooh." Really.

The next day, I got the needed 9-volt battery and lost my rabbit-vibrator virginity. (Yes, I'm shockingly behind the times in this case, although I own five dildos.) The Ooh La La looks like a lovely pearly lily, not a rabbit, but the clit stimulator does have the classic bunny-ears shape.

Besides the fact that it's silicone - which is non-allergenic, hygienic and all-around excellent material for sex toys - the Ooh La La differs from many rabbit vibrators in that the shaft has no churning beads but simply vibrates. What it does have is six vibration patterns, plus an option to combine them all. The buttons are conveniently located so you can easily change speeds while using it. In fact, they're so conveniently located that sometimes I changed speeds without even meaning to.

Although it's powerful enough for advanced users and girthy enough for size queens like myself, the Oh La La is also a socially acceptable adult toy; the kind that would make a nice bridal-shower gift. (Its color and design would even coordinate well with many wedding gowns, should the bride want to say "I do" with a little extra buzz.) It's attractively packaged with tips and ideas, a do-not-disturb sign, and an adorable hot-pink blindfold.

The cards suggested inserting the clit stimulator for G-spot play. That didn't hit the spot for me, but I did find lots of uses for the sex toy: Forget about insertion and try teasing your labia and clit with either the ears or the shaft. The ears work well on nipples, too.

And the moment I felt those nubs, I really wanted to stick the shaft in my ass. (It wouldn't be a good for beginners to anal play, though, and if you're going to put it in more than one hole, use a condom for easy clean-up.) It was my first experience with anal vibration, and it was stimulating but quickly became numbingly intense.

Maybe next time I use it that way, I'll take the battery back out.
