The Monique Vivid Dreams vibrator is the sexual orange juice for those looking for strong vibrations with large girth. A beginner could find this a bit overwhelming, so it may be better suited for someone used to large girth for insertion. This vibrator is designed for g-spot stimulation, but I have found it works well on other parts of my body as well. I relieved some tension from my neck by rubbing the head of the shaft along the base of my hairline, and it does a nice job of nipple stimulation, and I loved the feeling of it as I rubbed it along my clitoris!

For those who like texture, there are nubs at the head just under the curve which are meant to massage the g-spot and there are ribs along the shaft. It is not suited for anal play. The motor is very quiet, and it could not be heard through a door. It's waterproof as well, so don't hesitate to take with you in the tub, but it's large, so it isn't one I would take with me on a trip. My first experience with this orange juice wasn't pleasant when my husband and I first tried it out, but after I played with it alone, I was able to maneuver it in such a way that my dreams did come true, and now I have used it enough that I have really come to like it!

This is made of a flexible jelly which I like because it has a little "give" to it when you are thrusting. There are gentle ribs along the shaft that I don't think a person that objects to texture would mind, but there are nubs on the curved tip that I love (mmmmmmmm - especially on my clitoris) because of the added stimulation but could bother others internally. I am not sensitive to smells, so I don't notice any odor that can accompany a jelly toy. I would suggest a condom with this type of material because it is porous and cannot be sterilized.

I think Doc Johnson did a great job in designing the Vivid Dreams collection. There is no problem with this toy rotating on you and the tip ending up in the wrong direction. The control remains on the left side, so it keeps the toy's head where it needs to be for proper g-spot stimulation. It is easily operated by rotating the dial with your thumb.

The size is incredible. It is about 5" in circumference and around 8 1/2" long (up to 6 1/2" insertable), so it really gave me a realistic feel with its girth; however, for a beginner, it could be quite uncomfortable. I used a water-based lube and inserted it very slowly, and it worked well to reach my g-spot. I added a clit vibrator for added stimulation, and the two combined was amazing!

This toy is not discreet at all! It is large and would need to be buried in a suitcase for travel. I actually hide it pretty well inside a sock.

The control is located at the base of the vibrator where you would actually be holding the toy. It is operated by a dial that you manipulate with your thumb which intially may take some getting used to, but once you have the hang of it, adjusting it is easy. The intensity gently graduates from low to high as you rotate the dial.

The actual bullet is where it supposed to be - at the tip of the shaft so that it can direct the stimulation where you want it to be. I achieved a variety of sensations by thrusting it, turning it from side to side, or simply massaging my clit.

The wonderful thing is this toy is QUIET!!! I was amazed at how quiet it remained even on the highest setting. It would definitely not be heard through a door if someone were standing outside your door or in another room. If they were in the same room, there is a slight buzzing noise which might be heard.

The other great thing about this juice wonder is that it is waterproof. So, go ahead and take it into the shower, tub or pool. The O-ring does a really good job of keeping the water out of mine.

The thing that I don't particularly care for about this toy is that it is not marked for the direction of the batteries. I did figure out that when it's upside down with the tip facing you, the positive is on the left, and the negative is on the right. I put a little mark in the bottom to help me remember, so now it isn't an issue.

This an easy-to-care-for jelly toy. However, because it cannot be sterilized and it has a lower safety rating, I suggest using a condom over the shaft. Also, I personally wouldn't suggest anal play. I clean it up with mild toy cleaner and water, making sure to get in the textured ribs which takes no time at all. I store mine in a drawer snuggly sitting in the insert that came with the package, so it doesn't touch my other toys (as a chemical reaction when touching other toys of similar materials can cause one to melt), and it is well protected. I use lube with this, and both water-based and silicone lubricants will work.

The packaging, while not discreet as it has as picture of Monique on the front, performed well in protecting my future dream. It did have an insert which I saved for storage and put it in the plastic drawers where I keep my toys safely hidden. This was a plus for me because I like the orderly look of my toys lined up in their little made-to-fit tray, and no worries about it touching another toy. The remainder of the package was eaten by the trash can.

I will have to be perfectly honest: when I opened this baby, I couldn't wait for hubby to get home so we could enjoy this new toy together. This was my first g-spot vibrator, and I really wanted to share the new experience with him. However, it was a disaster, and I can't tell you why.

At first, he had me lying on my back and played with it inside me, and that just seemed painful, so we switched to the doggy position, and he inserted it from behind which I thought would be much better. Wrong. It hurt a lot. I was sooo disappointed that this little juicy wonder wasn't going to work for me.

I'm not one to give up easily, so one day when I was more relaxed, I pulled this little dreamer back out, lubed it well, and massaged my clit, and gently and ever-so-slowly began inserting it. I worked with and got the hang of using the control and handling it without any pain at all. This orange juice performed its little magic and left me dreaming for more.

Now, I honestly love it. I just think you need to take into consideration that its girth, while flexible, is probably just too much for a beginner.
