This toy is a very effective G-spot stimulator, especially easy for novice toy users. There is nothing intimidating about this toy. It has a wonderful shape that make it very well-suited to any body, and the touch-control is extremely convenient.

The material is so soft & smooth to the touch, it feels wonderful against your most sensitive areas! There is a bit of texture in the form of ridges, however it's more for being able to hold the toy in your hand than for stimulation. There was really no smell to this toy at all, even straight out of the package!

The size and shape are adequate for its purpose. The curve and size of the G-spot tip works well both for G-spot and clitoral stimulation. It's a beneficial toy for any woman, whether novice or advanced. Every woman should have a G-spot stimulator, and this is a very non-intimidating option!

The push-button control on the end of the toy is easy to locate. Sometimes a bit too easy, though, as one can accidentally change the function while trying to move the toy, which is not beneficial to the goal. And, in moments like that, having to cycle through all the functions to get to the one you were using may not be what you want to do. However, most of the functions are quite pleasurable, so it's not difficult to find a few settings to be favorites. Each individual likes certain types of functions (short strong pulses, low continual vibration, building waves, etc.) and there's something for everyone available! On most setting, this toy isn't bad in the noise department. Will you be able to use it in bed next to your partner without them knowing? If they sleep deeply, maybe. It's not whisper-quiet on every setting though, and since it's not completely "submerged" being a g-spot vibrator (and the vibrations being in the very tip of the toy) there is less to muffle the sound. I noticed the most noise on the middle/high solid buzz setting. Though it is waterproof, I have yet to *use* it in water. However, it being waterproof meant I didn't have to worry about getting it quite "well-lubricated" during orgasm, and cleanup was a snap!

This toy is very easy to maintain. Being waterproof, you can apply toy cleaner AND rinse it under water without worrying about keeping certain parts dry! I learned my mistake years ago not to let toys get too close, and I stick to water-based lube with my non-anal toys as a general rule so there isn't an issue with the toys melting together, discoloring, becoming disfigured, etc. The material of this toy makes it very easy to store, as hair and lint don't stick to it.

"Packaging" is a stretch. It was literally shrink-wrapped without any instructions - just the toy wrapped in plastic. You needed to somehow pierce the plastic wrap without harming the toy, which proved most challenging for me. It didn't really need "instructions" though, as it's pretty basic: insert batteries, screw on end cap, push button, repeat.
