The Butterfly Kiss Original was a such super hit for me and one of my very first toys, so I was very excited to experience the Butterfly Platinum. This is a classic case of, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." Everything I liked about the original is still here such as the three speed motor and flexibility.

The three speeds are great and I personally like spending a few minutes on each speed "warming up" and getting progressively faster as I get more excited. The button to change the speed takes quite a bit of pressure to hit though, and many times in the heat of the moment, I would weakly try to change the speed and be unable to press the button down all the way. Pressing the button isn't a great feat of strength, but it is not the easiest either.

I do not use this with any other toys as I like using it for the vibrations, the clitoral stimulation, and penetration. I tend not to use toys in the shower, but I am aware it is completely waterproof and would feel perfectly safe and comfortable using it in the shower. I may not be as comfortable using it during a bath and keeping it completely submerged for minutes on end.

I also typically use this alone as a masturbation aide. For clitoral stimulation, the butterfly wings and antennae are the most powerful; the bulb not so much. Its appearance is cute but not particularly "sexy", so it's not the most elegant looking toy to use with a partner. Alone, however, it's cute, whimsical, and feminine and feels very personal.

The TPR material may be a hit or miss for some and while it is not my favorite part of the product, I liked the fact that the material is soft and flexible. It cleans easily with soap and water, though I take a little extra time making sure it is thoroughly cleaned and then dried since the material is slightly more porous than glass or silicone.
