This toy may not be on the cusp of the sex toy design revolution, but it's great for getting newbies comfortable with playing with toys in a variety of ways, since it has a variety of uses. For someone like myself who'd come to accept the touch of my hand as the only solo action I could get without the risk of someone stumbling upon a veiny, plasticized phallus in my bedside table drawer, the Butterfly Kiss is a perfectly unintimidating introduction to the world of vibrators. Firstly, it's adorable, soft, discreetly designed, and non-threatening with its whimsical color palette and butterfly and heart design. It's also as simple to use as it appears. Despite the thinness of the insertable body, the bulbous head of this toy hits right against my g-spot without the fuss of having to search for the perfect angle. I didn't get too wild with position experimentation when I first tried this toy and I was still blown away by the intensity of the simultaneous g-spot and clitoral stimulation, even though the vibrations are relatively subtle.

Don't be fooled by the dainty presentation of the Butterfly Kiss...it packs a punch! I tucked it away for a while thinking I'd have no use for it with the inclusion of bigger and more elaborate toys to my collection, but it's back in my rotation now and I have a whole new appreciation for it! The flexible jelly and gentle 3-speed vibrations make it great for a variety of external uses. The head feels great against the clit for pre-game stimulation or as a combo with another dildo, and the head is also shaped perfectly to rest against the vaginal opening as a teaser before penetration. I still find myself reaching for the Butterfly Kiss over other toys if I know it'll be a quick session—this toy gets to the point with no frills! The butterfly flapping is a little too rapid for direct clitoral contact in my experience, but it is positioned perfectly when the head is fully inserted.

Because this toy is so small and the vibrations aren't over the top, it works at its all-time best in positions that allow firm contact between the head and the g-spot. Great intensity on all fours, laying on one side, or when pressed between the thighs!

Looking back with a more experienced perspective, this really is a pretty nice quickie g-spot vibe. The shaft—which is really just a means to separate the head from the base—doesn't offer much, nor do the butterfly wings for me personally. I find myself holding them still more often than I enjoy their stimulation. Still, the 3 1/2" insertable length is sized well for g-spot stimulation and the head, though small, gets the job done when I'm in a rush. I have no trouble reaching an orgasm in just a few minutes with this toy. I reach for it when I'm trying to relax my body before falling asleep or when I'm feeling lazy and don't want an elaborate session.

I still see this as a great beginner toy that you won't regret having around once you've graduated to more advanced designs, but it's so flexible that you could easily miss your g-spot with it if you don't know where to aim. For that reason I may not classify this as the "perfect" starter toy. A slightly firmer hooked style of a similar size may deliver better results with less maneuvering.
