I got this free with my purchase; otherwise I wouldn't be writing this review because I haven't found the best use for this vibrator yet. I know my husband used it on his neck for some neck pain, but otherwise it just seems a little awkward to me. I suppose though, you could use it to just stimulate your clit, but I find it a little large for that. This does say waterproof, but I get nervous using toys around water.

The material of the pleasure ball is great, latex free and phthalates free. I didn't notice any smells, which is always a plus with any toy. The red part is a harder material than the pink part, which is quite nice. The button is easy to push and to change speeds. There are 3 speeds, and all of them are good depending on what you like.

The design of the pleasure ball is fairly good, I'm not sure that it’s a good size for my liking. It is a bit big to hold in my hands. This toy could be used by both a beginner and an advanced user. Since the toy is round, you could hide it easily. It doesn't come with any packaging (other than the plastic) so one would have to get creative, or just stick in your toy box. I always like to take the batteries out when I store things that require them. Traveling with this could be easy; it would fit nicely in a suitcase and not take up too much room at all.

The overall performance of the pleasure ball is okay. The 3 speeds are good, but the overall size is just big. I know other ways that we can use (sore necks and things like that) so at least we will always have that. I haven't tried it in the water, but it does state that it is waterproof.

The controls are easy to use and to find. There is a push button on the top that you push to turn on, to change the speed and turn off. The noise. I haven't talked about the noise. This toy is a little louder than I'd like, it doesn't bother me overly bad, just louder than one would first expect.

Cleaning this toy is simple. Just use some soap and water and wipe it down. I store it with all my other toys in a big box, without batteries. Overall, easy care and maintenance!

The original package is a rectangular shape, made of clear plastic. The instructions were how to put the batteries in. If intending as a gift, I'd suggest wrapping it up or putting it in a gift bag. I also wouldn't use the original package as the storage box.
