The Hot Dolphin is a funny, but still fun little toy. There are several notable aspects of this vibe and although not all of them are of significant consequence, they’re still entertaining and contribute to the overall appeal (or not) of the toy. For starters, the packaging was clearly written by someone who did not have a good grasp on the English language. Statements like: “This is a quiet but hot night!!! Want to fly to the erotic paradise? You can’t without this fantastic partner-hot dolphin bullet!!”, “Just for the individual, make sure the furniture is clean before and after using.”, “Waterproofing dolphin bullet!!!” and “Make you happy every day!” simply cover the box, and I could go on and on.

Straight from the box, I appreciated that the Hot Dolphin had no chemical smells emanating from it— a trait that is frequent among lower quality toys. The dolphin itself was pretty sticky, which improved upon washing with soap and water although the jelly material retained a slightly tacky quality.

Once slicked up, the tackiness wasn’t noticeable. I turned on vibe with a dial that I felt turned backwards—in my mind, vibrations should get stronger when turned the right and milder when turned to the left but the opposite is true on the Hot Dolphin. This proved to be an annoying nuisance as I accidentally turned the vibrations off several time while playing and intending to turn them up. I was impressed with the intensity of vibrations that the dolphin has to offer: even on its lowest setting, I found the vibe pleasurable especially on my clit. The tip of the dolphin’s beak was indeed slightly soft and flexible which is a nice feature for clitoral stimulation.

After playing on my clit for a while, I decided to try the Hot Dolphin on for size internally. The dolphin has a nice thick girth for a bullet which I really appreciated. I found the lower speeds to be too low when using it internally, but the higher speeds were great! Although it probably wasn’t very good for the toy, I really liked applying tension to the cord while the dolphin was inside me which added to the feeling of fullness that the aforementioned girth provided.

All in all, I thought this was a nice toy albeit of lower quality. There were a few problems I found with it though, and the biggest was that this toy is not actually waterproof although it is marketed as such. The box itself states that the cord and battery case must be kept dry, which leads me to question the statement “waterproof”. The insertable part of any vibrator is technically waterproof, but that doesn’t mean it should be advertised that way.

I’m also disappointed by toys which can’t be used with oil based lubricants, which are by far my favorite. Additionally, the rubber material this toy is made out of is less than ideal as far as safety is concerned, as it is porous and cannot be readily disinfected.
