The PowerGem is a fairly sizeable jelly rabbit vibrator. Its size makes it less than discreet. You’ll definitely need a dedicated place to hide this one! It’s 10“ long, with around 6“ insertible, and 7 ¼“ long from the very base of the toy where it meets the control, to the tip. The clitoral attachment measures 3“ long from the woodpecker’s bum to the top of his head, and the beak measures about ¾“ long. The distance from the shaft to where the tip of the beak sits is ¾“ long, but the clitoral attachment can be manipulated (though it won’t stay in place if you move it around). The shaft of the PowerGem is a cylinder with no notable differences in girth until the head. Around the shaft measures 4 ½“. Around the very bottom, just above the hard plastic base you’ll find a row of ducks/birds. 2“ up from the very base, there are two small rings, followed by a row of 1“ tall oval shaped bumps, and then gentle swirls along the rest of the shaft. The head is covered in protruding nubs, which stick out a little too much and are a little too rigid, in my opinion. Most of the shaft is filled with loose pearl beads, and the top 2 ½“ rotates.

When I first got the PowerGem, I was pretty excited. The texture on the head looked interesting, and so far I hav never used a toy with rotating beads or rotating head before. It arrived in an easy-open plastic clamshell package with a card insert including basic information about the toy and of course sales pitches!

Once I got it out of the package, I noticed that familiar jelly smell. It was pretty pungent and didn’t dissipate too much with a wash, but after around two months in my toy box and a few washes, the smell has faded. It is still noticeable, however.

I inserted the 4 AA batteries with no problems. The battery pack door is easy to open and close, and it’s easy to tell how the batteries are supposed to be put in. What I like about this toy is that the battery pack door is on the very bottom of the toy, so you have no risk of pulling it off during use like many other vibrators.

I checked out the controls, which I found to be pretty straightforward. You have 4 large buttons, two vertically arranged buttons to control the rotation: on/off and left/right. Below those are two horizontally arranged buttons for the vibrations, on/off and hi/lo. The buttons are easy to press, in fact a bit too easy. While I don’t find it to be too much of a problem during use, it still is easy enough to hit buttons accidentally. Because of this, do NOT store this toy with the batteries in it, because it will almost certainly get turned on in storage.

At first, the vibrations and rotation seemed pretty decent. The vibrations were a little less than toys like the Cunning Rabbit ( https://www.edenfantasys.com/vibrators/bullet-vibrators-egg-vibrators/cunning-rabbit ) or Ridged Rocker ( https://www.edenfantasys.com/vibrators/g-spot-vibrators/ridged-rocker ), but I found them to be alright. Not ideal, but not too low for me to have any fun. The rotation looked kind of weak, so I tried to see if I could tweak the rotating end a little. I was successful, and created a wider arc for rotation with some careful bending. Don’t take this too far, as you could easily damage the machinery. Now that it’s tweaked, the rotation is much nicer!

This rabbit vibe does get noisy. In my experience, the rotation can be heard through a closed door when everything is quiet. A TV or music would cover the sound of this up, however. The vibrations on low could not be heard through a closed door, and on high, white noise and a closed door will cover it up adequetely. This isn’t such a discreet vibe because of this, so I don’t think I’d recommend this to someone in a dorm or with very present housemates.

When I first went to use the PowerGem, I did NOT have fun getting those nubs past my inner labia. I am a pretty sensitive girl, but these things were just too much! They really irritated, but I managed to get it inserted and had no more discomfort once it was actually inside. On subsequent uses, I still have some discomfort getting this inserted, so it seems it wasn’t just a one time thing. I did find that the head felt nice on my clit, though, so that’s one plus. The rest of the texture on this toy was not noticeable to me.

Another annoying finding was the pearls. I hadn’t used any toys with rotating pearls (and so far haven’t bought anything else with similar loose pearls), so I have nothing to compare this to, but I hate the pearls. Now, this may just be a personal preference, but I don’t like them at all. If I relax my muscles, they feel okay but once in a while a bead will press out further than all the others and feel harsh and pokey. However, if I clench down on my pelvic muscles, as I do often during masturbation, they really start poking and pressing in all the wrong ways. This is enough to make me not want to use this vibe at all.

As for the clitoral attachment, I’m not entirely happy with it either. While the vibrations are alright, I prefer them more powerful and this didn’t quite have the punch I wanted. The placement of the attachment is okay for me. I don’t much like the shape though. I don’t even bother with the beak since I prefer solid stimulation on my clit. I press the top of the woodpecker’s head against my clitoris instead (that sounds... just terrible!), and because of this I need to hold the clitoral attachment down a bit to keep it pressed against me. Really, I’d prefer a wider head here and a slightly longer clitoral attachment.

This rabbit vibrator works, but it’s not all that great. I’ve only used this a scant handfull of times, mostly because the pearls bother me so much.

I simply don't use this toy anymore. After the first few unpleasant experiences, I see no need for it! The nubs on the head are too much, the pearls are VERY painful for me, and the clitoral attachment isn't ideal either. I would not recommend this toy, unfortunately.
