If this vibrator were a food, it would be a saltine cracker.

Sure, it's a nice simple staple for your toybox, but it probably will not wow you or be your favorite. Pure's only transgression was its inability to stand out in my mind. It's simple, tasteful, and... a bit lackluster.

Pure is a hard plastic vibrator with a smooth, velvety finish. It is of fairly average size, at six inches long and 1-1/4 inches in diameter. The shaft is straight and tapers slightly at the end for insertion, which I found to be very easy. The battery compartment is also sealed off on this toy, making it suitable for use in the water—a definite plus in my book.

Pure is made by the brand Evolved, meaning it comes in a metal tin with a clear plastic lid that can be used for storage. As someone with a storage problem, I found the tin to be very useful in helping to keep my collection organized. The tin is fairly shallow, so it should fit in most nightstands with no problem.

The toy has three speeds of vibration controlled by a push button on the base. The first speed barely moves at all. Against my skin, I would not have even noticed that it was on if it were not for the sound. The medium setting is a low-intensity vibration as well, though much stronger than the first setting. The third setting makes a drastic jump to a fairly strong, thrumming vibration. It does not have the power of say, the Hitachi, but it definitely has some get-up-and-go.

In terms of settings, I would have preferred less of a jump between the settings, or perhaps a dial base instead. The second setting wasn't strong enough, but the third setting was too strong, which I found a little frustrating.

I was impressed with Pure's noise level relative to its power. As strong as it is, I would have expected it to be louder.

All in all, I would give Pure three stars. Though it's nothing to write home about, it will work if you're looking for something simple.

Cleanup of plastic toys is fairly simple and can be done with soap and warm water. Water or silicone-based lubes can also be used on plastic toys. It is important to note that because this toy does not have a flared base, it is not safe to be used anally.

When paring down my collection, this was one of the first toys I got rid of. It's not particularly strong, have an interesting shape, an interesting texture or a pleasing material. It's not a particularly good value, either. Compared with other toys I've owned, I'd downgrade this to 3 vrooms. This toy was just not at all memorable.
