So right out of the box (which, like any Lelo product, is well above the usual packaging toys come in) we were in awe at the artistic lines and sexy look of the Soraya. Naturally, disappointment set in when we came upon the mandatory charging instructions. (I can't deny, there was a little cheating, in that before plugging it in to charge, we ran through the different cycles)

Like all of the Lelo products that we've received, there's a sample of Lelo's self-branded lube (and for being a lube snob, I can tell you that this is a quality product, which I'll have to review on its own one day). One of the best things I can say is that the lube is free of parabens and most of the other nasty stuff found in many lubes, without sacrificing the overall quality (it's still slick). Even the packaging is elegant, just like the toys it accompanies.

As you'd expect, there's a silk case to store the vibe in, along with the charger and the usual reading materials. The outer packaging, the stuff with the attractive photos, was nice to see out of the shipping carton, but it quickly went to the recycle bin, but the gorgeous box inside, complete with Lelo's embossed lettering, is the full time storage space for this toy, as anything else just wouldn't do it justice. The silicone is quality material in the Soraya; none of that cheap stuff that you have to worry about melting when in contact with another toy. Overall, the construction, the feel, the look, is all superb. Just holding it is a turn on! And pressing the buttons to cycle through the levels of vibration is followed by various combinations of waves. Normally, I don't care for the patterns, but with this amazing toy... the vibration settings add to the overall experience. But will it fly?

We were skeptical about how "great" this vibe really is, and whether it would deliver based on the very high expectations we had. The feel is phenomenal. We've used a lot of vibrators, and plenty of rabbits of varying shapes and sizes, many of which were pretty damn nice. The Soraya fits... not to tight, not too loose, but just right. The vibrations travel right through you, and arrive exactly where they should. I can honestly say, this is the ultimate rabbit, and the ultimate vibrator for me. There was nothing negative about it's use.

While my original vibe seemed to be defective (started overheating with very little use, which is something I've never seen in any vibe before), Eden replaced it so quickly that I was only without for a week.

I've started going through my other vibes, getting rid of all the lesser toys. The charge is fantastic (it becomes ready to use in just 20 minutes), and it lasts as long as I need, often for 2-3 sessions with plenty of vroom to satisfy. As mentioned previously, the shape and position of the clit stimulation is perfect for me. This truly is an amazingly well designed vibe.
