The most immediately apparent feature of the Bliss #12 is its size. Not intended for the feint of heart, this traditional vibrator measures in at just over five inches around and 6.75” long. The insertable portion of this toy is made of 100% silicone, which means that it is phthalates-free and can be sterilized with a 10% bleach solution. Bliss #12’s construction is solid, and this vibrator is “splashproof”, though Ophoria’s instructional pamphlet states that it should not be used underwater. Given the lack of a proper base, this toy should not be used for anal stimulation, and while it is silicone, you may wish to use a condom if you plan to share.

This vibrator has thick ridges and ribs, which are designed to provide extra stimulation. If you enjoy a highly textured, thick toy, this may be just right for you!

The Ophoria Bliss #12 turns on with a push of the button at the base of the vibrator, and has five vibration modes. The included pamphlet describes the first three as being standard vibrations of increasing intensity; The first two were more of a pulsating pattern, while the third was a strong, constant vibration. The fourth and fifth settings were “climax” and “pulsate”. The speeds and strengths of these settings cannot be adjusted separately, and they differed very little. While the vibrator is quite lengthy, the vibrations center on the upper two inches of the Bliss #12. G-Spot stimulation is possible, though the vibrator is not curved to facilitate this. On the other hand, the concentrated vibrations are excellent for clitoral use!

This is a large vibrator, in both length and girth; the ribbing certainly made it feel larger. The Bliss #12 would be great for someone looking for a large, well-made vibrator. Don't forget to use plenty of water-based lubrication.
