This was my first sex toy. I have to admit at first I was kind of afraid of it. However now that I've used it, it's fantastic! I was really drawn to the design of this toy (the swirls and shape). The vibes are great and it is multi-purpose; great for use externally or vaginally. The base is convenient to hold on to: it is hard plastic and then has a silicone-esqe portion that helps with grip. The swirls on it feel fantastic, not that you can feel them much vaginally though. The silicone is very soft, bendable and conforms nicely. I particularly love how this toy tapers into its considerably wider shaft from its narrow tip. This provides easy insertion, and acts as a great warm up. Although the size of it did intimidate me, don't let it intimidate you. The ease of insertion for the Lucky 7 is just phenomenal. The tip of this vibrator is fingertip sized, making it nice to use on your clitoris. I found that rubbing the length of the toy externally was way nicer but I think that depends on if you like more or less texture.

The vibrations are great, not too soft and not too vibey. The control for the vibe is easy, a roller dial that just gradually increases vibration. The vibrations can be felt from the tip to base quite well. On its highest setting it is a bit loud, so I reserve it for the shower. Most of the time though I use this toy without the vibe at all; the texture and feel of this toy are just enough for me. As for its shape, I would say that it hits the G-spot perfectly. I haven't had any problems there.

I found this toy a mite hard to use in conjunction with other toys, but that is not to say you can't try! Overall the it smelled nice, and had a great feel to it. The Lucky 7 does seem to collect some lint due to it being silicone. As EdenFantasys suggests, I used a water-based lube (not silicone-based) and was very satisfied. Cleanup was fairly easy; I use an antibacterial soap and hot water. However if you are sensitive to soap I suggest using a scent-free cleanser. Possibly the only downside for me is that the battery compartment does get a little moisture in it. It's not a leak, more like the heat from the shower sweat in a bit. However since I don't have batteries in mine most of the time it does not really pose an immediate problem for me. Also since it takes AA batteries it's very convenient since they're easy to come by.

One of the only downsides of this toy for me is that when using it, because it's a vibrator and not a dildo, you can't really brace it against anything for support if you want to position yourself differently. The end of it is rounded and hard plastic which slips easily. But this is not really a problem of the toy, just a personal one, due to the fact that I like to change things up a bit.

I mainly use this toy in the shower, especially when I want to turn the vibes on this baby up! That is not to say that the toy is loud but it is in fact very quiet. But the waterproofness of this toy makes it a great shower buddy.

I'd say that this vibe works the same for me. However it is quite difficult to pack (no disguising what this is for, haha), and not family friendly. Thankfully haven't had any of those problems, but not a toy I could leave out. As for performance I find myself not even using the vibe function that much anymore...
