Use

This vibrator is nothing more than a sub-par clitoral vibrator. I would imagine it could probably be used vaginally, but it would be extremely uncomfortable due to the shape of the head as well as the little fingers that are next to impossible to lubricate up. This toy would probably work for most people who enjoy different speeds/rhythmic patterns of vibrations.

Material / Texture

This is made of a PU coated plastic with silicone nubs on the head of the vibrator. It has a velvety texture on the rest of the vibrator. Prior to washing the toy there was a slight plastic odor, but once I thoroughly washed it prior to use the odor went away.

The texture does add extra stimulation. The nubs on the head of the vibrator give a rougher texture than most toys, but the main issue is there is quite a bit of "drag" when using it clitorally. I tried to add some water-based lubricant, but due to the crevices between the nubs, it was difficult to fully lubricate the toy.

I believe this texture is for more intermediate users. Beginners might find the texture a little rough if they aren't used to different textures.

Design / Shape / Size

The design is definitely unique. Shaped much like a hair brush, this toy definitely has a shape unlike no other. It is ergonomic and comfortable to use. It is about the size of a standard hair brush as well, at over 6 inches in length.

This toy has a one-button control, located on the handle which is extremely easy to use.

The main thing with this toy is that the battery compartment is VERY difficult to open. I had to use a set of pliers to open it up.
    • Ergonomic

Functions / Performance / Controls

There is only one button that controls the multiple settings. This button controls the multiple speeds/rhythmic vibrations. In order to turn the vibrator off, you must hold down the button until it shuts off, which can make it take a few seconds for it to completely shut down, which might not be ideal in some situations.

The vibrations are located at the head of the vibrator. As you cycle through the different settings the strength of the vibrations change as well. Also, the noise level changes depending on the rhythmic setting you are using. Some have a lower buzz sound, while others have a louder sound.

There are seven fuctions of vibrations and pulsations. They include a steady vibration, a repeating steady pulsation, a repeating "SOS" morse code pulsation as well as a couple others. They range from a deep pulse to a buzz. The strength of the vibrations range from a moderate to a moderate-high strength.

This toy is not waterproof and should not be submerged at anytime.

Care and Maintenance

This toy can be somewhat difficult to clean, due to the crevices located between the nubs on the head of the vibrator. I used an antibacterial toy cleaner and made sure to rinse it repeatedly to clean all of the cleanser off of the toy. It definitely took some time and diligence.

Since this toy has silicone on the head, you need to use water-based lubricants to prevent breakdown.
    • Hard to clean

Personal comments

The multiple speeds and rhythmic patterns are quite enjoyable, but it is quite difficult to add enough lubricant to decrease the amount of drag caused by the silicone nubs. I definitely don't think this is a top of the line toy, but I could see where some people might like it.

    I have yet to meet anyone truly wow'd by the Dr. Berman line. It could be because we are much harder to impress than your average person.

    Good review. This looks like one to pass on really. Too many little issues add up to a non-buy for me. Thanks

    The part about the patterns leaving a SOS morse code made me laugh. My brother was in the navy in the 90's and was a radio operator and his job was sending/receiving morse code.
