This toy is pretty great. I got mine in pink, and it's really cute. It comes in a wonderful little tin package, with black foam inserts to hold it into place. The box has a window displaying the toy, not discreet at all. Upon taking it out of the tin box, I did not notice any smell at all, and my nose is pretty keen on that sort of thing. The pink color is true to the image on EdenFantasys website. The Jelly portion is a see-through hot pink, while the velvet-coated plastic base is more of a baby pale pink.

After inserting AA batteries into the little slide-out battery cage, and twisting on the base, I pressed the button on the bottom to turn the toy onto the 'low' setting. The toy is very rumbly, and the motor located in the tip or head of the toy is huge. However, after clicking the button again to turn it to 'medium', the 'high' setting, I noticed the toy was really loud. It sounds like the motor is bouncing back and forth rapidly inside of the jelly shell that is the head of this toy. For me, loudness is not an issue...I just did not expect it to sound like I have three vibrators on all at once. I'm sure this is just some sort of defect my toy just happened to have.

The Serenade is nicely ribbed, but not so much so that it can be felt internally. Alot of people seem to think this toy is a huge monster. Not really. I compared it with my Fleur de Lis silicone Desire and it's only a tad bit thicker, the thickest portion at the base with is gradually becoming slimmer towards the top. It is very bendy, and squishy. Usually, I need alot of pressure clitorally to get off, and to do so with this toy I had to hold the head firmly in place over the clitoris. It I tried to hold it in place with my hand on the bottom handle portion, it just bent so much that I thought the jelly would rip. So for me, this is a better thrusting toy.

Being jelly, I believe you can use either water or silicone lube with Serenade. And it being jelly, you don't need alot at all. All my other toys are high grade silicone, and this material is nice, but not my favorite. If sharing you're gonna have to use a condom. I would recommend this toy, because it is so pretty, rumbly and strong. Do not be afraid of the girth, as I can easily wrap my hand around it, with my fingers overlapping. Definately worth $16 bucks.
***This toy is technically TRP***

I have had this vibe for over a month, and have only used it twice. Turns out I’m not a huge fan of super flexible jelly. There is just too much give to this toy and I wish I had gotten a firmer toy instead of this one. I’m sure this toy would be good for someone who hasn't been spoiled by high-grade silicone toys. Good vibrations, poor material.
