Before I got this toy, I wasn't expecting much. Shiny vibrator, that was about it. Even when it arrived at my house, I wasn't sure -- the box was simple, the packaging was simple, the vibe looked really simple. But then I broke it out and turned it on.

This little baby only takes one battery, but it really revs. To the point where it would be teeth-jolting if you put it anywhere near your mouth. Good thing it's not for your mouth -- I think this toy is best used on your clit. It could go internal, certainly, and it doesn't lose its rev-power while it's inside, but it's so fantastic against the clit that you may not want to waste it anywhere else.

Typically, I need a couple of fingers on my clit to get off, but this baby rocks. I sat down, popped in a favorite porn, and didn't even make it to the end of it before I hit orgasm. I will say that if you crank it all the way up, there's something about the intensity of the vibrations that almost overwhelms the orgasm, so you might want to experiment a bit until you find the speed that's right for you.

We also played around using it during oral sex and finger-play. It's a great, small toy to lay against the clit while someone's going down on you or fingering you. It stays out of the way and at the same time, continues to really stimulate the clit.

This vibe is smoooooth. The material is shiny and slick, and it has no taste or odor or anything. It's got that metallic feel all the way, only it's sleeker, without any of metal's rough edges.

The texture is so smooth that it can get slippery. If you combine that with the high vibrations and any wetness/lube, it can be hard to hold the vibe in its designated spot. It takes a bit of finagling to get it to stay on your clit -- but once you get the angle and can hold it there, it's a delight.

The design is as simple as it gets -- a sleek, shiny oblong vibe that's about 4.5 inches long or so. The size is small enough to be unobtrusive and large enough that you can actually feel it, both on the clit and inside.

One of the great things about this vibe is that anyone can use it. Turn it on, adjust from slow (a quiet, soft vibration) to holy shit (a really fast, really strong movement) and lay back and let this toy do all the work. It's small and non-threatening, which means that you can maneuver it around to various hot spots during solo play, fucking, oral sex or just about anything else. I totally plan to throw it into my suitcase as well, since it weighs almost nothing and doesn't take up any space.

Simple. Simple. Simple. That is the name of the game with this vibe. Slip in the single battery, crank the shiny gem on the end and go to town.

I will say that if you've ever had a vibe and said, "It's just not powerful/fast/hard enough to get me off!" then you might want to look at this one. The high setting is HIGH. Most of the vibrations are in the tip, which I think is a nice touch, especially if you're using it as a clit vibe.

Again, I didn't expect much from the waterproof option. It's just a simple rubber seal, so I took it into the shower four times and dropped it in the bathtub with me, just to see if it would leak. Nothing. It stayed as solidly sealed as it had in the beginning. One of the bonuses of this toy: Because it's plastic, the water runs right off it. And unlike some silicone and other materials that can be hard to use in the shower without a lube, this one stays slippery and usable. I didn't need lube to keep it sliding over my body parts.

One dislike: This sucker is LOUD if you rev it all the way up. It sounds like something's shaking loose inside, but I think that's just the motor going about a thousand miles an hour. It's actually loud to the point where it woke the dog up, who came to investigate. Lovely... So, probably not your best bet if you're trying to sneak in a little something under the radar.

Again, ease of use is the key with this toy. It's so sleek and slick that everything slides off it, which means no dog hair, no human hair, no marks or scratches. It's also one of the few toys that I don't have to worry about very much. It can sit on the bathtub for a couple of days, rest behind the sink overnight, fall under the bed after fucking... never a problem. You just clean it up again and go to town.

Cleaning is also simple. Since it's plastic, you can either wash it with hot water and an antibacterial soap, or you can wipe it down with rubbing alcohol. Another option is to use a toy cover, such as these, which are made by Cal Exotica and which fit nicely over this particular toy.

If you want to go with lubes, you have lots of options: the plastic will hold up to water-based, oil-based or silicone lubes. For water play, oil or silicone might work best, since water-based lubes tend to 'evaporate' in water.

To me, this is a get-off-quick toy or a get-started-quick toy. I don't know if I'd use it for extended play -- it's just too powerful and focused. If you want something to wake your clit up ahead of time or if you are in need of a solid, hard orgasm, this is a great choice.
