The Pirates Pendant vibe from Digital Playground is part of the new line of products inspired by the Pirates movies. The vibe comes packaged in a little plastic box and dangles in the box like costume jewelry would. While it's not 100% discreet packaging I think it'd make a good gift, especially if you know someone who is a fan of the Pirates movies or just pirates in general.

The vibe itself is made out of hard plastic that is then painted in a metallic finish. It takes three watch batteries which do come included and are housed inside the vibe and can be changed by unscrewing the top portion of the bullet. The vibe is decorated with pirate themed images like skulls and what I think are swords although the design of those aren't very detailed. The packaging states that it's a velvet soft texture but I don't agree with that, it's a very shiny slick texture. The chain is pretty long on this pendant which allows it to fall pretty low which makes it serve well for men or women wearing it. I especially like the long chain so that I can tuck it into my bra and make it even more discreet.

One thing that's not discreet about this toy though? When it accidentally turns on! I've spent some time around the house wearing the pendant to see if it would turn on if bumped against something and to see if it drew attention. I have three kids and kids have watchful eyes so if something looked out of the norm they would mention in. Now luckily noone thought anything of it being anything but a necklace (tucked in to my bra...I have little pirate fans in the house so I wasn't about to let the actual pendant be seen!) But there were a few times that I would reach across my body or lean against something and suddenly there'd be vibration in my shirt! Woops! And if that happens you have to then cycle through all the settings because there isn't an off button. Not a big deal unless you're out in public where reaching into your shirt and fiddling with a button would be a bit awkward!

Now, when actually using the toy for it's intended purpose I liked that button because it's very easy to use and to cycle through the different patterns. The first two are steady vibrations in a low and high. The vibrations are powerful but feel a bit buzzy rather then being deep vibrations. They worked as a tease or a warm up but weren't really enough to get me to climax on their own. There's then three pulsation patterns. The pulsations while not as intense did feel deeper.

Honestly I feel this toy's being punch comes from it's design and it's ability to be used as a discreet vibe by doubling as a pendant. It performed well enough but it wasn't anything spectacular as far as power or patterns.

My favorite part of this vibe was actually that with the chain and dangling the vibe the motor allows the vibe to spin. And it spins pretty fast too. It only spins when it's hanging free or draped against something somewhat firm so while I wasn't able to allow it to spin when using it for clitoral stimulation I was able to have it spin while draping it and using it as a teasing massage. The spinning adds to the vibration sensation and can be really fun. Especially if you use it on someone who is blindfolded because then you won't know where will be tingled next. This so far has been my favorite way to use the toy since it's not quite powerful enough for me anyway.

The batteries died in this pendant vibe the next time I used it after writing the original review. They died right when I was trying to climax with it too, which was pretty frustrating. I can't say it's really that this vibe is a battery drainer though because each time the bullet was on it was on for quite some time, which was actually what the problem was. It would take so long to reach orgasm using this, and it wasn't even a guarantee that it would ever get me there.

As a teaser I'd still recommend it, but for me I like a toy that can do both. I want to start off on a tease but eventually get to the grand finale.
