While simple in design and shape, the marble swirl vibe does indeed do its job right.

When I first got this toy I got it for two main reasons: it was cheap and it was easy to work. It runs on a single AA battery, which is easy to find, and the vibrations it creates when turned on are the perfect amount to get the job done.

It's made of a hard, durable plastic that is safe and non-toxic. It's simple design (no curves, no textured material) make it very easy to clean. All that is needed is a little water and some soap.

Please note that this product it NOT waterproof; when cleaning make sure not to get it too wet or take it in the shower when you're using it.

This is a very good toy for a beginner to use because of its basic design and because it is just so very easy to use. Its multispeed settings make it easy enough to control what you're feeling. Battery life on the toy is reasonable depending on how often and for how long it is used. My battery died within two and a half months of using it, though I used it quiet frequently.

In terms of noise, it's not as quiet as one should like. The buzzing, while not distinguishable from outside of a closed room as the buzzing of a toy, is loud enough to get people wondering a bit. While it CAN be heard under the covers, having a little mood music on while using the toy will easily hide the buzz.

I would recommend this to those just starting to experiment with toys. It's easy to use, clean, store, and easy to keep going. It's a simple toy, yes, but you can't deny that it gets the job done.
