As my first vibe, I was unsure what to expect. Yet the Groovies Slimline had me at first buzz. It is simple in design, yet powerful and quiet. The Slimline takes two AA batteries inserted at the base that unscrews. The base also twists for the level of vibration desired; there is not specific settings for vibrations, but as you turn the base the intensity gradually increases. As one of the women who does not orgasm internally, I found that by tilting the Slimline upward toward my stomach, I could receive clitoral stimulation as well. Yet, you could always just place the vibe directly on your "happy button" for stimulation as well. Its smooth design allows for easy going in and coming out, though you may want to engage in foreplay or add some lube before use.

The Groovies Slimline would be great for couples, especially because it is easy to use. Your partner can turn it on and get you hot and steamy as foreplay, or take it all of the way. There would be no difficulties turning it on and getting it involved in (and out if your man wants to take over!) the action. The one problem I have found is that it can be easy to accidentally change the vibration level. The Groovies Slimline is powerful and a classic must have for your box of fun!

I would caution that this toy is not suggested for anal play, as it does not have a flat base for keeping it from getting "lost" or injuring you.

The texture of the Slimline is very smooth. This makes it easy to use vaginally. Additionally, this texture makes it easy to clean. I use warm water and soap and the Groovies comes clean in a matter of seconds. It comes in two stylish colors of light pink and purple. I feel that the smoothness of it makes it a great vibe for beginners who may get distracted by the nubs and bumps of more complex vibrators.The Groovies is made of plastic, meaning non-porous and phthalate free. So it is safe with water, oil, and lubricants.

The design is simple, but in my opinion is built to get the job done. It is perfect for beginners like myself and is easy to use. The width of the Slimline is a bit on the smaller side and one of its lesser qualities at 3 CM. Yet the length is quite hefty at 19 CM. However, the size of this toy makes it easy for storage and traveling. A good comparison object would be the size of a banana, so it would fit easily into a medium to larger sized handbag for those times when you just need your Slimline handy!

The control for the vibe is dial based and located on the cap that twists off to insert the two AA batteries. By twisting the very end, you can increase the intensity of the vibrations. I personally prefer mine full blast, but you can easily change the vibrations with a simple twist. The problem with this is that if you typically hold your vibe by the bottom, you can accidentally change the Slimline's settings.

The Slimline is waterproof, yet I have been unable to test this yet. However, I look forward to writing an update as soon as I try it out!

The Slimline is very easy to clean. I always just rinse her off with a little soap and some warm water and she is ready to go again! She is easy to store in your naughty drawer or box. The package is re-closable, so I always keep mine in the original packaging to ensure that it stays clean.

If you are going to share this toy, it is always a good idea to use a condom during play in order to stay safe and clean. Also, if you do plan on using this toy in multiple orifices (i.e., anal to vaginal though not suggested) it is a really good idea to use a condom to avoid bacterial infections that can result from such a transfer.
