"Fleur-de-lis" translated from French means "flower of the lily." For me, lilies make much better table centerpieces than bedroom accessories.

It looks fantastic - the smooth silicone toy standing upright in its clear plastic case. Plus, this vibrator has some of the more sought-after features; it's waterproof, silicone, multi-speed, and relatively quiet. But that's about where "fantastic" stops.

Looking at the vibrator, you would think it was designed for g-spot stimulation. With a diameter of about an inch and a half and an insertable length of about six inches (the total length is just under eight inches), it provides just enough length and girth to probably reach most g-spots. The problem is that the vibrator does not provide very much flexibility. The larger of the two ball-like knobs on the end serves as a joint, and everything from there to the battery cap is not flexible. The motor is at the smaller of the two knobs, and there's a flexible, cartilage-like curved tip. Now, unless you are uber-flexible, have super-long arms, or get a partner involved, it is difficult to keep the vibrator positioned just right to provide in and out g-spot stimulation.

That's just the tip of the iceberg, though, and speaking of tips, this one is useless. The flexible tip makes it difficult to apply direct pressure to the clit unless you hold down the tip itself; the vibrator will give in to pressure from being held anywhere else and bend backwards at the knob-like joint, rendering it pretty useless as a clitoral vibrator. As far as g-spot stimulation goes, the flexible tip is also a letdown. If you tighten your Kegel muscles as you get closer to the big "O," the pressure the muscles apply also bends the flexible tip so that it straightens out inside of you, no longer hitting the g-spot. The only useful thing I can think of for a tip like this would be anal play. The tip comes to a small point and gradually gets larger down to the two knobs. Because of the small width just under the second knob, the vibrator would probably stay inserted in the anus relatively well.

The vibrator offers three constant vibrating speeds that are operated by a push button at the top of the battery cap. The vibrations are not very deep but are strong enough for me not to consider them surface vibrations. The vibrator is pretty quiet, and at the fastest speed cannot be heard in the next room if you have the door shut. The seam on the underside is very smooth and does not provide any discomfort.

This vibrator may be good for g-spot beginners, as it offers multiple speeds and a flexible tip that provides no discomfort and does not overstimulate the g-spot. I would also suggest this to those with a sensitive g-spot or those who enjoy anal play. This is fun for foreplay, but it's not going to knock your socks off.

It does not go through batteries any more or less frequently than most standard vibrators. It's easy to clean - use standard silicone toy cleaner. Waterproof and quiet, it can be used just about anywhere. The case is cute for display - that is, if you aren't looking to conceal it. Because of the plastic, tight-fitting nature of the case, it works well for travel by keeping the "on" button from being pressed.
