When I think of traditional vibrators, this is the kind of product that always comes to mind. Sparkle vibe is the poster child of a basic vibe; it's a non-imtimidating vibrator with a cute design and a low enough price that it can appeal to many beginners.

The vibrator itself is a little over five inches in length and comes in a variety of cute glittery shades to suit your personal taste. The packaging it comes in is a semi-hard plastic that can be opened by popping open the sides. Everything it comes packaged in is made of a recyclable material but I would be very careful about the edges as I found the one I purchased was a little jagged. The vibrator itself is your standard, non-textured vibe. It has a long sleek shape and comes in several different glittery colours. The vibrations in the toy are powered by a small dial at the very bottom. It does have multiple speed options but I personally wasn't able to tell much of a difference between them. When turned on, the vibrator makes a low humming sound so it is best to use this in a private setting.

Personally this was the first vibrator that I ever purchased. What attracted me to it was that it came in a pretty design and was priced much lower than some of the other vibes that were available to me at the time. Although I don't use it very often these days, it was a good introductory toy that got me acquainted with using a multi-speed vibrator. It's about an inch in diameter so it isn't too wide for those of you who are searching for something on the smaller side. It can be used for clitoral or vaginal stimulation although its smooth design may not be pleasurable for someone who prefers texture. I have never used it for anal play but unless you're experienced I would not recommend it as the base of the toy is not flared.

If you are new to sex toys or you're just looking for a very basic vibrator I would say that this is the best bang for your buck. Even if you discover afterwards that you aren't a fan, it's priced low enough that you won't be left feeling like you wasted your money. Because it's so cheap it would be great for anyone who is looking for a gag gift for someone. If you are an experienced user, or if like me you prefer something with a bit of texture, then I would suggest just skipping over this one. It's a cute vibrator for how much it costs but it really doesn't come with any extra features and its dial-turn vibrations are fairly basic.
