My Blueberry vibe is one of my favorite toys. It's the only toy in my small collection that's satisfying on its own; I usually use at least two vibes, one for insertion and one for clitoral stimulation, but this vibe is great for both without any help from other toys. The combination of the sleek, subtle shape, the smooth hard plastic, and the powerful vibrations makes this toy very, very satisfying.

I like to start with a low buzz while I focus on my clitoris, then slide it back and forth so I'm using it to stimulate myself both externally and internally. The curvy shape gives it just enough variety to make it interesting, while the smooth texture makes the transition from clitoral stimulation to internal stimulation incredibly easy with regard to both the movements required by my hand and the passage of the toy from one part of my body to another. I really like the bulges that go along the vibe from tip to base, gradually getting larger and providing an excellent surface for the transmission of vibrations. The unyielding hardness of the plastic means it's great for stroking in and out, whether you want to slowly build an intense rhythm or simply fuck yourself fast and hard.

The vibrations vary from a low whirr to a fast buzz. There's a dial at the base of the vibe which is easy to adjust with your fingers while you're using it, although the vibrations themselves are not as sensitive to the dial as I'd like. When the batteries are new, the first twist of the dial usually creates vibrations that are stronger than I want, and I have to dial it down a little. Sometimes it takes a few tries to get the soft buzz I want to begin with. Once you've started, though, it's easy to increase the intensity of the buzz, and it gets pretty strong with very little effort on the part of the user.

As I mentioned earlier, this toy is versatile enough to use on its own, but when I combine it with something else, look out. One thing I've found is that sometimes I try to hit the finish line too fast with this one, and without enough foreplay, I end up not being able to get where I want to go--but that's just because it feels so good, and I'm too impatient to take it slow. When you take your time with this toy, though, and get to know it as you get to know your body, it can create some pretty mind-blowing orgasms.

The Blueberry vibe is basically a hard plastic shaft but, rather than being straight, it has a slightly curvy shape that starts with a small bloop at the top and sweeps into larger bulges as you go down the shaft. The plastic itself is hard and smooth, the shape rigid and unyielding, but the texture of the surface is very smooth, allowing it to glide easily over your skin, especially if your skin is wet from water, sweat, lube, or natural lubrication.

The hard plastic transmits the vibrations very well. The vibrations are most intense at the tip of the toy, gradually becoming less intense as you move down to the base where the control dial is. You can still feel vibrations in the base, however, which I've found contributes to making my hand tingly or numb if I hold it for too long, and especially if I try gripping it too hard. It can also make my hand hurt, but I attribute that to carpal tunnel as much as to the toy.

The material is waterproof, which means you can use this in the shower or a spa if you want. It's also very compatible with wet skin, as mentioned before.

Visually speaking, this vibe is sleek and smooth, and the plastic is a lovely deep bluish color with just a hint of green; almost like a dark teal. The plastic is also somewhat transparent, so you can see the battery case, and even the batteries, inside. You can also see the vibrating mechanism itself, and it's pretty cool to watch the small copper-colored cog spin rapidly inside the tip of the toy. Well, the mechanism is actually in the valley between the bloop at the tip and the bloop just below it. The top bloop itself is just that lovely translucent blueberry-green color.

The shape of the Blueberry vibe makes it excellent for rubbing against the clitoris, nipples, or other parts of the body, while the length and rigidness make it a good toy for internal use as well. The slight bumps/bulbs/bulges provide just enough variety to maximize the sensatiosn, and in fact, make it very pleasant to slide in and out of whatever hole you please (although you should be careful if using it anally, as it has no flange). Because of the smoothness and the graduated bulbs along the shaft, I even like to slide it in and out of my mouth sometimes, just because it feels nice and makes a pleasing picture if someone happens to be watching.

This toy is a bit bigger and sturdier than you might think, based on the pictures. The length is slightly less than that of an average pencil box, which I know because that's what I use to store it. The top bloop is about the thickness of my thumb, and then widens quickly with the next bloop to a diameter about the same as two of my fingers put together, and volume-wise, about the size of three of my fingers pushed together in a tight triangle.

I would say the size of this toy is not for a beginner or someone who is very small, but this is not a huge toy either--slightly advanced in size, but not intimidating at all.

The vibrations are located mainly in the tip of the toy, and you can actually see the mechanism moving inside the translucent blue plastic. The vibrations spread from top to bottom, decreasing as you get closer to the base but not disappearing completely.

The intensity of the vibration is controlled by a dial at the base of the toy, which is easily adjusted with two fingers while using, but the vibrations are not as sensitive to the changes of the dial as they could be. It's easy to start with too much of a buzz, even if it feels like you've barely turned the dial. However, with a new or semi-new battery, there's plenty of room for the vibrations to increase if you want to turn them up higher.

This toy is waterproof and works just as well in water as it does out of water. The vibrations remain strong as long as you have good batteries inside.

This toy is easy to care for; I just run it under the tap when I'm done and let it air dry. I store it in a pencil case (without any pencils, of course). I don't worry about it coming into contact with other toys, as it's not porous at all and very easy to clean.

This is one of a few toys I was sad to leave behind when I moved a few years ago. For awhile I couldn't find it anywhere, but when I discovered that it was on this site, I had to buy it again right away. I'm so glad I did!
