This toy is definitely one of my favorites thus far. While the packaging isn't discreet, it is classy. I’m actually glad that the mostly clear box shows the vibe instead of hiding it. That’s one less employee that has to be bothered with requests to open the box so I can view what the vibe really looks like. Also, right on the packaging it says all the major aspects that a customer needs to know before buying it. For instance, it mentions it having multiple speeds, being waterproof, phthalate-free, and needing batteries. It only takes two AA batteries which are easy to insert and take out.

This Velvet Touch toy is smooth to the touch and inviting. One big pro is that since it's not shaped to resemble a real-life penis and its form as a whole is simplistic, my partner finds it fun to add to our time in the bedroom. Some men tend to be too rough with using a vaginally centered toy so I appreciate that its tip is not dangerously pointed like some other toys. While it doesn't irritate the skin if not well-lubricated, I still recommend using a water-based lube. What makes me happy is it's still very effective and not too strong when placed against the clitoris.

As far as noise levels, I'm afraid it vibrates a tad bit too loud for me. As someone who needs a toy to be as quiet as possible, since I live with a roommate, I find myself trying to muffle the sound of it when it's vibrating on its highest level. It is, however, very easy to clean, since it only takes soap and warm water. Plus, it doesn't "eat" batteries. I've had this one for over a year and there are no heating issues and it still gets the job done.
