I'm never left hanging with this vibrator. Even if the batteries are low, it still gives its all. Though with great power and low price comes the sound of a beehive next to your ear. I don't have a problem with the loud noise, since a soft volume T.V. can drown it out. I personally use this for clitoral stimulation, but it can be inserted up to 6" vaginally. It is 7" in total length, 3" in circumference, and 1" in diameter. It might be a nice anal teaser, but because of the lack of base, it wouldn't be safe for serious anal play. Since this is made of PU Coated Plastic and rates a 7 on the Eden Fantasy safety scale, I would use a condom if going back and forth with anal/vaginal play or sharing between partners. It is also a great vibrator for men, as the vibrations carry strong on the perineum, scrotum, and shaft.

One nice thing about this vibrator is that it takes AA batteries. If the vibrations are starting to diminish, I can always rustle up some AA's. Though, you do have to be careful when screwing the end back on. I had initially bought two, but I broke my first one because I had tightened the end too much. It cracked the opaque plastic end with the speed dial, and never worked right again. The dial control is handy to have because of how simple it is. If you need to turn it up, down, or off in a hurry, there's no screwing around with vibration patterns and buttons. Simply up for on and down for off.

The clear(ish) non-discreet packaging says it's waterproof, and there is a sealing o-ring underneath the threading when you remove the end. You will want to avoid getting oil based lube on the o-ring, as it could damage it. I never used it in water, simply because I didn't want to. It does make clean-up a breeze, though. I simply take a toy-cleaning wipe to it and throw it back into the drawer divider in my top drawer of my nightstand. You can wash it with water and gentle soap or toy cleaner, too.

The velvet finish on the Velvet Touch Vibrator is what drew me to it in the first place. It gives it a soft feeling--not in pliancy, but in texture. Also, because the velvet finish gives it additional drag, it stays in one place when using it for clitoral stimulation, rather than sliding all over the place. Though I don't, you can use this vibrator with water based or silicone based lubricants.

I use this vibrator nearly every night and about every other day. When ever I use it, I always cum in about two minutes. I've had it for two years, and it's still my number one toy. I love the dial control. I can turn it off quick (if I'm waking up my grumpy, sleeping husband) and have absolute control of the intensity.

I still like this vibe but it's finally dying. I've had it for a long time and I can tell the motor is starting to go out on it. I'll soon be looking to buy another basic vibe like this one, if not the same one, very soon.
