I've always been curious about "rabbit" vibrators. They've always seemed a little too bulky and overly complicated for me to imagine enjoying and when I had one years ago I got little pleasure out of it. I thought I'd re-visit the experience with the "Patina" from the Petite Couture Collection, as it was much slimmer than the average rabbit and made out of smooth silicone instead of the traditional jelly.

When I pulled it out of the box, I immediately loved fondling the toy over and over, due to its oh-so-smooth feel. It took three AA batteries and provides about three speeds on the shaft and six varying speeds on the clitoral massager part. By far the clitoral massager is the most powerful of the two functions. The shaft only does a circling motion at the tip, much like a large finger trying to stimulate the G-spot. In contrast, the clitoral massages offers direct pulsation in three speeds and then some varying interval pulsations in three different patterns. There's quite a bit to play with in order to find out what works for you. It took awhile for me to find the right speed combination that I liked best, but that was usually with both settings on "high."

While I would say this is a very nice rabbit toy, my experience with it wasn't exactly mind-blowing as I am mostly a clit girl and I still found the shaft part too bulky to insert into me when masturbating. I tried a few times and it just didn't do it for me. Quite honestly, I really wonder how women insert any of those larger bulky vibes into themselves the while masturbating. It just doesn't feel good to me. The clitoral massages part is nice and provides enough power to do the job for me, but it probably won't pull me away from my trusty old Acuvibe.
