The Mini Flex Massager is a pocket rocket, and its main use is for clitoral stimulation. It is not designed for vaginal or anal insertion, but you could definitely use it in those areas for outer stimulation. The Mini Flex Massager can also be used to stimulate other areas such as nipples.

This toy is very simple and therefore not intimidating. It will make a great first vibe, or something that can be easily introduced to a partner. Because it is more for clitoral stimulation and not insertion, no one is being replaced - just enhanced. Partners can experiment with different positions, such as holding it on the woman's clitoris during intercourse, or on the outside of the cheek or under the tongue during oral sex. The vibe comes with three different attachments that can easily be switched out.

The Mini Flex Massager is made of plastic. This is one of the safer materials, yet not as good as pure silicone or glass. It has no smell or taste, and is smooth to the touch. The three different head attachments are also plastic. They are rigid without any give. The attachments range from completely round and smooth, to small pointy nubs. You could even skip the heads and simply use the three smooth metal beads on the top of the massager. Just be sure to thoroughly clean in the creases after use.

The entire massager is 4" long with a 1" diameter. It is run by a single AA battery. I actually prefer this over the rechargeable batteries. If it ever dies or is running low, I can just swap out the battery and get back to business instead of having to wait for it to charge.

This toy is very simple and straight forward. You do not have to worry about this toy working with your anatomy like so many of the more expensive toys. With this one, you just put it on the spot where you want it and enjoy. It can easily be used on men and women alike, which makes it a great couple's toy. At under $10, this toy is also very affordable, which is appealing if this is your first vibe.

The toy is small and easily hidden. It's easy to travel with - you can even fit it in your pocket for quick transport. Since the plastic is smooth, it wont collect dust or lint like a jelly or some silicone toys would.

This toy only has one speed. Simply turn the base to start the vibrations. This could be a con for people who like the different settings and speeds. For me, I always just turn my toys on the the highest vibration, so one speed for me wasn't an issue - especially since it has decent vibrations.

The controls are easy to use, and I have never had any problems with accidentally turning it off. However, one detail that could be irritating is that if you twist it all the way to the right, it vibrates; if you twist it all the way to the left, it opens to change the battery. The off position is right in between these, so at times I have overshot the off position and opened the toy.

This toy isn't incredibly loud, but you can definitely hear it. It can be heard under covers and across the room, but not through a closed door.

Because this toy is plastic, it can be used with a silicone or water-based lubricant. Always be sure to properly clean the toy. Personally, I recommend using a cleaner that is specifically designed for sex toys. This way, you know you're using a product that is safe for your toy as well as your body. Eden has a variety of spray and wipe cleaners. You could also use soap and water to clean the toy.

This toy is simple to clean, since it is mostly used outside of the body. However, just be sure to clean the different head attachments, and if you use it without one, be sure to get in the creases around the metal beads on the top.

After the toy is clean, I would store it in a bag or box to protect it from dust.

Typically I go for toys with stronger vibrations. I use this toy without the attachable heads because I can feel the vibrations more. I use this toy if I am alone and just need to get the job done. I also use it if I know I am going to take longer than my partner, so I can either 1) be closer to orgasm so it doesn't take long, or 2) have my first orgasm out of the way so it's easier to have another one.
