When I saw the Tingle tip waterproof vibe in its clear plastic box, my first thought was, "Damn, that thing is ugly." It looks like a purple octopus tentacle, with bumpy nubs all over it. I tried to picture it as a complete octopus, with eight of these vibrating tentacles shooting out from all sides. It's just not very sexy. I personally like a nice, fat Magnum-sized dick, and this starts wide at the base, but tapers into a very thin point at the top. "This isn't going to come close to filling me up," I thought.

So I stole some double A batteries out of my roommates' remote control and tried it out inside my vagina. The only real vibration was coming from its spindly little tip, and I couldn't even feel that part when it was in me.

I gave up on that and put it the bulleted tip on my clit. The vibration was pretty dull, and I was disappointed that it had only one speed. I really get off on a jackhammer type experience, and this vibration was more comparable to a cell phone. I was able to achieve a mild orgasm after a while, but the whole ordeal was pretty frustrating. I would have had better luck with my fingers.

Determined to find the tingle tip's best use, I decided to shove it up my boyfriend's ass. We had been toying with using a strap-on for a while, but his butt-hymen was still intact, and we wanted his first time to be gentle. The tingle tip's best feature would come in handy here. It's so organic and mushy feeling, I found myself wanting to squeeze the octopus tentacle whenever I was stressed out.

So, after some lubing, I stuck the tip inside him, and he said he liked it. We slowly inserted more and more of the tentacle until it was all the way in, and he said it felt good and didn't hurt him at all. After a short while, he was at his limit for the day and we took it out.

Since that day, we have used it on both of our asses and enjoyed it. I actually enjoy the gentler vibration when it's inside my butt, and I like that it goes in smoothly while making me feel full. It's a good introduction to butt play.

Bottom line: Do not even think about using this inside your vagina unless you have the world's smallest vagina. But if you are curious about butt play, have fun!
