This pretty purple vibe|Tender touch ribbed is made of silicone, which is an excellent material for a sex toy as well as a welcome alternative to the typical jelly or rubber material found in many other vibes.

The Tender Touch Ribbed features a very soft, squishy feel throughout its 7" length. At just 1.5" wide, the Tender Touch Ribbed would be a good size for all but absolute beginners or the most hard-core size queens.

See the trio of ridges just below the toy's semi-realistic head? Those felt great sliding into and out of my vagina. Also, this portion of the toy is incredibly flexible, so flexible in fact that I could bend the control base of the toy sharply upward when the head of the toy was in me. It won't stay in that position unassisted, but it's a great feature for those who worry about choosing a toy that's too hard or that has the potential to poke.

Keep in mind that those tempting ridges and delectable softness are meant only for the vagina, not the ass. There's no flange on this toy, so there's nothing to keep it from wandering off into the recesses of your butt. Choose something else for anal play|Anal toys for 101 graduates. Really.

A knob on the toy's base runs the motor through a fairly wide range of vibration intensities. It maxes out at a pretty powerful level. The motor itself is located low on the toy's shaft, making it best for those who like a rumbly feeling of fullness as opposed to very direct, fast clitoral vibrations.

The squishy material isn't the best for conducting vibrations (choose a firmer vibe made of hard plastic for that purpose), but it you like mild clitoral vibrations, the Tender Touch Ribbed|Tender touch ribbed might be perfect.

You will definitely need a good lube with this vibe. The silicone surface along with the toy's ridges give it a great deal of friction, so plan on having a bottle of Sliquid|Sliquid organics silk or System JO|System JO H2O nearby.

I'd highly recommend the Tender Touch Ribbed for those who need a soft, flexible vibe with diffuse, moderately strong vibrations.
