Pros: Cute, Non-threatening design, Quiet.

Cons: Dissatisfied with the construction, Wouldn’t trust the waterproof rating, Less than powerful vibrations.

The first thing I did when I got the email letting me know that I would be receiving the Vibesicle from California Exotics was call my roomie over to see. This had to be one of the cutest toys I have ever seen.

Once the toy arrived, the first thing I noticed about the vibe was no matter how adorable it is, the Vibesicle looked very poorly constructed. The hard plastic centre was glued into the jelly casing out of alignment. Excess glue had dried and collected around the edges and left a crusty remnant. Any pressure on the control caused it to loosen from the jelly, so needless to say, I did not risk testing the waterproof claims of this toy.

After a little cleaning to remove some of the build-up around the edges and the typical jelly odor, I still couldn’t get over the look of this toy. It really resembles a frosty summer treat and we couldn’t help thinking that it would be so fun to tease someone with! The outer shape looks absolutely lickable, and after a good scrub to get rid of that typical jelly smell, we did just that! I can totally see giving this vibe a little oral attention to set the mood for an evening.

Aside from the construction, the other thing that gave us pause regarding this toy was the shape. It is -very- rectangular. We couldn’t help thinking of the old square peg, round hole analogy. The corners are quite pronounced thanks to the deep grooves running down all four sides making the shape seem all the more harsh. It is also rather large. My roomie is a bit of a size queen and she even had to think twice before agreeing to a play session with the Vibesicle.

Slipping into bed with this toy was an interesting event. After a good warm up, the Vibesicle got a turn to try and make us melt. We both agreed that it was a “hurts so good” sensation. The edges of the toy were very noticeable and neither of us could handle the full length and width. With the shape of this toy, it was a tough choice between feeling stretched wide or tall. She preferred one, and I liked the other which made from some interesting play. Both of us got off quite happily in the end with a little extra help.

As far as bees and vrooms, this toy gets two of each. It is not loud at all, almost silent once you tuck it under covers but the power matches. During a little tease session I asked my roomie what she thought of the power and she replied, “That’s good for low, crank it up a little” but it was already as high as it would go. Overall, this toy gets three stars from me. It is neither my favorite, nor is it banished from the toy drawer. I would highly recommend this toy if someone was looking for a good toy to tease with or something cute, fun and with a playful exterior.
