When I first saw the Lipstick Vibe at the toy store, I was amazed by the thought of concealing a sex toy in a lipstick package. I was pessimistic however, as to how the toy would perform once the initial novelty of it wore off. How much power could such a tiny thing pack? Is it going to be discreet, or wake everyone in the house up?

The toy is nicely packaged. There isn't any freakishly spread vaginas on it, just a plain, pink background. And this is a plus for all those women out there who are looking for a discreet vibe. I bought the Magenta version but they have other colors. It is slightly larger than an average lipstick tube, but if you own as much makeup as I do, no one you know will look twice if they see it in a drawer or on a desk, even if its next to a real lipstick. The top of the case comes off to reveal the “lipstick”, which is the portion of the toy I use to stimulate my clitoris and nipples. The plastic is smooth and does the job, especially when paired with a nice glass wand.

The toy operates on one AAA battery, yet packs a surprisingly powerful punch. When turned on, it sound like a cell phone set to vibrate. Though it only operates on one speed, that speed is plenty to get me off. It can be used to stimulate not only the clitoris and outer pussy area, but also the nipples. It slides deliciously along the body when a tiny bit of lube is applied to the “lipstick”, but I’d recommend using lube sparingly on this toy as it could get messy and unmanageably slippery in a flash. Cleanup can be a pain though because sadly this toy is not waterproof, but hey nothing can be perfect.
