When this toy arrived, we were both excited to try it, so we tore open the nondescript package, revealing the box inside. The egg and remote were both nicely packaged in a smaller box, with directions (which you won't likely need). Both are made of smooth plastic but seem well-engineered without any obvious flaws. There is a small door on the back of the remote for a AAA battery, and the egg unscrews to insert two more AAA batteries. The threads on the egg did catch our eyes as they are super small, allowing for a tight, waterproof seal and a confident "it's closed" feel. The loop and cord are just long enough, but not too long as to have a long tail sticking out when inserted. The egg length itself is about 3", and the diameter is about 1 1/2", which seems to be about the right size to comfortably insert without worrying about anything falling out at an inopportune time. Just holding the egg and going through the different vibration settings, the egg seems to vibrate consistently, without any spot seeming to get too much or too little vibration. Also, there doesn't seem to be any odd clicking or rumbling that sometimes plastic vibrators seem to have.

We wanted to wait for the right time to use this, not simply put it in and do house chores (although now it seems like this could be fun too!). The next day we had the perfect opportunity, a football party at our house! Plenty of people coming over, but a fairly noisy environment, so we figured, "let's try it out!" We decided not to turn it on just yet, and she wore it for an hour or so as we prepped for the party. Guests arrived, the game was turned on, and people were talking. She was making a drink the first time I turned it on, and I could visibly see the effect on her face.

Male perspective: This toy at first seemed to be a little large. This is our first insertable remote control toy, and I kept wondering, "is it going to be intimidating for her to try?" However, the plastic is smooth, and with no sharp edges and a tapered tip, it certainly seemed doable. I helped put the toy inside her. Being a very visually stimulated kind of guy, it was quite titillating to insert. I used just a small amount of water-based lube on the tip of the toy, gently rubbed it around her vagina, slipped it between the labia, and smoothly inserted it; it seemed to nestle inside her securely. Throughout the evening, I turned it on and off periodically, cycling through the various settings. I could hear a slight hum when she was sitting on the couch or walking around, but nobody else noticed with the game on. This was not loud, and at one point, I even "bent down to pick something up" just so I could put my ear closer to see if it was really on. I could tell it was effective; sometimes, I'd see her jaw clench, and she sat differently than usual, often with her legs crossed when it was on. She didn't cum during the party, but after everyone left, I checked things out, and she was certainly wet and ready to go!

Female perspective: As my husband mentioned, this was our first insertable toy, so I really didn't know what to expect. The size did not bother me when I first saw it - it was smaller around than his penis and many of our toys. I did have some worries about it falling out, but for the most part, it stayed right where it was supposed to. The vibrations were strong, and the noise did not seem to be noticeable to those around me, although, in a quiet room, I might feel a bit nervous. Typically I do not like random vibrations, but instead a more constant pulse; however, I was surprised to find some of the settings were very pleasant - I think it was the 6th or 7th setting. Sitting on the couch with my legs extended on an ottoman was the best. I had to cross my legs to keep from wiggling when he turned it (and me) on. However, I am a girl who loves penetration. In and out movement inside me really gets me going, however to cum I like clitoral stimulation as well. This toy was very pleasurable and definitely was a turn-on, but I doubt it would ever "take me over the edge." At one point, I even pulled it out and let it rest between my panties and clit. The vibrations were awesome, but the humming noise was more noticeable. I'm not sure if the actual toy and vibrations, or simply the thought of being naughty, was the biggest turn-on, but after the guests left, it didn't matter!
