I have found that my vibrators tend to only last 6 months to a year before I have to get a new one; either the power starts to go, the cord has issues and causes it to stop working, or I just get bored with it. This little guy has been satisfying me for over a year now, and it is still going strong. I wish that the control part was a little bit smaller, but the vibrator portion is a great size. The cord is long enough to have the control part away from the action, so it doesn't get in the way. I have had a few that have had shorter cords, and it was a pain to keep the controller out of the way during use. I love that it has a smooth feel, and there there are no major seams on the vibrator.

This vibrator is not very loud at all; you could easily use it with other people in the room if you needed to without being detected. I have used it under the sheets next to my husband on numerous occasions without him hearing it, or having it wake him up. It's small enough to be hidden from sight in a small container or drawer. I would say if you live with roommates or in a dorm, you could easily keep and use this little guy without anyone knowing. It takes enough pressure to push the buttons to turn it on that it won't turn on by itself if it hits something in a drawer.

It has four settings. With fresh batteries, the highest speed is more than enough to get the job done quickly. The lowest setting is still powerful enough to take care of business at a slower pace if you like. It does not go through batteries as fast as some other vibrators that I have had in the past. I can use this on a fairly regular basis and not have to change the batteries for a few months, though I do notice that it loses some of its power after about a month. It's an easy toy to clean; I don't like to run water over my toys, so I use a wet cloth with cleaner on it.
