I’m pretty sure the Passion Probe Ripple was designed with building demolition in mind. That’s how strong her vibrations are. In all seriousness, this is the strongest vibration I’ve ever felt, sure to please anyone looking for that. I must say that I wasn’t optimistic when I first held her, though. She’s made of a material called Rubber Cote, which is a non-porous and phthalate free material. When I first held the Passion Probe, I agreed with the material guide’s description of her surface as velvety but was a bit put off by the firmness of the toy. This thing is firm, far far closer on the firmness spectrum to metal than it is to even hard silicones. While in the Alumina Flow, I loved firmness, I worried that the Passion Probe Ripples’ straight and thick shaft, combined with her firm composition wouldn’t allow my vagina much breathing room.

In fact, this premonition proved true when I got around to using the Passion Probe Ripple. While the head is reasonably sized, the shaft thickens to 1 and 5/8 inches, a hefty girth to accommodate in a toy that is straight shafted and totally rigid. In practice, this meant that the Passion Probe Ripple could go in (with the help of some lube) and come out, but that I didn’t have a whole lot of options when it came to pushing it around inside me and hitting different spots. This thing fit in one angle and one spot and it didn’t venture far from there.

With that said, damn, did that vibration feel good. This thing runs on two C batteries. At first, that ticked me off, since it was a hassle to go find C batteries and I had tons of double As lying about. In retrospect, though, I assume the special batteries are what allow this sucker to do its thing and do it well. The batteries take up most of the space of the shaft and as a result, the vibrations are especially strong in the shaft. They aren’t slacking, however, anywhere on the toy. Incidentally, the Passion Probe Ripple is fairly loud but not nearly as loud as you might expect from the intensity of the vibrations. She can be heard through a blanket but shouldn’t require too loud music to cover her sounds beyond that.

Vibration is controlled by a spin wheel on the base which does get a little difficult to spin when your hands are covered in lube but can be done. It ranges from moderate to extraordinarily powerful vibration. This is the kind of vibration that hurts your hand to hold for too long, where too long is defined as more than 30 seconds. What I found that worked was to either let the toy sit inside me while on the highest vibration or to hold it by the base which doesn’t feel the major intensity of the vibration. That said, those of you looking for intense vibration have found the toy for you.

At high vibration, the ripples on the shaft felt okay but don’t really add very much to the toy. With the intensity of vibration, the ripples were pretty overshadowed. They did feel good entering and exiting my vagina at lower vibrations, though—the rings provided a massage of my vaginal lips not unlike the feeling of having fingers running over them. In all, this toy’s strength lay in its vibrations, not in its shape. That vibration, however, brought me to an extremely powerful orgasm more quickly than many toys that are shaped in more friendly ways due to the sheer intensity of the experience.

Clean the Passion Probe Ripple with soap and water or a toy cleaner. She cannot be sterilized so you should use her with condoms if you intend on sharing her with partners or using her in multiple holes.
