The Jewel vibrator is definitely a beginners vibe. Jewel stimulates the clit with its vibrations and if used the right way, can also provide some g-spot stimulation as well. It's waterproof so it can be used just about anywhere.

Jewel is made from hard plastic so it is non-porous. It is smooth to the touch sans the rhinestones on the base. The texture itself could be for beginners or advanced users. There was no discernible smell or taste to this vibe when taken from it's packaging.

This vibe has a straight shaft with a slight bulge at the top half, and a rounded flat tip. Going off of JUST shape and size, it was a good dildo. There was enough girth there for it to be felt well during penetration. It would be an appropriate size for any user. It is easy to hide (slip it in a sock!) and would be suitable for travel because of it's size.

This is where Jewel looses her sparkle. The vibrations in this toy are very light. They weren't enough to get me off even with penetration. The little vibrations you do get are centered at the top, but can be felt throughout the shaft. It has a dial base on the bottom of the toy, beneath the rhinestones that is convenient to use. It is pretty noisy, especially for such light vibrations.

Jewel is waterproof, and performed well when submerged in water. The battery compartment was dry after being submerged several times for several minutes. Basically, it works great as a waterproof dildo. Vibe? Not so much. It would probably be ok for a beginner who is getting used to that kind of stimulation. Otherwise, leave it be.

Jewel is made from hard plastic so it can be washed with warm water and soap, or wiped down with rubbing alcohol. Storage is simple. You can store it in it's packaging, in a plastic bag, or even in a sock in your drawer.

Jewel is compatible with water, silicone, and oil based lubricants. Remember to use a condom if you plan on sharing it! Please?

Jewel came packaged in a cardboard box. She was sitting in a plastic tray. The packaging wasn't discrete at all, as it has a clear part on the front that shows off the toy, as well as naked women on the front and back of the box.

Also, my box claimed Jewel was going to be black, instead of the purple I received. The words "The Black King of Jewel" and photos of a black version of the toy adorned the box. You can use the box for storage, or you can use something else because you don't need packaging that big, it takes up space.

I really wanted to like this toy. It is pretty and girlie. But the weak vibrations just killed it for me. This was one jewel that didn't need to be found.
