My boyfriend had wanted a remote control toy|Butterfly vibrators & Remote control toys for some time. And who can blame him? What man wouldn’t want a remote controlled device with which he could manipulate his partner’s clitoral sensations? Unfortunately, we’d had a hard time finding one with consistently good reviews that seemed practical to wear under clothing, discreet and had an effective remote feature.

We finally found all of those in the Waterproof Remote Control Venus Butterfly|Waterproof remote control venus butterfly by California Exotic. After taking it out of its packaging, it took me a few minutes to figure out how to maneuver the straps onto my body, but once I did, they were easy to adjust and very comfortable. The soft elastic didn’t cut into my body or create unsightly lumps, yet was secure enough to keep the butterfly in his place. The bullet fit nicely against my sweet spot, and, when turned on, had far more vibration power than I had expected.

The remote works quite well, even from the next room, which we were able to test while I wore the Venus making dinner. The variation of the vibration settings was really great, and of a variety that left me pleasantly surprised. There are various settings for intensity, different patterns of vibration, and an overall fun selection of options.

Though the Vroom is completely adequate, the bullet won’t nestle directly against your clitoris without some help; that pesky labia always gets in the way. So, for me, at least, the Butterfly isn’t going to get me to orgasm while doing the housework, but will if I give him just a little bit of anatomical guidance.

This toy is perfect for partner play whether in the shower, cleaning the carpet or disinfecting the toilet; however, make sure you’re familiar with all the settings before you take it out on the town… some of the settings are louder than others, which might give your sexy little game away. My boyfriend commented that the remote is compact enough to secret away in a pocket, as well.

The one downside to this toy is that we found the bullet rather hard to get out of the butterfly casing, though using some lube may help getting it in and out if you need to. All in all, I’d highly recommend this toy to anyone who enjoys prolonged teasing or orgasm control, out-of-the-box foreplay, or just fun partner hijinks in general.

This ended up being one of my more ridiculous purchases. After several uses, it became clear that this was only useful when lounging around the house, and even that started to feel cumbersome and more work than it was worth. After a year, the plastic had discolored significantly, and so even its aesthetic was diminished. I would amend my rating from 5/5 to 3/5.
