The first thing I noticed when I received Bliss in the mail was that it's just so cute. The plastic it's made from is a lovely shade, and the sparkles add a feminine note to something that looks like it could, conceivably, be sitting in a doctor's office.

It's very discreet, and while I wouldn't necessarily leave it lying out in plain sight, it looks nothing like most traditional vibes. So if you have curious little hands around or a nosy roommate, this vibe could be written off fairly easily as a shiatsu foot massager or something else of the sort.

As far as ergonomics go, Bliss was a delight to hold and use. The streamlined form fit into my hand, much like a high end pen might, and the weighted tip was just right. The wand-like format removed the one huge complaint that I usually have with clitoral vibes: hand cramping.

Most finger vibes or bullet vibes used for clitoral stimulation can end up causing your hand to cramp by the end as well as being hard or awkward to hang on to in the heat of the moment. This was not a problem with Bliss. The long handle allowed me to place the metal ball at the end of the vibe exactly where I wanted it to be with little or no fuss at all, and the power switch, positioned on the opposite end of vibe, was completely out of my way. No accidental turn offs here.

During my first session, I discovered that the tip of the vibe is super maneuverable, perfect for making little swirling circles around my clitoris with a minimum of hand movement. In just minutes, I was in a state that I can very appropriately describe as, pardon the pun, bliss.

The intensity was just right, powerful without being numbing, and for such an awesome little workhorse, Bliss is also very quiet, barely audible though the sheets and certainly not audible through even the thinnest of doors or walls.

Another plus is that Waterproof pixies bliss is a member of California Exotic’s Waterproof Pixies series and is therefore ready to rock whenever you need to let off a little stress in the tub or the shower. The rubber o-ring that seals off the battery compartment works admirably well and looks to be easily replaceable in the case of deterioration.

Cleanup is a breeze as well; with the only materials used being hard plastic and metal, Bliss can easily be sanitized with your favorite toy cleaner, rubbing alcohol, or simple soap and water.

The only possible complaint I could have with Bliss is that it only has one level of stimulation, which, for some people, might not be enough. It could also prove awkward for use during sex with a partner, as the wand format that makes it so pleasant for solo use could get in the way during intimate moments. However, for the price, you couldn’t ask for a nicer little vibe, and Bliss has definitely become one of my favorite toys to date.
