This was the second vibe I ever owned and I used it regularly for years! I enjoyed using it as a clitoral vibrator the most because it was easy to hold pointing downward and the curve of the tip gave great direct stimulation. It also bends a bit in the shaft, making it very fun to apply your own pressure. I didn't use it too much for insertion. It feels nice when inside, but I have a personal preference for vibration on the clitoris, not on the inside.

I particularly like this model because of its sleek design (it was not intimidating, and my boyfriend didn't laugh at it either!). I'm not a huge fan of realistic or intimidating-looking dildos and vibes, but this is completely a personal preference! The shape is nice and graceful and it slides along the body wonderfully. I have the purple model, and it's a lovely clear color. It's so pretty, sitting in my toy box.

As for the smell, I did notice a faint plastic-like smell, but it didn't bother me. I also found it to be completely waterproof as advertised and took it in the tub often. I also found it to be very quiet, and wasn't scared to use it behind a closed door if others were in the house.

The only downside is the jelly material with the low safety rating. However, I found the jelly to have a very pleasing texture that was smooth and slightly "rubbery" and easy to clean. It also contributes to that nice bending action of the shaft. Unfortunately, I'm retiring this after 4+ years to move on to some vibes with safer materials. However, that is a personal call, of course.

If you are okay with the jelly material, I say definitely give this a try! It is a great beginner vibe, and set at a great price. You won't be disappointed.

I still like this toy, and I maintain that it is a great toy for beginners. However, I have stopped using it frequently due to learning more about the jelly material...which is too bad because this was a pretty great vibe. I wish Doc Johnson would upgrade the material of this line!
