On first look, the Customize your "O" blue dolphin Rabbit vibrator by California Exotic is quite cute, I'm not normally a fan of blue but the colour is very sweet and almost girly. Added to this are the heart shapes moulded onto the top quarter, they really are darling and made me giggle a little!

It required a little assembly, more than the usual "put in batteries and play" - the micro-stimulator had small watch-like batteries (provided) which were a little fiddly, but well worth the effort. I also couldn't help pulling off the removable dolphin clitoral stimulator with flexible ring wishing I had other vibrators to strap it on - or a partner! The vibrator is soft and squishy and it has a lovely dolphin attached including fins and a long nose.

I settled down to have a little play and I got myself going using the dolphin alone first. The dorsal fin pushed up against my clit whilst its nose flicked and vibrated against my hole. I was getting worked up already and I was only on setting 2. When I took it to the 3rd setting I was almost pushed over the edge.

The head of the toy is bulbous and I thought it would be difficult to push inside me, but it was surprisingly easy; and with no lubrication, although I did use lube at other times. It has that cute row of hearts, followed by a range of ridges in many directions and styles; almost tickling my insides as I gripped it and, whether it was my imagination or not, I could feel them! It's slightly larger at the base but I didn't feel the need for really deep penetration with this sex toy. This is pretty usually for me though.

There are 4 settings: low and high vibration, as well as rotation in both clockwise and counter-clockwise. Even on low the vibration is quite intense and I found the high setting to be a little too much. I'm sure it's a personal preference as I enjoy the vibration externally rather than internally. The rotation though was excellent!

I loved the rotating rod and bead stimulation! It seemed to move the entire shaft in an almost wriggle sensation and it felt hard as well as firm; as opposed to the massaging feel of beads. This sex toy has strength! Even as I came the rotations continued, which I often find are muted in beaded rabbit vibrators, making for a more explosive orgasm.

My favourite part was that I could move the dolphin up and down the shaft so I could enjoy shallow penetration and still have the vibrations exactly where I wanted them. And the reverse as well! If I wanted it deeper, then I just moved the dolphin down the shaft and presto!

AND - the mini vibrator can be removed from the dolphin's sleeve - so I could take it out and use it bare against as a clitoral massager for really intense vibes. I even took it away on holidays (I had one night on my own, a girl needs company?!). Although I'm a little concerned about what I'll do when the batteries run out as I have no idea where to buy more.

All in all, this is a great all-rounder, both a good gift for someone who hasn't used a vibrator before or for those who are looking for a something a bit more powerful. Cleaning is easy, be aware that the shaft is not waterproof, although the micro-stimulator is. The rubber is somewhat sticky and does collect fluff, but it is easily removed.
