The Bottle Rockets Orion is a tiny vibe that packs quite a punch. At first glimpse this vibe can appear mundane and limited. But in this case, appearances are definitely deceiving and the Orion proves that good things do come in tiny packages.

The Orion is indeed a small vibe measuring only 4 1/2 inches with an insertable length of 3 1/4 inches. And while the Orion's size makes vaginal insertion difficult and unimpressive, the petite package, velvety texture, and rounded tip makes it a perfect (and discreet) clitoral stimulator.

When used by itself the Orion provides a wonderfully intense vibration, that usually isn't found in discreet vibes. However, when used with a partner, or in conjunction with additional toys, this Bottle Rocket really begins to take off. Its size makes is easy to maneuver and use in a variety of situations and positions (including water play since it is waterproof).

My husband and I were able to use it in a several positions without it becoming uncomfortable, awkward, or hampering our movement from position to position. Additionally, despite the high intensity, the Orion is whisper quiet. In fact, when used under the covers it becomes virtually silent. I was able to use it without waking up my husband who was sleeping next to me in bed.

In fact the only downside I could find about the Bottle Rocket Orion is its lack of variable speeds. It simply has a button on the base and two settings: on and off. But to my surprise the lack of variety did not hamper my orgasm in the slightest. I simply regulated the stimulation by changing the placement of the vibe, holding stationary or moving it around.

This vibe is made of phthalates-free plastic and has a velvety-soft texture. And even straight out of the package it had no discernible odor. The shaft is covered with large ribs, and flares into a rounded bulbous tip. The ribs didn't seem to add much to the stimulation, especially since this vibe isn't ideal for vaginal or anal use, but I found the rounded tip to be much more comfortable for clitoral stimulation than the more pointed tips commonly found on other vibrators.

As mentioned, the design of the Orion is what sets it apart from other discreet vibes.The controls are easy to use, and the shape and size make it ideal for use in a variety of situations. It is powerful, water-proof, compact, quiet, and is powered by a single AA battery; which makes it an ideal toy to use while traveling.

I recently took it on an extended vacation and found it could take the place of several of my other less-portable toys. It is a simple vibe, designed mainly for clitoral stimulation, but it does what it is designed to do extremely well. Its size and ease of use make it ideal for beginners, while its versatility also makes it an ideal addition to the more advanced user's toy box.

The simplicity of the Orion's design translates into a toy that is easy to use and care for. The vibrations are turned on by a small on/off button that is placed on the bottom of the toy. The placement offers easy access, but also is protected enough that it does not get accidentally turned off; even when placed in between two bodies, or held at inventive angles.

There are only two settings, on and off; but the power provided was intense enough to produce on orgasm without the aid of additional toys or stimulation. The Orion is waterproof and performs just as well in water as out.

This vibe is as easy to care for as it is to use. It can be used with water, oil, or silicone lubes. However, I rarely need to use any lube at all. Once again the small size of this vibe as well as the plastic material makes storage easy. It fits easily in any toy box, or you can keep it in its original packaging. Cleaning this vibe is also extremely easy. Simply rinse the vibe using warm water and antibacterial soap, or use a toy cleaner. Overall, this toy is easy to use, clean and maintain.

The packaging for this toy was truly unique. In a play on its name, the Bottle Rocket Orion came encased in its own clear plastic bottle (a quick hint: it unscrews from the bottom, so don't try to pop the bottle cap). The packaging would make a very cute gift box, especially for a bachelorette party or bridal shower. There are no instructions included with the toy, but due the simplistic design I didn't feel any were needed.
