Mini Jelly Teaser

After playing with countless toys anything that isn't shaped like a bullet is worth a look. This thing looks like an alien gizmo of some kind - always a plus. When I got mine I anxiously pulled it out if its packaging and headed for the lab (my bedroom). I got naked, stretched out and relaxed. After warming myself up with some gentle touching I reached for the gizmo and set it to work on my clit. It wasn't an explosion of pleasure but the little guy got me going pretty good. I fantasized about being taken by my favorite movie pirate on a desert island somewhere and drifted off into orgasm land. It took me a while, but I was in the mood for slow and sexy so I didn't mind.

Bubble Head

You know, it's really hard to write about something you don't have strong feelings about. I neither liked nor hated Doc Johnson's Bubblehead. It's another in a growing line of toys that vibrate and rotate - and I'm not impressed with any of them. I didn't much care for the jelly material it's made of, and I found the "bubbles" a bit too rough for my delicate insides. However, the vibration gets pretty strong and the rotating movement can feel like petting on your clit if you do it right. It's a pretty good toy especially if you're fond of the rotating-type. I'm not. So you're on your own.

The Cone

The Cone is an amazing device.  It's one helluva powerful motor wrapped inside pink silicone with 16 different programs to hold your interest.  It takes three C-batteries to get started, so I bet you can guess that the results are impressive. Using the Cone is an exercise for your imagination. Getting into funky positions so that the best part of you rests on the best part of it is fun. Then switch to another rhythym or up the strength of the vibration with the two buttons on the front. With one press of Button One the cone turns on, a second press of Button One jumps directly to program 16 - the ultimate orgasm inducer according to ConeZone, and Button Two cycles from program 1 through program 16.

I, however, didn't happen to find 16 my magic number, and I really found that not being able to go back to a previous program without going all the way around again kind of frustrating. It definitely made experimenting a bit tedious. In my humble opinion, the perfect addition to The Cone would be a remote with each program on a separate button so you could go back and forth quickly and easily from whatever position you happen to have found works for you. Beside that, though, The Cone is a truly wonderful thing. It's new and different and the possibilities are endless. I look forward to continuing my exploration. You know . . . I think this thing may even be big enough to invite a friend to help. Hmmm . . .

Crystal Sleevz

The Crystal Sleevz set is a 7" vibrator with two jelly sleeves that fit snugly over the vibe. The vibrator is a slender one with a pretty powerful motor and the usual twist low-to-high knob on the bottom. The sleeves come in two shapes: one lifelike and the other with a curved tip for hitting your g-spot.

They both feel pretty damn good, and the vibration carries through the jelly just fine. My biggest complaint, though, is that the jelly feels cheap and sticky. I actually yanked out a few hairs that got stuck to it when I put it in my mouth to wet it. Ouch! I guess you gotta use lube instead of spit with this toy.

Lucid Dreams No. 28

The Lucid Dreams No. 28 is one of a line of new Doc Johnson toys. It's a soft jelly vibrator with a powerful motor and a twist on/off base. It's waterproof and pretty quiet too. In true Doc Johnson form, the Lucid Dreams are of superb quality. It's also kind of neat to be able to see inside the toy. No. 28 has some ridges that some people may find uncomfortable. I understand that there's a petite version (No. 16) which may be a better fit.

I adore Doc Johnson toys. After so many years, they are still able to keep coming up with new designs.  I've said it before - I'd love to be able to sit in on a design meeting one day. And with the new materials coming out with, the sky's the limit. I can't wait to try them all . . .

Iris by Lelo

The Iris by Lelo is an amazing device. It's the first I've seen with two motors and a rechargeable battery. Yes, that means you have to plug it in for four hours or so before the first time you use it. I was so anxious to try mine when I got it, but I was patient. Wow, it was worth the wait! The pink part is medical grade silicone, and it's splashproof and quiet too. The rigid curve makes hitting the g-spot easy, and the flower-like sculpt delivers some really interesting sensations. The button is a lockable toggle switch, which may be the only weak spot on this thing. The awkwardness of the switch is easily overlooked once the vibrations start. Toggling the switch side to side slides the vibe from low to high, while toggling it up and down cycles through its five patterns. They are: 1) crown, continuous; 2) base, continuous; 3) both, short pulse; 4), both, long pulse; 5) both, continuous. The Iris is well made, sturdy, and I am thoroughly impressed with it.

The Wave

The Wave is one of Doc Johnson's newest creations. It's designed to be inserted while the vibrator rests on the clit.  It's made of some very firm and flexible latex stuff, sort of like the old dildos but a little more forgiving. The vibrator is good and strong, and the wired remote can give your partner control of the action. It's waterproof too! You can always rely on Doc's stuff being of high quality, well constructed, and nicely packaged.

I would love to sit in on a design meeting one of these days. It's different from most things out there, but I have mixed feelings on the "all in one" toys. While they are a good idea for convenience and ease of use, insertables and clit stimulators - like components in a good stereo system - are better left separate. Women, obviously, come in all shapes and sizes. Getting an off-the-shelf toy that fits properly is tricky at best. Also, since the way an insertable is enjoyed and the way a clit stimulator is used are two very different motions, I find it difficult to get any kind of rhythm going. So, while the Wave is of superb quality and has a powerful vibe and, in fact, feels good, it just didn't make as one of my favorites.

Computer Accessory

Here's a great addition to any night of surfing for porn. This baby has no battery of its own. You plug it into the USB port of your computer and away you go. It's little and cute and quiet. It comes with an extra long cord - I don't know, in case you want to roll around with your computer, and a soft sleeve for variation. I found the vibe to be a little weak, but if you get off easily than this'll work just fine. In any case, it's great for foreplay and a wonderful addition to any business trip. Or, better yet, if your partner is stuck on the computer, you can use this li'l guy to provide entertainment or a much needed distraction.

Lipstick Hide-A-Vibe

Shhhh, it's really a vibrator. This is a great candidate for a vibe you keep in your purse or gym bag or in with other stuff because the case it hides in is completely inconspicuous. It looks like an overgrown lipstick, and if it's sitting next to other cosmetics, no one will notice. I've had mine for so long, and it hasn't failed me yet. It packs a powerful vibe in its little 5" body, especially on only one AA battery, and its small size is great for a little anal play - if you are so inclined.

Rock Chick

The Rock Chick is a high quality toy intended to be used inside and out at the same time. The hook is for your g-spot, and there's a bullet vibe in the other end for your clit. It's made of non-porous silicone and is waterproof. Supposedly once you've got it in position, you can sit up and stimulate yourself with a slight rocking motion (thus the name). I, however, couldn't get comfortable with it. The angle of the toy is too severe for me, so when I got the vibe where it ought to be, the hook was pressing way to hard on my insides. I guess I'm just not a fan of g-spot stimulators and clit stimulators in one toy. Too much depends on you and the toy being the same size. If this toy had a hinge instead of an inflexible elbow, I think we might have been in business.

Lily by Lelo

The Lily by Lelo is so cool. This little cutie is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, yet it's sleek and sexy at the same time. Whatever stuff the surface is made out of is amazing. It's rigid yet soft and smooth - a real treat to touch. Lily has a rechargeable battery, and the buttons glow while it's plugged in. (Great for finding it in the dark.) It comes in a nice box that holds the cord and the toy, and a satin bag to store the toy in to keep it clean. Lily is splashproof, but others in Lelo's line are submersible. The buttons are my only complaint with it. I found them a bit hard to find and press without looking. One button toggles the vibe higher and the other takes it back down, bit I'm not sure how many levels this thing has.

I think this would be a great gift or a fantastic first vibrator. It's soft and gentle and quiet and totally unintimidating.

Vibratex Beehive

The Vibratex Beehive is a rotating vibrator, similar to the rabbit-style vibes but without the clit stimulator. It sports two sliding switches - one switch controls the vibration and the other controls the rotation speed. It's made out of that soft jelly stuff, with a nubby shaft. The vibrator is in the beehive tip, which is a good thing.

The rotating, hand-held vibes mystify me. I've tried several of them, each a little different, and still come up with confusion. OK, the idea is you insert this bad boy into your vagina and let it caress you with its circular motion. The reality (in my experience) is that once it's inserted, the handle rotates and the head is held still. So, I grab hold of the handle and hold it still instead. Now, the motor sounds like it's really laboring and it starts heating up. I know from my limited knowledge of machinery that hot motors are unhappy motors. Could it be that my muscles are too strong for this vibe? If so, . . . cool. I guess I really need to try a Sybian after all.

360 Degree Swivel Vibrator

The 360 Degree Swivel Vibrator is a palm-sized, two-speed vibrator that has two heads (a smooth one and a nubby one) on a swivel mount so that it can be positioned at any angle. It's inexpensively priced, and it feels like it. The plastic feels cheap, and the swivel is not smooth. So, I really felt like I was going to break the damn thing while running it through its paces. The vibration was kind of strong and would probably get you off if you orgasm easily. It's not very versatile though, and it's pretty loud. It's not waterproof, so cleaning it is tricky at best. I initially thought that if it came with a cover, it would be great to throw in your bag - just in case. After checking it out, I don't think it would survive a week in the bottom of my bag. This is a good idea that just didn't measure up.

Ribbed UR3 G-Spot Hard Throb

The G-Spot Hard Throb is a simple design that really feels great. It's a standard 7" missile-type vibe just like the first one I ever got off with, including one of those flaky twist switches on the bottom. However, the addition of the soft jelly sleeve is amazing. The vibration carries through the jelly tip to tickle and press on my g-spot, and the ribs add that extra something to penetration. I love this new jelly stuff, but it takes a little more care. Thus, the Hard Throb comes with a storage bag, and a little cornstarch will keep the jelly from getting all sticky.

Sapphire Thong

OK, here we go again. This is my third attempt at a wearable, wireless, panty vibrator. And once again, it just didn't work for me. This one is both the best of them and the worst. On one hand, the vibrator is excellent - a strong three-speed bullet with pretty decent range on the remote. On the other hand, the panty construction is awful. The panty is made of vinyl and 1" wide heavy elastic. The vibe consists of four parts: the bullet, the battery pack, the receiver, and the wireless remote.

Wahl Massager

Technically, this review could fall into the "Perversions" category, but I am not the only one to have  discovered the alternate uses for this little wonder. It's as famous as my beloved Hitachi. Sold originally as a personal massager, the pervert community has turned it to the dark side. It comes with seven, different massage heads, and my friends at Wild In Secret ship it with one of the unofficial attachments intended for sexual use (the blue one in the picture on the left). It plugs into the wall with 9 feet of cord to roll around with, and it has two powerful levels of vibration to indulge in.

Pulsating Heart

The Pulsating Heart is a wearable, micro vibrator designed to be worn hands free. It's got three straps to secure it in place and a wired remote to control the settings. The tiny vibe is pretty powerful, so it penetrates the silicone "heart" well. The best thing about this one is the controller. There are seven settings: 1. Vibration I, 2. Vibration II, 3. Vibration III, 4. Pulsate, 5. Surge, 6. Escalate, and 7. Off.

Natural Contours - Liberte

The Liberte is another in the Natural Contours line of vibrators. The entire line is sleek and ergonomically designed to comfortably fit in the hand and against the body, each with a slightly different focus. This one is longer and thinner than the rest so that it can reach the g-spot. It has a button that cycles through high, medium, and low settings, and the Liberte has a bonus pulsating setting. It puts out a good range of intensity, but I'm not so sure about the pulse feature. I prefer using intermittent vibrations as a warm up, and a steady vibration to climax. The Liberte pulses with the strongest of the three settings. When I started teasing with the pulse setting and then switched to the low, steady setting to begin my climb to orgasm, it kind of lost something. So, I find myself using a pulse - high combination or a low - medium - high combination. And it feels awesome tucked inside, set on high, while my other hand is free to roam. Hey, options are good.

Layaspot

This little baby is the Layaspot vibrator by Fun Factory. It's so cute, measuring less than 4 inches long and coming in a variety of color combinations. It came snugly packaged in a nice, little box with info on two flaps held together with a magnet - a little overkill, but it adds to the perceived value. It's design is comfy in the hand and on my other curves too. It has a "+ / -" rocker switch to increase the vibration, which is a little awkward to use without looking, but those little switches have a lot of range. I understand that it's even waterproof. Hot tub, anyone? 

The best part is this baby delivers quite a bang! I could hardly believe it. It's so small, but it turns out that's an advantage. It nestles in right on my clit. Initially, I was disappointed. My first test run left me wanting. To be fair though, I thought I'd give it another shot. Boy, am I glad I did! I discovered that the batteries it came with were crap. I replaced those with fresh ones and away I went. Wow! The first orgasm was so good, I added a second toy and went around again. Remember, if at first you don't succeed, try, try again.

Astrea Vibrating Thong

OK. Here's my second attempt at a panty with a vibrator in it, and much like the first one, it just didn't work for me. It's a pretty, lacy panty - very comfy indeed. The wireless remote control for the vibrator was a huge improvement. No more fishing around inside your drawers when you've got to turn the thing off.The problem is the vibrator is kinda huge, and the pocket is slung too low. When the vibe was securely inside, it sat nowhere near my clit. So for my test run, I slid it up where it ought to be, but the lace of the panty was too soft to hold it in place. Thus the vibe rested on my lips instead and tickled me all the way home. Not bad but not enough to get me hot and bothered and definitely not enough to get me off. Seeing that everyone is shaped differently, there's a chance that it might work just fine for someone else, but not for me.

Natural Contours - Ultime

This vibrator is one of a line of toys designed to work ergonomically with the curves of the body. They all are made of smooth, hard plastic with three power levels. The Ultime is quiet and comfortable to use. The bend is intended to help you reach the g-spot but I found that it sits real well on your clit too. This one is good for sneaking under the blankets or between you and your lover while you're on top.

Cup N' Cradle

This is a very interesting toy. I can honestly say I had no idea what to expect from it. Its shape is like nothing I've ever seen before. As the name suggests, there's a cradle that rests on your clit with soft, little fingers for stimulation. The rest of it - the "cup" -  goes inside to vibrate your g-spot. It's made of that new jelly stuff, which I guessed would eat up all the vibration. The motor sits in what ends up being the handle, and the on/off is in a wired remote.

Leopard Thong with Micro Stimulator

The Leopard Thong consists of a comfy thong with a pocket on the inside to hold a small vibrator. The idea, of course, is that you wear it in public to tease yourself and perhaps your partner. Now, I've tried several wearable vibrators in the past. Usually, the problem is that the damn thing doesn't stay where you need it. This one comes the closest to success yet, but still no cigar. The thong does hold the vibrator still - I'll give it that - but not quite close enough to really get off with. OK, maybe you don't want to be cumming during your walk, but I found that the vibrator sitting where it does for the duration of my walk made me numb. Not cool! Also, when I got to where I was going, this thing was still buzzing away, and I was faced with how to turn it off without digging in my shorts too obviously (or should I say "pornographically"). I think I'll go on a hunt for the perfect alternative.  Perhaps an egg-style or small bullet-style vibrator with a wireless remote control would work way better, something quite so I don't alert passers-by that there's anything naughty going on. I will let you know when I gather the perfect set up. If you guys have any suggestions, please let me know.

The Tower

It's full name is The Tower Multi-speed Soft Jelly Vibrator. It comes in two colors. I picked up the obnoxious, neon orange one. The Tower kind of looks like an electric chess piece (the bishop, to be exact), but I figured I'd take it for a test drive since it wasn't that expensive. I got it home, washed it off, powered it up, and put it through its paces. The vibration is nice and strong, way stronger than I expected from any vibrating, jelly toy. (Color me pleasantly surprised. This new jelly material is really growing on me.) It tickled on my clit, but the real pleasure came when I slid it inside. Its tapered shape makes doing just that easy, and when it's all the way in, the vibrating mechanism is sitting in all good places. I had to add another vibe to my clit to achieve orgasm, but it felt comfortable to squeeze the jelly part when I did it. The downsides are the on/off knob seems flaky and the shape of the Tower doesn't leave much to hold onto when it is inserted. It's way too convenient to pull on the cord, which everyone knows is death to electronics. In spite of these things, I recommend the Tower for its inexpensive comfort.

 

Shane's World Mini Stimulator

When they say mini, they mean mini. This vibrator is key chain sized. Definitely something to throw in your purse for an unexpected adventure. It's maybe 3 inches long, comes in two colors, and has a twist on/off switch that seems pretty sturdy. It's quiet and waterproof too. The package claims that it "may be used at parties, clubs or in the lab!" I'm not quite sure what that means, but it sure sounds impressive. I'll admit it does pack a surprising kick. Unfortunately, though, this one wasn't the right frequency to send me to happy land. I believe that, if you're the kind that gets off relatively easily, the Mini Stimulator will do the trick.

Selene

The Selene is very interesting. It's a strange-looking purple device with a bulb and tube attached. It looks more like something a doctor would use then a sex toy, and when I pulled mine out of the box, I was rather intimidated. It's called a "Vibrating Clitoral Pump," and the basic idea is simple. You place the device over the clitoris, apply gentle suction with the pump so the clit gets engorged with blood and becomes more sensitive, and then add the vibration for stimulation.

Cyber Flicker

The Cyber Flicker is cute. It's an egg-type vibrator wrapped in this soft Cyberskin stuff. The "flicker" is some of this skin formed into a tip at the end. It wiggles when the vibe is turned on, and it tickles when you tease your nipples or clit with it. The motor is strong and it's speed is controlled by a slide switch on the remote. The only problem with this toy is that the Cyberskin gets sticky. I had to keep powder on it and not let it touch any of my other stuff. Eventually the skin gave up. I have since peeled off the dead skin (eeeew!) and have cum several times with the naked egg. It's not very expensive, so despite it's early demise I felt I got my money's worth.

Silk Touch Egg Vibe

This little guy is so cute; I just had to take it home. For all you computer users out there, the control of the Silk Touch Egg will feel right at home in your hand, similar to a small mouse. You plug the curly cord into it and "click" the button through its six settings, which vibrate and pulse at different speeds. One design flaw, in my opinion, is it really needs an on/off switch. I put mine in my toybox with the egg unplugged. The button got pressed by something, and the batteries ran out of juice. It's very disappointing to grab a toy only to find it's dead. The silky surface and the bumps on the egg feel really good everywhere I put it, and the vibration is good. It can push me over the edge but not reliably. Definitely a great warm up though.

Flex-O-Pleaser Vibrating Wand

I love my Flex-O-Pleaser. It's another version of a bullet vibrator on a stick, which I think is a great idea because it puts the vibration right where you need it. It's a long thing, which on one hand, means you don't have to do a lot of reaching, but on the other, it takes up a lot of room in your toy box. The angle made it easy to reach my g-spot and rest on my clit. The sliding switch is in a good position for thumb control, and the range from low to high is better than most so you can find just the right speed. OK that was a very cold review of one of my favorites. I've gone through half a dozen of these over the years and who knows how many times it's made me cum. It's the kind of toy that brings a smile to my face every time.

Bendables Vertebrae Vibes

The Bendable Vibe caught my eye because it looks so damn cool. It's long (8 3/4") and transparent purple, with three smooth, silver studs in it. (I have an unreasonable attraction to studs and rings and buckles and stuff like that.) It has the twist on/off switch that I'm not so fond of, but I figured what the heck. So I bought it, rushed home, and unwrapped it, anxious to see how it worked. I played with the bendies first. They don't stay as bent and I would have liked. The jelly skin has too much memory and wants to pull it straight again. The vibration is ok - not too strong, not too weak - but not enough to push me over the edge. Again, too much jelly for the vibe to get through. The dildo felt okay (a little too thin and pointy for my tastes), and the studs rubbing on my g-spot were interesting. It only lasted through a few uses before the on/off switch broke. All in all, I'd say this one is okay for some foreplay, but it's definitely not going to replace any old faithfuls.

Mini Flexo Pleaser

I have a love/hate relationship with the Flexo.  I love it because it delivers good, solid orgasms every time.  The first setting is a nice warm up, and the second really brings it all together.  I have trouble with its design though.  On one hand, the bullet shaped vibe on a stick is a great idea.  It's flexible in the middle, so it goes in easy and is more gentle on my wrist, but it can't really be directed anywhere on purpose.  It's also tough to get any pressure on the clit unless you hold the bullet part, and then the battery part flops around.  All that flopping must weaken the seal where the bullet and the flexible part meet.  I've already bought two of these over the years, and the spring inside both of them eventually got rusty.  I do like it enough though that I will be buying a third.  I guess that's a good review all by itself.

Devinn Lane's Magnetic Massager

I'm not sure what the "magnetic" business in the title is all about.  This is a narrow vibe with a nice weight that fits comfortably in the hand.  The on/off is a twist in the middle.  I got the 6" version; I hear there's a 4" version out there too.  The vibration is good and strong, and I had high hopes for its performance.  I'm not sure why but I really wanted to like it.  Alas, no luck.  It just didn't push me over the edge.  I can't really figure out why either.  Maybe my body just isn't responding to the "magnetic flow and powerful massaging vibrations".  I think the metal ball under the cover is too small, which makes the vibration too focused for me.  Maybe it just needed a second, higher speed.  We shall see.  I'm not quite done with it.  I like the way it feels on my clit, and if I do get an orgasm from it, I'll let you know.

Auto Vibe

I love this toy!!!  I have cum countless times with this one.  So much, in fact, I've busted it.  Dead.  I've just found it on the Doc Johnson web site, and you can put money on the fact that I'm ordering a replacement.  It comes with a car adaptor and a battery pack option.  It has three speeds, and when the batteries are fresh, high is off the charts.  I have trouble even using that setting until some of the juice is sucked out of those AA's.  It's made of hard plastic with soft rubber teasers on the end.  I actually prefer using it with the cover on -- the teasers feel too pokey on the high speeds.  I've had some earth-shattering orgasms with this toy, and I heartily recommend it to anyone.  It's small and compact, and the car adapter makes it a perfect addition to any toy-lover's glovebox.

I plan on adding pictures of me playing with this one as soon as my new one arrives.    

Thumper G

Well, there's no obvious reason why I shouldn't like this one, but I don't.  Right out of the package, it has a nice weight and solid construction, and the friendly colors are pleasant enough.  (I bought the Rose color instead of the Sapphire.)  It seems like it's the right shape, but it's not long enough to reach anything good on the inside.  The vibrator mechanism is not in the tip, which would be good for clit stimulation.  It's in the bend, which isn't very good for placement.  The "extreme power" wasn't strong enough for me to achieve orgasm.  Maybe all that hard plastic soaks up too much of it.  I also didn't notice any difference in the "thump" vibration compared to any others.   If you get off easily, though, it might be worth the $15.

Shane's World Rechargeable Infrared Playpal

This vibe is cool.  First off, it's rechargeable.  Using these things while plugged in always made me a bit nervous.  With this one, you plug it in for a while and then use it.  Plus, you don't have to search your drawers for anymore AA batteries.  Second it has an infrared light on the tip that you can turn on separate from the vibrator.  Now I've always thought that a light on a vibrator, considering where it goes, was silly, but the warming effect is kind of nice.  Something a little different is always appreciated.  It eats up the power faster than the two-speed vibrator alone, but that's no biggie since you can just plug it back in when you're done.  I give this one a thumbs up!

Hitachi Magic Wand

All the press on this one says that it's the bomb.  Well, add me to the list!  Right out of the package, this baby is intimidating.  A friend of mine was actually afraid of it.  I know it looks more like a shiatsu massager than a sex toy.  Think of it as camoflage.  You can leave this one on the nightstand, and no one will be offended.  In fact, it serves both functions very well.  I've actually used it on sore muscles that were created by using it to masturbate.  It measures about a foot in length, plugs right into the wall, and packs quite a punch.  The vibration is very strong, even on low.  You definitely need to tease with it before even attempting to rest the head on your clit.  BUT if done right, the orgasms it delivers are amazing.  I sometimes start teasing on top of my clothes or off to the side where the leg meets the body before sliding it slowly from the top down to  my clit.  My inevitable orgasm starts deeper inside than with the other toys and lasts longer.  I think every woman should have one of her very own.  Seriously!

Alexa's My Wicked "Nubby" Satisfier

I don't know who Alexa is, but she definitely has some idea of how to make a good vibrator.  I picked this one up because the "nubby" end was something I hadn't seen before.  The nubs are molded plastic, and I guessed they would feel especially good on my g-spot.  It has the twist-on type switch, which in my experience breaks faster than any other type of on/off switch.  Other than that, it seems well made.  I haven't killed mine yet.  The transition from low to high is smooth, and the highest setting is pretty powerful.  It's in my regular rotation now because the good, strong vibration makes me cum every time.  Hard.  And I was right, the bumps really do feel good on my g-spot.

   

Sue Johanson Royal Swirl

The Royal Swirl has an unusual yet familiar shape -- kind of like a real penis with a twist.  It's kind of heavy for its size, and the silicone is a bit sticky to the touch.  The package suggests using lubricant for "maximum pleasure."  Another twist-on/off type switch provides a smooth transition from low to high, and the vibration is good and strong.  After making this bad boy all slippery, I put it to the test.  The ridges felt good in my pussy and very good on my clit.  Unfortunately, the vibration wasn't quite enough to finish me off, so I grabbed an old reliable.  I don't think I'll be using this one on its own, but the Swirl will work just fine with a partner or in conjunction with another toy.

I took these pictures myself in the bathroom mirror.  It was really tricky trying to masturbate while holding a camera, choose a shot and keep my balance in the limited space between the mirror and the bathroom wall.  I hope you like the result.
