What was your first impression of the item sent to you? - the look and feel of it and your assumptions of how it was going to perform?
Was quite
impressed with the cool white and blue colour. The sample on the outside of
the box enabled me to get a taste of what it was going to feel like, which
was rather alluring. It looked like it was going to perform well, and at a
practical 7" couldn't wait to test it out!
What was the item like in action?
Was somewhat impressed with the silicone
dollops which created a pleasant sensation when pressed against the skin. I
also really liked the way it could be used in the shower as its waterproof,
which meant that it could be used discreetly. I was pleasurably surprised at
the ease of using the multi-speed vibration. Unfortunately though the fact
that it doesn't have a clitoral stimulator I have to say is one draw back.
Did the item make you feel sexy?
The item succeeded in making me feel sexy
especially as my boyfriend enjoyed using it on me in the shower. I think the
fact that it is waterproof is a major plus point as using it when you are
already dripping wet adds to the feeling of sexiness.
What reaction did the item acheive - personally to you or with other parties?
My first reaction was excitement and I loved the fact that it could
be used in the shower. This was a definite turn on for my boyfriend. The
only slight negative feeling was that it was a little bit basic, in that
there wasn't anything incredibly distinctive about it.
Any other comments?
A good, basic vibrator, probably ideal for a first time
user. Great fun to use in the shower, but don't expect multiple orgasms.
Simple and fun.
How could this item be improved upon?
Would be more effective if it had a
clitoral stimulator. But definitely a must for a first time user, especially
as it can be used discreetly in the shower or bath.
Would you recomend this item to a friend?
Yes
Do you have any hot tips for useage with this item?
Definitely use it in the
shower, the water adds to the effect of the vibrator. If not make sure you
use lube or are wet so it's easier to slide inside.

Laughter, to me it did look like a comedy vibrater, the sort you'd buy to make someone laugh. The name, the appearance, the words on the back to describe it and the picture all made me laugh.
The packaging is simple, clear Perspex with a blue and white theme to match the vibrater.
The picture of the woman on the packaging to me was pointless as she looks miserable and immediately put me off. If I saw it in a shop I wouldn't have bought it unless it was specifically recommended to me.
The vibrater itself is made of white and light blue silicone 'dollops' (as phrased on the packaging.) These initially made me worried as they look like they could come off.
Words such as dollops, which although accurate only made me giggle more, and gorgeous, which is subjective, did not sell the product to me.
Try me and buy me: good idea, grossed me out a bit as you have no idea who has already touched it and whether or not they had clean hands. Luckily this 'try me and buy me' button was a separate piece of plastic with silicone dollops on it. After the initial reaction to this, I did try it and the silicone which looks spikey and uncomfortable is actually really soft and feels quite nice.
Shape looks like it would be quite good, the size looks like it would be just right, it isn't massive.
Other than multi-speed, water resistant, gorgeous pattern and soft silicone dollops there isn't any information about the product with it.
The warranty is only for 90 days and only applies to people living in some states in the USA. The warranty does not cover 'acts of god' this doesn't explain any further so if the product does break it won't be fixed if it broke due to 'God' this could obviously be a problem. A check for $9 needs to be included if you send it back and you need to pay for shipping costs.
It also says in small print that it is a novelty item, to use water soluble lubricant, and not to emerse any battery operated or electrically operated equipment in water in case of electric shock. As the packaging specifically says it is water resistant this doesn't fill me with confidence. There is a rubber seal, this however is not fixed on so when putting in the batteries make sure that it is in place if you go to use it in water.
To sum it up: my initial reaction was to laugh and then think that the actual product looked quite scary. After I got over this I began to think that out of water this product could be quite good although I wasn't 100% convinced. It didn't convince me at all about using it in water, or that the silicone dollops wouldn't fall off when I was using it.
What was the item like in action?
The easy to use twist dial meant that the multi-speeds give you the full range of vibrations. These were fantastic. The friction the dollops give was great when being used for clitoral stimulation; however these didn't help when using it as a vibrator. The roughness of the dollops meant that it was actually quite awkward to insert. It worked well in the shower, but to make it comfortable to use, lots of lubrication was needed.
I wouldn't say that i loved this product but it was ok, it didn't blow my mind and it left me quite sore for a while afterwards.
Did the item make you feel sexy?
No, although it did make me feel more adventurous. It definitely did not turn me on however it was very useful in fantasy role play.
What reaction did the item acheive - personally to you or with other parties?
Laughter on first impression swiftly followed by a 'that looks like its going to be good' comment. Most people I've asked said that the dollops worried them that it might be too rough and that they were worried they could come off.
Any other comments?
Do not buy this if you are looking for your first vibrater, it may put you off purely due to what it looks like. It does look scary and the packaging doesn't tell you much about it.
Don't buy this if you want to be quiet, the lower speed settings aren't too noisy but on the highest setting it sounds like a garden strimmer, it is so loud!!!! Whatever you do do not leave it on a hard surface it is just a ridiculously loud noise, its unbelievable. Use Lubrication!!!!
How could this item be improved upon?
The packaging, making it less tacky and giving more information, changing the picture so she looks like it's a good product (or just get rid of the picture completely.) change the seal around the battery compartment as it doesn't appear to fit properly, this puts me off from using it in water, which is what the product is designed for. Maybe making a similar version with a smooth shape would make it easier to insert. The shape of this one with the dollops on made it quite hard to insert.
Would you recomend this item to a friend?
If they were looking for something different to try or particularly like silicone items then yes. If it was their first vibrator then no.
Do you have any hot tips for useage with this item?
Use lubrication. If you're very sensitive don't start on the highest setting. Having someone else in control of it is very hot, especially as the friction caused be twisting pushing in or pulling out is up to them and you don't know what's going to happen next.

it looked quite scary to start with, i thought the spiky bits might be rather painful. they are actually a lot softer thatn they look and not at all painful. they felt really good and sort of tingly
What was the item like in action?
it has a really good strong vibration which can be altered to lots of different strengths. the screw action is easy to use. the prickles agive a good sensation, sort of like itching but not at all painful
Did the item make you feel sexy?
the item was a good all round toy. using it in the bath made me feel very sexy.
What reaction did the item acheive - personally to you or with other parties?
my partner was a bit scared of it to start with but he found, out to his pleasure that it was rather nice! used alone, it gave a wonderful feeling, the round head was a good feature, rather than the normal all the same width. i also like the fact that it can be used in water.
Any other comments?
there is not much more that i can say. this product was a good all round item. the spikes are a welcome change to the usual. the round head was also a good feature, being different from most items like these.
How could this item be improved upon?
i dont think there is much that could be done to improve this item,. it looks quite basic but has a lot of features and is a good all round toy. maybe you could try with longer spikes!
Would you recomend this item to a friend?
yes i would and already have!
Do you have any hot tips for useage with this item?
because it can be used in water, the options are unlimited, a sexy shower with your partner becomes even better!
