My eyes lit up when I saw the picture, I instantly wanted to get inside the box and see what was in the drawers. The packaging is life a set of drawers, if you lift the lid you can see the Flores through a clear plastic cover, the one I received was green. The actual toy is battery operated, this is accessed at the by turning the white part of the toy and the controls are on here, it has a hooked area to slot in your fingers to hold the toy, a rippled bulbous g-spot shaped head and a smaller bulbous clitoral stimulator. The toy is accessible from the top drawer. The lower drawer contains the close to you booklet that shows the other available products, a lovely velvety purple bag to keep the toy in when not in use, a penis ring, a sex toy cleaning wipe, a 7.5ml tube of lubricant which is suitable for use with latex products and the all important AAA batteries that enable immediate use. The presentation of this is amazing and it would definitely be suitable as a gift for a loved one. I guessed, no I knew I was going to enjoy play time with this.

What was the item like in action?
The packaging didn't offer any promises, although it does feature a picture of a couple so shows the closeness as detailed in the name, but my first use was alone.
This is a battery operated but really quiet sex toy, it has 8 different vibration options, once you have switched it on it doesn't have the 'off' mode that a number of toys have but just cycles to the next vibration, this is an extreme positive. This is done by pressing on the treble clef on the handle. It feels soft, and not plastic, but a warm feeling latex material, nice to use. This item was a definite blast, all the cycles were played through until I found the one that worked best for me, and due to the quietness of the toy I was able to play discreetly.

Did the item make you feel sexy?
The toy definitely put me in the mood and when I told my partner about it, he couldn't wait to come over and put it through a second test, I still felt sexy playing with it with him and he didn't feel that it overshadowed his play. He was happy to involve it in our session and used it to warm me up. It didn't increase my confidence because I was already in a sexy mood, but it did mean that my partner had free hands for other play, and could use his mouth elsewhere knowing I was clitorally and vaginally stimulated.

What reaction did the item achieve - personally to you or with other parties?
My partner liked it, he has taken it to his house so we can play with it there. I have showed it to a friend who likes the quietness of it. They thought it was wierd shaped, but they are quite shy, once explained they think they may try something similar.

Any other comments?
I loved the shape, feel, sound of this item and it will definitely feature in my play regularly. It opened the avenue in that this is the first toy my partner has stolen, and means I can always have fun when staying at his house too.

How could this item be improved?
My only concern is the base where the batteries are. It didn't come open while playing but it is only a slight turn to open it, so could very easily be disturbed during play.

The packaging really does this product justice, it signifies that 'Close to you' products are very good quality.

Would you recommend this item to a friend?
Yes

Do you have any hot tips for usage with this item?
This can definitely be left on your bedside cabinet and people wouldn't know if they saw the drawers, they would know if they saw the top of the box. Try it with and without the lube, the different sensations from the different vibrations and the different feel of it all assist with bringing you to that point.

What rating would you give this item out of 5?
4

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?
I thought it look exciting and was eager to try it, but ,to be honst did not like the green colour, but I guess that is just a personal preference. I thought it look a very good quality product , very well presented in its own box with compartment for additional items, including a pouch to store it in. I think it would be a very suitable to give the special lady in your life as a gift or suprise.
I was hoping we would use this and both myself and hubby would get pleasure from it as we like toys to enhance pleasure for both of us not just one of us.

What was the item like in action?
Initially it was not obvious which way the batteries went but soon worked it out
The toy was very easy to understand and control with just 2 buttons, 1 for off and on and the other for various options. I really liked all the varying options, the pulse effect being new to me. Did not hav any difficulties using this product at all.

Did the item make you feel sexy?
It definatley put us both in the mood, the Flores is a very errotic looking toy, soft to the touch and warm. Although mainly geared toward women, my hubby also enjoyed the senastions of the flores and the clitoral stimulater was very flexible enabling you to use and move with ease.
It is quite bulbous at the front and may not suit some women but with the provided lube it was fine. I also enjoyed the ribbed section,it added another dimension to the feel of it,

What reaction did the item achieve - personally to you or with other parties?
I always keep my toys specific between me and hubby, but we enjyed this. I had sent hubby a text to say it arrived and he replied hoping we wee in for a great night, although we never made it till bedtime! Too exciting to wait

Any other comments?
I loved the soft flexibility but very good quality of this toy. To say it was quite expensive I would have thought the batteries provided could have been of better quality, they did not last longer than the first time of use, I would advise putting your own in before using. This first time we used it was excellant, as we just went with the flow and went through the various options randomly. It was good to go from pulse to vibrate etc ,then back to pulse. Not knowing what was coming next, so to speak, was exciting . The more we used and got used to the sequence the more we new what was coming but it is very easy to move to the one you want. Without the clitoral stimulation I doubt I would have reached orgasm, as although the various options gave lots of sensation and pleasure I did need the stimulation to reach my goal

How could this item be improved?
Did not feel the Flores had any major faults, it only had a slight aroma, nothing to put you off but perhaps a little large ( and bright) to take away for weekend breaks etc, maybe they will make a mini Flores, fingers crossed !

Would you recommend this item to a friend?
Yes, but make sure you have decent batteries!

Do you have any hot tips for usage with this item?
I used it on hubby, who loved the pulse sensations, but there ae better toys suited to use as a couple.
