Bellesa Pebble Review

Design

I would genuinely call the Pebble beautiful, I adore the design. It's very small and while I have complaints about the "ergonomic" shape, it gives it an organic, unique feel that a lot of toys don't have. The silicone is luxurious and soft, and holding the toy in the intended manner from the upright position is admittedly very comfortable. The Pebble looks and feels amazing. I'm just disappointed that the aesthetic didn't translate as well to the functionality.

Ease of Use

As mentioned with former complaints, the frustrations in holding the Pebble take some out of the experience. Additionally, if I was struggling with having to use both hands to position the suction toy side correctly without having mobility and grip issues in my hands/arms, I imagine this would be more difficult for someone that does. The buttons are also only slight imprints on the other side of the toy, and difficult to find through touch when trying to change speed. A good note I can give is that despite being a small pebble vibrator boasting of a decent vibration power, the vibration doesn't travel too strongly into the rest of the Bellesa Pebble while holding the other end.

Quality

It definitely feels like a solid, compact toy. The silicone is very sleek and smooth, and the metallic ABS plastic is clean and neat. The seams between the materials are tight and don't seem to pull from the edge. There's a nice little weight to holding it in your hand. It's not very loud at all; the Pebble has a noticeable buzz to it, but that can be muffled behind a closed door and a blanket. The charging case is mostly plastic, which is not exactly a luxury material, but it's sturdy and it comes with a reliable charging case in the first place, so that's lovely and doesn't bother me. The most important thing as for proof of quality to me is that on its product page, Bellesa mentions that it has a 10 year warranty like most of their other products and some amount of guaranteed reimbursement if anything happens to your toy, which I think is pretty reassuring for its lifespan and your investment.

Price

The Pebble is more than a little pricey at just under $100. Being a luxury toy brand and a multi-use product, I understand it will cost more than an average sex toy, but I feel like you could buy a different luxury suction air vibrator and traditional vibe, plus shipping, and have some money to spare for the same price of the Pebble. That cost definitely goes towards quality since I can't deny it's a well-made toy, and I really love the charging/carrying case it also comes with, but with my other complaints, this feels like a miss to me. It seems like you're paying for the brand here, and that's never a feeling I like. To be clear, I don't hate this toy and will enjoy it in the future, but I'd personally recommend spending your money on some other sex toys instead of dropping a hundred dollars on this one.

Performance

The Bellesa Pebble is marketed as best for "simple and accessible" orgasms, and I don't feel like that's true. It definitely works, though, and it's an uncomplicated toy with easy functions. The vibrations and suction are not as strong as in other toys I have, but they're not weak either. I think I definitely enjoyed the vibrating side on the Pebble more than the suction, though, since trying to finagle the latter into a proper position was sometimes uncomfortable. The good news is the battery seems well designed and doesn't get hot. The battery life is an hour and a half of play for 2 hours of charging time, which isn't bad.

Packaging

The Pebble comes in a very sturdy cardboard box sealed with a side magnet. The whole thing is covered in a cute, minimalist kind of design made of a white background and pink accents, with several pictures of the Pebble and plenty of branding. There's a short description of the toy's features on front and a summary of it on the back, and that's pretty much it there. My favorite part of the design is that once you open the magnetic cover, there's some beautiful pink architectural photography. Honestly, I wish the rest of the box looked like this instead of the minimalism, but I'm not complaining. Inside the box is plain, with just a temporary plastic insert to hold the Pebble's case and USB charger as well as the user guide. Overall, it's a sturdy, reusable cardboard box, and the effort and effect is appreciated; I will absolutely be keeping the box to store other toys, but definitely hidden, as it's not very discreet. Luckily, the Pebble comes with its own separate storage case which is discreet.

Materials and care

The Pebble is made of body-safe silicone and ABS plastic, so usual kinds of safe silicone storage and care applies: store away from sunlight, heat, and other silicone toys, use only with water-based lubricant, and enjoy how easy it is to clean. It's also waterproof which makes it even simpler, just a wash under warm water with antibacterial soap is all that's needed, but a antibacterial sex toy cleaner works just as well. One detail to note for proper cleaning is that while the toy is waterproof, the charging case is not, so the toy should be thoroughly dried before storage. I will say a small complaint that I have is that I couldn't find out what materials it used from its product page and had to check my user guide after I already owned it. Retailers should be transparent with materials for the sake of customers, and while I don't believe most people would have a problem with the silicone or ABS plastic, if the toy were not made out of either of these, it would be hard to know for people with allergies to certain materials that they were buying a body-safe toy.
