Using the Toy

Design

Overall, I give this toy a 90 in design. The only reason I cannot give it a full 100 is because of the remote control being such poor quality. The toy is designed well, with the power button being buried inside the base rather than on the surface to reduce the chance that you might turn it off or change the setting accidentally during use. This is a brilliant placement that helps to reduce disappointing mishaps in the throes of passion or pleasure and certainly helps to redeem itself from the remote which barely worked.

Ease of Use

The toy itself is easy to use. You throw some lube on it, put it where you want it and press the buttons until you find the pattern and strength of vibration you want to fly off into orbit with. But the main problem with that is this...you have to be able to press the buttons to get it where you want it. Either for yourself, or your partner. Imagine this scenario: your person is sitting in the movie theater, the movie is about to get started and all you can think to yourself is "they look way too comfortable". You discreetly pull the remote out, and you are about to change their perspective on the situation with the click of a button, and then...nothing. You look for the surprised look on their face for confirmation that the toy is doing what it's supposed to do, and your partner just blinks at you like "what are you looking at". That's the kind of disappointment you can expect with this remote control.

Quality

The toy itself is a fantastic design. The base is long enough that you don't have to worry about it falling out of you, and the silicone is a sleek and soft cover on the toy. You can feel the quality just by holding it, and the vibrations are strong and rumbly, or light and buzzy depending on your preference. The toy itself is very well made. Again, I have to harp on the remote here. Overall, the toy functions well, so long as you can manually activate it. But the remote is barely usable. My wife was sitting next to me in bed, and could not get it to work unless she was aiming the thing at my butt from less than a foot away. And you have my full permission to laugh at that image.

Price

I think whether or not this toy is worth the money is completely dependent on how you intend to use it most. If your intention is to use this toy in public, you might want to look elsewhere. The toy itself is quiet enough I think to use in a public place with a healthy amount of ambient noise. But the remote makes public play tricky, and overall will likely leave you disappointed. If your intention however is to use the toy in the privacy of your home either solo, or with other people, it is definitely worth the price tag. The toy is powerful and a lot of fun to use with enough modes and intensities to keep you satisfied. But again, bear in mind what you intend to use this toy for before making your purchase.

Performance

The toy performed very well when adjusted manually. The downside was the remote is the only part capable of adjusting the intensity of the vibrations, and with it not working as well as it should have, those that prefer lighter buzzier vibrations might be disappointed. But again, the toy makes up for this by being incredibly powerful, and honestly not all that loud. I would say you could probably use this toy in a public place such as a cafe or movie theater pretty comfortably, so long as there is some minimum background noise. Ofcourse, if everything goes completely quiet someone might hear you, but that is the risk you take having fun in public I guess. I used this toy for about an hour straight after charging it, and it never slowed down on me. From the time I turned it on to the time I pulled it out, it was buzzing away. It never once fell out of me either.

Packaging

The packaging that the toy itself is in is nice to look at. It's silvery and dark blue and has the relevant info listed on it for easy reading. The entire package came in a brown box with no descriptions or anything on it, so your neighbors won't have a clue that you could be standing across the hall from them with a plug up your butt. So, A+ there. Too many shippers claim discreet packaging only to be not discreet at all. Thankfully this was not the case, though this could have more to do with the vendor than the toy itself.

Materials and care

The silicone seems very high quality, and as long as you clean it and take care of it as you would any silicone toy, your toy should perform for you for a good long while. Just make sure you do not use silicone lubricants as this can increase friction and cause the toy to rip or tear. Additionally, get a good toy cleaner to sanitize the toy. A gentle toy cleaner would do, personally I use #toylife All Purpose misting cleaner. It's very easy to use, and gentle on toys while also giving you the cleaning your toys need to remain safe for you. Additionally, the toy itself is waterproof; however the remote is not. So be careful which parts of the toy are getting wet if a pool party is in your future! Additionally, the toy does not come with any kind of container, so you'll want to get a good quality toy box to hide your toy in when not in use.
