Fantastic Beginner Vibrator: An In-Depth Review

Fresh-out-the-box rating: 5/5 After ~3-4 yrs of use rating: 2.5/5 (I would give it 2.5 stars if I could, but I'll be generous and give it a 3) Overall, a good beginner and first vibrator. Simple design, user-friendly, and easy to clean. Bonus, it's also easy to keep hidden too! (If that matters to y...ou. Unfortunately, it does not come with a little storage pouch.) I was surprised at how soft and smooth the material felt when I first unboxed it, but it will need some lube to make it glide easier across the skin. Personally, I did not use any. I think the intensity of the lowest setting is also a great starting point to get used to the feeling before building up to the higher settings to play around with and find what works for you. I find the second intensity to be perfect. As for the noise, I do agree with some other reviews that claim it's rattly. I think it sounds loud because you're close to it during use, but it's hardly audible from the other sides of walls/the door even on the highest setting in the dead of night (in my environment at least). I would do a noise test just to be sure. I still get paranoid that it can be heard, so I use it on the lowest setting which brings me to the downside of this toy. Due to the nature of rechargeable batteries, the battery does decline overtime. I have used this toy for about 3-4 years now with moderate use (I know "moderate" is going to be different for everyone, so let's say ~8 uses/month). Of course, when the toy is new you'll get more play time out of it on any setting compared to years of use. Unfortunately, I do not have any fresh-out-the-box stats to compare it too. When I use it now on the lowest setting, it only lasts ~5 mins before it dies, hence why I only use this setting. Charging it straight from an electrical outlet from dead to full charge takes ~10 dreadful mins for me. I also try not to leave it plugged in after it's fully charged, but Im only human so I forget to unplug it more times than I'd like to admit. I still use this toy, but it's really frustrating when it dies or when it's dead when I want to use it. All in all, it's a good first vibrator and now Im looking for my next :). I do believe this covers everything.
