So I settled on this little gem. Its material is ABS plastic, but this is before I was spoiled by the likes of silicone, so that was ok. The tip was nice for putting pressure on my clitoris, and I cannot stress enough the fact that this should really be an external vibrator. Early on, I attempted insertion, but there's no curve to it so it was quite painful. It does the job, though. It's not huge, at 4 1/2 " X 1", but it doesn't need to be. The battery compartment is located at the bottom, and you twist the cap off to pop in the two AAs that it requires. The cap is very tight, sometimes hard to screw back on even, but this is a waterproof toy. The batteries make it last quite awhile, I got at least about three or four hours out of it before I had to get new ones.
It has a dial that controls the vibration intensity, and the lowest setting doesn't do much but I worked my way up from the lowest until the highest was necessary to make me orgasm. This is a very solid toy, it can bring me to orgasm in under two minutes on the highest setting, but if you're in earshot of other people, I'd recommend using it with some white noise or a fan on in the background, for two reasons:
1. My first vibrator experience brought waves of pleasure that I didn't realize would cause me to gasp as loud as I did. It was just surprising how much pleasure it could bring!
2. This sucker is LOUD. The reviews on Good Vibrations gave it a 4/4 for the noise level, and damn, they weren't kidding! And the more I pressed it against my clit, the louder it got. It sounded like a band saw! (Thankfully it didn't feel like one)
PROS: I feel like I got more than my money's worth from this toy. It's been a few months, and still going strong! The battery life is great, the vibrations are pretty strong, and there's a range of levels that you're in control of with the dial. Plus, it's waterproof!
CONS: It is quite loud, and you really shouldn't insert it, because it will be painful, even with enough lube. It's sometimes hard for it to find my clit, since it has a rounded tip instead of a pointed one
The Verdict: Overall, this was a really solid toy and I'd absolutely recommend it to first-timers looking for some external stimulation.
