Pure Strawberry Vibe

Date: (20 December 2011)

I'll always remember the pure strawberry vibe as being one of my first experiences with silicone as a sex toy material.

Initially drawn to its bright and cheerful, beginner friendly appearance, I was impressed on its arrival.
The outer material of the vibrator is soft to run the fingers along and is scent free, back then having only owned jelly type toys previously It was a nice discovery to find out that not all toys have the problems of chemical smell and dust attraction.

Underneath the outer layer of silicone is solid plastic, fantastic for carrying vibrations.

Design

Measuring 9 inches in total and 1.5 inches in diameter it is has a generous amount of length for insertion (around seven inches) and an adequate handle which features an ergonomically designed scroll control instead of the usual twist dial you get with multi-speed vibrators.The scroll control is placed on the side of the base rather than the underneath which for me made control easier most of the time but did in some instances lead to an accidental turn at the wrong moment.
Powered by two AA batteries,it boasts a decent level of power.

The strawberry vibe is waterproof and claims to be both bath and shower safe.I've never been one to test/risk how submergible toys are or are not but I can certainly vouch for this toy being shower safe at least, It takes several twists to screw/unscrew the base which features a rubber ring to help keep a waterproof seal.

With a taper in the middle and a head that is almost bulb shaped but again tapered at the end, it is easy to insert despite its size.Having an outer layer of silicone I recommend that a water based lube is used with it, Never use a silicone based lubricant on a silicone toy!
The inlayed white 'teardrops' along the shaft make for added stimulation.

Experience

I found that because of the shape of this toy that I could only ever insert it up to the point of the narrowing or taper in the middle meaning that half of the length of it couldn't be enjoyed.
If you are a big fan of length this may put you off.
One more small problem I found with the design was with its pointed end,I found it to be uncomfortable inside me as under the silicone layer this is a very solid toy.For gentle thrusts it wasn't so much a problem but when I would start to get at all carried away I would be promptly reminded of that hard pointed tip.
With the discomfort I experienced with insertion of this toy I eventually opted to only use it as a clitoral toy and as such it worked wonderfully.

Pro's: Silicone material, pleasant and unusual looking design, vibrations carry nicely.

Cons: Pointed end and tapered shape can be uncomfortable.

I love this vibe. Controls are easy to use yourself or your partner, the simple 'slide' action makes it easy to respond to desires. I like how hard the material is, rather unforgiving - but sometimes that's just what I want.

I broke my last vibrator which i loved because it was very powerful, so i replaced it with this one. It's not as powerful as my old one but still did it's job. It looks great and was much bigger than i was expecting. The material isnt as soft as i thought it would be but it was smooth enough.

Overall it is great for the price.

The material wasn't quite as soft as I was expecting, but it felt better than hard plastic. A nice size and shape. Well made, and no nasty smells. Quite powerful, a bit noisy but not too bad. Overall, pretty good.
