Vibe Therapy Serene 7 Function Silicone Twist Vibrator

Date: (17 December 2010)

Packaging: The Serene arrives in packaging that is stylish and subtle; a relief to anyone who is bored of tacky, naked lady packaging. Nothing wrong with naked ladies but the plastic fantastic look, that is favoured by some sex toy companies, can be a little wearing. The lid is magnetic and flips open to reveal the vibe itself and an instruction manual.
Build Quality: I can't stress enough what a bargain this range is since this is the highest quality medical grade silicone. As well as being one of the safest and most durable materials on the market it also makes for a soft and pliable toy. My other silicone vibes are fairly rigid but this has enough give to grind against and have some real *give*. I can see how the ridges may put some people off but they're very delicate and should provide some great stimulation for anyone who enjoys ribbed condoms and the like.
Battery Case: My first hurdle with the Serene was opening the darn thing. In my sexually frustrated state, this involved a lot of effort and swearing. Just as I resolved to knock on my college room mate's door (he opens my jam jars, would vibrators be a faux pas?) I finally cracked it. I'm not sure if all models are like this but it's enough to put me off opening the battery case for a while.
Size: Word to the wise, this is a toy for those who like a *full* feeling. In fact, I could not get this toy inside. A crying shame because other owners of the Serene have told me that the ribbed detail feels incredible.
Controls: So, so easy to use but the buttons are solid enough to resist being knocked at an inopportune moment. Click the top button to activate and the larger button will scroll through seven functions. The buttons light up intuitively depending on the function and whilst this might sound like an unnecessary frill it's a revelation when using this toy with a partner. They can use the lights to tell which function you've reached without any ramblings to your lover about clicking twice to get to the ˜rumbling- escalating,-yo-yo- like-thingie-mode.
There's a function to please everyone because they cover a range of strengths and sensations.
The first three modes are pure vibrations: low, middling and strong. The next three involve divine pulsations and the last is my absolute favourite: the escalation function. The only thing I can compare it to is passing cars, the vibrations build and descend so exquisitely.
As a clit toy, although I cannot use the Serene internally it's wonderful squidgyness allows it to be a fantastic clit toy. Not the toy I always reach for because I have smaller gadgets that are easier to hold but few things can compete with the pulsations that the Serene can provide.
Verdict: It's very difficult to find toys of this quality for such a great price tag. If you're au fait with larger pleasure objects then this is for you. Fans of the petite styles should try something slimmer.

Vibe Therapy Serene 7 Function Silicone Twist Vibrator

I have been really lucky to be able to test this toy out for sextoys.co.uk and what a pleasure it really has been to test!

First of all the delivery service from sextoys.co.uk is simply amazing, it is very fast and hugely discreet. No one will know what naughty purchases you have made, which if like me and you still live at home with parents or with others is simply a must have when buying this kind of products.

Now on to the toy, it comes in the most stylish white packaging with colourful swirls and bold classy writing, which is also not excessive in anyway, which many other toy ranges should take notice of!

Once out of its classy box and in my hands I could feel and see just how well made this toy is and of the richness in its quality. The silicone in which this toy is made of is of the highest medical grade standard. The vibe is surprisingly firm considering that when you run your hand over it feel oh so silky soft. The ridges are exactly the same; firm but so soft that they will not cause anything other then pleasure.

Now on the controls of this vibe,
They are like the rest of this toy, simple, perfect, classy and easy to use. You have two buttons, one to turn the vibe on or off and then a large button that you can change the toys many settings to. This button also lights up when the vibe is on and according to what setting you have it on, it will do different things, for instance on just vibration setting it will stay on however switch to a pulse setting and the light will flicker in time with that setting. Very handy when you find your favourite setting and know what to look for when you want to find it again!

The vibrations settings and pulses on this vibe are simply lovely; there will be a setting for everyone with this toy, from soft vibrations and pulses to extremely powerful ones. So most defiantly something from everyone with this toy, and not only does it offer such a wide range of speeds and settings it is also not an overly noisy toy either.

This is however a rather large toy, it most definitely has a very large girth, compared to my other toys but I wouldn't let this put you off if you have problems taking larger toys as this makes for an extremely lovely clitoral toy. I do also think that if you was very relaxed and used lube this would be a fabulous toy for giving you some g spot stimulation as it has a lovely shape to it and has them stimulating raised twists.

Overall this is an extremely classy luxury vibe that I highly recommend, to me it has no bad points that I can see at all and its not often you find a toy that is perfect from its packaging to its vibration to its noise level.

Simply put it makes for an excellent addition to my hugely over filled toy box and which I feel will be come one of my all time favourite and I am sure yours too.
