Welcome back!

I was incredibly excited to try out My First Butterfly Vibe. After recording Bedroom Radio #18, I knew we needed to get a hold of a remote control vibrator and this one seemed to be promising. Sadly, this is probably one of the most disappointing toys I have ever tried.

Jay, Ian, and I were taking a break from a pretty intense play session and were putting on our clothes to head out to get a bite to eat. One of the boys suggested that I try the new toy and wear it to the restaurant. So, I slipped it on. The first problem was that slipping it on was not particularly straightforward. There are two elastic loops and some snaps that don’t seem to attach to each other. Nonetheless, I figured out a way to get it to stay in place and slid the shaft into my pussy.

I immediately noticed that it didn’t seem to line up in an effective way. Just as I was putting this thought together, one of the boys turned on the remote. I was much more startled by the noise than by the sensations. This vibrator is really loud but also really weak. It is almost as loud as some massagers that plug into the wall. The noise was almost deafening and there was no way that squeezing my legs together and slipping on a pair of jeans was going to muffle it.

Frustrated, I flung myself on the bed and tried to focus on the minuscule vibrations. Jay and Ian were cracking up watching me wiggle awkwardly and try to position the butterfly. They were also walking through the house trying to figure out how many rooms away they could hear it from. This is when we discovered another flaw, the range on the remote is probably about 8 feet instead of 15-20 as the box advertises. Additionally, the remote seems to work by sending a constant on signal so when the toy is switched on and the remote moves out of range, the toy starts to cut out.

Unfortunately, this toy doesn’t do anything right. Most of the time when I’m not crazy about a toy, I can still imagine it working out for someone else. In the case of My First Butterfly Vibe, I can’t imagine anyone experiencing success with it. I’m sure there are better remote-controlled vibrators on the market and my quest to find one will continue!

Edit: I just got a great tip from Heather at VibeReview that a good alternative may be the Hypersonic Bunny. This one isn’t remote controlled but it does look like a great hands-free option!
