I had really high expectations for this vibrator, which probably accounted for some of my initial disappointment. The vibe is not as strong as I would have expected for the price point. However, it seems that after a couple full charges it is stronger then before. Maybe that's just my imagination, maybe it didn't charge properly the first time. Either way, it's a nice little vibrator; although I will probably continue to look for something stronger. The silicone is super soft and the separate power and pattern settings are very useful.
