Use

The Pearl Passion Tempt is a great small, soft, and flexible vibe. Its vibrations are great for stimulating nipples or the clitoris, as well as the g-spot. While not designed like a typical g-spot vibrator, the head flexes, making it easy to reach the g-spot. I think it would be great for someone who has never used a vibrator before. It has vibrations that are strong enough for orgasms, but not too strong. It can easily be used solo or by a couple looking for a bit of spice in the bedroom. It's quiet enough that it can't be heard through a door. In fact, it's not much louder than my cellphone vibrations, even when turned on high.

Material / Texture

The Pearl Passion Tempt is made from TPR which makes it quite soft, but it also attracts a bit of lint. TPR is slightly porous, so condoms are recommended if sharing this toy. The color is purple, and has a bit of a pearl-like quality to it, which I suppose gives it its name. The handle with the button on it is removable to put the batteries in, and it is made from plastic. While the packaging touts that it is unscented, I experienced something different when I opened it. It does have a bit of a rubber scent to it when you hold it close to your face. Once it has been washed, that scent does fade, but it's still there a bit. I do find the material to be a bit sticky, so without any lube, it doesn't slide easily across the skin.

Design / Shape / Size

The design of the Pearl Passion Tempt is quite nice. It's not too large, at 6 inches in length, with 4-1/2 inches of it insertable. It has 1-1/8 inches diameter, and 3-1/2 inches of circumference. The shaft has large ridges around it, which are nice to feel when thrusting. The part of the shaft that flexes is above the ridges. This size is perfect for the beginner, and is easy to stick in your purse and take it with you.

Functions / Performance / Controls

The Pearl Passion Tempt has two settings. There's a button on the side of the removable battery cover that rotates between the two settings and off. The vibrations are located in the head, which makes this even more ideal for g-spot stimulation. With the flexible head, it's easy to get the vibrations exactly where you want them. The only complaint I have about the control button is that if you touch it to change settings, it stops for a moment. This is an easy thing to do if you're not careful. It is very quiet, only slightly louder than my cellphone's vibrate setting, even on the high setting. It is waterproof, and works great in the tub or shower.

Care and Maintenance

TPR is a material that is very easy to care for. All you need to clean it is water and soap, or your favorite toy cleaner. It is compatible with both water and silicone based lubricants. It's easy to store it, as the material has no compatibility issues with other toy materials. It takes one AA battery, which is incredibly simple to change.

Packaging

The Pearl Passion Tempt comes in standard Cal Exotics packaging. It can be used for storage if you want, but I prefer to keep my toys in something a bit more attractive. It comes with instructions for inserting the battery, although it's not really necessary. The packaging is minimal, just enough to deliver it to you, and give a bit of information.

L'Amour Tryst 3: My new love!

Use

The tryst 3 is wonderful for most everyone. It's perfect for a beginner, but with enough variety for experienced users. It can be used to stimulate all areas of the body, as well as being perfect for clitoral and vaginal stimulation. I would not recommend it for internal anal play, as it has no flare to the end, and it would be terrible to lose this baby. It's great for either solo or partner play. As it's made from pure silicone, aside from the battery cap which is made from plastic, it can be safely shared between partners. It's also quiet enough that you needn't worry about disturbing anyone in the next room. It's quieter than my cellphone's vibration setting.

Material / Texture

The majority of this toy is premium silicone. The only part that is not silicone is the battery cover, which is made of plastic. The shaft is quite flexible, making it easy to maneuver in different ways. The surface is lightly ribbed from about halfway down the shaft, with a slightly bulbous head. To be honest, I couldn't feel the texture very much, as the ribs are not very prominent. There's a slight seam going around the length of the shaft, but it can't be felt at all.

It has no real scent, aside from a vague rubber smell when you put it right under your nose. There's no real taste to this material, either. The silicone is non-porous, making it ideal for use with a partner. It does tend to gather lint, so I would recommend storing it in a pouch of some sort, as well as rinsing it in water before each use to get rid of any lint.

Design / Shape / Size

This toy is definitely a perfect size for beginners. It's 7 inches in length, 5-1/4 of which is insertable. It measures 4-3/4 inches circumference, and 1-1/2 inches diameter, so it's not too much to handle in terms of girth. The flexibility of this toy makes it easy to adjust it to hit exactly where you want it, whether it's to hit your g-spot, or simply clitoral stimulation. This toy could easily be taken and hidden in a suitcase for travel purpose, but I'd put it in a pouch of some sort unless you'd like TSA to know what you're carrying.

Functions / Performance / Controls

The controls on the tryst 3 are very easy to use. There are two buttons on the bottom of the shaft. The top button is the on/off button. Once this is on, the two buttons are back-lit, making them easy to see in the dark. The bottom button activates the vibrations, and rotates between the seven different settings.

1. low vibrations
2. medium vibrations
3. intense vibrations
4. escalating vibrations
5. pulsating vibrations
6. faster pulsations
7. short-short-short-long pulsations

Once it's rotated through all 7, it goes back to the start again, rather than turning off. To turn it off, simply hit the top on/off button again. I found it to be quiet enough when vibrating that it can't really be heard through covers or a bedroom door. It's also wonderful for use in the bath or shower. I was a bit concerned about this, since the battery cover doesn't look like it has any sort of protection, but it performed great.

Care and Maintenance

Silicone is a wonderfully easy material to care for. It can be cleaned easily using soap and warm water, or a 10% bleach solution. It can also be put in the dishwasher, as long as you make sure that the battery cap is on tightly.

It uses two AAA batteries, which fit into a neat compartment in the bottom. The only complaint I have about the battery compartment is that it can be difficult to open and close, which I suppose is why it's waterproof, even without an o-ring. It does make for a bit of a hassle when needing to change the batteries, however.

Since this toy is made of silicone, it is not compatible with silicone-based lubes, and should also not be stored with other silicone toys.

Packaging

The packaging is basic Cal Exotics packaging, simple and functional. There isn't too much in the way of information on the packaging, simply the basics. It can be used to store the toy, although I tend to prefer more attractive pouches for storage of my toys.
