When I first caught sight of the package for the Sally Sea Baby Rose, the brightly decorated box and soft pink toy inside made me feel like a giddy girl on Christmas morning. Much like the dolls I would so enthusiastically tear out from their tiny boxed prisons, I soon realized this toy wasn’t as intriguing to play with as it appeared.

This perky pink baby seal is a beauty to hold and gawk at, made from fine silicone and shaped with a pointy tip that curves to a larger body. It comes with a power button and two handy speed wheels that let you choose how fast you prefer tip

The problem I had with this toy is that it is not meant to go all the way into the vaginal canal but instead the very tip rotates just beneath the surface, while the rest of the body is made seemingly to move back and forth over the clit. It’s a unique approach. The description on the package claims its textured form stimulates your most secret body parts, but I have still yet to find out what the big secret is [edit: it's the clitoris].

This toy will get you off if you work at it hard enough. It’s a different kind of vibration and all around texture and very very unique. It's not a very hard vibration so is good when you want to take your time and have a long, slow orgasm.

Because of the material, this product is a magnet for dust and other particles that will easily find its way onto the surface. It can be a bitch to clean. If you use this product, you have to be extra careful to watch what gets caught on it and compulsively clean it before and after each time, while making sure to keep close eye on where water goes as my own stopped working properly after cleaning it once – even though it claims to be waterproof – and no longer does it rotate at the tip. [edit: I suspect she had a defective unit because all other waterproof toys by this company continued to work with no issues].

I recommend this product to those with ultra sensitive vaginas who may not be able to handle the regular pressures of most average vibrators, especially to people who are new at toys and don't want that jackhammer effect but prefer a slower, softer orgasm.
