Lil Teaser Pixie Review

The Lil Teasers line from California Exotics are seriously some of the cutest little vibrators I have ever seen. The Pixie, of course, is no exception- it comes in a small, clear box adorned with leaves and vines, showing the toy itself through the box rather than a picture.

The toy is a soft purple color, with a darker purple ring at the bottom, and the insertable/usable part is all silicone. It's firm, but has a little bit of give to it at the tip, making it not as harsh on your bits as a harder material. The Pixie takes one N size battery, which is included, and more can be found cheaply on the net if your local stores are charging an arm and a leg.

Now, when it comes to actually using the Pixie, that's where I get a bit confused. The Pixie has a design that looks like it's made for insertion, but its really rather little at the same time- and I have vibrators that are intended for clitoral usage that're the same size or bigger than it. I suppose in the end it is best to treat the Pixie as somewhat of a dual usage toy- though insertion would not be my favorite option for it.

One of the reasons why is because the Pixie has no real control system- if you twist the cap on all the way, its on. If you twist it off a bit, its off. This irks me because it means that although, sure, its waterproof while its on... when you undo the cap to turn it off, its obviously not going to be waterproof anymore.
Beyond that, when it comes to insertion for me.. its simply a bit too small. Now, don't get me wrong, its nice- but its not filling or stretching by any means. Its about the size of a wide finger, I'd say, and it does have a nub on the end that allows it to hit your g-spot, but for me that just isn't enough in my toying sessions. I love it for a warm up, but I need something else to drive the point home most of the time.

Where this excels, in my opinion, is for clitoral stim. It only has one speed of vibration, which is actually pretty strong, and pretty quiet, a medium-high pitch- maybe a hair louder than the average cell phone's vibrate- but the smooth, matte texture of the toy is what makes it a hit for the clit. It has a bit of 'grab' against your skin, and it creates some lovely friction, and due to the firmness is definitely able to create pressure as well. The little ring makes it easy to hold onto and easy to replicate manual stimulation, with a little extra buzz, without getting lube all over your hands as well as the toy. Since this has a nub on the end and a ridge around it rubbing it across your clit will feel awesome, if you've got some lube for it, and for me that coupled with the vibes is what put me over the edge.

Speaking of lube- Please only use water based lube with this toy. Its made out of silicone, so its best to play it safe, and never ever use silicone lube with it- unless you want to permanently damage the toy. For cleaning, its best to take the battery out, tighten the cap all the way so its waterproof, and then just use soap and water, toy cleaner, or you could even wipe the silicone part with a 10% bleach solution as long as you rinsed it well afterwards.

All in all this toy is a bit of a mixed bag for me- I love it clitorally, but insertion-wise it doesn't do much for me. Its cute, its not threatening at all, and I think for someone who is looking for something smaller- be it because they're new to insertion, or they want a more portable or easy to hide toy- whatever reason, it would be perfect. The big downside for me, really, is that you can't use it anally- the base just isn't enough to prevent it from slipping in, and that makes me a bit sad because if that were possible, it'd open up a whole new realm of usefulness for the toy.

So, if you fit any of those categories, keep your eyes open for the new Lil Teasers at your favorite sex toy store- no matter what interests you about the toy, the quality of it is great and you wont regret trying it out.
