Being Evolved is a good thing!
Tuesday, February 16th, 2010The awesome folks at Tabutoys.com gave me the opportunity to try out the Evolved Slender Marvel for you guys.
This cool toy came in an extremely attractive tin, something Evolved is known for. They can be used to store the toy if you like, or you can remove the inserts and keep all kinds of stuff in ‘em…this one is gonna be used for condoms and lube packets so I don’t have to dig around for ‘em in the heat of the moment.
It’s made of TPE, which is a phthalate-free material. It stands for ThermoPlastic Elastomer, and it’s a happy, body-safe thing. It’s porous, mind you, unlike silicone. This isn’t gonna be a sharing kind of toy unless you slap a condom on it. In other words, not sterilizable; don’t boil it, dishwasher it, or bleach it.
I like the Marvel for a number of reasons, actually. First, it’s extremely attractive. I love the purple color (not lavender; a real purple), and I love the soft curves that make up the design.
I’m pleased with the fact that they didn’t try to make the clitoral stimulator into the shape of some animal or another as the rabbit-style vibes are wont to do. It’s a simple design, and I dig that.
Next, it’s waterproof! Yay! Waterproof toys are a wonder. Shower, bath, pool, squirting, whatever, it’s all good (actually, as to the pool thing: not sure about pool chemicals and elastomer. Anybody?).
And finally, the vibrator part of the toy. It’s got three vibration speeds, all controlled by a push-button on the base of the toy. Your hand’s likely to be right there anyway, so it makes it seriously easy to deal with; no turning, twisting or sliding, just click and go.
The vibrations range from subtle and mild to pretty impressive. The cool part is, there’s an egg in the clitoral stimulator part of it and an egg in the shaft. Instead of the egg in the shaft being all the way at the base, it’s at the very tip, so the sensation is very spread out.
Pardon the dust! It's TPE. 
This is a great toy for thrusting because of the slender smooth shaft. It’s not huge, which works quite well for me. The internal vibrations are actually really pleasant, and I normally am not a huge fan of internal vibes. When I’m done playing and it’s come down to business, slipping this toy in fully so the thumb-shaped stimulator is nestled lovingly against my clit is the key. Once it’s pressed in as far as it will go, gently rotating it just a touch will absolutely do the trick and get me off in no time.
Cleanup is quick and easy with some sort of antibacterial cloth, soap, or toy cleaner; be aware that TPE, like silicone, will collect dust, so store it accordingly.
The only thing I think I’d change is actually something I wouldn’t change. I know that sounds strange, so let me explain my contradictory self. The two vibrating eggs are controlled by the same controller, and they vibrate at the same rate. My clit can handle far stronger vibrations than my pussy can, so it’d be nice if the two eggs could be controlled separately…
The problem with that idea is that it would kill one of my favorite pluses about this product: The simplicity of design. The one-button quick-clicking control is great! When you add a second control, the design would be less streamlined and less pleasant. Basically, while it would be nice to have two different possibilities for speeds, it’s not worth risking the loss of the current design.
So yeah. Definitely recommended. Thanks, Tabutoys!
