Product Rating: 5 Stars - So good I can't wait to use it again! | Power Rating: Strong - Got me there without a problem. | Noise Rating: Noisy - Emits an obvious buzz. | Texture and material construction: The handle of the Inspire is extremely smooth, but it's still easy to hold onto. As long as you avoid getting this near water, you should have no problem having this toy for a long time. | Review Details: The Couture Collection Inspire is a strong, wand massager that certainly puts out enough strength for most women (and men!) to really enjoy it. It's definitely stronger than your average vibrator, and the smooth, plastic body makes it really easy to hold onto. However, don't be fooled by the picture - this vibrator DOES need to be plugged in, in order to work; it doesn't work unless it is plugged in. It is, however, much more compact in size than the Hitachi and other wand massagers, so if size is an issue, this one works really well and doesn't lose much of the power (compared to the larger massagers). It is, however, a bit loud, but at the same time, the vibrations are really rumbly, deep, and pleasurable. This is certainly a good wand massager vibrator, and I really enjoy using it!
