I've read that finding a good remote control vibe can be difficult. I can confirm that, the Vida Urja isn't by any means "the one" - not even close. Wrapped up in it's lovely exterior is yet another disappointment. The dark anodized aluminum and the midnight silicone of this vibrator gives it a very unique look. On the surface, it would seem built with better quality materials than other remote vibes. But surface is also a good way to describe the only place this baby will operate, as well as the quality of it's vibrations. It's vibrations are weak, like tiny fast surface tremors felt on finger tip, but without enough strength to even stimulate my wife to orgasm when applied directly to her clit. My wife's multi-orgasmic for fingers and most any vibe I use on her, but not this one. Once inserted, it's barely much of a buzz, if any at all. Unless you count sound. It gives off much more audible buzz than expected when considering the weak vibrations it provides. Exactly what you don't want. All I really am looking for is a toy I can take to the mall, and use to give my wife an orgasm while she sits on a bench a few feet away from me. I'm not sure this vibe would be discreet enough to not be heard even in a loud mall, and when you combine that with it's weak buzz, it's a toy that's pretty useless. The remote feels great in the hand, but it works intermittently at best. And that's with line of sight and maybe 2 feet separating the remote and I from the vibe. it doesn't work at all thru a pair of panties, and isn't that the point of one of these toys? The presentation and packaging, the excellent look of the product save it from single star status, but also realize that looks aren't why most folks buy these things. **SITE NOTE - Vida has acknowledged the problem with this line and will be re-launching in 2012. SheVibe will not be featuring the Vida products until the new line has been released.
