The Mini Turtle Vibrator is a small, battery-powered vibrator sold by TabuToys. As you can tell, the vibrating “bullet” is actually a little turtle! The turtle is made of PVC (which doesn’t have much of an odor) while the remote is see-through and made from plastic. You can easily see the batteries in the remote after you put them in. The little turtle measures about an inch and a half long and about a half-inch tall, and the remote for the turtle measures about twice of that.
The packaging for this vibrator is pretty simple. It’s a plastic, blister pack package, so you can easily see the turtle and the remote through the packaging. It’s slightly creepy that they also chose to include a small animated turtle on the packaging as well. With kinda-weird puns like “the perfect toy to bring you out of your shell”, I really just preferred taking the vibrator out of the packaging. The packaging is larger than the turtle itself, though, so it may not work for storage if you have to be conscious of space.
To be honest, I really just wanted this vibrator for the turtle. I mean, look at him! The little turtle is absolutely adorable! The little turtle was my main reason for wanting it. Sadly, the little turtle is also the vibrating bullet of this sex toy, so if you have an aversion to cute little animals being near your genitals, this sex toy may not be for you. However, if you tend to enjoy your toy looking fun and whimsical (and it makes you more comfortable than something more realistic), then the Mini Turtle Vibrator could be just right for you!
The Mini Turtle Vibrator is controlled by a remote that is wired to the turtle. This remote includes a dial on the front of the remote that allows you to easily turn on the turtle. To let you know if it’s on or not, there’s also a red light that turns on when the turtle is vibrating. This dial is very easy to use, and I actually prefer this type of dial to other control systems.
The vibrations are definitely on the softer side. They are buzzy, and they are definitely very surface orientated. The vibrations are focused in the center of the little turtle’s body, and they are best felt through the bottom side of the turtle. The vibrations are definitely below the level of “moderate”, and they probably will only be a tease for most people because of their softness. At the same time, though, the vibrations are extremely soft, and it’s hard to hear the vibrations in the same room if any sort of music or noise is going on. It’s impossible to hear outside of a closed door. As an idea of how the vibrations are, though, with a light fleece blanket on me and the air conditioner on, when the vibrator is on high, I can not hear the vibrator at all and I also can not FEEL it at all either. I have to pick it up to even know it’s vibrating.
The Mini Turtle Vibrator is intended to be used for clitoral stimulation. For obvious reasons (the poor turtle is so small and oddly shaped!), this sex toy would not work well as an internal toy. The little feet and head give a funky sensation that really isn’t worth repeating again. This means that I will be keeping this toy to external use only – and it’s shaped the best for that as well.
As a clitoral vibrator, this little guy is okay as long as you aren’t expecting fireworks. The Mini Turtle Vibrator just doesn’t have enough “oomph” behind him to really give a fantastic clitoral orgasm. The vibrator works okay for teasing and playing, but if you want anything that’s definitely going to get you to orgasm, this little guy probably isn’t it. I like the look of the toy and the adorable look of the turtle, but this is not something I will reach for regularly.
To clean this little guy, amusingly enough, this turtle doesn’t appear to be waterproof. That means you’ll want to be very careful when cleaning it, and you’ll want to be extremely thorough because the shape of the turtle leaves a lot of “hiding spots” for bacteria. As the turtle is PVC, it’s compatible with all types of lubricant, but it shouldn’t be shared with others unless you cover it with a condom first. For storage, neither the remote nor the turtle pick up dirt, so you can store this turtle wherever you’d like.
Overall, the Mini Turtle Vibrator works okay as a cute gift for someone or if you’re okay with softer vibrations. However, if you need stronger vibrations to orgasm or just don’t want to put a little turtle near your vagina, the Mini Turtle Vibrator may not be your cup of tea.
