Shivers and the interchangeable caps

Shivers is the cutest vibrator that I have ever seen, that is why I felt that I needed him for my collection. He is the perfect little polar bear for this Winter season, and I am so thankful to Good Vibrations for allowing me to review it. Shivers is made of White ABS plastic and metal if you count the pieces in the battery compartment. The entire vibrator is about 5 3/4 inches long, and about 1 inch in diameter. The toy runs on one AA battery and is waterproof so you can take Shivers into the shower with you as well. Shivers comes with 4 interchangeable caps you can put on the end of the toy for different stimulation textures. One of the caps is completely smooth, another has a dull spiky texture, another has raised numbs similar to that of a lego, and the last has a bunch of raised dots like braille all over it.

Shivers works well as an external vibrator or a body massager. I wouldn’t use this toy for internal stimulation because it has separate little caps that you can change on the end of the vibrator. I wouldn’t want a cap to come off somehow inside of me. The vibrator works great for nipple stimulation – I liked feeling all of the textures against my nipples. I admit I felt a little bad for putting such a cute vibrator on my nether regions – but it definitely felt good. I wouldn’t use any of the rough tips on anyone’s genital regions because they are a bit uncomfortable. So, unless they like having more of a rough stimulation – they will probably be used just for other parts of the body. I actually loved using Shivers as a body massager more than anything. It felt great putting the Shivers side of the vibrator on my neck or shoulders or having my partner use it on my back.

I feel that Shivers is mostly a novelty toy, so it’s great for collectors or someone looking for their “first” sex toy. The main reason I wanted Shivers was because he is just so darn cute and I love polar bears. It was completely because I wanted to have him for my collection, not because I was looking for some super vibrator to end the use of all other vibrators. For me, it worked great as a warm up vibrator for me and as a fun warm up toy when my partner and I play together but that is it. It really wasn’t strong enough to get me off or anything. It also makes a great gag gift or something to give to some one for their Bachelorette party.

For such a cute novelty toy, I actually feel that the toy is made very well. The plastic is smooth and looks hard and thick. So it doesn’t look as if it it would break or fall apart real easily. The textures do add extra stimulation, to me the spiky and braille like textures tickled quite a bit in a good way – especially on my nipples. Like I mentioned earlier, I feel like Shivers would be a great “first” sex toy for someone. It’s a pocket rocket style vibrator, so it is easy to put together and use. You can experiment with use by stimulating yourself with the tip or using the body part of toy. It’s also waterproof, so you can also take it into the shower with you for experimentation as well. I feel that it’s great for someone looking to experiment with and see what they enjoy. The toy is definitely a bit more discreet, but I feel the end of the toy kind of gives it away – but only if the person that sees it knows what they are looking at. The toy isn’t huge, so you could easily pack it into your suitcase for travel. I could see myself taking this cute little toy with me when I travel.

To insert the battery into the toy, you must twist the bottom to “open” and then pull it off. You insert the battery and you fit the bottom back onto the toy and twist it to “off” to tighten the end back on. To turn the vibrator on, you just twist the vibrator to “on” and it turns on, twist it to “off” to turn it back off. For me, the controls are straight forward and every easy to use. Though I admit, if you are using the toy along with an internal toy (such as a dildo) and you have lube on your hands – it is hard to twist the toy on or off. I felt that it was a loud toy though, when I used it – I was a little worried that my room mate could hear it through the door of my bedroom. I did not submerge Shivers in water but I did take him in the shower with me to test it. It fared very well and I didn’t notice any issues after I took it out and dried it off.

The toy is easy to clean, I usually use mild soap and warm water to clean my plastic toys. Though be very careful not to get water into the battery compartment while cleaning. I store my Shivers in a lockable toy chest with my other toys, but you could store it in the packaging if needed. Though the packaging is thin plastic, so I would be careful not to pile stuff on top of it.

All in all, I’m happy with this toy – it may not be one of my “go to” toys but it’s fun to use when getting or giving massages or as a warm up vibrator for sex. I am happy to have it in my collection. I also love the thought and design put into the Bzzz Buddies line of toys. If you look at the back of the box, there are actually images of other Bzzz Buddies toys you can buy. One of them looks like Squirtle from the PokeMon series, it’s so cute. They even put a little story about Shivers on the back of the box as well, about how he gets cold and makes friends with Chilly the Penguin.
