Okay, okay, maybe I didn't use it that often but it's become one of my go-to toys. I hadn't used a vibrator in a long, long while - in fact, it had gotten to a point many years ago where vibes could no longer get myself off because I'd burned myself out on them, and I still thought that was the case. I kinda got this one on a whim since one of my most-frequented sex-shops was having a sale on it, and when it came in I was skeptical at best.
Then I turned it on. I knew going in that this thing would be loud, and it didn't surprise me there, but I didn't expect the power-level of it to match up with the noise and that, my friends, is a really good thing when it comes to this vibe. That got me all excited to use it so I jumped right in and lemme tell you now, Capricorn isn't a disappointment, not even by a long shot. I tried using it as a clit-vibe at first, just to see if it would work out and while it transmitted the vibrations decently, I feel it's better-suited as what it was made for; a penetrative toy. The first try-out was really, really good as my orgasms go - butt-clenching spine-arching goodness would be a great way to describe it. The sessions in the following weeks showed that it wasn't first-time-trying-it luck, too; just about every time I use this thing, I have some very satisfying orgasms and I'm going to show you guys why;
This ridge right here. This ridge has been the key to unlock the subtle g-spot stimulation I need to have those really good orgasms that make me fall asleep right afterwards. It's raised up enough that when I'm using this vibe to thrust, it rubs right over it, pushing and pulling and sliding in just the right ways. What it doesn't do is aggravate the area or cause me to cramp up which is a practical godsend for me in the world of sex-toy shopping. It makes up for the lack of girth perfectly, especially since it's become my go-to toy for when I don't want to hassle with something bigger.
Which brings us to measurements!
The Capricorn's texture is silky and semi-smooth; un-lubed, it's got a fair amount of drag and even with lubricants it's still got a decent amount of friction to it. You can squish it a little bit when gripping onto it, but it's fairly stiff and without give, so if you expect it to be extremely forgiving, it's not going to be. You can't bend it, so don't try.
The material it's made out if 100% platinum silicone, with plastic for the battery cap/dial. You shouldn't use silicone- or oil-based lubricants on it because it can degrade or even melt the toy's materials. Water-based lubricants are good ( a good one can be found here ), so stick to those. This also means you shouldn't store it with non-100%-platinum-silicone materials, because it can do the same thing the wrong lubes can; degrade or melt your toy, which is gross. If you can manage it, you should give this toy its own storage bag, but if you can't, just be aware of what you're storing it with.
Now the silicone means, while being sterilizable on the body of it ( just use antibacterial soap/water or toy wipes or a 10% bleach solution on it ), you shouldn't boil it or toss it in the dishwasher because not only might it mess up the plastic but it will more than likely wreck the insides of it as well.
It's not a waterproof toy as much as I would like it to be; there's no o-ring and from what I can tell water can seep inside very easily where the battery cap screws on. The mechanism to dial up/down the vibrations is a simple turning mechanism which I snapped a picture of;
As you can see it's not very hi-tech; there's no pulsating patterns or super-swanky 'surprise me' modes. Only settings low through high - and that's how I like it. I generally let it sit at about medium because it doesn't sacrifice too much power while remaining quieter than it would be on high. On a vibration scale, this thing sits at a 4 out of 5 - I've felt stronger, but this is really good for the price. The vibrations are also deep-set and rumbly, not superficially buzzy. The noise is, to me, about a 3 out of 5 though on the highest setting I feel it might be pushing closer to a 4.
To power this toy, you're going to need two double-A batteries. Allow me a moment to wax ecstatic about how little the Capricorn drains power; I've used it for well over 15 sessions and it still rumbles just like it did when I first put the batteries in. It's not a power-hog by any stretch of imagination.
The packaging has been lost but I know it wasn't very discrete. There was an open peekaboo window on the front that allowed you to see exactly what it was, and the back of it had two flaps that unfolded to explain what it was, as well as a little bit about the company. The explanations were in various languages including English and German.
And last but not least, you should not use this toy anally. It doesn't have a flared base which means it could get lost, and that could end up with potential and embarrassing trips to the hospital and neither you nor the doctors want that.
Over-all, I'm giving this a 4/5 - I deducted a point for loudness because I'm not one to get much privacy so the noise is the one thing that I'm not happy about, but other than that this toy is golden in my book.
