Ride a Rocket to the moon

I'm quite fond of the Trojan Midnight Collection. The first vibe I got from that line was great - the Trojan Interchangeable - so I snagged the Trojan Compact Rocket Vibrator one from GoodVibes because I'm of the opinion that one can't have enough good, classy clit vibes.

And I was completely right. The Trojan Rocket Vibrator came to me in some very swanky purple packaging - though it's not very discrete. I'm pretty sure everyone and their grandmother, dog and second-cousin-twice-removed knows what the Trojan brand-name stands for.



As you can see it's definitely not discrete, especially since you can see what's in the packaging - a vibrator. It's also probably going to be really obvious as to what it is even if you store it without the packaging - which you can use store it in there if you want, but it actually comes with a much better option. The Rocket comes with this really nice satiny toy-bag in black which gives you a really nice place to put it when you're not using it. It's also a lint-free bag, so you won't have to worry about fuzzies getting on your new vibe. 


The Rocket is, like the others in its series, really, really nice. The main plastic of the body is coated in something that makes it easier to grip ( even if you've got lube on your hands ), while the portion that comes in contact with your clit is coated in silicone. The two different halves can screw apart to reveal the battery compartment - as well as an O-ring to keep the water out - and the whole thing only takes one battery which is another plus. The entire device is 5 inches long, and the widest point is at the tip at 1 inch across. The power-button end is 0.5 inches wide. 



The controls are surprisingly nice too, even though there's only one button. You use it to cycle through all the different vibration patterns and strengths, and if you want to turn it off without clicking through every function it offers, you hold it down for a couple seconds and it shuts off without any hassle - which is a huge convenience. I'm glad they included this, because they didn't on the Interchangeable and it was just frustrating. The button doesn't give much resistance to pushing, either, and I've found that it's not in much of a place to get accidentally pushed or switched off. 

The vibrations themselves consist of three different intensities and three different vibration patterns:

1: Low speed
2: Medium
3: High
4: A slow graduation from low to high before it resets back to low. Takes about 1.5 seconds. 
5:  A short burst of High vibrations - between each pulse, there's no vibrating. 
6: 4 bursts of medium followed by a 1.5 second pulse of high. 

I find, as usual, that the high is pretty much the only one that can actually cause me to climax, while all the other speeds or patterns are really great for bringing myself close to coming or just outright teasing myself. The strength of the vibes is about 2 out of 5 on the lowest setting and it maxes out around a high 3 out of 5 on the most powerful setting. It's not quite enough to warrant a score of 4, but it's close.  

The vibrations are also focused right at the tip of the Rocket - meaning that it's strongest right where you need it, and not where you don't ( plus, I haven't had much issue with my hand going numb when I use this ). The silicone of the tip also offers some pretty decent friction, so if you like to rub your clit with vibrators, this will probably afford you some really nice sensations. I found that I do have to use a little lube to get it moving smoothly without dragging too much, however. It's also got ridges which I find are really nice for rubbing over my clit - it adds some extra 'oomph' to the whole thing which can make up for the score of 3/5 on the vibrations. 

Lube-wise, you should only use water-based, since silicone- or oil-based lubes can cause this toy to degrade. To clean it, you can actually pop it under the water without worrying since the O-ring keeps the water out. Just use some soap and warm water, if you want, or toy spray, or even wipes to sanitize the Rocket. Please, don't go boiling this because you'll ruin it! It's a vibrator ( not to mention it's got plastic parts ) and those should never be boiled or sent through the dish-washer because it can fuck with the internal workings.

In total, I'm giving this a 4 out of 5. Thanks, GoodVibes!
