My verdict
Gotta get the usual puns/jokes and comments out of the way... Ready to get down and dirty in the sand?! Talk about fun in the sun! Sex on the beach anyone? Okay, got that out of my system... CalExotics Venice Vixen is my favorite "all in one" toy by CalExotics thus far as it's internally and externally stimulating at the same time. Compared to the Jack Rabbit it feels better built and high quality, with a different and personally more preferred shaft shape. The best thing about the Jack Rabbit was the ears, which in all honest I prefer to have over the encaser the Venice Vixen has to offer as they are just... more invigorating. Incase you're wondering and want an easy summation of features, the CalExotics Venice Vixen has 10 clitoral encaser modes, 3 shaft intensities, a use time of 45 min on high and 150 on low, a charge time of 150 mins, and though no IPX rating is officially provided it claims it's waterproof.
Pros
Will remember the last settings you had it on so you can keep going next time you pick it up!
The Travel Setting helps avoid accidentally turning it on in your bag, your drawer or where ever!
Use time on lowest settings lasts as long as it takes to charge, 150 minutes. Pretty damn long!
No official IPX rating provided, but claims it's waterproof. Easy to clean and fun to use!
Cons
Button layout can be confusing on first use, unless of course you read the instructions lol.
No carrying pouch included with the item. Keeps the item clean, hidden, and is easier to travel with

California Dreaming Venice Vixen Rabbit Style Silicone Vibrator by CalExotics
Design

Normally not a big fan of yellow, but much like the Utimi Lavender, I feel color theory and picture association come into play here quite a bit. By pairing the bright color with the theme of the beach, they are associating the color with the bright beach sun and the glow of the sand which somehow seems to work at making the color appeasing and acceptable. Yet again, I find myself enjoying something that's normally not my first choice because they associated it with something that I do. There's a potential that if it was paired with anything else, I might've said I'm glad I can at least be seen at night like I'm wearing a safety vest or highlighter called, it's missing a vat of yellow. It could be paired with McDonald's golden arches and it'd be a toss up of whether or not I'd say I'm loving it lol. But because it was paired with a beach I find I actually like it... go figure lol.

Regarding other features:

The clitoral stimulator was definitely a strange design concept to me at first, one might say it threw me for a loop xD, and even more strange was the name "encaser." Wasn't entirely sure if it meant I stuck my clit through the loop like threading a needle or what, but it was definitely another new one I've been exposed to since starting this journey. Never would have guessed how many styles of clitoral stimulator attachments there are.

As far as the shaft is concerned, I find that I'm glad it's not a forced phallic shape like the Jack Rabbit and that they avoided the janky thrusting feature with this one. Since I'm usually a vibes kind of girl anyway, I'm more than alright with the fact that it came with only 3 intensities of vibrations for it. My only comment is it could've started off a smidge more intense.

The travel lock feature is a very nice touch, I enjoy when things can't be easily set off at unfortunate times or that the battery can't be accidentally wasted if it's bumped on while stored somewhere and goes unnoticed.

I almost wish the buttons were labelled, it's a poke and hope at first to figure out which button does what.

  1. Top button: used to apply travel lock by holding for a few seconds until all device lights turn off; remove travel lock by holding for a few seconds until all device lights come on; use as an off switch when the shaft and/or clitoral encaser are turned on. Has nothing to do with turning either feature on.
  2. Middle button: press once to power on, press to continuously cycle through the 3 settings, and hold for several seconds to power off
  3. Bottom button: press once to power on, press to continuously cycle through the 10 settings, and hold for several second to power off.

Overall I think the design is pretty nice, I like the gold trim as it feels elegant, the overall simplicity of the shaft shape, the unique clitoral encaser shape and name, and weirdly the fact that they successfully manipulated me into liking a color that's on the bottom of my list lol.

Experience

The CalExotics Venice Vixen was definitely a more delightful overall experience than the CalExotics Jack Rabbit. The shape of the shaft was more filling, comfortable, and pleasing. I have the horrible bad habit of testing toys with the charge they came with, I feel it not only gives me a good idea of whether or not I can still get off as it gets closer to charge time, but also gives me something to look forward to when it's fully charged. With the provided charge I found I needed to be on 2 or 3 to really get things going and get them done. The encaser was still a confusing one to me, but for the most part I treated it like the ears of the Jack Rabbit and let it do its thing. Again I found I enjoyed the 3rd intensity the most and one or two of the patterns at the time. Definitely a CalExotics toy I'd consider going back to.

Packaging

Unlike the last few toys I received from CalExotics, this one did NOT come in a privacy pouch, instead it came in a see through plastic bag, so don't expect any privacy when opening your package this time!

The package itself features a clear plastic front, showcasing the product itself against a beachy background. Written on the plastic cover is the company name in the top right, followed by the product name and some product features in the bottom right. There's also a cute "California Dreaming" written across the bottom border of the box, almost making you want to hum a Katy Perry single lol. The back of the box is the usual song and dance CalExotics does, a picture of the product and a few diagram style lines with features pointing to various parts of it and a mixture of different languages sharing the same information below. One side is the usual company bio and pic of the CEO and the other is a reverse image of the beachy background featured on the front.

I am a sucker for beaches, it's a big part of the aesthetic I keep around me in the form of knick knacks, art, crafts I make, and backgrounds I pick. It's just so relaxing to stick your toes in the sand and forget about your worries. So what could possibly be more appropriate to pair with a device that's also meant to make you feel relaxed and wash away your worries for a moment than a beach?!

What's in the Box?!

Inside the package: the product itself, a charger, an instruction manual, and a more succinct instruction manual.

I find it odd that the charger and succinct instruction manual were in a baggy together and at all, I feel it was a bit unnecessary, especially since the other manual was left to free float. I like the efficiency of their manuals in some sense, from a manufacturing point of view I can see that it saves paper and makes packaging easier as it can simply be thrown in any box without a care. But from a customer point of view it can be a little confusing to have to go through the part numbers to figure out which is yours and learn the information about it.

Travel Lock

CalExotics French Kiss was another toy they claimed had a travel lock feature, but in that case it simply wasn't true. The power button just simply needed held down to de/activate the device at any point.

CalExotics Venice Vixen is a bit different.

  1. To apply travel lock: Hold the top button for a few seconds until all device lights turn off
  2. To remove travel lock: Hold the top button for a few seconds until all device lights come on
  3. When travel lock is off: Use the top button as an off switch when the shaft and/or clitoral encaser are turned on.
  4. Middle button: press once to power on, press to continuously cycle through the 3 settings, and hold for several seconds to power off.
  5. Bottom button: press once to power on, press to continuously cycle through the 10 settings, and hold for several seconds to power off.

I'm genuinely amazed I'm here! Though I can come off very flirty and sometimes talk a big game, when it comes to certain sexual aspects I am actually quite shy, slightly uncomfortable, lacking in confidence and can sometimes be downright prudish lol. My sex life always consisted of my favorite fingers or an actual man. (Shocking I know!) Toys were something I felt would disrupt intimacy or ruin my ability to orgasm without one. Let's face it, a man can't vibrate like a motor can or always keep up with the Energizer Bunny lol. It was actually a recent relationship with vastly different libidos that resulted in the strangest gift of my 1st ever toy: an egg w/ an app and settings created by other users. At first it felt like cheating... Over time, it became a boost to my independence/self-confidence and I realized I needed to learn to love myself in new ways. This is a definitely surprising step in my journey of self exploration, but one that I hope can oddly help others in theirs too!

  • Adam & Eve Intimate Curves Wand Review: Not an Ollivanders' Wand but Still Pretty Magical

    Seemingly out of wand puns somehow, so disappointing! ><' The Adam & Eve Intimate Curves Rechargeable Wand is an excellent personal massager, vibrator and clitoral stimulator. It has a 3 hour use time on low, a 1.3 hour use time on high, is submersible in water, is dual ended and has 10 settings, 3 vibrations and 7 patterns, which start out at a decent intensity. Excellent for a first time wand user, no need to be a witch or wizard to use it lol.

  • CalExotics French Kiss Review: Voulez-vous coucher avec moi, ce soir? ♪

    This lip-locking sensual sucker is the best kisser in town! To semi quote Diageo from Silicon Valley... "This toy fuuucks!" *mind blown emoji lol* CalExotics French Kiss is hands down my favorite CalExotics toy thus far! My favorite part of the CalExotics' Jack Rabbit was the ticklishly tantalizing ears, and that's now been combined with the sucking sensation I've "come" to enjoy from toys like the Satisfyer Mission Control and Romp Lipstick... Merci for the toy I never knew I was missing out on lol. This beautiful toy has the poise of the INYA Rose but is bit better in several ways. It has 12 totally fuckable functions, two interchangeable heads, a travel lock setting, a memory chip and can be submersed in water... Can you say... "Ooo la la!" xD

  • CalExotics Bullet Review: I'd Take This Bullet For You Any Day ;P

    Ironically this Bullet is hit or miss, and it has nothing to do with aim. CalExotics' Bullet is pretty great when it works, but getting it to work seems almost as fickle as getting the Blush Lipstick to work. The device is remote controlled, each device requiring a AAA to work, and features 12 settings (mix of vibrations and patterns). Unlike Iroha, CalExotics was not kind enough to include any batteries, so make sure you have some on hand. The Bullet can be fully inserted in either desired entry point and can be easily retrieved with the cord attached to the one end. The device is almost silent to others once inserted which could make it interesting for public use. The remote allows for easy use on your own or with a partner as it can be used up to 32.75 ft (10m) away. No IPX rating given, but it does claim to be usable in and out of water. No use time is given for this device, and given the weird events during testing I'm not even sure how to guess at a proper length so 60 minutes was my overall guesstimate. Can be a great toy for first time users, and can be fun for public/private partner play.

    Sohimi Vortex P: Speechless or Screaming?

    Sohimi’s Vortex P three spot stimulator toy is a beautiful, silky-skinned toy that left all of it’s users breathless and steeped in bliss. This toy is one of the most eager to serve toys I’ve seen in my time. The toy is quiet enough to be polite, and fits snugly inside, especially with the wide variety of vibration and licking settings (5 licking modes, 5 g-spot pulses, and 10 types of buzzings). I’ve seen many toys boast about having hundreds of settings, but at the end of the day quality always kneels beneath quality. The numbers are in the perfect sweet spot between variety and utility. In fact, even to the vibrating, dumb, and warm body it’s ease of use still isn’t lost to the pleasure it brings. The Vortex P is also a refreshing piece of fresh air to someone who needs more attention and care to actually enjoy myself- the toy’s functions not only change speed, but pattern and intensity rather than the standard increase in speed with constant pressure (pulse number four on the g-spot is one of my favorites). Despite how polite and loyal the Vortex P is, she does have her faults. She is advertised to work long distance, and intrigued, my and my boyfriend tried it out while I was out of the state. Despite doing every single thing we could, the toy wouldn’t connect. This was a major drawback for us, especially since we used to be more long distance. If remote control is the main reason you would like the Vortex P, I would advice against it. Not only this, but if working on all fronts, she lasts 15 minutes at most, and dies without warning. We have had this dim a few movements, but luckily the toy’s flexibility and comfortable fit makes a good fit for a reliable dildo instead. Although it is more fit for solo play, I have found that using it on someone else as a dildo can be an endless source of fun because of how sensitive the buttons are, but I can understand how that could be a downside for others.

    DYSO Aerolure Review: Lick It... Lick It Real Good!

    If you want "licked" so good your toes curl, your lip hurts from biting it, your eyes roll so far back they come back around and your body tenses with pleasure to an intense degree.... then the "tongue" feature on this device alone is worth getting the product. The rest you can read about below as this was the only saving grace and highly enjoyable feature of this toy in my opinion.

    Womanizer Pro 40: The Suctions Will Leave you Aching for More

    The Womanizer Pro 40 was the first suction toy that we got for our collection and it was a favorite from the get go. The fact that it doesn't have pattern variations is not a con for us and the simplicity and ease of use makes it perfect for beginners and those new to this type of toy. Although suction toys can be 'too much' if you are sensitive, we did not find this to be so with the Pro 40. The suctions are rumbly and start off low enough that even for a sensitive person, this was easy to scale up a level or two from the get go. This toy is more on the weightier side and it is larger than we originally expected, but don't get me wrong, this is no downside as the size makes it easy to hold and the shape makes it easy to use with fingers, other insertable vibrators/toys or can be used with penetration too which makes for some fun times. All in all, this toy is a good purchase and one that we as a couple would 110% recommend to anyone out there. It is a premium toy made from premium materials and it is not 'cheap' but not too expensive either. We do feel, however, that at this price point they could at least include a bag... (pro tip: you can use this on your man too. lube up and place it on and around the frenulum. Mind blowing...)

    Funzze Double-ended Bunny Vibrator Review: Twice the fun!

    I had a lot of fun with this toy! It was definitely something different. I think something that really stands out about this toy is how bendy and flexible it is. You can get creative with your solo and partnered play. Also, the color!? So cute. I love the mint green they went with.

    Ava Lolli Review: Lolli-pop Lolli-pop Oooo Lolli, Lolli, Lolli

    It may not lick you like a lollipop, but it'll suck you like you are one! (Maybe \_(-_-)_/) My experience was not a Lil Wayne one lol, in fact my experience sucked in the wrong way. Though the clitoral sucker functions perfectly, I found that I could not get it into a position that got me off. The only thing erotic and stimulating about this toy for me was the phallic shape and the vibrating features. That being said it might be different for someone else and may be the perfect introduction to clitoral suction toys as well as vibrating dildos.

    Satisfyer Pro+ G-Spot - G-Spot Meets Air Pulse... But Do They Actually Get Along? 🤔

    The Satisfyer Pro + G-Spot wants to be your all-in-one pleasure solution. On paper, it ticks a lot of boxes: internal and external stimulation, powerful vibes, strong suction, dual motors, waterproof design... sounds great, right? And while it can absolutely deliver orgasms, it’s got a few hurdles to jump before it gets you there. This toy feels like an ambitious group project where not all the team members are on the same page. The air pulse suction? Strong and effective. The internal vibrations? Deep and rumbling. But when it comes to doing both at once — especially on your anatomy? It doesn’t always work out. The shaft is hard and not very forgiving, and the alignment between your G-spot and clit has to be just right for the toy to shine. If it lands in that sweet spot for you, congrats! You’ve found a great little dual-action vibe at a good price. But if not? It can quickly become frustrating, uncomfortable, or just... not worth the effort. We had our moments with it, sure. But it never made it into our regular rotation. The design limits flexibility, and the rigid build doesn’t help. It’s solid for solo play, but loses its spark for couple sessions — and don’t get us started on all that unnecessary plastic in the packaging. 😑

    plusOne Air Pulsing Arouser: Affordable, But Falls Short on Air Pulse Claims

    The plusOne Air Pulsing Arouser is marketed as an air pulse clitoral stimulator. But in my experience, it doesn’t live up to that claim. Unlike similar products in this category, the plusOne Air Pulsing Arouser lacks actual pulsing functionality. Instead, it’s essentially a vibrator with a clitoris-friendly shape. While there are positives – such as ergonomic design and gentle sensations – it falls short in several areas. The waterproof claim is misleading, as submerging it in water noticeably impacted its performance. Cleaning is also challenging, as fluids can easily get trapped in the rim and charging port. Typically priced around $45 USD, it’s an affordable option for those who want to venture beyond a traditional bullet vibrator. However, it doesn’t deliver the distinct sensations I’d expect from a proper air pulse device. I’d recommend investing a little more money for a higher-quality product that genuinely offers what it claims.
