Red Hot Ember — Test and Review

The CalExotics Red Hot Ember is sexy! It's a beautiful red, incredibly high-quality silicone, and has a sensual, tapered shape. And although its operations and settings are very basic, the toy is extremely powerful with lower frequency, rumbly vibrations that carry through the body. Plus, not only can you use the tip for concentrated, pinpoint stimulation, the lower part of the toy offers vibrations that can be used on other areas of the body. Going back to the button, it's placed on the bottom, making it incredibly easy to operate with your thumb.

This little powerhouse is so easy to use! It has a single button on the bottom, which you can operate with your thumb. Plus it presses with little effort. The Red Hot Ember flickering vibrator is light weight, though it's thick, so it's suitable for those with grip issues. Finally, the vibrations are deeper and more rumbly, so it doesn't make your hand go numb while holding it.

I am going to give the Red Hot Ember the benefit of the doubt. By and large, CalExotics hasn't been in the upper scale when it comes to sex toy quality. However, this one is created with high-quality materials, which makes it look and feel luxury level. It feels sturdy and operates well, being relatively quiet. It charged easily and has lasted quite a while, so far. My only concern is the longevity of the toy, as a whole, considering there is only a 1-year warranty. For the price, I don't think it will last as long as other, more upper-level brands.

The CalExotics Red Hot Ember is about mid-range, price wise, when comparing it to like products. You get the toy and a charger, no storage bag or a box you'd really want to keep. So, I personally wouldn't spend this much money for this particular product. That being said, out of the gate, it does run well and has lovely, rumbly vibrations, that are hard to find in this type of product. I'm simply on the fence about how long the product will last for the price.

Performance wise, the Red Hot Ember surpassed my expectations. Honestly, I thought it was going to be the usual, over-the-top, buzzy vibrations that make my hands ache and my clitoris want to crawl up inside my body. On the contrary, although extremely powerful, this little toy rumbles, sending waves of sensations through your body. And the tip gives you the extreme buzzy vibrations you want for intense, targeted pleasure. It charged well, ran quietly and didn't warm up at all while using it. Plus, the button clicked easily and moved seamlessly through the 10 settings....and it lit up! I give the Red Hot Ember top scores for performance!

Ugh, CalExotics, this porn-ish stuff on product boxes is completely unnecessary and really takes any class whatsoever out of the product. To be honest, if I saw this sitting on a shelf, next to another like product, I would immediately see this one as cheap. The clear top of the box is thin, see-through plastic with the image on a shirtless man and a barely-dressed, lingerie clad woman in a heated embrace, as he kisses her cleavage. It's definitely not suitable for households with children. On the other hand, the box does offer all of the product information you need, and the vibrator itself is tucked safely inside custom, thick foam. No, I wouldn't keep it. And for the price this vibrator costs, I really wish they'd included a bag for storage.

The Red Hot Ember flickering vibrator is made from very nice, silky silicone. The sleek shape is both sexy and lightweight, so it's easy to handle and manipulate. A little bit of water-based lube and the tip glides over your body easily. And since it's waterproof, it's incredibly easy to clean with warm water and soap, a silicone compatible sex toy cleaner, or wipe. In regard to storage, you'll definitely want to purchase a storage bag, tuck it in a sock that's missing it's mate, or just keep the foam interior of the box. That's because the box itself is too graphic and adult for my taste, so it's going into the trash.
