I can't tell you what I found so attractive about the CalEx 10-function C-teaser. Maybe it was its bubble-gum pink color. Maybe it was its safer-than-jelly TPR material. Maybe it was because it'd been too long since I'd had a real bullet (unless you count the Bnaughty Deluxe, which was a little too couture to be called a bullet, if you ask me; more like "pleasure bean"). On top of that, it was waterproof. How could a college student living in a cramped dorm with nosy neighbors possibly turn down a waterproof vibrating toy? Death first!
Whatever the reason for the initial attraction, it wore off ten minutes after I'd popped into the shower with my new C-teaser.
I can only assume its intended position of use is with the flat, thick portion of the pink sleeve cupping the labia. It would make the most sense for the tip of the triangle to be tucked against the clitoris, since the vibrations are strongest there. However, the cord comes out of the opposite end of the sleeve, making this a slightly awkward position since the cord must double over itself unless you trail the cord behind and around you (which, in my opinion, is even more awkward).
I played along with the toy's design, doubling the cord back so I could wedge the pink triangle between my thighs. It didn't feel quite at home there, in part due to the thickness of the sleeve, but mostly due to that silly cord. The vibrations were felt, but they were somewhat dampened due to the sleeve, and all I could feel was a trembly buzz tapping against my labia. Well, that's disappointing. I scrolled through all ten functions, which included three levels of steady vibration and various pulsation and escalation patterns. Even on the highest setting, I wasn't getting much through the sleeve, and my clit, completely discouraged by the hunk of TPR in its face, was unresponsive.
I then tried holding the C-teaser's wider end in my hand and using the point of the triangle to directly target my clit. This was not unlike using a handheld mouse to click on my favorite link (over and over and over again). This was very satisfactory, since the vibrations were concentrated in this part of the toy like no other. The strong, pinpoint vibrations gave me what I needed to finish. At the end of a frustrating first-date with the C-teaser, I was sated and happy and decided that I had myself a new shower time buddy.
As I came out of the shower and dried myself and the toy off, I noticed that moisture seemed to
have snuck inside the sleeve, where it sandwiched itself between TPR and the bullet. In order for the toy to dry properly, I would have to remove the sleeve from the bullet and let both air out. Otherwise, the moisture would stay trapped in there and possibly foster microbial growth. I spent the next five minutes wrestling with the sleeve, trying to get it to let go of the bullet. The problem wasn't suction, it was simply that the sleeve's hole is really only big enough for the cord. I had to pry the opening wide enough with my thumbs to push the bullet out from behind the sleeve with my fingers. When it finally came loose, I inspected the sleeve for damage. Ah, there it was: a definite tear right along the seam of the sleeve. And, even worse, I realized that now that the bullet was out, there was really no way of pushing it back in without harming the sleeve further.Now, I simply use the bullet on its own, and it does not disappoint. The vibrations are what some
may call "buzzy", but they are strong and work fine for me. It's not whisper quiet, but it's virtually silent through a closed door and completely undetectable over a shower.The battery compartment, which takes two AA batteries, is at the very least splashproof, thanks to a slim rubber ring around the base of the cap threads. The cord connecting the controller to the battery is insulated from moisture on both ends as well. I wouldn't recommend submerging this toy, but a shower romp should be fine.
If you should come into the possession of a C-teaser, I strongly recommend that you not take it into any aqueous environment unless you only want the bullet and could care less about the sleeve. Moisture will almost certainly be trapped inside the sleeve and you will need to remove it in order to dry things out. This may very well lead to your sleeve tearing like mine.
Assuming that you keep your C-teaser in one piece, you can clean it with soap and water, but seeing how easily moisture wanders inside the sleeve, I'd recommend using a cloth to wipe it down instead. Toy cleaner or toy wipes can also be used. If, like me, you wrecked the sleeve and only have the bullet left, all of the above still apply, but you won't need to worry about wiping it with a cloth instead of just rinsing it. This sleeve is made of TPR, so either water or silicone based lubricants can be used with it.

The C-teaser is not available for purchase yet at this sex toy store I trust, which sponsored this review. However, a plethora of other toys, vibratey or not, totally are. I suggest you go check it out.
