The reason they call this the Buddy Vibe is because it will be your new buddy. It is smooth, and it is small. The vibration is strong and quiet. Perfect for playing with the clit, internal play, and even anal play, Buddy is a fitting name for this vibe. It s even a cute purple. I would say that this is a great beginner and travel vibe. I can see buying another one or two for our house and travel bags.
