Serenity Vibrator Review: Move Over, Rabbit Habit!

Disclaimer: This post is adult in nature and therefore only intended for a mature audience.


Serenity I really love my Rabbit Habit vibrator. I love it so much, in fact, that I have been through a few of them, always crawling back after the pearls jammed up or after their motors wore out. The Rabbit Habit has been my go-to vibrator since I got my first one and over the past few years, I hadn’t found anything else that provided me with the intense orgasms I have always been guaranteed to have with my Rabbit. That is, until I met the Serenity vibrator from Evolved, which thanks to EdenFantasys, I was recently given the opportunity to review.

The Serenity is a rabbit-style vibrator that provides both vaginal and clitoral stimulation. What makes the Serenity a little different than a lot of other rabbit vibrators is that its shaft is angled slightly upward to provide direct G-spot stimulation, which is what had first attracted me to this vibrator–because what’s better than a dual-stimulating toy? Why, a dual-stimulating toy that hits your G-spot, of course!

When the Serenity arrived, I could hardly wait to get it out of the package, but when I opened it, I was very surprised–very pleasantly surprised, but surprised nonetheless–at what I saw.

Serenity package The Serenity showed up packaged in pretty much the most intricate and gorgeous metal tin I have ever seen a sex toy housed in. It is abundantly apparent that Evolved puts pride into not just the toys they create, but the entire experience they are creating for their customers. The metal tin contains raised lettering throughout; from the company name on the front of its see-through lid, to the company’s website on the side and even the tribal-like decoration on the back. The attention to detail is impeccable! To remove the lid, all you have to do is move the metal prongs that hold the lid on and it will come off easily. The Serenity itself lays inside a plastic casing so it won’t move and bang around. The tin makes a fantastic storage area and because of its great quality, it will last throughout the life of your toy.

This vibrator is 8 1/2 inches in total length, 5 inches insertable and is 5 1/4 inches in circumference. It is made of TPR and is phthalates and latex-free. It is also hypoallergenic, so if you’re one of many who has freaky allergies to certain materials that make your skin angry, you don’t have to worry about having a bad reaction because of this material. It is worth noting, however, that if you share your toys, sharing the Serenity may not be a good choice because TPR can harbor bacteria and with classic vibes and dildos, you should use a condom with them if you plan on sharing, but since it’s a little hard to get a condom to fit over a clitoral attachment, keeping this toy solely your own would be the best choice for the safest sex.

It has a very jelly-like feel to it and has a tendency to pick up every single piece of lint, hair and fiber that comes into contact with it. Because of this, you should give it a good cleaning with warm water and a mild soap or toy cleaner before and after every use. It can also feel a little grabby on your skin if you don’t use lube (water-based and silicone-based lubes are safe to use with this toy) or if you are not sufficiently aroused before you try to insert it. The good thing about this material, other than the fact that it is completely body-safe, is that it is flexible, giving you a little leeway in terms of moving it around to hit that perfect spot. Even with the amount of flexibility it has, the tip of the shaft is firm enough to provide enough pressure to your G-spot to make you melt.

What stands out just by looking at the Serenity is that it is not shaped like anything cute and there are no bunnies, smiling happy faces, dolphins or anything animal-like in sight. This is a very refreshing change and will welcome those who are generally creeped out by the cuteness factor embedded into many, many toys with open arms.

The shaft, as well as the non-animal, non-cute clitoral attachment is textured with swirls, but as far as them adding anything to the experience, I couldn’t really feel much of a difference in stimulation.

The Serenity takes two AA batteries that you insert by twisting off the bottom of the vibrator, which is made of plastic and feels like it may have a rubber cote. It is very easy to twist off and the bottom goes back on just as easily. There is a very simple push-button control located at the very bottom of the vibrator that you push to deliver three different intensities of vibrations. While the control is extremely easy, it may be a little too easy because I have accidentally turned the vibrator off when it was at its most intense in use, which to say the least, can become extremely frustrating.

There are two bullet-like vibes located in both the shaft as well as the clitoral attachment. I love that there are two separate vibes within the Serenity because you don’t have to sacrifice intensity in any area and since the control turns both vibes on simultaneously, this toy puts you in a win/win situation if you favor vaginal or clitoral stimulation. While this vibrator has more girth than most, at 5 1/4 inches in circumference, it is probably not the best toy for beginners or for those who cannot handle or who are not used to a toy that can really fill you up. However, it’s girth is yet another thing I love about this vibrator. It fills me and gives me some wickedly intense orgasms, but at the same time, it does not feel as if it is stretching me in any way. It can, however, make you a little sore if you’re using it to thrust or if you use it for a prolonged period of time.

The vibrations the Serenity provide are nothing short of intense. There are three levels of intensity and at its most intense, it surpasses the power of any rabbit-style vibrator I have had. It is also completely waterproof, making it your next favorite shower or bath time companion and the vibrations do not slow down or become less intense even while completely submerged. It’s waterproof feature also makes it extremely easy to clean because you don’t have to worry about keeping certain parts of the toy out of the water in fear of them becoming damaged or broken.

The Serenity not only measures up to my Rabbit Habit, but it has taken my dear old Rabbit’s place and better yet, is more than half the price of the Rabbit Habit. Coincidentally, the Serenity vibrator is part of Evolved’s ‘True Love’ collection and because the vibrations are anything but serene, the Serenity is a toy no one could not fall in love with. I wouldn’t be giving it enough credit if I said this vibrator is a must-have for any woman’s collection.
