I got this a couple of months ago, and it does a good job. Love that part of it. But after only a few uses the battery started failing to hold a partial charge, and then any charge at all. Now it's so bad I have to plan ahead and have it on a charger within a few hours of when I want to use it. This interrupts spontaneous times with my husband...
It provides a gentler, yet somehow more intense sensation than a traditional vibrator. There's no soreness or numbness like there sometimes can be when using a more traditional wand type vibe. It's actually pretty incredible. The style is also great. It feels very well made and has a high end feel to it. As for noise... well the Cerise is very quiet on its own, but during use if the "seal" gets broken between yourself and the little suction part, expect some wet sounds. They can be a little loud, somewhat distracting and funny, but with practice, I'm sure this will not be an issue.
Took a few times to get the hang of the Sona, the settings are all very intense and the 2 that I really like took some time to find. Once I figured it out it definitely delivered. Very pleased with this and recommend!
I had the womanizer before and I think I liked it better, but it broke in 9 months. I ordered this for the price and reviews. It is real close to the womanizer in sensation, but it took some time for me to figure out how to work the controls, but that is just me. Worth the price.
