Cal Exotic Novelties Love Vibes Heart Nub Jelly Vibrator

What it is

The Love Vibes Lover is a battery-operated jelly vibrator from California Exotic Novelties, moulded in translucent red jelly with glitter suspended through the material and heart-shaped nubs covering the full length of the shaft. The packaging describes it as a 10 Function, Waterproof, Glittered Jelly Vibrator, and "Lover" is the model name printed on the card. It arrives sealed on a hanging blister card with the Love Vibes artwork on the front.

It is a straight, classic-shape vibrator rather than a rabbit, wand or app-controlled device — one slim shaft, one control at the base, nothing to pair or charge. If you want something simple to pick up and put down, that simplicity is the point of it.

The design, close up

The whole working surface of this vibrator is texture. Instead of a smooth or lightly ribbed shaft, the body is covered in raised heart-shaped nubs that wrap all the way around and run from just below the tip down to the control base, so there is no flat section anywhere along its length. The hearts are moulded into the jelly itself rather than applied to it, so they are soft and flexible and move with the material instead of standing rigid.

The jelly is clear enough to see straight through, tinted an even translucent red, with fine glitter flecks set into the body. Light passes through it, which is why the glitter catches as the toy is turned. The tip is tapered and rounded with the same heart texture carried over it, so the profile narrows gently rather than ending in a blunt cap.

The base is a separate ribbed section in translucent amber that houses the controls and the battery compartment. The ribbing is there for grip — the jelly shaft above it is slick, especially once lubricant or water is involved, so the textured base is what you actually hold. The card states ten functions; the base is where you move between them.

How to use and care for it

Wash the vibrator before its first use and after every use afterwards. Warm water and a mild unscented soap, or a dedicated toy cleaner, are all it needs; the packaging describes the body as waterproof, so it can be rinsed under a running tap rather than wiped. Pay attention to the recesses between the heart nubs, since a heavily textured surface holds more residue than a smooth one — a soft toothbrush kept for the purpose, or a few seconds of running water at an angle, clears them. Let it air-dry fully before storing.

Use a water-based lubricant with it. Water-based is the compatible choice across jelly, rubber and silicone bodies alike, it rinses away with plain water, and it will not degrade the material over time. Avoid oil-based products, which are difficult to wash out of a textured surface and are not compatible with latex barriers if you use one.

Store it dry, on its own, away from direct sunlight and away from other jelly or rubber toys. Soft materials left pressed together for months can mark or tack against one another, so a cloth bag or a dedicated drawer compartment is worth the small effort. Take the batteries out when you do not expect to use it for a while — a battery left in any device can eventually leak and damage the contacts.

Check the base is closed and seated before taking it near water, and give the body a quick look over each time you clean it. Any split, tear or roughening of the jelly means it should be retired, because a damaged surface can no longer be cleaned properly.

Who it's for

This is a straightforward, texture-led vibrator for adults 18 and over, and it suits a few people in particular. Someone buying a first vibrator will find nothing to learn here — no charging cradle, no app, no multi-motor layout, just batteries and a base control. Someone who already owns smooth toys and wants a different surface will find the heart nubs are a genuinely different feel rather than a cosmetic change. And because it is waterproof, it suits anyone who wants something usable in the bath or shower and easy to rinse.

It will suit you less well in a few cases. If you want a near-silent device, this is not it; customer reviews on this listing mention it is audible in use. If you want measured dimensions confirmed before buying, those are not printed on this packaging. If you specifically want body-safe silicone, this is sold as jelly, not silicone, and you would be better served elsewhere in our adult toys range. There is also no charging port on this model — it runs on batteries housed in the base.

It sits comfortably as a gift or an impulse buy — the Love Vibes card art and the heart motif are deliberately light-hearted rather than clinical, which is unusual in a category that mostly photographs in matte black.

Good to know

Jelly is a soft, porous-leaning material, which has a few practical consequences worth knowing before you buy. It cannot be boiled or put in a dishwasher. It should not be shared between partners without a condom over it, because a textured porous surface cannot be sterilised at home. And if you have a known latex or rubber sensitivity, approach an unlabelled jelly toy cautiously and patch-test on your inner forearm first — the composition is not printed on this card.

Keep it out of reach of children. Discontinue use if you notice irritation, and speak to a licensed healthcare professional if you have any medical condition that makes you unsure whether a device like this is appropriate for you. This is an adult novelty, not a medical device, and it is not intended for use on broken or irritated skin.

Orders ship in plain, unbranded outer packaging with no product imagery and no indication of the contents on the outside of the parcel.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the heart nubs on the shaft?

They are raised bumps moulded into the jelly in the shape of small hearts, covering the entire shaft from below the tip to the control base. Because they are part of the moulding rather than applied on top, they flex with the soft jelly body instead of feeling rigid. They are the defining feature of this model — there is no smooth section along its length.

Can the Love Vibes Lover be used in the bath or shower?

Yes. The packaging carries a WATER PROOF badge and describes the toy as a waterproof vibrator, so it can be used in or out of water and rinsed clean under a running tap. Make sure the battery base is fully closed and seated before it goes near water, and dry it completely afterwards before storing.

What lubricant should I use with it?

Use a water-based lubricant. It is compatible with jelly, rinses off with plain water and will not break the material down over time, which makes it the safe default for any soft-bodied toy. Avoid oil-based lubricants, which are hard to clean out from between the heart nubs.

How do I clean a textured toy like this one?

Wash it with warm water and a mild unscented soap or a purpose-made toy cleaner, before first use and after every use. The heart texture creates small recesses that hold more residue than a smooth shaft, so work water or a soft brush into them rather than simply wiping the surface. Let it air-dry completely before putting it away.

How is this order packaged for delivery?

It is sent in plain, unbranded outer packaging that carries no product imagery and no description of the contents. The product itself arrives sealed on its original Love Vibes blister card inside that outer packaging.
