Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I was not as impressed with the Aphrodite for a few reasons, and I began to research what other customers were saying about it. During my search, I came across a really informative holistic sex toy company online (Holistic Wisdom) that had an in-depth article about the Aphrodite and why it is not a "sure thing," rather an average body massager. The article summed up exactly why I was not that impressed and is really thought provoking if you want to learn more about this and other vibrators on the market with some cool new vibes that women are raving about. Another interesting story they delve into is why the product was backordered for so many months. It seems Oprah sparked a frenzy for it like she does for so many other products she endorses.
Below are reasons why I was not as impressed with the Aphrodite which were also mentioned in the article, so I am not the only one who noticed these things-
The Aphrodite is often complained about because it is a rechargeable vibrator and requires a 24 hour charge before you use it the first time. Most people think you can charge for less but you will end up with it not working for very long if you do that. In addition, you should charge it for about 12 hours thereafter, and you cannot use it while it is charging. This is one reason why many women prefer a battery operated or electrical corded vibrator so they do not have to contend with these disruptions. Nothing like having it stop working when you are in the middle of using it!
The Aphrodite does not get that warm and can only be used for about 15 minutes when you have both the vibe and infrared on before it runs out of juice.
The Aphrodite does not provide both types of stimulation. Many women are opting for dual action vibrators that can stimulate both of the sensitive spots on a woman for sexual arousal.
The Aphrodite is a very large vibrator is more intended to all over body massage. It is also a bit on the loud side and there are many vibrators that are much smaller, and quieter for women interested in them.
Finally, no vibrator is a sure thing as Oprah said. All women have different needs and there are many vibrators on the market. One thing the article on Holistic Wisdom pointed out, is that due to lack of FDA regulations (because sex toys are still classified as novelties and are not subject to such scrutiny) many products out there today contain toxins called phthalates. It is important to get a non-toxic product, particularly if you are inserting it. They review what toys are safe and what are not. The Aphrodite is Phthalate free and Hypo-allergenic.
As to why I like the Aphrodite-
It is a nice overall body massager, although as that holistic sex toy company pointed out, there are many body massagers on the market and the Aphrodite is an average one. It is a cute color and it does provide a good level of vibration.
Overall, I think it deserves a 2.5 rating and I am glad to see others agree. If you decide to get it, some companies are giving away a free Berman sex toy cleaner with it.

Embracing your sexual pleasure isn't easy if you don't know how to reach orgasm-or if reaching orgasm is so time-consuming and complicated that you would rather watch television instead. Let's face it: Many women do not know how to self-stimulate, and even those that do are too embarrassed or nervous to try it, especially with their partner. However, if you don't know how to make yourself feel good, you are going to have a very hard time showing your partner how to make you feel good.
Sex toys can play a big role in helping women to get in touch with their sexual desires and release their inner vixen. However, many women still shy away from purchasing a sex toy, which is no surprise, considering how male-dominated the sex toy business is. Entering a sex toy store and purchasing a gigantic dildo, all while being leered at by the man behind the counter, doesn't exactly sound like most women's idea of fun.
Thankfully, women now have a niche in the sex toy field. You can now purchase a toy discreetly on the Internet, and in 3-5 business days, you will be the happiest woman on your block. More importantly, the toys themselves have changed. Forget the scary-looking implements with names like Big John. The Berman Center Intimate Accessories Line was created exclusively for the comfort and pleasure of women, which is why the toys are discreetly packaged, aesthetically pleasing, and quiet.
Aphrodite is one of the first toys we created, and it is geared specifically to helping women achieve sexual pleasure for the first time (or, for the first time in a loonng time). Anorgasmia (the medical term for people who experience regular difficulty reaching orgasm) occurs more often than you might think- about 15 percent of women report difficulties with orgasm, and as many as 10 percent of women in the United States have never climaxed.
Enter Aphrodite! Named appropriately after the goddess of love and sexual pleasure, Aphrodite is a ‘sure thing.' Simple to use, Aphrodite is a foolproof way to help you enjoy orgasm, whether it is your first time or your millionth!
And, here is the good news: vibrators are for use among couples and single folks alike, and they are a safe, healthy, and normal way to experience sexual pleasure.
Allow me to banish some common vibrator myths (hopefully for good!):
A vibrator will numb me or harm my genitals
A vibrator will replace my partner
A vibrator will cause me to become "addicted" and unable to have an orgasm without it
The Berman Center led a nationwide study of sexual aids and devices in 2004. The results leave little question about the benefits of vibrators and refute just about every vibrator myth out there. My national study found that:
-Women who used vibrators experienced better sexual function and a more satisfying sex life. Vibrators were linked to higher levels of arousal, increased libido and easier, more frequent orgasms. Not surprisingly, women with vibrator experience were more sexually satisfied than their non-using counterparts.
-Vibrators are not only for the singles! In fact, we found that while 30% reported using a vibrator, more than 60% of partnered women did. Vibrators have a place for couples and men are generally supportive if you include them in the fun.
-Women with vibrator experience resoundingly disagreed with statements like: "My vibrator has replaced my partner" and "My vibrator use has negatively affected my sexual sensation."
These findings support the idea that vibrators bring only good things to your sex life. Vibrators enhance arousal with higher quality, longer-lasting foreplay and increase a woman's chances of orgasm.
