My verdict

I have to say Pure Envy has strange names for their toys, Serenity Stick, Stephanie, and Tiffany are not things I would ever call my toys. I don't even think I'd name them something masculine unless it was ironic or kinda funny like a large penis named Jerome or Billy Club. Fun fact, my very first actual dildo was named Big Poppa P because it was big and pink and I thought it was funny. I was highly uncomfortable with the thought of using it when I first got it and that name helped take the edge off a bit, but sleeping with a Stephanie... Naaaaaw. I can kiss an actual girl named Stephanie all day long, but still can't picture sleeping with one of any type, let alone one with such a funky smell! The Pure Envy Stephanie is the smelliest toy I've come across and yet I can't put my finger on what it is that it smells like... like freshly made Barbie accessories, or a failed attempt at smelly erasers.... just funky rubbery weird ass plastic odor. I've wiped it with a scented sanitary cloth, super scrubbed it, used it, super scrubbed it again and it still stinks like whatever weird plastic funk that is. The first time I opened the box was shocking... and thought it was burnt rubber but I don't know!! Regardless of her smell, Stephanie has 10 intensities and 10 modes, but it's her way or the highway as the two features aren't separately controlled like the Lovense Osci 3 but controlled by one button and cycle through a weird set of modes. The only enjoyable part for me personally was picking one of the first 3 settings and finding the intensity that felt the best. Her button layout annoys my OCD and Pure Envy seems to LOVE leaving information out on their site and in the manual as there is NO run time or charge time provided in the manual or on the site. I'm sure Stephanie might be the girl for someone out there, but she's definitely NOT my type.

Pros

No IPX rating provided but does claim to be fully submersible, I'd advice to use at your own risk.
Having a variety of intensities available is pretty nice especially when used with first 3 settings.

Cons

Funky smell when initially opened. Not quite sure how to describe it, but off-putting nonetheless.
The increase and decrease buttons are in the wrong place according to the manual and initial logic.
Not a big fan of having my sex toy named after a person, especially another woman... Uncomfortable.
Lack of pouch for storage, traveling convenience and ability to keep the device clean between uses.
Dildo and clit stimulator are not controlled separately but together and strangely. Not a fan.
