The first thing I have to say about the Vitality Plus Vibrator by Leaf+Â is WOW! From its simple and classy environmentally conscious packaging, to the storage bag, to its sleek, simple design, I was sold from the start.
Then I got to try it out and I really fell in love!
WHAT IS A LEAF?
Since launching in 2012, this company has been racking up the accolades, winning Best New Product Range and Best Environmental Concept in its first year, a nomination for the 2014 Luxury Toy Line of the Year, and a 2015 Best Eco-Friendly Sex Toy win.Â
The Leaf+ line followed their successful original releases with more power and more variety of vibrational patterns.
PACKAGING AND MATERIALS
There is no other packaging in the sex toy industry quite like the Leaf+. With a discreet, brown cardboard look and a magnetic flip closure, the box is beautifully simple with the name of the toy stamped on the outside and a discreet picture. Inside, you’ll find an instruction booklet, a USB compatible charger, a discreet canvas carrying bag and the lovely Vitality+.
The Vitality+ is fully phthalate free, latex free, superior quality silicone. Not a hint of other material or a seam anywhere. It surprisingly doesn’t seem to collect nearly as much lint as some of my other toys either, which is a big plus in my book. The charging hole is covered in a silicone that you simply push the charger through and that re-seals when you’re done. It’s like magic!
HOW DOES IT WORK?
The Vitality+ has been described as a pared down rabbit vibe. Each ear is individually operated with easy to use buttons that run through 3 levels of power and 2 patterns. The idea is that the smaller ear can be used for clitoral play and the larger ear can be inserted but considering the flexibility of the shaft on each, you are really only limited by your imagination.
Don’t let the relative size of this toy fool you. It’s a powerful little thing, too, using PowerBullet Technology to ensure a deeply satisfying rumble. With 3 levels of power and 2 different patterns, you have good options to take you from foreplay to a grand finale. When I opened mine, I showed it to some friends and we all took turns scaling up through the levels. There were some jealous looks when I got to take it to bed at the end of the night!
For noise level, I would give it a solid 2.5 out of 5. You can hear it but it is really muffled if you have it under the covers and you certainly can’t hear it through a closed door. It is the quietest toy I own that has that amount of power, which I find pretty damned pleasing.
BUT HOW DOES IT FEEL?
I love love love this toy. It was the first toy I got when we launched Betty’s and it has stayed in my bedside toy box ever since.
The genius of the design for me is its flexibility. Each petal is soft and bendable, allowing for lots of options. Clitoral vibe? Check. G-Spot. Yup. Perineal stimulation? Oh yeah. Anal tickler? You betcha. And for what those vibrations can do for your nipples? Woah! I never would have guessed something that looks so simple could check so many possibilities off my list but this little lovely does all that and more.
t’s great for foreplay and the non-traditional, non-phallic look means more sex-toy-squeamish folks don’t mind giving it a try. It’s small enough to slip it between you during intercourse and angle an ear towards your clitoris too!
I’m not much of a bathtub toy girl but this is one that I had to take in with me to try out. The silky smoothness and seamlessness of it made it just a wonderful bath toy and fully submerging it is no problem with the charging port.

THE VERDICT
It’s probably pretty obvious that I love this toy but I wouldn’t feel right, as somebody who has used it (extensively *cough*) to not try and think of some flaws.
Although I consider this toy to be plenty powerful, it is not the most powerful toy out there. If you need really intense stimulation, it may not be enough for you. Similarly, if you need a lot of pressure on your clitoris, the flexibility of the ears may prove a bit frustrating to keep in place.
As far as penetration goes, keep in mind that this is not a big toy. Although it says the insertable length is 5 inches, the longer ear is not very wide and it tapers at the tip. It comes nowhere near feeling like even a smaller dildo in that respect but feels more like a dipping in and teasing with shallow penetration.
Since I got the Vitality+ I have also become the proud owner of Life+ by Leaf+ and I couldn’t be happier with both toys. There are times when the Vitality+ just hits the spot whether it’s solo or with my partner and because of that, it has a permanent (easily-reachable) spot in my toy box.
VIDEO TRANSCRIPT:
It's Carolyn from Betty's Toy Box and today I am bringing you the Leaf Plus Vitality Plus. It's one of my favorite toys it's one that I've owned for a while and I wanted to share it with you guys.
I wanted to show you the box because they actually won best environmental marketing concept of the year that they introduced these toys. The box is all made out of recyclable materials which is really cool and now the innards of the box aren't as they should be because I've had this for a while but I'm going to give you a basic idea. It kind of flips open like this and then there's the toy.
Now I'm going to pull it out. I'm also going to show you the cute little burlap bag that they give you with the Leaf logo on it. Really handy to store it because it's kind of like a breathable material. So, I don't really like those satiny pouches that you put stuff in because it makes me worried about bacteria.
So, this is Vitality and looks a little odd granted. The thing that I love about this is it's got a really good feel in your hand and it's also great for a bunch of different uses. I mean basically use your imagination. It's pretty powerful. It's got a pretty quiet rumble on the bottom level and each ear actually rumbles individually so go up a level, up a level. Still pretty quiet but like super powerful.
That's what I really like about this and the way that it's pointed here at the end means that you get like a really nice rumbling tingle. If you're really gentle with it right on the tip and then it's got some patterns. They do their patterns individually as well so I'm going to turn it off, so I can actually talk but you just hold it down to turn it off. Really really easy.
Now so each ear does its own thing depending on how you press it. If you want to turn it off just hold it down for a few seconds and that's it. It goes off. The other thing I really like about it pull that ear apart and it bounces right back.
So, it's got a lot of different possibilities. I mean if you really wanted to you could use both ends like that insertable. You can do like this for some clitoral stuff, you can insert that. You can use this down towards your perineum.  It's also not a huge toy so it’s nice for couple play. I mean it's great - the little edges here on your nipples or to do some light tickling and stuff like that. And it can still kind of fit in between you if you and a male partner want to have some kind of vibrational stimulation going on.
It's waterproof. It's got a little silicone divot here which is where the charger kind of goes into. It's got a USB charging device as well. Really easy to charge, charges really quickly and holds the charge for a pretty long time.
So, the other thing I should mention is it's originally designed in Canada so it's kind of near and dear to our heart since that's where our home base is primarily.
So, there you go. Leaf Plus Vitality. One of my absolute favorite multi-purpose, flexible, can do a million things, go to toys that stays by the bed and never leaves because there's so much you can do with it. Cleans up really well too. Waterproof and also, I use antibacterial toy cleaner, or you can use some soap and water. That's fine as well. So, there you go. One of my very favorites Leaf Plus Vitality Plus.
