The Nexus line is known for their superior construction and design for male g-spot (p-spot) plugs and toys. I was attracted to the cool shapes and bright colors and decided to try this as a female g-spot toy to explore its other possible uses. It was designed with both sexes in mind, but mostly advertised and consumed by males. I found many great ways to use the Nexus G-rider as a female. This is a truly versatile toy!

The Nexus G-Rider does not come in different sizes like the G-play does, which is a shame. In terms of female g-spot play I would recommend this for most women. Those with extremely narrow vaginal canals might find this to be too large for them. Mine is somewhat narrow and I found the size to be very comfortable. For anal play, I would recommend this for those with some experience whether you are female or male. The shape takes a bit of getting use to and practice to insert. The vibration levels are great for anyone because of the options it provides. I also recommend this for females who like to have anal sex, but cannot finish from it. This can be worn during anal intercourse, strap on play, or even out and about. It can also be used for women who are wanting to strengthen their vaginal muscles. I wasn't kidding when I said I found a lot of uses!

The G-rider is made of FDA approved silicone which feels velvety to the touch. It is firm and solid but still has some mobility where the inside vibrating bullet is not preventing it. The silicone is body safe, non-porous, phthalates and latex free, hypo-allergenic food-grade material. There is no smell or taste. Another nice thing about silicone is that it retains heat. You can dip it in warm water prior to play as long as you are careful of the battery compartment. There is little to no drag across the material's surface, so lubricant is not essential for vaginal play. However if being used for anal play, lubricant is needed to aid insertion and provide more comfort.

The G-rider is 5" long, with 4" of insertable length. The thickest portions are 4 1/2 inches in circumference, a little over 1 1/2 in girth. The base is large also, it is 4 1/2" long and 1 1/4" wide. The shape to this toy is unique. The head protrudes from the rest of the toy to stimulate the perineum or g-spot. It narrows and then wides again for a full shaft. Towards the base, is another narrow portion that anchors the toy inside the body. This meets the slightly curved base that it formed to fit on either sides of where the toy is inserted. On one side of the base are raised nubs. The bottom is flat and is where the battery compartment and controls are located. There is a spot for the battery and a single button to go through the various vibration levels and patterns. The entire design is smooth and seamless. I did not find any imperfections.

Because the toy's material does not collect dust, lint, etc it is great for travel. It does not require a package to keep it clean. It isn't very discrete though due to its unique shape and bright colors.

To turn the toy on, press the only button on the bottom. The first speed is powerful and a roller coaster pattern that alternates between fast and faster speeds. Second is an even strong vibration that abruptly stops for a few seconds before starting again. Third is an even stronger constant vibration. Forth is a weaker on and off pulsing. Fifth is a mini roller coaster pattern that stops for a moment before repeating. If you press the button again, the vibration will start over. To turn the toy off, the button needs to be held down for 2-3 seconds. With the exception of the second pattern, I enjoyed all of these. The sound on all levels was fairly discrete, especially when inserted inside the body. Now to the testing...

The Nexus G-rider is amazing! I found so many uses for it.

1. First I tried it as a female g-spot stimulator. It went past my g-spot and didn't provide a huge amount of stimulation fully inserted. However, the base turns into a handle for thrusting by a partner and this way I was able to achieve a lot of direct stimulation. It felt great being thrusted as the head extension rubbed my g-spot. The vibration pinpointed the area and added to my arousal.

2. Second, I used this anally. Make sure to use a lot of anal lube. I found that I was too inexperienced with this type of shape to get a lot of enjoyment out of this initially. I needed practice to relax and warm up to this. Once in, it stayed put nicely and was comfortable for extended wear. I preferred to have the base nubs face towards my clit. It provided a nice full feeling.

3. Third, I used this for solo masturbation. While having it inserted vaginally, I laid down with a pillow underneath my pelvis. With a rocking motion it provided triple stimulation! This was my favorite way to use the toy. Since it is hands free, I was able to play with my nipples also. The nubs rubbed my clit, I rode the shaft, and the other end of the base stimulated the outside of my anus. I achieved amazing orgasms this way, with or without the vibration turned on. The vibration was strong enough to transfer through to my clit too.

3. This gave me another idea. How about using it during anal sex? I don't usually have a problem finishing just from anal sex, but I have an even stronger orgasm if I can stimulate my clit. Wearing this during anal sex, in the same position with the aid of a pillow, helped me achieve this. My partner said he could feel the toy through the anal wall and the outside base rubbed against his shaft nicely. So this is great for females who can't finish from anal sex alone but still like to please their partner this way.

4. By this point, I had realized that there didn't seem to be any way to use the G-rider where it would feel uncomfortable. I tried it in a harness. Although a bit awkward because of the curve base, it is possible it could be used to penetrate another. Flipped around however, it turns a traditional strap on harness into a double penetration vibrating harness! It can be worn anally as well.

5. The last way I found to use the G-rider was for exercising the kegels. The toy weighs a third of a pound which is enough along with the shape to provide a weight to strengthen vaginal muscles. If you put on a pair of panties and jeans, the G-rider can be ridden out in public too! If you put in a weak battery it is discrete enough to go unnoticed turned on.

The G-rider takes a single AAA battery which is provided. The battery compartment opens with a little latch and the battery slides in. I cannot emphasize this enough. Make sure you have FRESH batteries, even if a toy provides them for you. Often they are of low quality, which was the case here. At first I tried the toy with the battery provided and wasn't impressed at all. I was shocked. I thought, "This is a really high quality toy, it must pack more punch that this!". I decided to use my own fresh Duracell battery and the difference in power was huge. If you want to wear this out, I would use the weaker battery because it makes the vibrations about half as strong and virtually noiseless. Remove the battery when not in use.

The silicone material cannot be used with silicone lubricants. Water based has to be used. I used Colt Slick lubricant for my vaginal play and this anal lube for my butt play. They both worked well and didn't have to be reapplied. They also washed off the toy easily.

To clean the toy, use water and soap but make sure that you do not get the battery compartment wet since it is not waterproof. There is no moisture seal at all. You can also use an anti-bacterial spray. The insertable portion of the toy can be dipped in hot water for 3-5 seconds to further sterilize. Storage is easy since it doesn't collect dust or lint. The package it comes in works fine, but doesn't hide the toy at all since it is clear on one side showing the toy. I keep mine in a small silk pouch.

The packing is very minimal. It is a thin plastic double pointed almond shape that is clear on one side. This shows the toy inside. There is a pamphlet included that tells how to relax to use the toy and to stimulate blood flow. It also describes care practices. It can be used as a gift, but isn't impressive.
