This is the first toy that I have ever really been able to enjoy anally. I originally bought it to use anally during PIV sex, but it was awhile before we got around to using it for that purpose so we tried about just every other use first!

The Nexus G-play comes packaged in a sleek black box, with a window so you can see the toy. It's easy to open, and comes with an insert detailing directions on which way the battery goes in, etc. It's foolproof.

This toy has an interesting curve to it, meant to hit the g-spot, but also very good for the male prostate. It also has a good base so it's very safe for anal play. It's 4 inches long, with 3-1/3 inches insertable, and the diameter is 1-3/8 inches at its widest point. However, it is not round. It is thin from side to side, and wider from front to back. On the bottom is a power button, with 5 separate functions and a battery door. It takes one AAA battery, which it does come with. I found the battery it came with only really lasted one mid-length session (couldn't have been more than half an hour that it was turned on). I went to go turn it on the next time we broke it out to play, and the battery was dead. I just snagged the battery from an unused vibe and we've managed to get at least 3 more uses out of this on the new battery with no problem. The vibe is also pretty loud, even when inserted, and it could probably be heard through a thin door. Not a problem that putting on some music can't solve!

The toy has a removable silicone sleeve that goes over the vibrating portion of the toy. The silicone is great; it has no seams in it, is silky smooth and doesn't attract any fuzz or dirt like some stickier silicone can. (Our Nexus dildos attract EVERYTHING.) Ours has a small black imperfection on it that I noticed right out of the box; it's right near the base. I tried to scratch it off, but it didn't work. This also proved that the silicone is durable! To clean the silicone sleeve, I just wiggle the vibrator out of the sleeve and thoroughly wash it with antibacterial soap and water, but it can also be cleaned in any of the recommended ways for cleaning silicone including: 10% bleach solution, boiling, and putting it in the top rack of your dishwasher. Antibacterial soap and water has never failed me.

The G-play has 5 vibration settings, all of which are quite strong. The first is a roller coaster type pulsing, first slow, then fast, then slower again. The second is a 3-4 second steady vibration, with a break, then the vibration for another 3-4 seconds. The third is a steady strong vibration (my favorite). The fourth is a quick pulse, and the fifth is another roller coaster variation. To turn it off, you hold down the power button. I love this because you don't have to cycle through the settings in order to get it to turn off post-orgasm. The vibe is also quite long, maybe a bit larger than your standard bullet vibe, and goes pretty far up into the silicone sleeve, so the vibrations are strong throughout.

The Nexus G-play is advertised as a g-spot vibe, but to be totally honest it didn't do much for me in that department. This is where the size was a downfall. I personally like something a little bit more filling. The vibrations were nice, but just kind of made me jump and giggle instead of get closer to orgasm. However, this toy PERFORMED anally for the both of us. The curve that did nothing for my g-spot did wonders for my boyfriend's prostate. It's our first toy that's curved so strongly. It rather quickly became his new favorite prostate toy. It doesn't stay in place great while thrusting, but it's nothing that isn't easily remedied with a little creativity. Another great thing to note is that the vibrations can be felt in his cock, which is fabulous. It's not as strong as a cock ring, but subtle.

I also loved it anally (although not as much as my boyfriend did). Something you need to know about me is that I am a total wimp when it comes to anything in my butt. I'm just now starting to get over it. This, with a bit of lube, was a great size. It's labeled as a large, simply because it's the largest one of the bunch, but it's not scary in the slightest. Insertion is a breeze, as it's rather ergonomically shaped. Again, with thrusting it doesn't stay in too well, but it's easily kept in place with a hand. One problem that I personally had was that it couldn't be inserted straight while still allowing for vaginal access. However, it was quite comfortable even when turned sideways slightly to allow for access. The vibrations are transmitted very well through the vaginal wall, and afterwards, my boyfriend was left contemplating if they have a vibrating Fleshlight for when I'm not around. He was delighted when I informed him that there was. I would say that using the G-play this way is akin to a female cock ring; it turns you or your partner into a real-life vibrating sex toy that you can cuddle with after!

I am so glad that we sprang for the large size of this toy. If you have had any kind of anal play before, do yourself a favor and go for the large, unless you are an absolute anal beginner. The added features are great, it feels great, and it's just all around awesome. My one complaint is that it does seem to eat through batteries rather quickly but that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make.
