I chose to purchase this vibe because I was looking for a decent standard basic g-spotter that could also do double duty for clitoral stimulation (or other body parts). I was drawn to the shape of the curved tip on this one. It doesn't look too large nor too small, just right--kind of like Goldilocks & the 3 bears. Anyhow, I ended up being a bit disappointed with overall performance, hence the 3 stars. It's not a bad choice by any means, just wasn't quite what I thought it would be.

The Basics: On the plus side, it *is* a nice basic g-spot toy, nothing too intimidating for beginners. The soft purple color is pleasing enough & it feels nice in the hand, meaning no weird seams or anything that would make insertion uncomfortable or cleaning difficult. It's easy to clean with soap and water. Works great with a water based lube. And it's safe to wash in water as well because, lo and behold, it's waterproof! It's not overly girthy and the bulbous ridges are comfortable enough and help for easier holding without slipping during usage. However, they don't really do anything for me personally in terms of sensation.

Design & Functions: The tip is nicely curved but has a more buzzy feel to it than what I was hoping. While by no means impossible, I often find it difficult to get off using this toy as a clitorial stimulator. For g-spot play, well, I just don't know what it is. It looks like it *should* work well, but I just wasn't feeling it so much. Maybe it's just me. However, I find it does seem to work best when my partner uses it on me while at the same time stimulating me orally. The vibe works good for this purpose because the size isn't so big that it gets in the way too much, and its design allows for him to keep a good grip on it & maneuver it around fairly easily. It could also serve nicely as an all over body massager/stimulator, good for foreplay, and the curved tip is great for nipple stimulation. The dial base is easy to adjust without popping off--don't you just hate when that happens? It takes 2 AA batteries, ( easy & cheap to find,) and does pretty well on them, not a guzzler, though I don't use it as much as some others might.

Noise: Between low and moderate, depending on how it's used and on which setting. When used internally or pressed to the skin, it seems to be much quieter. But if you were to turn it on and just have it laying on your bed, for example, it could probably be heard across the room, but maybe not in tne next room (unless you have thin walls). Again, all depends on how you're using it and which position you have it in. It seems mostly quiet, but I've had quieter ones, so that's why I rate it a 3 in this category.

Overall Opinion: I do wish it had a little more oomph to it. Don't get me wrong, it does has have a fairly decent high setting that would probably work great for many, but for me personally, I found myself wanting more. I give it 4 vrooms for its power, but its a buzzy type of power. I'm a girl who likes either strong power, or good rumbly vibes. For me, a g-spot vibe should be throbby, rumbly. This didn't quite fit the picture. That being said, it's by no means a dud. For the price, I don't regret the purchase. Seems decently made. And yes, the feel is somewhat velvety, which is nice, but still has a plastic feel. Mine hasn't cracked or malfunctioned in the 2 years or so that I've had it (then again, haven't used it all that much compared to many of my other toys). Still, I think it's good for the price & I don't regret buying it, but I'll be hunting for something better.

Overall Conclusion: If you're new to g-spot toys, this is a decent choice. Shape and size are good for a beginner and will help you figure out what kind of stimulation you need for maximum pleasure for when you purchase toys in the future. The ridges might feel great for some, not so much for others. It's not overly girthy or intimidating. Plenty of length for insertion for the depth you might want/need. For those who are well experienced with g-spot toys, this is a good basic for your toy aresnal (and it's good to have at least the basics). It's cheap, but not not cheaply made. Oh, and it's waterproof, too! Only wish it came in more colors.
