I was shocked when I saw the ginormous size of the G-twist|G-twist. Measuring nearly 2 1/4" at its widest point, it's not for beginners or those looking for mild stimulation.

The toy features a long shaft decorated with highly textured ridges on the front and six pleasure bumps on the back. The toy's tip is strongly curved and covered with little nubs. The feel of the toy is very firm; it will not compress much at all when used inside the body.

I had the devil's own time getting the batteries into this toy. A screw-cap on the toy's base provides access to the battery compartment. Inside rests a cradle to hold the batteries. There are even tiny " " and "-" signs printed onto the cradle so that you don't have to guess which direction the batteries go. My problem was that I didn't realize that three of the batteries go in the front of the cradle while one hides in the back. Oops. It only took me *cough*fifteen*cough* minutes of fumbling around before I realized my mistake.

Speed and rotation are controlled independently from a small panel on the front of the toy. The buttons are protected with water-resistant covers. This is a very nice touch. Two buttons turn the speed and rotation on or off, while two more toggle between high or low speeds and left or right rotation. This is a little complicated, especially in the heat of the moment.

After a long round of oral, fucking and fisting (and more orgasms than we could count), my friend and I felt ready to try out this massive toy. I wanted to make sure that I was completely relaxed, totally comfortable and very turned on before I attempted to use something so large and textured.

Alas, even with plentiful lube the toy was quite painful going into me. The various bumps, ridges and nubby things hurt instead of giving pleasure.

We settled for inserting just the tip with the vibrations turned to their maximum capacity. That felt nice, but even with that small portion in my body, I could feel bumps poking me painfully in the labia.

Also, the toy's rotation is very mild and easily stopped by pressure from the body. My friend reported that he could barely discern any rotation from his perch between my legs, and I certainly couldn't feel it.

After I admitted defeat with this toy, I just had to experiment with another toy of similar size. Was I broken, I wondered? Was there something wrong with me that I couldn't handle such a large toy? Nope, we found out. My other toy is equally large but boasts a very smooth texture. It felt great. The problem was only in the toy's extreme size and texture.

My friend opined that there should be an inverse relationship between size and texture: the larger the size, the lower the texture. I would have to agree.

While its level of rotation was disappointing, I can certainly imagine that size kings and queens would love the extreme girth and knobbiness of this toy. Check measurements carefully; if you're in the mood for a very intense ride, this product would be a worthy choice.
