No gimmicks, bells or whistles, but it does what it says it does. It's great for anyone looking for a simple, straight forward g-spot and clit stimulation vibrator. Take care of this toy and it'll last you awhile, what more could you want.

Pros
Great for beginners, easy to store and clean. Phthalate free Abs body-safe material. Waterproof.
Cons
May not be strong enough for more advanced users. Ribbed texture may not be felt by some.
The Velvet touch vibe ribbed g-spot toy by Doc Johnson is designed to stimulate a womans g-spot and caters to beginners and those new to g-spot toys in general. Easy to use, this toy would be perfect for anyone looking for a simple, no bells and whistles g-spot vibrator. The ribbed tip is larger for perfect stimulation placement and not only for the g-spot but also for the clitoris and anywhere else you wish to place it. While the vibes aren't intense enough for more experienced toy users, it's perfect for a more gentle touch and with the toy being waterproof, it's great for a shower/bath session.
This velvety ribbed toy is made of body safe phthalate free ABS and has a smooth velvet finish all along the toy. The only not so smooth part is the ridges located at the tip which are just supposed to act as pleasure enhancers. The entire toy is rigid, stiff and does not bend or change in any way shape or form.
While I honestly couldn't tell the difference in the ribbed texture upon g-spot placement, it may affect women who are more sensitive. Since the vibe is stiff, more inexperienced users should becareful not to thrust too intensely since you may cause injury to your cervix or p-spot. This should apply to any vibe toy in general. This toy has never has any sort of smell or taste since it's abs plastic.
This toy, like most g-spot toys is shaped somewhat perfectly for most women, especially at the tip but for me the handle seems somewhat short. Maybe because the handle is so skinny, at times it felt like I was losing grip. It may just be my preference though so don't let that deter you from trying it. The tip isn't too wide so for size queens it's not the best toy out there. For others, especially beginners, it may be the perfect size with just the right amount of pressure.
There is a slight curve going up towards the bulb. This bulb has ten small ridges for texture. With the velvet coating there may be alittle drag felt so it's best to use this toy with lube of your choosing. There is no flared base or wider feel on the handle so becareful while inserting use caution. The handle makes this toy easy to use during solo play or with a lover. The ribbed vibrator has a total length of 7 1/4". The ribbed bulb measures at 2" from the slight curve with the insertable length being 6 1/2".
The ribbed g-spot vibe has only one setting with no other variety or multiple levels. Located on the bottom of the handle is the control dial and this is the sole source of power. Turning it means either you're turning it on/off or you're making the stimulation stronger. It's super easy to use as long as you have two good AA batteries. The battery compartment is located inside the handle, a simple turn of the upper part of the dial and leave the paper that's inside to avoid having the batteries shake around in there.
It's a waterproof toy, so you may take it into your bath time and not have to worry about getting it soaked. The vibe is pretty quite and can't really be heard by others unless they're close to the toy itself. The vibe at its highest setting is perfect for those who require a mild stimulation and mild pressure. It's definitely not going to be enough for women that need alot of intense, fast g-spot vibrations but it may be just the right amount of stimulation to use on their clit and p-spot. Like I said, it's not geared towards advanced users or those who like their toys with any sort of button.
The plastic material and coating makes this toy super easy to clean and perfect to use with any sort of lube and toy cleaner. You can even wash it with a mild soap and let it air dry. Always remove the batteries while cleaning and when you're storing your toys away for awhile.
The ribbed g-spot vibe comes in a stardard plastic, clear non-discreet box. There is a small section on the back that has some additional info pertaining to the toy such as material info, and the waterproof finish. The vibe is placed in a shaped compartment that can be used to store the toy.
While I expected more with this toy, I was content with using it. The handle seems short but I read other reviews saying they thought it was a perfect length so I guess that's just my opinion. It's simple, easy to use, a breeze to clean and perfect to store so while the ribbed part isn't what I thought it would be, its a decent toy.
Follow-up commentaryI still like it2 months after original review
While I don't use this toy very often, it's still a great lil toy to have in my collection. It does what it's meant to and doesn't need all the extra buttons to get you off.
