Sensory teasing and foreplay are fun with the iTap G-Vibe. The shape is tailored to G-spot stimulation and also stimulating the surrounding area while targeting that sweet spot. I would not use this as a discovery tool for my G-spot, but after I have learned to locate and target the area this is a good warm up vibrator. With the temperamental controls, I found it almost impossible to orgasm using the G-vibe but had a lot of fun with it as foreplay.

This can be used for external anal stimulation, but is not a safe penetrating item. There is no base and the smaller size may allow for slipping. You would not want to end up in the ER getting this one removed!! Sensory teasing can be very enjoyable and unpredictable with the 5 patterns but clitoral stimulation, well, that depends on the person using it. I could not enjoy this vibe as a clitoral stimulator since the tip is so pointy and hard.

The iTap G-Vibe is made from hard ABS plastic and has Velvet Cote covering the shaft. Velvet Cote adds a velvety texture to the hard plastic, making it more stimulating and pleasant against your skin. The velvety coating also adds a slight amount of drag but does not add any plushness to the item.

This material rates an 8 on the material safety scale, is non-porous and is easily cleaned after use. You can use toy cleaners and alcohol to sanitize the material but do not bleach or boil this! Sharing could be an option, but make sure you use a condom. This coating will discolor if stored with materials of other colors--so keep it separated.

This material is fun for beginner to advanced users and is a pleasing, sensual and velvety addition to the other materials in your collection. For those who are trying to discover their G-spot this one might be a bit too hard and pointy, so proceed with caution when you are trying this out until you get used to the shape and hardness.

An average, or medium sized vibrator, the iTap G-Vibe measures in at 7 1/2" long and is 1" in diameter throughout the shaft. The curved tip starts at 1" diameter where it leaves the shaft and tapers down to 1/4" at the very tip. The curve is about 1" on the outside and is 1/2" long inside the curve.

The shape is pretty basic for a G-spot vibrator and works fairly well at stimulating the shallow or deeper G-spot and surrounding area. I would not recommend this for an anal penetration since there is no flare or base. Clitoral stimulation is either hit or miss, I personally found it to be a miss. The rigidness and small tip made using it in that area pretty painful.

Obviously a vibrator or sexual toy, the G-vibe would be good for traveling only if you removed the batteries (a must, since it is touch sensitive!), and had it inside a zipped pocket, pouch or other concealed method. A person spotting this will know exactly what the purpose is, which could be potentially embarrassing to both people.

Twist the base of the G-Vibe off, add 2 AA batteries and replace the bottom. This does not use batteries as rapidly as other vibrators unless you forget to remove them and it vibrates unexpectedly. The noise level is fairly quiet, I would safely say it would definitely not be heard over four feet from you and never through a closed door.

Touch the bottom of the base lightly to turn the vibrations on, change patterns and to turn it off. You must cycle through all 5 patterns to reach the off setting. Holding the vibrator near the base while thrusting, rubbing or otherwise playing with it can change the patterns if you slightly touch the bottom. This happened to me continually, to the point where I was concentrating so much on avoiding the base I could not orgasm.

The vibrations are comparable to most basic vibrators, nothing overly powerful, but very decent in strength. They are a bit light and buzzy, so they do not penetrate very well. The 5 patterns are: 1. Low steady vibrations - 2. Medium steady vibrations - 3. Two short & one long pulse pattern - 4. Short, rapid pulses - 5. One high & one medium pulse.

Wash thoroughly in warm, soapy water and rinse well. You can either let it air dry or use a soft cloth. Do not get any water in the battery compartment, which is easy as long as you double check the tightness prior to washing. I go back over this with a toy cleaner for sanitization.

Store this either in the cardboard box it arrived in or inside a toy pouch. I keep this separated from my other toys so it does not absorb colors from them--this makes the surface look awful and may be damaging as well.

Use water or silicone based lube with this toy. I recommend water based due to easy clean up and also I mix my toy materials when I play and do not want to wash off between vibrators. REMOVE THE BATTERIES--this will start vibrating if anything touches the base!!! (I thought my dresser drawer was possessed the first night I played with this....)
