When I opened the package, the first thing I noticed is that the Slimline G is bigger than I expected it to be. For whatever reason, my brain had interpreted the online images to be representative of a pocket-sized vibrator with a smallish head. The Slimline G isn't huge, but the head is thicker than I imagined, and it definitely isn't pocket-sized.

The second thing I noticed, after I had put in two AA batteries and turned it on, is that the motor is surprisingly powerful (and noisy). There isn't a large difference in the intensity between the low setting and the high setting; both are pretty buzzy. When I opened up the bottom to put the batteries in, the black waterproof ring seal fell right off. So, mine isn't waterproof. I also found the shaft to be slightly too small for the batteries: when you put the first one in, it doesn't fall to the bottom so you can put the second one in. It gets stuck and you have to use the second battery to shove the first one down the shaft. Likewise, they don't come out without a fight. I must have shook the damn thing for about a minute before one of the batteries was far enough out that I could grab it. Annoying.

So, then I finally got down to business. I started on the lowest setting (it's a twist dial, so it's really more of a continuum than separate settings), which felt very good all over my body and through my underwear. I lubed the toy up and tried it as what it's intended for: a g-spot vibe. I have to say, despite all the little annoyances up to that point, it felt *really* nice inside. The fact that it's made of hard plastic meant that there was very little give, which was great for finding and applying pressure to my g-spot. I had a pretty nice orgasm pretty quickly.

I have also found that this vibrator is, on the high setting, very good for clit stimulation also. It does the job very quickly this way, too. All in all, it's not the best vibe out there, but it works and is cheap. I just can't take mine in the shower. The Marble Slimline G is also not the best vibe for discretion. I ended up using it under covers with a fan going since I have roommates.
