The G4 Tiger is definitely one of my must-have vibrators. I wanted something that was quiet as I live with roommates but still packed enough punch to get the job done. I was able to splurge a little, and I am SO glad that I did. The G4 is definitely a G-Spot vibe by nature, and when paired with a g-spot enhancing gel or cream (I love "That's the Spot"), it really makes the experience that much more pleasurable. You could probably use the G4 for anal play, but personally I found the size a bit daunting for that use.

This vibe feels wonderful when dragged across your outer labia and clit, and penetration is much easier when paired with a lube of some sort. The toy has a bit of a matte finish that tends to make it feel a bit dry, but this is easily remedied with a drop or two of lube. Originally I was under the impression that you had to insert the toy all the way in to feel the clit stimulator at the base of it, but this is certainly not the case with the G4. The shaft is flexible enough to where you can find the perfect spot when inserted and gently flex the toy so that the clit bump works its magic on your clit. I found that while having it inserted, a side-to-side motion with the clit bump feels amazing and will usually produce a pretty awesome orgasm for me within minutes.

My partner used this on me from behind after using my g-spot enhancing cream, and I thought I saw stars. Overall, this toy is definitely worth the money, especially being rechargeable. Nothing is more frustrating than having batteries die when you're *sooo* close to an orgasm!

The G4 Tiger is made of a silky smooth material. It has a matte finish which will definitely show evidence of earlier play, so frequent cleaning is a definite. The ridges are gentle but definitely deep enough to be felt when thrusting it inside of you, and the underside of the shaft is fairly smooth. The handle is a glossy plastic with buttons that light up when you pick up the toy or grip the handle (I kid you not; it's awesome, especially in the dark!), and overall, the toy is very aesthetically pleasing.

There's enough curve in the last few inches of the shaft to wreak wonderful havoc on your g-spot, and while the shaft is flexible, there's enough firmness there to provide pressure right where you need it. The toy glides in and out easily, and I did not find any burs or imperfections in the finish.

The G4 Tiger is made of soft, squeezable silicone that warms up nicely to body temperature once inserted. This was my first G-Spot vibrator, and as a beginner to the world of the G-spot, I was glad I chose this one. The size was a bit daunting at first, but once I warmed myself up and went slow on penetration, the G4 proved to be just the right size. It provides a very "full" feeling without being too much, and for G-Spot play, it does its job very well.

I chose the G4 in navy blue, which turned out to be a deep royal blue that is absolutely gorgeous. The control pad lights up in the dark just enough to make the controls visible but not enough to where you could land a plane in the dark in your bedroom. Charging the toy is a breeze as it comes with a magnetic charger that only clips on one way in one place.

I definitely need constant clitoral contact to achieve orgasm, and I was able to get exactly what I wanted from the G4 Tiger -- deep vibrations with a choice of multiple vibration patterns that resonate easily throughout the entire toy, G-Spot stimulation, as well as vibrating attention for my clit. Add all of this up, and you get toe-curling orgasms that are enough to leave you breathless -- at least until you're ready for more!

The light-up display and rechargeable functions of this toy are definitely two of my favorites. From what I can tell, there may very well be two motors (one in the clit stimulator and one halfway down the shaft), although I could be wrong. Either way, the vibrations are definitely well-felt throughout the entire toy.

The first setting is very quiet, a lazy bee at most, and even the highest setting is perhaps two and a half bees. I can comfortably use this toy in my room with the door open under the blankets without worrying about someone walking down the hall and wondering what in tarnation that noise is. The speed or intensity of the functions are not changeable, which is not a bad thing because they don't leave you wanting for much in and of themselves. They range from everything to a powerhouse rumble (maybe three bees at most), rollercoaster, a throbbing (my favorite so far), as well as a stop-start-stop-start.

The controls are very easy to use. You hold down the plus button for a moment to begin the ride, and the toy comes to life. If you press the function button, conveniently located at the top of the toy controls, you can cycle through the functions. To turn off the toy completely, you simply press the minus button until the toy shuts off.

When you insert the toy and get it positioned correctly, the controls are very nicely located on the handle of the loop. I found the my thumb came to rest right on top of them, which makes changing strides during play a breeze.

I haven't tried to use the G4 Tiger in the water yet, but I get the feeling that it would be equally amazing as it is on land.

Care and maintenance seems pretty easy. Since the G4 Tiger is waterproof, you can easily use some antibacterial soap and warm water (if I can't find any antibacterial soap, I actually use baby shampoo to clean it off) or toy cleaner. After play, I usually take it in the bathroom with me, lather it up, rinse it off, and return it to my "Drawer o' Fun," where it hangs out with its deviant counterparts. I don't bother putting it in a bag or anything, mostly because I don't have one for it yet. It does tend to attract dust and lint, although as much as I've been using it, dust is the last of my worries!

The lube I use on it is a water-based warming lube that's actually strawberry flavored. I put a few drops on my fingers, grease it up the way you would your lover's penis, and gently glide that bad boy in. So far, it doesn't seem to mind at all.

The packaging amused me to some degree. The box is very pretty, not entirely obvious unless you know what products Fun Factory makes. The actual box has a sleeve that it slides out of where the toy comes packaged in a plastic tray of sorts. There were instructions in enough languages that it was almost annoying to find English, but it was definitely not as obvious as some of the toy packaging that I've seen. If someone didn't know what it was and picked it up without taking off the sleeve, they might not know what it was.

The only thing I can really say about the G4 that I didn't like was the size (at first). At first glance, it's a bit daunting to someone who's never owned a toy of its kind before. I've since then changed my mind and greedily enjoy every bit of it.

After taking this bad boy out of the packaging and feeling the roar of the tiger in my hand, I was eager to take it out for a test ride. My boyfriend used it on me from behind, and I was amazed at how good it felt! I normally use it by myself in bed, and I've found it very-user friendly, and honestly, I can't wait to get the next opportunity to use it.
