Gino is definitely one of the best lovers I have had, if you can count silicone that vibrates as a lover! Soft, smooth, and blue, Gino sure did know how to smooth talk his way into my pants and then some! Who would have thought that a man who stands 6.5" tall and comes in a cute plastic box could be so debonair? He sure does know how to please.

Gino is designed to hook around the G-spot upon insertion. He measures at 6.5", as I stated before, but the insertable length is about 5". The cap provides adds the 1.5" of length to the toy. The shaft of the vibrator, including the curved head, is ribbed with curved lines for added texture. The added texture is not an overload and a good introduction to texture for those looking to experiment. Gino also provides seven different vibrations settings that can be turned on and controlled by the button at the base of the toy (located in the center of the cap). The button that controls the vibrations is also the on and off button. To turn the toy on, push the button on and continue to press it until you reach the vibration setting you would like. To turn Gino off, hold down the button and he will turn off after a few seconds. Now, the vibrations break down as follows:

1. Soft
2. Medium
3. Hard
4. Quick Pulsation
5. 4 Step Progression (3 soft pulses and 1 hard)
6. Progression from soft to medium followed by 2 hard pulses
7. Hard vibration, 5 pulses, and back to hard

Now, Gino is not very loud. So, if you are a discreet toy user, he definitely knows how to "keep it on the down-low." Even the hardest vibrations that he produces cannot be heard outside of the bedroom. Personally, I turned him on and let him sit out on my bed while I walked into the neighboring rooms. I heard nothing and was pleased.

Gino runs off of two AAA batteries that are easily placed inside. The cap at the base of the toy screws off and reveals the encasement for the batteries. If you look close enough on the white portion that lies under the cap, the +/- label for battery placement is located there. It's a bit hard to see if you aren't looking specifically for it. I will warn, though, that Gino is a bit of a pain in the ass when it comes to re-capping. I had to fiddle with the cap numerous times before I got it to fit back on so that I could use him. The cap still doesn't fit properly the way it does without batteries in, but the toy still works regardless. The quirky way that the cap fits has kept me from testing the waterproof ability of Gino. I would hate to ruin such a good toy because the cap is a bit wonky.

Now, what about cleaning after use? Since Gino is made of silicone, you can easily clean him off with warm water and soft soap. This is my preferred method of cleaning toys. If you prefer to use toy cleaner, that is fine, just be sure that it is compatible with silicone toys. The thing that I enjoy about using silicone is the fact that, before and after use, the toy retains no horrid smell. It honestly is virtually scentless.

But, what about lube, you might ask? Well, I wouldn't suggest using anything other than water based lubricant so that you do not ruin the silicone.

Gino isn't too fussy about where he rests. He is small enough to fit in a drawer or in a bag with the rest of your toys. He's even small enough to fit into a plastic baggie to keep from your other toys. Be warned, though, that he is not discreet for travel and you may want to proceed with caution in packing him so that he is concealed from view.

Now, I will say that I found Gino to be a bit lacking in regard to stimulating my G-spot. The vibrations can be felt evenly throughout the entire toy and are not lacking power. My G-spot is a bit harder to work and therefore did not respond much to him. My clitoris, however, is a different story. I have found Gino to be a wonderful clitoral vibrator and have grown fond of using him over my bullets.

Gino is a wonderful vibrator to add to your collection. He's versatile, strong, and will definitely leave you satisfied and ready for more. Look out boys, there's a new man on the block and he's bluer than your balls.

Gino is still my number one lover in my toy bag. He has yet to disappoint me and he doesn't tend to eat batteries like other toys of the past. He still has his shape and vibrates as hard as the day that I got him and use him for the first time. No complaints here!
