The Crystal Charm G is great for beginners. This toy is made from TPE, which is a rubber polymer blend. I do like this particular material because it is not affected by body heat and remains cool, and it doesn't have any funny smell. The shape and material make it easy to clean because there aren't a lot of details on the toy. The plastic dial at the base controls the multiple speeds of the vibe, and it also serves as the battery compartment cap. The battery compartment is easy for installing and replacing batteries.

The vibe is easy to wash with toy cleaners or mild soap. You can use silicone- and water-based lubes with this vibe. I like the toy even though it doesn't have very powerful vibration. When I first picked it up, it felt light in weight, smooth, and was easy to grip. I used it the first time with a water-based lube, but the lube didn't seem to last or provided much of a sensation. The third time I used this toy, I used it with a silicone-based lube; it lasted longer and seemed to work better with the toy. You have to make sure you use a mild soap with TPE as it cleans so much better.

The dial controller at the base is hard plastic, it's removable so that you can insert the two AA batteries; I use my toy with regular Energizer batteries and the batteries lasted for months. I gave my girlfriend one of this vibe for her birthday, because she had talked about wanting to try a toy. She told me the vibration isn't very powerful, but it's perfect for her comfort level as a new sex toy user. I would recommend this toy to beginners and first-time users of sex toys.

In a pinch this toy would come in handy. I only ever used it again because the others were packed away, and it still had full batteries. I really have to be in the mood for penetration orgasms, rather than using clitoral stimulation. The bullet at the tip of the shaft has a low vibration, however I needed deeper vibration from the bullet to stimulate my g-spot. It was enough to get me more in the mood, while I was also using clit stimulation. So yes in a pinch it just might work for you, with help from other methods.
