I have bought a couple California Exotics toys before and wasn't thrilled with the quality of the products. I got a couple of vibrators that were very loud (though one was a bullet, to be fair) and one of them had that transparent gel material that everything seems to stick to. Anyway, they managed to surprise me with this product.

I bought this recently because I've never had a G-spot vibrator and I am pretty pleased with it.

I have thin walls, so noise was a big concern. I would say that this vibrator is powerful (but not bullet-powerful, if that's what you're looking for) and not as loud as you would expect, though it does help muffle the noise that it is used internally. The sound can be covered up fine with music.

The texture of it is similar to silicone but the core is hard and inflexible. I like the smooth texture of it. I like the size, which creates a feeling of fullness but also allows for movement. It has a small seam, but I didn't feel it as I was using it, so that wasn't an issue. I like that it is very easy to clean (just soap and water).

The battery cover at the bottom seems to have been well thought out. It is smooth like the rest of the toy and doesn't have that cheap plastic dial like some vibrators do.

I like that there are so many functions. So far I have only switched off between a few of them, but I enjoyed using it. The only annoying thing is when you accidentally press the button and have to click through all the settings to get back to the one you want, but I don't know if there is really any way around that. I mean, it would be far too confusing to have 7 small buttons at the bottom, so one button is probably as intuitive as you can get with this kind of toy.

This was the first non-luxury toy I'd bought in a while (I had to go buy batteries), so obviously my expectations weren't terribly high, but I'm pretty happy with it so far. It seems durable. It isn't as "buzzy" as some toys. It has more functions than most toys in this price range do. The texture is nice and easy to clean (though not as flexible as I'd prefer). The battery cap is as sleek as the rest of the toy. If you're looking for something on the cheaper side, this is probably one of the better products you can get.

I've used this toy more, and there are still a lot of things I like about it- the size and the sleekness, and the vibrations feel nice (not bullet-strong and not weak). It is easy to insert and move around and easy to clean.
But the one bone I have to pick with it is the g-spot point, combined with the hard core. I wish the core were either softer or there were a larger g-spot surface to make thrusting easier and to make it feel less like I'm stabbing myself sometimes.
But it still seems like a well-made toy and I enjoy using it. It's just not the greatest toy for g-spot stimulation.
