Checking the mailbox anxiously every day, I was very excited to receive my first toy to review, the Flexi Ribbed Lover|Flexi ribbed lover vibrator. Upon opening, it had a pretty strong rubber odor but nothing some toy cleaner didn't tame.

The feature I was most excited about was that it was flexible. You can bend the shaft any which way to maximize g-spot stimulation|G-Spot Stimulation - G-Spot 101 Guide. I bent it all the way to a 90 degree angle, and it stayed--pretty impressive.

The control buttons on the base are a little on the tough side to maneuver in the middle of action. They are kind of small, close together, and they take a firm push to change functions.

On my first use with my husband, I let him be the one in control; normally, I like to supervise as I need a lot of stimulation. He gave it a slight bend and kept the ribbed part against my clit and the head of the shaft barely at my lips. Rocking it back and forth was magical, but it did require stopping to change speeds.

I really liked all the pulses, but for someone like me who nearly needs a jackhammer on your clit, they were a tease. A very good tease but not enough to seal the deal. On the medium steady level, I got off fairly quickly, considering how long a strong bullet can take.

As far as penetrating goes, bending it for the g-spot was awesome but lacked the direct clit stimultation like that the rabbit vibes|Dual action vibrators & Rabbit style vibes provide. I've used it numerous times--penetrating, just rubbing my clit--and every way was amazing. With a little bend, hitting my g-spot and a finger in my ass, I had the most intense orgasm I've had in ages. The only downer was having to stop to change functions; no smooth transition.
