I was excited for the arrival of my G-spot Tickler, especially since the manufacturer claims it is “Japan's #1 Best Seller.” While I usually avoid jelly toys, I was intrigued by the shape of the g-spot tickler and wanted to see if it would live up to my expectations.

One desire I am always trying to satisfy is what I call a double whammy, clitoral stimulation with vaginal penetration; I like to feel full. After requesting and before receiving this toy, I had fantasies of pulling off a triple whammy with my partner.

The minute I opened the packaging, I was turned off by the smell of the jelly material. The G-spot Tickler was also smaller than I expected, hardly bigger than my thumb (when giving the thumbs up), but I held out it would pack a punch during quality alone time.

First, I gave the toy a good wash with some soap and water to clean it and to see if it would tone down the strong odor. I put the batteries in the control pack, worried for a moment that I had broken the battery cover (it snapped back into place), lay back on the bed, and waited for the magic to happen.

Maybe due to my height (5’10") or because I was doing something wrong, this toy did not match up well with my anatomy. The g-spot stimulator part of the toy was pretty soft (bendy not squishy) and took a few tries to insert with one hand, which immediately put me in a bad mood. I couldn’t feel any vibrations through this part of the toy, and it was very unsatisfying.

There is a vibrating egg in the base of the handle that provides mild vibration to the clit nubs. The nubs didn’t come anywhere near my clit; I had to take practically the thumb all the way out to get any satisfactory clit contact.

Frustrated, I changed the angle I was holding it at and tried thrusting it in and out, creating an unpleasant toilet plunger noise; nothing I attempted brought me any closer to cumming. Finally, I ripped the vibrating egg out of the tickler sleeve and used it to finish the job.

Compared to being inside the sleeve and muffled, the egg had pretty strong vibrations, and that did the trick. As stated on the packaging, the thumb controlled multi-speed control pack was easy to use with one hand, but I would suggest taking the batteries out when not using it since it could easily be turned on by accident.

Maybe my expectations were too high because I (incorrectly?) assumed that the packaging claim of the #1 best seller in Japan referred to the sex toy category. Possibly, it would work better on a shorter person. Either way, for me, this was a disappointing toy, and I suggest you consider something else.
