I have to admit, I’ve never before been pleasured by a vibe like this. I purchased a rabbit-type vibe a few years ago and got more pain from it than anything. So when my Eden Tropical G Pineapple arrived, I was curious as well as cautious.

The toy was packaged beautifully, and I eagerly opened it up. I noticed that, unlike many other new toys, it actually smelled pretty good. The toy comes not only with the g-spot dildo but with a small bullet that goes into the base of the toy that is supposed to hit your clit during playtime. The best part, however, was noticing that not only did the toy come with three of the small watch batteries, so that you could start playing immediately, it even came with a whole other set of batteries, so you can keep playing even after the bullet’s first set of batteries runs out. Talk about generous!

Later that evening, I hopped into the shower and called to my husband to get the toy. I soaped up while he got it ready to go. We noticed, unfortunately, that the bullet didn’t seem to work right. It would turn on before the top was screwed on, and it would sometimes stop working right in the middle of playtime. This, however, tends to be a serious problem with a lot of small bullets. Apparently, the mechanics of getting a bullet to work wirelessly is still one thing that eludes the sex industry.

Playtime in the bathroom was, suffice to say, not extremely enjoyable. I was able to get the dildo part in, but I couldn’t seem to get the right rhythm, and every time I did, the bullet would turn off. I was able, however, to palm the bullet and finish off. Even though it tends to be unreliable, it gives you a rocketing orgasm when it does work.

The next time I took it out was when I was home alone. This doesn’t happen too often in my home, so I was eager to get some use out of my new toy. I hit the bed and once again found that the toy just didn’t seem to do it for me. It definitely curved enough to hit the g-spot, but it took awhile to get in (due to its unique shape), and it wasn’t enough to get me where I wanted to go. Again, however, I took the bullet out, but this time I put my double-ended dildo in and used the bullet to have one of the best toy-related orgasms I’ve ever had.

In short, I found the Tropical G Pineapple to be a bit of a disappointment, unfortunately. Then again, as I said before, I’ve never really had good luck with toys that take care of both the inside and the outside at the same time. And even though the bullet is a bit unstable, it does the job beautifully.
