I was really excited when I saw that I was getting the Passion Dial G-spot vibrator from California Exotics. It looked like a fun toy with a great cause. The box arrived, and I immediately opened it for inspection. The toy had a good concept with shape and such, but I was concerned about the girth of the toy, as it is bigger than I would normally enjoy.

I noticed a smell to the material, but just figured it needed a good washing before use. After cleaning it really well, I grabbed a bottle of lube and was ready for action. This vibrator does not have the conventional button to turn it on; it has a vertical dial on the side near the bottom. Although convenient for control and orientation of the toy, I did not like this feature because of the risk of harboring bacteria from play. I don't like holes or hiding places in my toys.

I inserted the toy into my pussy and turned it on. I could feel a little vibration but not much of anything near the G-spot area. I worked on getting it into place and became frustrated. This vibrator is bottom heavy and clumsy. My husband took over, and he moved the vibrator further in, pulled it out, turned it this way and that way, but he just wasn't hitting the spot that he hits each and every time on his own. As he increased the intensity, I felt stronger vibrations but again not where it needed to be.

We decided to try the toy as clitoral stimulation. I noticed the vibrator had an odd smell. My husband described it as a perm solution smell. The smell was fairly strong and distracting. I continued to work on my clit while my husband spooned me and entered me from behind. As he worked me, I finally was able to have an orgasm. It wasn't earth shattering or memorable. It just was.

I was disappointed in this toy. It will not be a frequent addition to my bedroom sports. I may try it again, maybe alone. I'm not sure what to do about the smell of the material though. That could be a deal breaker in my book. Overall, I would rate it two stars, three vrooms (the vibration is strong, but not in the right places), and three bees.

Since writing my first review on this product, I've only attempted to try it out once. It just doesn't do it for me and is taking up space. Time to send it to the garbage. I still believe that the controller on it can harbor bacteria, making the product unsafe.
