I wanted to try something different from my velvet vibe (the twist cap has cracked) and I had been pondering the turbo glider for a while since it has so many rave reviews. The one thing that kept me from buying it was that it is so darn ugly. I hate the color and its translucence, it just scream yuck and cheap to me. But I did purchase it and it was such a wise decision!

I have come to love its ugly color because of its functionality and shape. It has quickly become my favorite vibe. It is made out of a hard plastic that sort of makes me think of acrylic. It is smooth and hard and it runs on two AA batteries. Most important to me is that it is phthalates-free (YAY!). The batteries stay strong for a long time. I have used the vibe on the same batteries I think for up to 4 hours and it was still going strong!

It does not have any chemical smell and it has no taste. When using this vibe anally or if you intend to share it, it is a good precaution to put a condom on it considering it is somewhat porous. I will usually rinse it underwater and use before and after spray on my toy to keep it clean and shiny. It is safe to use any lube with this toy (except oil if you put a condom on it).

The dial-base is so much fun, I love vibes with dial bases and this one is wonderful. It is actually a little tight to twist so if any of you are worried that it will change vibration intensity mid-romp it is highly unlikely. This vibe is also waterproof. I found the little rubber ring under the cap to be unusually thin but the vibe has had no water in the battery compartment when fully submerged in water or when used in the shower.

This vibe is LOUD! It was not very loud when I got it but after a few solo sessions with it, it rumbles like a broken electric razor that you think might just explode in your hands. It can be heard through a closed door when it is placed under my heavy bed spread. Maybe that can distract others from fully appreciating the deep vibrations this toy provides but it doesn’t bother me. Actually it kind of turns me on when I think my neighbors can hear me and it turns them on and so on. Like a never ending chain of arousal, yee-ha .

When used anally the vibes are way too intense for me. Evidently the turbo glider does not have a flared base that makes it safe for anal play but if you only insert the first few bulbs and your hands are lube-free you are in for stimulating fun. The bulbs feel nice anally and vaginally, as well as when used for clitoral stimulation. I have not tried this for DP since I only feel comfortable using a plug or a dildo with a flared base (it is safer).

I haven't tried it on other areas of the body such as the back of the neck or on the back itself but it is feasible that it may be effective in relieving sore muscles (provided the sound of the vibe doesn't bother the receiver and giver of the massage).

As other reviewers have mentioned it does stoke my g-spot as well but I have to angle it slightly upward for it to do that. In general I use my vibes for clitoral stimulation while I use my glass dildo to stimulate my g-spot. The curves on the end of the vibe (where the motor is contained) seem to align perfectly well with my clit for a mind blowing orgasm.

I had lost my ability gush and this vibe brought forth such pleasurable orgasms that are so intense. I have never before gushed so much, so far, in such little time until I used this vibe. It really feels so good every time I cum, I could cry from the pleasure. I will usually have an orgasm in twenty minutes of stimulation and it still takes the same amount of time but the orgasms come from deeper and really shake your whole body.

It has become my shower buddy, and the vibe I reach for every time I go on a solo mission for pleasure. My partner is not into toys and finds it quite ugly but he is happy that I love it and that it brings me so much pleasure when he is unavailable. I have to say, to all of you have this vibe on your wish list do yourselves a favor and buy this thing it will be the best purchase you have ever made.

The turbo glider packs a punch, and it really delivers when I am looking for a quick rush of pleasure to my loins. I love it for those times where I need stronger vibes. However it is no longer my go to vibe anymore. My body now demands gentler vibes (and quieter ones too), so it is currently on the back burner for those exceptional moments.
