This is a great first vibe, and I still play with Gino even though I have bigger toys with more bells and whistles. If you like strong vibes on your clit, use that hooked end on yourself. You won't be sorry, I promise. Even though he isn't the biggest boy around, he does have some good vibrations and a beautiful exterior.

Pros
Nice size for beginners, beautiful color, strong vibes
Cons
Just wish I could have had a g-spot orgasm with Gino
This is a 100% silicone g-spot vibrator. It is a good size for beginners, and I actually bought this because it is similar in size to my boyfriend. I enjoy the different vibration functions, but haven't been able to get a g-spot orgasm with the toy. I do, however, get off big time when I use this on my clit and for thrusting. If you're the type of girl who likes size this isn't the vibe for you. But if you like a modest size that is more realistic, you might enjoy this toy. I do recommend it to newbies though. It will definitely get your feet wet and have you cumming back for more. After my foray into sex toys began with this one, I've expanded both in size and type of toy. I still use my lovely Gino (it is such a pretty shade of blue) and he gets me off every time.
This is a velvety silicone toy that has just a bit of drag to it. Use only water based lubes with the toy, and if you decide to share make sure you use a condom. Gino can be sanitized with a 10% bleach solution, but I've only used my antibacterial toy cleaner on it. It will collect lint, dust, and hair, so make sure you wash before and after use. I haven't noticed a smell or even a taste, and the texture is just fine. I don't think anyone will have a problem with it. It is firm yet flexible and vibrations are good throughout.
I like the way Gino looks. He's not really realistic looking but he does measure closely to the length and girth of my boyfriend, which is what I was looking for. I love, love, love the color! The blue is just gorgeous. I believe anyone would be happy to add Gino to their toy box, but especially beginners. The total length of this vibe is 6 1/2 inches with 5 inches being insertable, so it won't be too hard to hide. I think he will be travel friendly as well. Just remove the batteries.
The vibrations are felt all through this powerful little vibe, but especially at the hooked tip. I place this on my clit and it feels phenomenal! I do wish the g-spot tip could actually get me off the way its supposed to, but I just can't seem to achieve that with Gino. This toy isn't very noisy at all, which is great because I have roommates that I would rather not have to feel embarrassed around. I've not used Gino in the tub or shower, even though its supposed to be waterproof. Mainly because while washing I've noticed water is kind of getting in around the screw on cap for the battery compartment. It doesn't get past the O-ring but it does make me a bit nervous.
When I clean this vibe I just use warm water and my antibacterial toy cleaner. After drying I return it to the plastic clam shell it came in, and that seems to keep it from gathering dust and hair. You will want to use only water based lubes with this vibe so that you don't ruin the material. Also be careful when storing toys together, because some materials will melt or leach onto other toys, ruining both. I just keep all my toys by themselves in their original packaging for now until I get a toy box to store them in. After that I will probably either wrap each toy, or purchase bags for each toy, just to protect my investments.
Gino came in a plastic clam shell that was slid down inside a cardboard box, with large windows cut out so you could see the product. I use the plastic clam shell and that seems to keep it dust and hair free which is great. If I was given this as a gift I think all that would be needed is a gift bag and some pretty paper to match. The box is pretty and presents the toy nicely.
Good for storage
Recyclable
Would make a nice gift

I still love my very first vibe. It feels fantastic on my clit. I still recommend this to anyone looking to get their first vibe.

Good review! I included this toy in an article about beginner toys. Gino is strong enough (I think even beginners should have nice healthy toys) made of a safe material, a nice workable size and not very expensive.
I'm glad you liked this toy so much.
I keep my toys in storage bags like this one Edenfantasys Storage or Sugar Saks, (which Eden doesn't carry ) I am SO glad you are enjoying this toy so much. It's a great little toy.
