The Girdle is a traditional vibrator made by Touche' which is actually part of Shots Media. It is made of medical grade silicone and designed for both vaginal and clitoral use. While it does not have a curve to stimulate the G-spot, the top 2.5" is flexible enough to bend a slight amount and hit the G-spot if used correctly.

This is a great toy for anyone who likes larger girth or textures because it is 1 5/8" wide and has a velvety texture that is ribbed thanks to the lined portion in the front which replicates the ties in an old fashioned girdle.

This toy is not recommended for anal use since it does not have a flared base and it is not waterproof, although it is splashproof.

I love the velvety texture of this silicone. It does have some drag to it but I would say that from a scale of 1 to 5 with 5 being a lot of drag and one being no drag, this is probably about a 2.5 or 3.

I love the texture of the "strings" of the girdle in the front as we use it internally. The way my husband uses it,they rub against my opening and it is almost like scratching an itch as he thrusts in and out. It is one of the most unique textures I have experienced in all of the vibrators that we own.

I would like to point out that this is made of food-grade material that is hypo-allergenic, latex free, non-porous and phthalates free.

There are two or three reasons that I love the design of this vibrator. For one thing, the top does not come to a tipped end (like a tube of lipstick) but is rounded at the top and more like the bulbed shape of a real penis head.

In addition, while this toy has a large girth of 1 5/8", it also has a total length of 8 1/4" of which 7" is insertable. I sometimes have problems with shorter toys because as I get excited, my muscles will pull the toy in too far.

I would definitely not say that this toy is discreet or easy to hide but you could just toss it in a drawer if you wished. If I was traveling, I would probably put it in my checked luggage if I wasn't afraid of it getting stolen.

My husband likes it because the handle is wide enough and long enough for him to grip onto as he's using it to stimulate me. However, it can get slippery if we're not careful but since this is a longer total length we rarely have problems with losing this inside me.

This was made with a supersonic motor which I believe makes it very very quiet to use. It is not recommended that women use it if they are pregnant or menstruating, although I do not understand why.

This vibrator has the same vibration settings as The Opis, another vibrator in this line of toys. The ten settings that it has are:

1 Low Rumble Vibration
2 Medium Rumble Vibration
3 High Rumble Borderline Buzzy Vibration
4 A 3-Count High Setting Pulsation
5 A 1-Count High Setting Pulsation
6 3 High Setting Pulsations and a Low-High Escalation
7 High Setting Vibration for a 4-Count, a single High Setting Pulsation; Repeat
8 2 Pulsations then a High-Low-High Escalation
9 A Single Pulsation followed by 4 more quicker Pulsations then holding the vibration for a 2 count.
10 Escalation Low-High followed by 2 Pulsations

The control is a push button at the bottom of the shaft. You basically unscrew the cap, insert the two AA batteries with the "+" pointing downwards and then make sure you screw the cap on tightly. Use the push button to cycle through the various cycles or hold it down for 3 seconds to make it turn off.

This toy is splash proof and does well in the shower, but it is not waterproof and should not be submerged.

The vibrations themselves are felt throughout the whole shaft, but they are strongest in the middle to top portions.

I personally like the third and last setting the best.

The Girdle is very easy to clean and take care of. Simply wash it off with water and soap, use a toy cleaner or use a toy cleaning cloth. In spite of the fact that this toy is made of silicone, do not boil it or toss it in the dishwasher because there is a motor inside and you do not want to ruin it.

Since this toy is made of silicone, it is important that you do not use silicone lubes with it. I find that water based lubes resolve any minor drag problems it may have.

The Girdle is clearly visible in the front of the box, but the box itself is very elegant with a black background and white embossed letting and design. There are two manuals inside which contain instructions in 8 languages.

I also would like to point out that there is a 1 year warranty on this toy.

We have found the wiring for the Girdle to be a bit more "iffy" than the Opis that we have. We are returning it for another model just in case this one is defective. It worked long enough to get me hooked on it and then it started acting up.
