The Couture collection Cyclone G-spot vibe by Cal Exotics (wow, what a mouthful of a name) was not exactly what I was expecting. Again, I didn't thoroughly read through the description of this toy before getting it, so I thought it would be MUCH smaller. The picture and name of G-spot toy made me think the Cyclone would be a cute petite little toy. But uh uh. The Cyclone is a big boy. It is 9.5 inches total, and 6 and 1/4 of that are insertable. At the widest point, it's 1.5 inches wide. The top tapers off a little but it's still a bit wide.

Right out of the box I didn’t notice any particularly strong smell off of it, which is nice. The design of the Cyclone is really pretty; it does look couture. The battery compartment takes a bit of maneuvering to get into- it took me a few minutes to pop the top off. It takes 2 AA batteries. Because of the placement of the on/off and function buttons, I highly recommend taking out the batteries if you plan on traveling with this toy. There is no way to lock this toy, so it accidentally turning on is very possible.

The Cyclone is mostly made of silicone. I think the base of it is just plastic. However I can’t say I’d recommend boiling or putting this toy in a dishwasher, because there are vibrating parts inside the silicone. Just past the curved part at the top of the dildo is a harder area. (If you squeeze the toy at different points, you’ll see that most areas are pretty squishy.) This harder part is a vibrator. Other than right at the specific area, the toy is somewhat flexible and a little squishy if you give it a good squeeze.

One great feature about the Cyclone is that it’s waterproof. It can be used in the shower or tub... and you can never have too many waterproof toys.

There are two buttons on this toy: power, and speed/function. The function button is the big one at the base of the toy, and the power button is smaller, and higher up on the handle/base of the toy. The speeds/functions of the Cyclone are low, medium, and high regular vibrations (steady). Then there is a series of different pulsing vibrations. On the highest vibe setting it was pretty loud, but also nice and strong.

Overall, it's a good toy, just not the best at g-spot stimulation. The vibes are strong, the material is safe, and the texture is nice.

Unfortunately, as a G-spot toy, the Couture collection Cyclone just didn’t cut it. It’s too long for my G-spot, and awkward to only put in the tip. Because it is somewhat squishy and flexible, it would make for a nice standard vibrating dildo, except for the curved G-spot failure tip. I also found that having the speed/function button right at the base of the toy (aka- my handle) makes using this thing a pain in the ass. I kept accidentally hitting the function button, and would have to turn it off and back on again, or cycle through all the settings to get back to the one I wanted.

This toy has also been tossed into my retired toys box. The G-spot curve is too squishy to really stimulate the G-spot, and it's also too far up the base to reach the G-spot when the toy is inserted more than just a couple inches.
