It’s definitely well-made. This isn’t some cheap product that looks or feels like it’s going to break after only a couple of uses. I’ve had those and I can tell that this isn’t one of them.

First of all, let’s look at the battery compartment. If you’ve ever owned a vibrator, you know that a bad battery compartment can ruin the entire toy – nothing is more frustrating than being near your climax only to have to stop and tinker with the batteries. This toy doesn’t have that problem. The batteries are inserted into a clip that is then inserted into the base of the toy. The base then screws back on securely; I had no problems with it coming loose or shifting around, and the batteries stay firmly in place.

The Plain G is shaped to stimulate, as the name implies, the g-spot. The end scoops in and is textured on the back of the scoop for even more stimulation (make sure you clean that textured part extra well!). I’ve found that this scoop can even be used to snuggle around the clit for clitoral stimulation if you don’t want to insert it.

The body of this vibrator is made from TPR. TPR is a strong material that’s firm but flexible; it’s easy to insert but fills you up and isn’t ‘floppy’. It’s a step up from jelly, rubber, and cyberskin toys but isn’t as safe as pure silicone or metal products; it’s still porous and can’t be disinfected. Condoms should be used to protect yourself when sharing, using in multiple orifices, or for easier cleanup. Silicone and water-based lubricants can be used with this product.

The Plain G offers three speeds of vibrations. The first is quiet, the second is a bit louder, and the third is quite loud. It’s not the noisiest toy I own, but I wouldn’t want to use it on the two higher settings with someone in the next room. The vibrations it produces, though, are quite nice. The first setting is nice and the other two are powerful. It really packs a punch, without being obscenely loud or rattling like some lower-quality vibes.

The only complaint I have about this product, and its biggest downfall, is the single button. The same button turns it on and changes the settings. This sucks. You can’t just turn it off immediately; unless you’re on the highest setting, you have to go through the other settings first before it turns off. Since it’s positioned on the end, it’s very easy to bump any way you use it. If you’re on your back, the covers might hit it. If you’re your stomach or side, you might hit in on the bed. You can’t prop it up against something or ride it without the setting jumping around or turning off.
