Upon first laying eyes on the Powder Pearl G-spot, the primary thing I had to say about it was, "Oooh." I eagerly showed the picture to my friend Mike and his reaction was, "that's nice... it looks weird, though." It's been my experience that in the world of sex toys, "weird" typically translates to "good".

I finally received my new toy and eagerly tore open the box. The color and shape of the vibrating dildo were aesthetically pleasing and the sensual curve looked like it really had potential. The toy also came with its own cute little pink, faux-satin drawstring bag. I wasn't too incredibly pleased with the material. My very first toy was made of the same material - some kind of smooth, scented rubber - so I was already familiar with it. I had sworn a long time ago that I would never buy a similar sex toy. I guess I've just been spoiled by high-quality materials such as jellies, TPR rubber, and silicone, because the Powder Pearl just feels too fake and plastic-like. If you squeeze it, it feels like it's filled with a piece of foam rubber. It's flexible, but not incredibly flexible. If you bend it too far, it will literally bend with a crease. The material only seems to have two advantages: it's not tacky in any way (making it clean and easy to care for) and it's waterproof.

In action, the toy didn't make much more of an impression either. The toy is covered with a lot of textures and bumps, but most of the bumps and ribs are closer to the base. I found that all the bumps didn't make much of a difference; and because of the degree of curvature on this toy (which doesn't seem to conform to female anatomy very well), unless you are either really eager or possibly superhuman, you probably won't be able to get enough of it inside you to get anything out of the textured base.

I understand the curve of the Powder Pearl is intended to help the toy stimulate the G-spot. While the curve did help it hit my G-spot, nothing about it has actually managed to help me attain any kind of real pleasure from G-spot stimulation, and certainly nothing remotely close to a G-spot orgasm. It didn't even really seem to help when I turned the vibration on, even though the vibration did make it feel immensely more pleasurable.

Despite all of this, I would say the Powder Pearl is still worth a try; in certain circumstances. This toy is probably a better fit for people who are either inexperienced with using sex toys and want to get their feet wet, or people looking to buy their very first dildo or vibrator. It's a nice toy for beginners since the material is very easy to care for and it has simple functions. I will say that I would not recommend this particular toy for people or couples who are experienced with sex toys. If they're anything at all like me, they'll be a little bit disappointed.
