CarnalNation

The Gyro-G Waterproof Vibrator by California Exotic Novelties is what one might call a down and dirty diamond in the rough. The flimsy plastic packaging and plain-Jane instruction manual leave something to be aesthetically desired but what lies inside is truly a treasure.

Now, this Contessa has “cum” across some pretty fancy finds in her time with CarnalNation. That said, the Gyro-G retails for only $24 and still manages to trump 'em all. In fact, the G quickly became my go-to toy and still never ceases to satisfy.

Despite having a mere three vibrating speeds, this little purple powerhouse packs enough punch to get the job done every time. Just over five inches long and approximately an inch-and-a-half wide at its widest point, the Gyro-G is curvy in all the right places. My favorite part of the G's seductive shape is the come-hither tip, which undoubtedly is designed to hit your G-spot but also bears an uncanny resemblance to the curved fingertip of an attentive lover.

Like most ladies, in order to get myself going—before going in for the kill, so to speak—I generally want/need to take some time “warming the waters.” My middle finger usually does the trick real slick, slowly sliding up and down and around my clit 'til I'm nice and wet and ready to fuck myself—or get fucked. Well, the curve of the Gyro-G's tip mimics the curve of my gently bent finger, initially inviting my body to react to that familiar feeling, then to enjoy the added vibration sensations, inevitably bringing me from Zero to Flirty in seconds flat.

Once I've spent some time teasing my clit with this tantalizing toy and begin to work the vibrator inside me, I generally come within seconds. The curvy tip that works so well on my clit does, in fact, work wonders on my G-spot, as well! In fact, I have yet to last beyond three or four strokes before reaching orgasm.

The “novelty massager” boasts a soft rubber coating (check!) and “whisper quiet” vibrations. Maaaaybe a stage whisper, but still... Turn on a little mood music and you're good to go at it in relatively silent secrecy!

Although I've personally never been a big fan of underwater play, the waterproof aspect of the Gyro-G is super helpful when it comes time for clean-up. And for those ladies who like to love themselves up during bath time, no need to worry about short circuits. So splish-splash away, sisters! Just don't forget to stock on up on AA batteries.

California Exotic Novelties' Dream Massager, The "G," comes in an easy-to-open clear plastic box. The vibrator is a pretty shade of purple that coordinates nicely with the writing on the box. The writing indicates the enclosed vibrator has "Gyrating Rippling Action," "Soft Rubber Cote" (a trademarked term), and is "Whisper Quiet," "Safe and Pure,"  and waterproof. Also on the box, which would not make the best permanent storage because of its flimsy structure, is a warning that the toy contained therein is a novelty product intended for external use only. The box indicates the toy was made in China.

Once I had this little vibrator home I decided to ignore the warnings and use it on my pussy rather than put it on my shelf, which is where my other "novelties" live. I inserted two AA batteries (not included) after unscrewing the end of the toy, put the batteries in—correctly, I thought—and screwed on the end. I then turned the knob . . . and nothing. I was ready to go so I had to fumble to put the batteries in correctly and screw the bottom on so there was a connection that would complete the circuit and make the vibrator go. Finally it went, and just in time; I was good to go.

I'm not sure why the packaging claims the vibrator has "Gyrating Rippling Action" because it just vibrates. It certainly doesn't move around in a circle or spiral around a fixed point, which something that gyrates does. The level of vibration, if not gyration, is controlled with the knob on the end of the toy, a good location because the hand naturally cups over the knob during play. Also nice about the location of the control knob is that it is difficult to accidentally turn the vibrator up, down, or off unintentionally.

The level of vibration is not nearly enough for me because I've spoiled my clit with much more intense stimulation. I can recall a time, back in the day, when the power of two AA batteries would have been a lot for me. Since there are plenty who've not yet "abused" their parts to such extremes, the power of this vibrator would be plenty. This vibrator would be good for someone just starting his or her experimentation with vibrating toys.

I assume the name The “G,” along with the shape of the toy, slightly curved at the end, is an indicator that the toy is meant to be a G-spot stimulator. Unfortunately, I could not locate my own G-spot with The “G.”  To be fair, I've never found a toy—whether it claims to be a G-spot stimulator or otherwise—that can actually find my G-spot—and I certainly do have one. Had I given this toy a chance with a partner, perhaps he or she could have been able to locate my G-spot from a more advantageous angle.

The "G" truly is waterproof. A shower with the little guy was more pleasant than the average utilitarian wash-and-shave ordeal.

This toy is small enough that it can pointedly stimulate the clit whilst something is working on penetration of the pussy. It may also be good for full vulvar stimulation by placing the toy along the length of the pussy lips.

The "G," when used for penetration, isn't long enough to really get in there. That may be because I like deep, hard pounding, but I'm not the only one. The "G" is good for shallow penetration and even has a mid-section that widens to a point that would probably do it for someone who isn't a size queen.

This toy is a good novelty beginner toy, at best.

He says:

It was a rare treat to review something we already. I'll start with the physical aspects. This is a hard plastic vibe with no squeeze or bend to it. The surface has a nice satin-like matte finish that basically begs to be handled. They may call it a "Soft rubber cote" (sic) on the front of the box, but a detailed reading of the packaging reveals it's really a "PU cote"—presumably polyurethane.

The shape lends itself to set-n-forget usage, as once it’s in place and at your favorite setting, from low throb through buzz, the body will hold the curves of this vibe quite easily, leaving your hands free for other things. The large dome-shaped intensity dial allows for setting the exact level you desire. Well, until your hands are slippery, then its smooth round textures become difficult with even two hands, so it's best to find what you like at the beginning. (I'd like to see two deeper intensities, similar to a kitchen timer's control, to really solve this.)  

There is a screw under the end cap, which can be loosened to adjust this a little, but most of the turning friction is from the really well-designed waterproof controls. This screw also allows removal of the top cap in case you hear some water in it, but it doesn't affect the sealed controls beneath the cover. The low profile and rounded end easily allow one to, say, set this at a dull throb, place inside oneself, and then walk around, do the dishes, or even sit comfortably. As a result, it could even be worn under clothes for that extra surprise when your lover undresses you!  

Being waterproof, I could easily see this being used in a hot tub. 

I love toys that run on “regular” batteries, as this toy does. (I hate trying to find those often expensive and nearly-impossible-to-find-in-"Anytown, USA" button cells or the rare sizes like N or 123.) The only down side here is that the batteries are held very snugly so as not to rattle, making the use of many brands of rechargeable AAs impossible. Battery life is good for many sessions of use—at least a few hours—with the only sign of low battery being a decrease of top speed. Although this makes for more adjustment on the “low throb” end of the scale, which can be very nice indeed!

The shape of this toy is not really built for in-n-out action on a guy. That being said, once it's in, it can be “worn” very comfortably for extended periods of time—an hour or two—plenty of time to finish your house chores and get well spun-up. 

The little bend at the tip didn't seem to do anything special for me, but then we all know everyone's internal geometry is a little different.

She said:

When we received this toy I was excited to already have a point of view about it, but ready to put it to the test again. First of all, the feel of its satin finish feels great in your hands and glides softly over the skin for foreplay. But of course the toy is to be used mostly internally, which is what I like best about its shape. It fits in just the right place for a set-and-forget orgasm.  

The tip is curved up just a bit to get right at your G-spot. I enjoyed it the best when I had it set at just the right vibe for me and then gently pushed it in and out just a bit to experience the over-all pleasure of the shape.

At this point every thing was good. However, as he mentioned, the control for the intensity of the vibe was hard to control when it got wet. Basically it would twist around inside me before I could change the speed. You would have to take it out completely and use a two-hand twist to change the speed, which did not help me to achieve the end result. Overall, I really enjoyed this toy and will use it many more times to hit just the right spot when I need it.
