The packaging took me off-guard: this toy was encased in no tacky, brightly-coloured wonder, but a sleek, black, discreet box with the word “STIC” in silver. This toy itself is thick, but not especially heavy, and made of gorgeously 100% smooth silicone.

If you’re a fan of girth, if you love the feeling of being completely filled up, if g-spot stimulation works for you, this toy is a dream come true.

Each easy thrust rides your g-spot in a way that makes you feel like you’re being fingered by an expert masturbator. The only thing I would say, make sure you don’t get too much lube on the base. You want that base to be free for holding in the right position so it doesn’t slip.

As an added bonus, this toy is wonderful for kegal exercises, so as well as being taken to heaven and back, you can also give yourself a thorough workout.

Final Thoughts & Rating:

This wonder may not be best suited for new sex toy users as its girth may throw some users off, but for those who love to be filled up, this is a real treat. I rate this toy a 4 out of 5. The only thing which could take it to 5 for me would be some kind of clit stimulation to bring it to complete perfection. Overall, it’s a unique, very surprising treat.

Sight:

The packaging for the 8X dual Pleaser is a pleasant box with a clear window that lets one admire the toy. There are no weird pictures of porn stars or goofy taglines or anything. It’s pretty sophisticated and appealing, and because it didn’t advertise anything strange or bizarre, it made me even more excited about the toy.

The Slimline G comes in two colors: titillating tangerine and passionate pear. Mine is tangerine (orange). I really love the color of this toy. Many toys are pink or purple, and green and orange are such fun, funky colors. It’s kind of translucent, so you can see parts of the inner motor, which is kind of cool. Since this is my first rabbit-style toy, I was interested in seeing what it looked like on the inside.

The shaft is almost nine inches long, including the motor and controls at the base. Being a rabbit toy, the clitoral section is about two and a half inches long, with a slim girl of just over an inch. Being a “slimline g” product, it’s small enough for those who are new to toys, but not so small that it compromises the sensations.

The bottom part of the toy is made of hard plastic. This is where the motor is for the toy, and where the three AAA batteries go. Next is another part of the motor where the clitoral bullet attaches to the main shaft of the toy. This part is the soft rubbery stuff that most of the toy is made of. (I have no idea what it is.) On top of that is where the beads are. There are three rows of silver metal beads inside, which the packaging promises “won’t jam”, which I guess is a problem with some rabbit toys. On top of that is a little tip that curves. The curve is for the g-spot pleasure of this Slimline G toy. The bullet part of this rabbit-style toy looks like just a regular bullet, but its tip curves, too.

The toy has ridges up and down the shaft, especially where the beads are, and even on the clitoral bullet part of the toy. The ridges almost make the 8X Dual Pleaser look like a fat caterpillar, but thankfully, that’s where the animal comparisons end. What used to always scare me about rabbit-style vibrators was that they often had some weird animal theme going on. I’m sorry, but I really don’t want toys that look like butterflies or dolphins or yes, even rabbits. The bright color and sophisticated design of the 8X Dual Pleaser is very appealing.

Sound:

The Slimline G has two motors. One is for the clitoral stimulating bullet function. This setting is pretty quiet, more of a low rumble. The rotating beads, however, have a pretty loud, grumbling motor. The bullet can probably be used discreetly, but I wouldn’t use the rotating beads in the shaft I was afraid of someone hearing me.

Scent:

This is going to sound crazy, but I love the way this toy smells. It kind of smells pleasantly like vanilla and new rubber/plastic. I’ve had it for months and it still smells good. The scent reminds me of opening a box with a new toy when I was a kid, or a Barbie doll or something.

Salivation:

The flip side of smelling like new-plastic is that this toy tastes like plastic. It smells much nicer than it tastes. It’s not terrible, but I feel like I’m snacking on a G.I. Joe. The 8X Dual Pleaser also leaves a strange, chemical aftertaste, too.

Sensation:

It’s heavier than most of the toys I own, about half a pound, and most of the weight is in the motor at the base. That said, the insertable section is pretty light, so it won’t feel weird or uncomfortable inside because it’s too heavy.

This toy is pleasant to touch. The shaft is soft pliable, with plenty of flexibility in all of the spots where there isn’t a motor, and where there is a motor it’s not hard or unsatisfying. The texture is pretty nice, and it’s even nicer when it’s lubricated.

The vibrating function is kind of complex with this toy. It has two power buttons. One controls the clitoral bullet and the other controls the motor for the beads in the shaft. I liked that these were separate because it’s easier to control the functions. The clitoral function has eight settings, ranging from super high to very low, and every rumble, vibrate and pulse in between. The shaft only has one speed, and it can go clockwise or counterclockwise. I honestly can’t tell much of a difference between the two.

Sexy Factor:

This Slimline G is phthalate free and latex free, which is very sexy. Three AAA batteries aren’t hard to find, and it’s waterproof, too.

My favorite part of it was the clitoral bullet part. If I pressed down really hard I could feel it, but it’s just too padded for me to get any vibration without maneuvering it around. The curved tip is nice, in theory, but it’s just too much plastic between the vibrator and the clitoris to get any real sensation from it.

Inside I didn’t like it very much. At first it was too much at once, and then I realized that even though it seemed like a lot was going on, not enough of any one thing was going on for me to be able to get off. As a g-spot toy it didn’t work. The beads are decent but not great, and the “curved and contoured for targeted pleasure” tip was just way too far up in there.

Basically, I could get off with just the bullet on my clit, but not with the toy inside. Inserted, the clitoral stimulator does not touch the clitoris at all, and the vibrations aren’t pin-point enough, anyway. There’s just a lot going on but it’s cool stuff going on in the wrong places.

This toy is waterproof, which is nice because it gives the user many options. I didn’t enjoy it in the shower, though. It’s an awkward toy that only seems to work if everything is just so, and in the shower there just wasn’t enough room for me to get it where I needed it. But, maybe someone else would have better luck. Just make sure the rubber O ring is in place where the batteries go, because the rubber ring keeps the insides of the toy nice, dry, sealed and tight.

When cleaning this toy, be sure to get between the ridges. This toy has subtle bumps and textures up the shaft, and it would be easy to imagine those areas being neglected.

Another thing I noticed was that this toy doesn’t always turn on right away. It’s pretty sensitive as far as the batteries go, and there’s even a little sticker on the battery case that says “must close cap tightly,” but sometimes closing it tightly means you can’t get the batteries out when you’re done and ready to store the Slimline G. Also, don’t put the batteries in upside down, because then nothing will happen and you’ll just be confused.

Without lube this toy is fine, but both myself and the makers of the toy, Wildfire, recommend using lube. It just feels nicer.

I saw the 8X Dual Pleaser on sale with prices ranging anywhere from $20-$40. That’s quite a huge price difference. It’s an affordable novelty, and much cheaper than like-items on the market, so even if it’s not love at first sight, there isn’t much of a loss.

Final Thoughts and Rating:

Well, this toy seems like it has many factors going well for it, but it didn’t quite add up to what I was expecting and wanting. The colors are great and the functions seem awesome, but the clitoral bullet is too padded to get any sensation, and the g-spot curve is too far up the shaft to even hit the g-spot. As far as I’m concerned, the beads are a novelty but not a necessity. So, my first experience with a rabbit styled toy was less than stellar. That said, my dislike of the Slimline G 8X Dual Pleaser is based off of my own experiences and my own opinion. This might not be the toy for me, but it might be the perfect gift experience for someone who is less picky. Free to me from Topco, the Wildfire Slimline G 8X Dual Pleaser had potential, but didn’t follow through, earning it 2.75 out of 5.

Mini:

As the name implies, this is the smallest of the three that are available. The compact 4” size is perfect for relaxation on the go. Like an earlier review I did for the LELO lipstick vibrator, this little guy packs a pretty powerful punch. It’s the perfect companion to fit inside a purse for a quick shoulder rub or a quick orgasm while stuck in traffic and with a price tag at under $20, anyone can afford it.

Rechargeable:

I don’t have the exact size of this massager but I would say it is about the size of most massagers on the market. What does distinguish the version is that this one is rechargeable. According to the website, a 15 minute charge equals 30 minutes of functionality and I found those numbers to be quite accurate. I did initially have trouble trying to plug it in to start with but once you get the cover off the first time it is a lot easier. The price is a little steep, at about $130, but the power more than makes up for it and the velvet carry bag makes for an easy way to pack it for trips.

Original:

If you know what the Hitachi is then you already know what the deal is with this massager. For those that don’t
know, let me explain. To put it simply, this massager is so powerful, that you have to plug it into the wall to operate it. I can also attest to its sturdiness as I have used this massager almost every day for the last month and everything is still intact. The only downside is the price, around $100, which is double the prices I found on the Hitachi. I will say that I liked the overall feel of the Body Wand and if it proves to have a better longevity then the Hitachi then I will definitely start using Body Wands exclusively.

The best thing about all the Body Wand massagers is that they are all more or less the same. The overall power gets more intense as you increase in size but even the Mini packs some incredible power for its size, they all sport one hand controls, a simple dial on the handle, the quiet hum allows for use when you have to be discreet and the head tilts to allow for multiple angles of use . So considering the ease of use, the overall power and the price tags I say these are all worth a try for any lady that wants to have her own private fun. I give the Mini a 4.25 out of 5, the Rechargeable a 4.75 out of 5 and the Original a 5 out of 5.

Sight:

The Crystal G really is beautiful. It’s probably the prettiest toy I have, and yes, I do have a few pretty toys! It’s slightly curved, like a long parenthesis, and made from clear cyberglass. My favorite part of the Crystal G is the lovely, light green paint/etching decorating the whole shaft. This lovely, clear glass toy is adorned with mossy green vines and leaves, weaving their way up and down the toy.

Both toys of the toy are useable, with one end with a slick shaft that tips slightly at the end, like a cat’s tail. About halfway in the middle of the toy there are three bulbous nubs. Each of the numbs are identical in size, though the two middle ones are closer together, the last one towards the end spaced out a little further from than other two. While the slick side ends in a small curved tip, the other finishes off with one of the thicker bulbs.

The toy is about six inches long, and about 1.5 inches wide, with the bumps being about half again as big as the main shaft.

The Crystal G comes in a while box, securely held in place by plastic packaging material. I think the Sinclair Institute boxes look smart and chic. There are no goofy women, no over stimulating colors or graphics, just a white box that features the toy, letting the toy sell itself.

Sound:

This toy is a dildo, so it’s completely silent while in use. There are no vibrations or clinking sounds, but be careful because it can be heavy enough to make quite a thump if you drop it. (It also clangs against the sink every time I wash it.)

Scent:

This toy does not have any odors, but be sure to keep it clean and sanitized. The packaging includes care instructions on cleaning and safety. Since the cyberglass is nonporous, I seriously doubt it’s the type of toy that will pick up any scents, either.

Salivation:

This this toy has no flavor, should you want to put it in one’s mouth. Since it won’t pick up any scents, it’s doubtful this toy will pick up any flavors, either.

Sensation:

At just over five ounces, the Crystal G isn’t too heavy. It’s a comfortable weight where you don’t feel like it’s going to get lost, but not too heavy it can’t be fun. It isn’t too long, either. At about six inches, it’s for g-spot play so length isn’t the focus.

The glass is smooth and nice. While you can feel the pretty green etching with your fingertips, I myself couldn’t feel it inside. One would have to have uber-sensitivity to be able to feel something so delicate and subtle. So, the etching is for decoration (and I love it) and not for added sensation.

In my experience, this toy retains cold and warmth rather well. Every time I’ve used it, it’s been satisfyingly at room and body temperature. I’m also one of those crazy people who loves to put my toys in the freezer (perfect for a hot summer day!). The Crystal G, being made of cyberglass, kept comfortably cool long enough for me to enjoy the icy sensations.

Sexy Factor:

The smaller, narrower end was my favorite of the two ends. It was just the right size to slip inside easily. It’s for stimulating the g-spot so I didn’t feel too full or stuffed. (I tend to not like huge toys). I’ve used g-spot toys in the past that really hurt me and felt uncomfortable. Sometimes these toys angel too drastically to get any pleasant sensations, but not so with the Crystal G. It has just the right amount of curve! It’s not really the most awesome for thrusting, but is really great for that little inside jiggle, just a tickle inside to hit the body to push one over the edge.

I usually don’t engage in anal play, but the narrow tip of the Crystal G was really fun for just that little bit of extra backdoor sensation. I wouldn’t recommend it for exclusive anal play, though. It wasn’t built for that and might not be safe for any type of serious insertion or thrusting.

The other end with the bulbs was nice, but not my personal favorite. It felt fine inside, but the sensation of alternating between being full-narrow- full-narrow was distracting. I personally can’t get off if there is any variation in sensation, but something like this can be fun to play with.

I’m not the biggest fan of using toys with a partner (I think they can be distracting) but this one is fine for solo or with a friend. It doesn’t make any distracting sounds, it’s pretty so no one will be offended by weird shapes, and it’s designed to be user friendly, so it’s easy on the wrists and hands.

A moist pussy is a happy pussy. The Sinclair Institute recommends using lube with this toy, and while one’s natural lubrications may be enough, a little extra juice doesn’t hurt, either. Lube makes the toy nice and slick, but too much and it may be hard to grip.

Final Thoughts and Ratings:

The Crystal G is a toy I’ll probably use quite a bit. I enjoyed it a lot, and I think it has many great features. I love glass toys – they’re so pretty! They’re also waterproof, nonporous, phthalate free, and really easy to clean. The Crystal G itself can be cleaned in the dishwasher, with soap and water, or boiled. Glass may sound scary, but cyberglass won’t break, and it’s comfortable for the body temperature, or playing around with heat or coldness.  The toy packaging includes care instructions, so be sure to treat your toy kindly. Use lube, keep it clean, and don’t use it if it’s cracked or broken.

Free to me from Topco, Sinclair Institute’s Crystal G: Glass G-Spot Wand earns 4 out of 5!

Sight:

This gel comes in a little hard plastic two ounce jar, and the jar comes in a bulky cardboard package. It’s bright blue and has a consistency like hair products, only not sticky or slick. One thing I liked about it was that it was relatively clean. The gel isn’t free flowing, watery or messy. Be careful, though. It will stain your clothes and sheets blue. Another interesting note is that the jar says this product will “add cherry taste”, which means whoever did the copyediting for their marketing labels did a poor job, as everywhere else it says “mint.”

Sound:

You’ll be pleased to know that this gel is absolutely silent. That is, it’s silent until you take your first gasp once the mint tingling sensation starts to work.

Scent:

Unopened and still sealed, the minty fresh scent is completely locked away. Once the seal is broken and the jar is opened, however, it’s like an explosion of mint, kind of like mint mouthwash (only without the alcohol scent.) I like the scent, though it might be too strong for some folks.  The scent, however, made me a bit nervous about chemicals, so those who have allergies or sensitivities might want to be careful and use sparingly.

Salivation:

This is a 69 arousal gel, good for both solo and partner play. It’s supposed to be good for oral sex, which in itself is already really awesome. Just straight from the jar, this stuff has a very strange aftertaste. It tastes like mint, but there was something unpleasant about it I couldn’t quite place, almost like chemicals. Maybe it would taste better on a person rather than from the jar. To be honest, I’d rather taste pussy than minty chemical freshness.

Sensation:

This gel is cool to the touch, thick but not gloopy, sticky but not gross. It leaves your fingers with a slight tingle after application, but feels best on the sensitive bits of the body.

I dabbed a tiny bit right on my clit and within a few seconds felt a slight tingle, followed by a kind of shocking burning which only lasted for a few moments. Next was nice, pleasant warmth that lasted a good amount of time, though eventually there was less tingle, more heat, and then just a general sensation of niceness between my legs.

Though this gel is made for women, men may still be able to experience some of the cooling sensation on their dick, though not to the same extent as women. I’d be curious to know how it would feel on a guy’s asshole, though, because on women that can be a fun spot to apply the cream, too.

Sexy Factor:

This stuff is sexy. Even if you’re not in the mood, using this gel will probably get you in the mood. It definitely encourages blood flow to the genitals, and when the genitals experience blood flow, it gets your hormones going. It’s a nice little addition to one’s foreplay experience, especially if it’s in addition to a more rousing sexy session. It’s sexy when you want sexy, and even sexy when you don’t want sexy.

It’s fun with partners and toys, too. I personally would rather just use the cream and my hand, but with toys and other additions it can be a fun addition, though it probably won’t be any extra mind-blowing.

This stuff also maintains itself pretty well in the shower, but just as long as you’re just rinsing off and not actually scrubbing yourself. Once you introduce a lot of soap and water it won’t stay around, but if you keep your legs clenched it will stick around until you’re ready to wash it away.

Final Thoughts and Ratings:

I’ve really enjoyed arousal creams in the past, and this is one of the better ones I’ve used. The color and scent are a bit strong, but I was pleasantly surprised by the initial shock when it made contact with my body. The initial sensation can be a bit much at first, but it really only last a few short seconds until the body grows accustomed to the strength of the menthol and starts to warm up pleasantly. As with most creams, it would nice if the sensation lasted longer, but one can always apply more cream because two ounces of this stuff can go a long way. Free to me from Topco, Sixty Nine Arouse Her: mint vaginal arousal gel is one of the better gels I’ve used, earning it 4 out of 5.
