Get a grip - sex toy by Evolved Novelties - review by ToyTimeTim

For the anal newbie or those that like small G/P-spot toys, the Get a Grip (or Love Handle if you like purple) vibrator from Evolved Novelties is a good choice. This vibe is made for easy use, due to the handle, and the size is perfect for those just starting out. While the vibrations are located in the tip for the best stimulation to your G/P spot, they do travel all through the toy so perineum/clitoral stimulation can be achieved. In fact, it almost seams like there is another vibe located where the handle meets the insertable location. Based on the intensity at the tip and the lessened feel of it the father back you feel, I am sure this is not the case but rather it is the plastic's ability to transmit vibrations.

Get a Grip can be used in a few different ways, you can insert and enjoy the vibration, rock it back and forth, use a 'window wiper' motion (my favorite) or use some trusting motions. If dual penetration is your thing, it can be inserted in the anus backwards so the handle is out of the way to allow PIV or the regular way for PIA. It is not designed to stay inserted so you may need an extra hand to keep it in.

Evolved has made this toy out of PU coated plastic, this material is Phthalate free so there is no worries about chemicals leaching into your body. That also means it is easy to clean and it has a smooth glide when lubed. Speaking of lube, you can use water or silicone based lubes. Since Evolved claims it is water proof, silicone lubes will work best for wet play.

There is a freaking &*^%@#@~#%! seam that runs along the top and bottom of the toy on mine which can be felt during use. You can trim this off using a nail file but it could remove some of the PU coating. Not that that would make any difference mind you, I just get so pissed when a toy has the dreaded seam!

Size wise this toy is perfect for the anal newbie, most will be able to take this toy with little discomfort. Just make sure to use a good lube. Dimensions are as follows-



You can see that the tip is angled to better target the P/G-spot; there is also a nice bulge towards the handle. I found that the extra bulge was nice to give a bit of an extra stretch (very little) to the anus, coupled with the vibes; it was nicely stimulating to the area when inserted all the way. Furthermore, the handle also gives the perineum a good bit of stimulation as well.



The handle has indention's for a better grip when using it on you, I typically have my hand under my leg to use anal toys (when lying on my back) and the handle worked great for this type of grip. It also works well when reaching between the legs. The push on/off/change vibes button is placed at the top of the handle; this is a good location as it is easily accessible for you or your partner. I just wish it wasn't so easy to push, more than once during use I grazed my finger across it and the vibration changed. Since you have to cycle through all the settings o get back to where you were, this was a pain. At least there are only seven settings to go through.

You get seven vibration settings to chose from, two steady settings and five pulse/roller coaster type settings. I found them to be buzzy and light, once again, perfect for the beginner. I am a bit surprised how buzzy they are considering two AAA batteries power it. I figured they would be a bit stronger. One thing that could be improved upon is to have a thicker layer of PU on the handle. I found that the vibes tend to make my fingers numb when holding. The noise is minimal and you will not hear it through a closed door.

To insert the batteries, you simply pop off the cap to access the battery compartment. Since the toy does not come with any instructions you have to look for the "+" and "-" signs on the toy. They are very small so you have to look close to see them. Here, see for yourself-



Pretty small markings, eh?
