This toy was definitely designed
I bought the
Chubby-G a while ago and while it was not a good sex toy for us, I have learned a lot from the experience.
Let’s start with material information. To begin let’s look at information on EdenFantasys website. On their review page, Crystalessence is listed as a jelly material (at the time of this writing) but if you go to the EdenFantasys specific Crystalessence material page it lists it as a thermoplastic rubber (TPR). These are contradictory and one of them should probably be fixed. I believe from my further research that, although TPR can be blended with softened PVC, when TPR is alone it is usually phthalate free which makes it an improvement over most jelly (softened PVC) materials. That is not to say that I prefer TPR as a sex toy material (I like silicone much better) but it is, at least, better than most jelly and the Chubby-G should at least receive credit for that.
That’s enough about materials and on to the Chubby-G itself. I bought this toy because it was inexpensive and I was looking for a toy that would provide good stimulation to my
female partner’s g-spot. Well, at least it wasn’t expensive, right? Based upon our Chubby-G usage, we decided that she liked something that could be rocked inside her or thrust in and out of her and it just doesn’t deliver. The main problem is the nubs located around the middle section of the toy. Not only did they not provide desirable stimulation to her labia or clitoris, they were actually uncomfortable to her. The other thing she likes is a defined head on the end of the toy. Unfortunately, the Chubby-G is no good here either. To sum up, my partner likes her G-spot toys to be long and sleek with a big head and the Chubby-G is short and fat with a small head.
Another thing I learned from the Chubby-G is in regards to batteries. I made the mistake of leaving the batteries in the toy while it went unused for several months. I know better now, but at the time I didn’t have very good battery habits generally. Needless to say, the next time I went to turn the vibrator of the toy on, it was dead and when I opened it up to change the batteries one of them had leaked and corroded some of the internals. I replaced to batteries to see if it would still work, but it didn’t help.
Finally, it wouldn’t be a Jimbo Jones review if I didn’t let you know that I did at least try out the Chubby-G for
prostate stimulation. I slapped a condom on it and gave it a shot. It wasn’t terribly uncomfortable, but it did not provide prostate stimulation as well as some of the toys I have gotten since, so I did not feel that it deserved a space in my toy chest once it lost its ability to vibrate.
Glad some one agrees with me Safo. I guess I shouldn't expect much from mass produced lines from California Exotic, but some times something looks good on the screen and it doesn't really pass the test in use. Thanks for the comment!
Great review! The nubby G, a smaller toy in this line, was one of my first vibrators back in college. And it was terrible. I ended up using it mostly for clitoral stimulation.
Yeah, I was wondering about that EE. I guess it makes sense that hard PVC would be phthaltate free and if they used something besides phthalates to soften it, then it could be phthalate free, but it seems hard to determine what is and what isn't. Thanks for the insight!
Sorry it wasn't your cuppa :(
And not all PVC has phthalates, it really depends on the brand. However, if the packaging didn't specifically say "Phthalate free," I doubt that it is.
Yeah, I'm glad I didn't waste much money on it, thanks for the compliment!
Thank goodness it wasn't an expensive toy.
Great Review, JImbo Jones!
DD - live and learn, right? I am much better about battery storage and usage now.
Epiphore - yeah, I don't know what toy manufacturer's are thinking with those little things. Maybe they are comfortable to somebody, but it ain't me.
Uncomfortable nubs are a problem for sure. And kinda hard to avoid when using this toy, I bet. Too bad.
Hrm...I was mistaken about Crystalessence--thank you for the clarification, CW!
And I sympathize, Jimbo. It took me about 5 toys with battery acid leaks before it finally got through my thick skull to store them without the batteries. *sigh* At least you didn't ruin a toy you loved!
CW - you know me so well. So it is a jelly product and contains phthalates? Thank you for correcting me.
Lol, no, it wouldn't have that personal touch I enjoy without you sticking it in your butt.
Yes, the great Crystalessence mystery... it's actually PVC, not TPR. I dropped a line to have that changed in the site.
