Euphoria pleasure ride - g-spot vibrator discontinued by Cal Exotics - review by bad juju

The Euphoria Pleasure Ride is a decently constructed toy good for use solo or with a partner (I tried both). The design is an attempt to make it a G-spot stimulator but it just isn't working for me (it may work for others). The vibrator is in the shaft, not the knob at the head (where it should be if it's really going to stimulate the G-spot). The suction cup base was a complete fail, it wouldn't stick to anything really. Even if you put it on a flat horizontal plane, like the seat of a chair, the base is wide enough to allow it to stay upright as you press down but the suction cup is not good enough to keep it down as I pulled up. I would say the best use, for this toy, for me was with my husband using it on me. It's good for a change of pace but it's not a toy I'll be selecting on a regular basis.

The toy itself is well constructed, for the most part. It seems to be made where the actual toy will last... not sure if I can say the same of the controls though, they seem to be very cheap. It has a texture at the head and on areas of the shaft, where you'd need to take extra care in cleaning. It's constructed of PVC, which only has a safety rating of 2, which is definately something to consider. I did not notice any smell when I took it out of the package, and the toy cleaned up well before and after uses. I would say that overall the toy would be good for beginners and/or advanced users... but the toy is pretty big.

It's bigger than I thought it would be. The overall length was 8 inches with an insertable length (due to the base) of about 7 inches. The girth was approx. 2 inches (at the widest). For comparison, if compared to an average beer bottle, this toy is just about an inch shorter and slightly less wide at the widest insertable section. I did like the fact that it is big, but it just didn't seem to be big in the right areas. The toy is not very discreet, I wouldn't be taking it anywhere were someone would be looking through my luggage. The design looks like a good idea, but it fell very short of its intentions.

The controls were hard to use. The switch on the controller didn't have a positive click between speeds. When it was on high the motor seemed to fluctuate. The high speed was the same as the slow speed except when ~IT~ decided to go faster. The vibrations were in the WAY wrong spot. If they would have just put a bullet type vibe in the head of this thing they could drastically improve it. But all of the vibrations are in the shaft. The suction cup was an epic fail... at least for me.

Being that this toy is PVC (safety rating 2) and is textured, extra care should be taken in cleaning. I used antibacterial soap and warm water before and after each use. It is compatible with water and silicone lube (I tend to always use water based lubes) This is fine to store with other PVC toys, but I would keep it away from any silicone toys.

I'll definately keep experimenting with this toy and will post a follow up review later. I don't give up easily, and I can think of a lot of things that would be worse than experimenting with trying to find a way to make a sex toy work better.

I selected this toy because I wanted to "think outside the box." This is not the type of toy I would normally be looking for, but it looked interesting and I wanted to try something different. The toy (or a toy like it) has a lot of potential to make a great experience. Unfortunately this toy falls well short. The controls didn't work right, the suction cup didn't work, and being that it's claimed to be a G-spot stimulator and the vibrations don't even reach the G-spot knob... this toy started out as a good idea... too bad they didn't follow through on the good idea.
