Touche Girdle - traditional vibrator by Shots media - review by Ryuson

The girdle is meant for both external or internal stimulation, but was meant mainly to be inserted. The wide head and thin neck allow for easy insertion, and is your G spot is easy to please some nice G spotting. It can be used on the clitoris or nipples easily, but if you need pinpoint stimulation this will probably leave you reaching for a bullet or something with more of a focused point. I personally my favorite way to use this was on my labia and clitoris.

I would not really recommend this for anal use, but if you were careful and really wanted to you could safely insert this up to the 'neck.' The rest would serve as a good handle and is moderately flared, but again I wouldn't recommend it.

Internally it can indeed hit my g-spot, but with no precision and I have a very easy to please g-spot. It also is nice to use on your nipples or other erogenous zones for either men or women. you could insert the bulbous tip anally if you really wanted to because the handle is very long and easy to grip, but I would not insert it any further because there is always the concern of it getting 'lost' up there. Personally this would be too large for me to recommend as a couple's toy unless you and your partner are used to very large toys and have VERY good communication.

I would not recommend this to beginners for similar reasons, but advanced users might enjoy the size and design this offers. It is a moderately 'dorm safe' toy because of the noise levels, but the size makes it difficult to hide and smuggle anywhere. It also tends to grab lint, which helps it reduce it's dormitory appeal and travel appeal.

The Girdle is made of smooth, soft silicone. Silicone is rated a 10 out of 10 on the Eden safety scale because it is completely nonporous. The base of the toy is made of matching shiny, purple plastic. The silicone has a moderate amount of drag to it (I needed to use lube out of the shower, and I couldn't comfortably insert it in the shower with the water making things slippery.) The silicone also flexible and plush, meaning that it can curve to fit your body type while inside you.

The drag caused by the material does cause some extra stimulation, especially on the nipples or clitoris. Unfortunately I would not recommend this texture for beginners because of how difficult it makes it to insert. It takes quite a bit of lube and time, and most beginners will want something they can easily enjoy.

This had no scent or taste out of the package, and retained neither after use or washing. As I mentioned above, this material is slightly tacky and picks up anything near it. Take this into consideration because it is more high maintenance than a lot of other options, but it also feels very nice.

I purchased this toy because, simply, I really enjoy corsets. The dimensions seemed similar to other toys I have used and enjoyed, and the material seemed good, so I went for it. Unfortunately, my eyes ended up being larger than my vagina.

The entire toy is a good 8.25 inches long, with 7 inches of that being insertable. It has a circumference of 5.25 inches around the base and the widest point in the tip, but towards the 'neck' it thins out. I found that if the curve of the head was more drastic I would have found this more pleasurable, but the girth stays too wide for most of it and it ends up being uncomfortable.

The saving grace of this toy for me really ended up being the 'laces.' I found that since this toy was to uncomfortable for me to thrust with, I couldn't feel them when inserted. My opinion on them changed when I tried running them up and down my labia and clitoris, which felt great! The texture really was lovely, and this was a worthwhile toy if only to use for that purpose.

This toy is not easy to hide and is not discreet looking at all. One of the reasons that it won't be staying with me at the dorms is because it is just not easy to tuck into my sock drawer or under a pillow in a hurry. I also smuggle most of my toys into the showers by wrapping them in my towel, and this is almost too big for even that. If you live somewhere where you can leave toys out or have more hiding options this shouldn't prove a problem.

The first toy I received for review was a flop, but the awesome people at Eden decided that I needed a functional toy to review and quickly got me an exchange. I'm not sure if this is like my Harmonia and is a fairly common defect, but common or not you should return it if you are having problems with it turning on!

You control this toy by a large button on the base, which is pretty easy to press. It has 10 setting as follows
Low (1 vroom)
Medium (2 vrooms)
High (3 vrooms)
4 (BZZZ BZZZ BZZZ)
5 (BZZ BZZ BZZ)
6 (BZBZBZ bbbBBBZZZZ)
7 (bbbbbbBBBZZZ BZ)
8 (bbb BBB BZBZBZZZZ)
9 (BZ BZBZBZBZBZZZ)
10 (bbbbBBBBBB bbbbBBBBBB BZBZ)
And then it cycles down to the first setting again
You turn this toy off by holding the power button down for 2 seconds, which I find very convenient because sometimes you just have to stop that vibrating noise. It comes out to be around 3 bees, which means it can't be heard over the shower but if you have very thin walls you may want to turn on some light music while you use it.

So far I have submerged this slightly while cleaning it and used it in the shower and haven't had any problems with water leaking into the battery compartment.
This is only splashproof, not waterproof, and I wouldn't splash it too much, either! In order to get it to work you have to keep the battery compartment unscrewed slightly, and this one didn't have much of a plasic -ring to start with. If you're looking for a new water proof vibrator, this would not be on my list f recommendations.

As I said before, this is a lint magnet. I would recommend washing this before and after each use because of how dirty it gets. I'm storing mine in the box it came in, but if you plan on making this a permanent part of your toy box you may want to invest in a drawstring bag or wrap in in a piece of cloth. I keep it in a cool, dark place with the rest of my toys.

A special note on silicone; don't store it touching silicone! This mayl cause reaction with the two toys and they will melt together! Also,stay away from silicone-based lubricants because it can also happen with those as well.

You can wash this with soap and water, but I use an antibacterial toy cleaner. You also can wipe it down with a 10% bleach solution if you're worried about bacteria. Remember kids, if you won't be using a toy for a while take the batteries out!

The Girdle comes in classy black packaging with window that lets the toy be seen on the front. The back has some basic information in several different languages, and is very informative. It is not very discreet and the name is not very appealing, but if you have a friend that could gt over that and would like this, it would make a nice gift.

The instruction booklet comes in I think 9 language, which is pretty impressive! It covers all of their toys in this line and told me everything that I needed to know. I use it for storage but, again, it isn't convenient.

As an aside, this toy should not be used by pregnant or menstruating women because of the type of motor it uses. I'm not sure if that means you can't use this clitorally while on your cycle either, but I;d use something else for that week and not take the chance!

The first toy I got was defective, as I stated above, so if yours just doesn't seem to want to work right send it back! It really is a quality toy now that I have a functional one.

This toy deserves a solid four stars, even though personally I would give it 3. The size didn't work with my anatomy and I should have looked over the sizes a bit more thoroughly, but if you're someone who enjoys feeling 'stretched,' this would be awesome. It is fairly quiet and a neat design, and it has a lot of functions. Again, not for beginners, but all around a solid toy.
