Sparkle softees the G - g-spot vibrator discontinued by Cal Exotics - review by Isadorabelle

The Sparkle Softees G-spot Vibrator is an excellent addition to your toy chest. Easy to use with three intensity speeds, this vibrator is designed with bulges and ribs to help maximize on your sexual pleasure. The material is a soft and pliable, making it preferable over harder g-spot vibrators for stimulating your g-spot. If the bulges and ridges aren’t enough, it’s waterproof!

This vibrator is made out of TPR. TPR, which is also known as TPE, is a polymer blend that is not as porous as cyperskin, but more porous than silicone. Another good point of TPR is that it is hypo-allergenic in addition to being latex and phthalates free. Generally, TPR is a great choice in material because it has excellent flexural fatigue resistance and high impact strength. Basically, it is ideal for adult toy products that are designed to stand the test of time and use.

The texture of the Sparkle Softees g-spot vibrator is ribbed and bulged. And, while initially the vibrator has a scent, it is mostly gone after a few thorough washes. Because TPR is somewhat porous, it is important to remember to use a condom when sharing or switching between vaginal and anal play.

The Sparkle vibrator is a pretty, glittery purple and is 7 and 1/4 inches long with 6 inches actually insertable. Even with the 2 AAA batteries required to operate the vibrator, this toy weighs in at around 1/3 of a pound. The vibrator is a comfortable 1 ¼ inches wide with a circumference of 3 ¾ inches. Because of its size, it’s easy to appreciate the design of the Sparkle Softees g-spot vibrator. With a large head and a pleasant bulge half way down the insertable length, this compliments the two ribs just under the head of the vibrator. Because this toy is stiffer and not as flexible as some other g-spot vibrators, it cannot be maneuvered especially well however, with a curve located at the tip of the toy, it helps to achieve g-spot stimulation, whether by yourself or with a partner.

This vibrator has a single button control located at the bottom. Pressing it once turns it on while each additional press of the button intensifies the vibrations. The vibrator cycles through three intensities before turning off again. This is the only control and the Sparkle vibrator does not have a dial to control the intensity. In addition to the single button control, the vibrator is waterproof, so it is safe for water play! The vibrator requires 2-AAA batteries, however they do seem to last a reasonably long time.

Because this vibrator is made out of a porous material, it cannot be disinfected with boiling water and shouldn’t come in contact with boiling water. However, in addition to using toy cleaner on it, you can also wash it with warm water and mild soap. It is best to use soap that is fragrance free on your vibrator as TPR may retain some of the fragrance of the soap. Remember, before storing your vibrator remove the 2-AAA batteries required to use your vibrator. Silicone and water based lubricants can be used with your vibrator.

The packaging for the Sparkle vibrator was a simple plastic container that conformed to the shape of the vibrator. Because of the plastic packaging, it isn’t reusable or suitable for storing the vibrator on a more permanent basis. Despite the disposable nature of the packaging, the product was shipped with the best care in a reasonable sized, discreet box and packaged to prevent damage while en route.

This was an overall nice addition to my toy collection. Though, I cannot say that I feel like it ‘did the job’ as far as a g-spot vibrator goes. It didn't really reach my g-spot, though I feel like that can be attributed to the stiff nature of the toy. While it does have a nice curve at the head, I don’t think it was flexible enough to adjust to such an individual preference. However, this might be different for a more seasoned user, so you may not want to count this toy out just because of my experience with it.

The vibrator advertises being waterproof. I was unable to really put the toy to the test on this due to privacy, but I did thoroughly wash it, including allowing it to sit in water some. I haven’t noticed any issues of malfunctions and the seal around the casing appears to be very good and made very well.

Overall, I’d recommend this toy, if nothing else for its value as a material-safe vibrator.
