Short-Lived Thrills
Again: I may have gotten a faulty product, and I might should have taken the time to try and replace it through Eden's Fantasies. I wanted so badly to say, "get this! It rocked my socks!" but it was not to be. This may be a case of getting what I paid for, although I've had good luck in other attempts at keeping my perv budget to a minimum...ah, well. Can't win 'em all.Published: January 23, 2012
Pros:
Affordable, fun colors, good vibe.
Cons:
Quit working altogether after less than a week.
I've been considering a g-spot vibe for a while. I improvised for years with a dildo and a vibrator, but the advent of spot-specific vibes made me do a bunch of research that drove me to pare down the number of toys I use at once to achieve the "other kind" of orgasm; the First Time G-Spot Tulip got so many positive reviews, I couldn't help but jump on what read as an affordable-and-sturdy purchase for the job. I'm sad to report that the Tulip let me down.
The specs are good: PU Coated Plastic that is compatible with both water- and silicone-based lubes, the material is velvety, food-grade, hypo-allergenic, and latex- and phthalate-free. I can't get enough of fun-colored toys, so the bubblegum pink I chose made the Tulip seem like the perfect first-time g-vibe. And for a few days, we enjoyed a lovely affair with multiple orgasms, gentle cleansings with soap and water and secure storage...alas, on the fourth day, it seemed the Tulip needed batteries. Since it'd been getting a good pounding for several days on end, it seemed logical that replacing the batteries was all it needed; unfortunately, the Tulip never worked again as a vibe. I've relegated it to the dildo category, but I am eager to replace it with something more reliable -- and yes: This time I will pay more money for something well-reviewed and sturdy.
What else can I say? I want to love the Tulip, I want to believe that I may have gotten a defective product, but I can't conjure the faith to invest in a second one to test that theory. So it's back to the drawing board, as they say, reading reviews of similar toys and paying specific attention to the life-span of the other g-vibes. Because honestly? Those few days with the Tulip spoiled me, I'm eagerly awaiting my next purchase.

Follow-up commentary
5 days after original review
Just a quick follow-up to say that after writing the first review of the Tulip, curiosity got the better of me and I switched out the batteries one more time...and she works! Just like new, don't know if I had bad/old batteries or if it was a fluke, but no matter: I've got a working Tulip vibe again and I'm very happy.

Can this be for guys?

laxplaya18Hey just wondering if this can stimulate a guys prostate as well? -
Shape-wise? Probably. Safety wise? It lacks a flared base to keep it from going entirely inside the body. It shouldn't be used anally by males or females.
Tantus has the G spot which has a similar hook with an anal safe base, though the size is much larger.
The G Force doesn't have a full flare and I would exercise caution with it. The handle does come out from the shaft. I know there are some people here who have used it anally with success. It's also a lot longer than the G-spot Tulip so you'd have to try a bit harder to lose it. Still not impossible though. -
Quote: Hey just wondering if this can stimulate a guys prostate as well?I don't see why not. The hooked shape looks as though it might be good for that purpose. If you're aiming to use it for the prostate, then you're not going to insert it deep enough to risk losing it inside you, so I wouldn't be overly concerned about the lack of flared base.

Thank you for viewing First time G-spot tulip – vibrator review page!
Nice review!
Oh, and I'm sorry this one didn't work out for you. I hope the next one works and this one really was just defective.
Sorry it didn't work out for you.
Thanks! It didn't turn me off my search for a good one.
