Platinum edition personal pleasurizer - g-spot and clitoral vibrator by Cal Exotics - review by wafflewendy

Although it advertises as a dual simulator, I have found that it falls short internally in both pressure and vibration due to its small size and ultra-flexible material. However, this same property makes it perfect for beginners or people who just want a presence in their vagina rather than intense internal stimulation.

Externally this toy is amazing. Your clitoris sits right on the vibrations and those little nubs (though strange looking) feel phenomenal. And because it is battery powered, waterproof, relatively small and quiet, this toy can be used nearly everywhere with some creativity. Ideal for solo play, it can also be used with a partner, just note that the shape of the toy lends itself to grinding rather than thrusting as the g-spot hook may catch on the pelvic bone and be uncomfortable to some.

The vibrator is made out of two main parts: the hard plastic base which holds the mechanics of the vibrator, batteries, and controls, and the soft TPR sleeve that goes over the plastic. This outer soft part is the insert-able g-spot portion and the nubbed base for clitoral stimulation. The texture of the TPR is smooth and not sticky, but a bit tacky. There is also a seem running through the full length of the TPR sleeve, but not once did I notice this in use. When lubed it is nice and slippery and glides in just right. The materials are also silicone lube compatible.

The down side of the TPR is that because it is just SO flexible, the g-spot insert-able portion does not maintain enough pressure for me to feel a substantial effect internally. It also doesn't transmit vibrations very well once inserted. The vaginal portion was, however, good for keeping the vibrator in place, but anything beyond that was disappointing.

There was a faint smell to this product at first but that soon faded away within a couple of days. It is now virtually odorless and tasteless.

The design is ideal for beginners or those who likes something smaller internally with powerful external vibration. With the insert-able portion being only 3" long with a diameter of 3/4" at the neck (and about 1" at its widest part in the head) it is very easy to handle for those who are smaller vaginally. The clitoral bed is 1 1/4" long and 1" wide, so it can still work with nearly anybodies anatomy when inserted. The base which holds the motor and batteries is a bit cumbersome, being 4 1/2" long, making the toys total length 7 1/2". It isn't exactly discreet, but it is easy enough to tuck it away in a small bag for storage and travel.

I really enjoy the shape of this toy. The "J" hugs your body and stays in place, right where you want it. The flat heat of the g-spot portion would be great if it transferred more pressure and vibration, but instead it acts as a hook that catches my pelvic bone. This isn't uncomfortable when inserted and stationary, it just prevents me from thrusting; but really, this toy was designed to stay in place and grind on, especially with those clitoral nubs.

There is one button on the bottom of the plastic portion on the lid that screws in the batteries. This button is a bit stiff and makes an audible "click" noise when pressed. You click this to turn it on and it starts on the lowest steady vibration. You keep clicking and it cycles through all the modes. The first three are steady and increase in power with each one. There are other modes after these that pulsate between the highest setting and off in different increments. (I will elaborate on these in a moment). The power this vibrator packs is quite substantial for its size, price, and power source. Unfortunately, this thing is that it is a battery eater and it is even noticeable when the batteries and less than full charge. If you are a power queen like me, you may want to have a reserve of AAA's and replace the batteries even before they are fully dead to maintain the power of the vibrations. It isn't a complete waste of batteries if you cycle them over to a clock, calculator, or even another toy, but it is still frustrating and a bit of a hassle.

Back to the multiple settings. I really haven't used much past the steady vibrations as I have found that those work the best for me. There are a total of nine settings. I have represented the different patterns graphically. All vibrations are on the highest setting only. The "escalation" is just simulated through vibration patterns.

I did two cycles of each pattern where _ represents vibration and the spaces represent no vibration.

TPR is phthalates free, latex free, hypoallergenic and is rated a 7 on the EF safety scale. Because it is a bit tacky, the TPR attracts lint, hair, fuzzy-floaters, and anything small and light. Luckily, you can completely submerge this vibe and a quick run under the sink with warm water and mild antibacterial soap before and after use and you are good to go. The basin where the clit-nubs are has this almost wall-like barrier which can trap fluids, but when cleaning just running your finger through it is plenty. Just be sure to dry this before you store it to make sure it doesn't become a cesspool for bacteria. Unfortunately this is not fully sterilize-able by boiling or using bleach. Between this and TPR being porous, if you plan on sharing with someone you are not fluid bonded to, use a condom or toy cover. As for storage, I just wash, dry, and take the batteries out (saves their much needed juices) and stick it in a little empty makeup bag. It is pretty small so it is easy to hide and keep out of the way until next use.

I purchased this vibe almost a year ago but I do not remember the packaging being anything remarkable. Very standard, cheap, molded plastic package that needs scissors to open and discard once the toy is out. But at a price of 20 something dollars, I wasn't expecting anything spectacular.

The directions were extremely minimal, nothing much beyond what type of batteries to use. I personally like a lot of information on things but it didn't hurt my experience with this toy as the design is pretty intuitive.

This was my very first vibrator and I think it served its purpose well. With all of the different modes it has, it helped me realize just what works for me. I wanted something that was both clitoral and g-spot so that I could figure out just what made me tick. I used it primarily in solo masturbation but I did break it out every now and then with my partner and let him be in control. The fact that it is completely waterproof made it all the more better and I used it in the shower both solo and with my partner. I especially love that the materials are both body safe and silicone lube compatible. This is a great product for the price and it has lasted me a full year! I am moving on to bigger and better things but you can not go wrong with a small toy like this in your drawer.
