Tiger G5 - rabbit vibrator by Fun Factory - review by quackbuster

The Tiger is slightly curved for g-spot stimulation, but the vibrations are strong enough to stimulate pretty much anywhere on your body. If you choose to insert the entire shaft, there is a nub on the bottom that may work well for clitoral stimulation, depending on your anatomy. I found it to be a tad bit short for my body, but with a little maneuvering, it works well, particularly if I'm sitting down and bending it.

The nub at the bottom is likely large enough that it can be used anally, but be careful, as it's not designed for such and the base is not particularly wide.

The G4 Tiger is made of food-grade silicone that is latex-free, phthlates-free, and hypoallergenic. Silicone rates as a 10 on Eden's safety scale. This particular toy is very velvety and has an extremely smooth texture that feels great on my skin, and also of inside of me. It has no taste and only a very, very faint odor that mostly goes away after washing. The toy is quite flexible and can easily be bent back and forth, though it won't really lock into place once you adjust it. The main downside to this sort of silicone is that it is an absolute lint magnet --dust, hair, and lint will stick all over it like it's covered in glue!

I found the Tiger to be a perfect size and shape for me. I prefer toys that have a little bit of girth to them, but not so much that the stretch is painful or that I have to warm up a lot before using them. It may be a little large for beginners, especially virgins, but it's not so big as to be intimidating or scary.

The silicone portion of the toy is approximately 6.5", with an insertable length of about 5". The head is right around 1.5" in diameter.

The Tiger's back is smooth, but the front has 1/4" stripes -- eleven of them, to be precise-- that go from the head all the way down to the clitoral bump at the bottom. They're not so prominent as to be uncomfortable, but you can definitely feel them, especially if you're not wet enough. I've found that adding more lube makes them much less noticeable.

The head is slightly curved and angled to hit my g-spot perfectly. If you choose to thrust it deeply, the protrusion at the bottom works great for clitoral stimulation. I found that it was a little easier to hit my clit if I was sitting down while using it, as it's a little easier to curve that way.

This toy is realistic-looking (well, other than the bright colors!) and not at all discreet. Even the most naive observer would figure out pretty quickly what the Tiger is used for!

The toy is controlled by three buttons on a plastic base at the bottom. I really like the base: it's a plastic loop that's easy to grip onto. You can either slide one or two fingers into it (if you have small fingers) or just grip all the way around it. The button placement is great; I haven't found that I've hit them by accident while using the toy. I also like that they don't take an incredible amount of force to press, though turning it on or off does seem to require a little more "oomph" than I would prefer.

The top button, "+", is used to turn the toy on by pressing and holding down. It also allows you to strengthen the vibrations, which start at level 1 (I'd compare this to a 3 on the vroom scale) and go up to level 6, which is so strong that it numbs my hand! The "-" button in the middle lessens the vibrations, or, when held down, turns the vibrator off. The "*" button at the bottom changes the vibration pattern -- the Tiger features a steady pattern, a quick jackhammer pattern, and two escalating patterns. The vibrations are felt pretty evenly throughout the toy.

To be so strong, the Tiger is fairly quiet. The lower levels are not all that audible, but I'd rate level 6 at a 3 on the vroom scale; you might not want to use it at such a high power if you have a nosy roommate nearby.

The Tiger is waterproof, but I have yet to try it out in the bath. It looks extremely well-made and the plastic handle is attached firmly to the shaft, so I seriously doubt it would have any issues performing in the water.

The G4 Tiger is waterproof, so it's incredibly easy to clean; you can rinse it off with a mild soap and water, or use toy-cleaning wipes. The main downside to silicone is that it is only compatible with water-based lubricants. This toy is a lint magnet, so you're better off storing it in some sort of bag or container. It comes in a lovely box, but it's a little bulky for extended storage, so unless you have a ton of extra room, you're better off putting it elsewhere. Silicone toys should not be stored by other silicone toys, and the Tiger should not be boiled or put in the dishwasher, as the heat will damage it.

I have never owned a rechargeable vibrator before this one, and I find FunFactory's magnetic charger to be really cool! It's a small circular magnet that you stick onto the logo on the back of the Tiger and a flashing light will indicate that it's charging. It took about 5-6 hours to charge the first time, and I have not noticed a significant decrease in power after approximately 45 minutes of use. The magnet doesn't stick incredibly strongly, so you do have to be careful to not bump it off while it's charging, but otherwise, it works great. The instructions note that the magnet in the charger and the Tiger can damage credit cards, so it might be best to keep your wallet far, far away.
