Tiger G5 - g-spot rabbit vibrator discontinued by Fun Factory - review by BellaDonna2884

The Tiger is vibe that is amazing at what is does but it is a one-show pony. It is designed to provide dual stimulation to the clitoris and G-spot or to be used as a clitoral stimulator. Although I don’t think works well as a dual stimulator it is an excellent G-spot vibe. The curve of the shaft and subtle texture definitely hit the spot and provide awesome orgasms.

It can also be used on the clit as long as the user does not require pressure.

The manual for the G4 series states “With the exception of the models CALLA and Paul & Paulina, G4 vibrators are not suitable for anal use because with improper use they could be pulled in by the anal muscles.” The Tiger does have a partial flare at the base that is supposed to provide clitoral stimulation but I would discourage anal play with this toy.

The Tiger would be suitable for solo and couples play.

The shaft of the Tiger is made of 100% silicone so it is latex free, non-porous, phthalates free and hypo-allergenic. It is also free of odors and taste. As with other silicone toys it does tend to cling to smells and may need the occasional breather. The base of the Tiger is made of smooth plastic.

The silicone shaft has an almost velvety feel and is partially flexible. Ridges run the length of the shaft providing extra stimulation while thrusting, while the back of the shaft is smooth. Because Fun Factory silicone is more squishy and forgiving the ridges are easily felt but not overwhelming or painful. The texture and flexibility of the shaft also help to prevent that painful catching effect on the pubic bone. The Tiger is a great option for someone looking to experiment with texture, or those who like a bit of texture but not to the extreme. I made the mistake of trying the Fun Factory Tiger dildo first; the G4 Tiger is much more forgiving. The Tiger is completely seamless.

Everything about the design of the Tiger screams luxury, from the plushy royal blue silicone to the glossy white plastic handle. The internal portion of the looped handle is silver plastic. The Tiger is operated by three buttons easily located on the handle. I found the looped handle design to just be okay. It was nice in the beginning for holding and control but further into use the smooth plastic tends to become slippery, so the handle helps but everything is still slipping and sliding in the moment.

The Tiger is 8-3/4” in length, 6” of that being insertable, with a circumference of 4-3/4” and diameter of 1-1/2”. Overall, the Tiger is nice sized toy; it’s not too girthy and is big enough to satisfy most. This toy is not one that I would travel because it is one of my larger toys. The design is not discreet and doesn't have a locking feature.

At first glance the Tiger appears very phallic with a bulge at the tip resembling the head of a penis. Although instead of stripes this Tiger has ridges that run the entire length of the shaft. The softness and flexibility of the silicone allows the ridges to be pleasurable without being overwhelming or painful. The base of the Tiger’s shaft is solid, as this is where the motor is housed, while the distal half of the shaft is flexible consisting of firm but squishy silicone.

The end of the shaft curves slightly, enabling this toy to hit the g-spot nicely, although if the user requires firm pressure on the G-spot this is probably not the right toy for them. The shaft of the vibrator can also be rubbed against the clit for stimulation, but again if the user requires pressure this toy will not be effective for that purpose.

At the base of the shaft is a small protuberance that is supposed to be the clitoral stimulator. The vibrations travel through the motor in the shaft and up through this nub. Personally I found this to be ineffective because it simply stimulated the external vaginal area and did not reach my clit. However I expected this from looking at the pictures prior to purchase and was not disappointed.

The Tiger is operated by three easy-to-use buttons located on the handle. To turn it on simply press and hold either the (+) or (*) button, and to turn off simply press and hold the (-) button. During use the buttons have a white back lighting that is called the “Magic Touch” system. The back lighting will also flash occasionally when the vibe is being handled, and supposedly this is meant to be a signal that the Tiger is ready to play. When the user is ready to play the Tiger can go anywhere because he's 100% waterproof. Grrrrr

(+) - to increase vibrations
(-) - to decrease vibrations
(*) - to select a vibration pattern

The Tiger offers four vibration patterns. To select a vibration pattern simply press the (*) button until the desired pattern is located.

1. Constant vibration
2. Rapid pulsing
3. Slower but stronger pulsing
4. Starts with a slower pulse and increases to faster pulsing

The strength of the constant vibration can be increased or decreased, but the vibration patterns are only available in the single strength. I’m not a big fan of vibration patterns so this was not a problem for me, but the lack of variation pattern strength may be a deterrent to some. As far as rechargeable vibrators go this Tiger packs a punch. To compare the strength of the constant vibrations the Tiger is probably twice as strong as my Lelo Mona but not quite as strong as my Jopen Vr6.

On its highest setting the Tiger is definitely not the quietest vibrator; if allowed to give half ratings I would rate it a 2.5 bees. It’s discreet enough that under covers. Behind a closed door no one will know what the user is doing. In volume it is also comparable to the Jopen Vr6.

The Tiger is rechargeable using the Fun Factory Click ‘N’ Charge system. I have other Click ‘N’ Charge vibes; the system is as irritating, as mentioned in other reviews. Cool, but irritating. It works, but I frequently have to check the vibe during the charging process and re-adjust the cord because the connection has been lost.

When it’s time to give the Tiger a bath have no worries because he’s fully waterproof and submersible. A mild soap and warm water are the recommend cleaning method, but your favorite toy cleaner or wipes would be fine as well.

Because the Tiger is silicone, it would be fine to use a 10% bleach solution if the user is concerned about sterilization. The Tiger IS NOT dishwasher safe because of its mechanical parts, and exposure to extreme heat or cold should be avoided.

Unfortunately Fun Factory toys do not come with a storage bag and the packaging is not ideal for storage. I would recommend buying, making, or recycling a bag for storage. As with other silicone toys the Tiger does attract dust and hair.

Please only use a water based lube with this toy. Silicone toys are only compatible with water based lubes and the Tiger is no exception to that rule. Exposure to silicone lube or other silicone toys will result in the degrading of your toy.

The packaging for this toy was the standard Fun Factory packaging, which is a stylish gray box with a window for viewing the toy. On the box are magnetic flaps which open, providing another view of the toy and information about the toy in multiple languages. Upon opening the Tiger the toy is housed in a clear plastic shell that is used to create the window effect. Inside is a manual with operating instructions in multiple languages and a sample of Fun Factory lube.

Fun Factory packaging is great for gift-giving, but it's not very functional storage. I would recommend planning on having an alternate storage method.

I purchased this vibe because I have enjoyed other Fun Factory products and was interested in experimenting with texture. Fun Factory silicone tends to be softer, squishy and perhaps a little more forgiving to sensitive areas. And I must say I think I have found the perfect balance of give and texture in the Tiger.

I enjoy the Tiger for what it is, which is an excellent G-spot vibe. I did not find this toy to be effective for clitoral stimulation because I require more pressure than the Tiger can offer. Also, the Tiger claims to be a dual stimulation vibe but it really isn’t, at least not for me. Versatility in a toy is a definite asset which is why I subtracted a star from the Tiger's rating. For the price of this toy it should either clearly state its purpose or live up to the claims made.

Also, because of the price I wouldn’t recommend this toy to beginners. Texture preferences tend to be a funny thing and it would be a shame to make an investment in a toy and completely hate it.
