Bgood - traditional vibrator discontinued by B Swish - review by DeliciousSurprise

The BGood is a battery powered traditional vibrator from BSwish. Perfect for external clitoral use, or for internal penetration use, this toy is good for beginners intimidated by wall-powered power tools, or for experienced toy aficionados looking for something a little more classic to add to their collection.

The BGood has a rounded tip that mimics the shape of a bullet, and it nestles well against the clitoris, labia, or even nipples. However, although she might look like she's up for it, she's lying when she says she likes anal. With no flared base and just a straight shaft, the Bgood is no good for using anally.

With such a straight shaft, the toy probably won't hit your g-spot, but its smooth exterior and encouraging diameter makes this a good toy for warming up before larger toys or for beginners looking to explore.

The BGood is made of Phthalates-free, hypoallergenic, food grade, latex free plastic. This material is fairly safe, as it is low porosity and easy to clean. It's got a velvety outside, which makes it quite nice to touch, but does add drag to its surface. The velvet outside definitely makes this toy prone to need lots of lube, but with so many options of lube available to this plastic toy, that shouldn't be a problem! It was fairly odorless and I did not notice any interesting flavours upon my taste-test.

The toy itself is firm and unyielding, and the lack of texture makes this a fairly quiet easy ride.

The BGood is a good beginner's toy; it measures 7" with 6" of insertable goodness. At only 1 1/8" in diameter, it's slim, making it easy for a newcomer to handle. It weighs less than half a pound and the weight is evenly distributed; I didn't pick it up and marvel at how light/heavy it was.

As for the toy's design, it's a very straightforward traditional vibrator. It has a straight shaft, with no external texture, ribbing or nubs. The bottom of the toy ends in a dial for changing the vibrational speed.

It isn't exactly subtle, anyone who's seen a traditional vibrator will identify it on sight, but if it's stored in the included pouch (more on in the Packaging/Maintenance sections), it's much less obvious.=

The toy is very easy to use, operate, and maintain. Before use, batteries should be inserted by unscrewing the base of the toy, and removing the little plastic insert. It's a bit difficult to see which way the batteries are meant to go, but they pop right into the insert and the insert slides into the toy. Once the battery cap is screwed on, you use the same cap to change the intensity/power of the vibrations. The top turn dial is for vibration pattern, the bottom is for speed, so no worry of unscrewing the battery base when changing vibrational power. There are no vibrational patterns with this toy, so those with more refined vibrational tastes might be left disappointed.

It is powered by two AA batteries (not included) and the vibrations are comparable for similar toys with similar batty power. It's nowhere on the level of a hitachi, more on the level of a Lelo toy. The vibrations are located in the tip of the toy, so it can be used well for clitoral stimulation, or it can be used internally for stimulation.

The toy is waterproof, and when I tested it by submerging it in the sink for several moments, I encountered no leakage. The toy's o-ring should be checked before each use so as to judge that the integrity of the toy is not compromised.

On its lowest settings, the Bgood is a very quiet toy, but with many vibrators of this style, on higher settings it does become a bit noisy--though that is easily muffled by a blanket or music.

Being plastic, the BGood is easy to maintain; it can be cleaned with antibacterial soap and water (wash it for at least 30 seconds), or by wiping it down with isopropyl alcohol. Being waterproof, it won't destroy the toy if you drop it in the sink, so no excuses for not cleaning it up!

Plastic is compatible with oil, water, and silicone lubes, so there are no limitations there--though oil lubes are not really recommended for vaginal play.

This toy came with a lovely black storage pouch, which works well for storing the toy. Likewise, the packaging that the Bgood came with is good for storage--it comes in a very attractive outer box, with a molded inside box in which the Bgood sits beside the storage pouch. Beyond being great for gifting, it's good for keeping your toys organized.

I was a little disappointed when I first saw this toy; I was expecting the vivid, vibrant blue in the photo, and was surprised to see this toy was more of a cornflower blue than a sky blue. However, that doesn't really detract from the overall interest I had in the toy.

And, though I'm not holding it against the toy, it wasn't a really enjoyable toy for me. Yes, it's a nice vibrator, it'll hold up well to a lot of usage, but... It's a little boring! With no variation in intensity, texture or firmness, this was probably a poor choice for me at this stage in my toy collection. If you've got a hole in your collection and you're looking for a straight, untextured traditional vibrator, this is a good toy both aesthetically and functionally.

I'm taking off a star because I found that the batteries died a bit quickly and lost their intensity a bit faster than I'd like. Beyond that, for a straight vibrator, it's pricey and I was expecting a little more out of it.
