This toy has a very plain design but the color is prettier in person. I like my toys to be more attractive or interesting for what I spend on them. It’s not ugly or strange by any means, so if you are more interested in function than form then you probably won’t care about such details. Gino does have a velvety surface as promised but the ridges were disappointing. The ridged surface really did not do anything for me as the diameter of the toy was too small for me to really notice a difference. At least I didn’t have to grab my lube bottle for this one.

As advertised, this toy does have multiple vibration settings. The vibrations are nice and not particularly intense, which makes it a good choice for someone wanting a discreet vibrator as it is very quiet but not totally silent. Having said that it did not wow me as it is a little too slim and finding my G-spot required more effort than I care to expend when using a toy designed for G-spot stimulation. The vibration patterns are interesting and varied for such a reasonably priced toy and it is very easy to clean and store. The toy is soft enough to provide some flexibility when finding that perfect angle and stiff enough to properly press down on the G-spot once it has been located. It also works quite well for clitoral stimulation and the vibration patterns are much more fun when applied to somewhere so sensitive.

Gino has an excellent battery life although closing the battery compartment proved difficult and I am not comfortable using it as a waterproof toy even though it is advertised as such. All in all Gino is a decent G-spot vibrator for beginners or as a warm up to other activities, but more experienced users may want to look elsewhere.

The Gino is great for a lazy afternoon but it will probably never be my go-to vibrator. This toy is better as a warm-up than as the main event.
