Vibe Couture Pleats Ribbed Rechargeable 7 Function G-Spot Vibrator

I would first of all like to say a massive thank you to Leanne for selecting me to review this stunning vibe.

The packaging is classy, a black and white box with a flip open front with a picture of the vibe on it, this opens to reveal a clear plastic window through which to admire this glorious pink vibe, safely nestled inside a black plastic tray.

The vibe is made of dual layer silicone, it feels amazing to touch, the tip feels very realistic. It's a vivid bright pink, which I love, tastefully trimmed with gold. It's a very satisfying size, and actually seems quite big, but I didn't have any problems and I'm not huge in that department, a bit of lube and it slipped in easily.

The vibe itself feels buzzy, and I actually love things that buzz. I tried it against my clit, it turned me on but didn't hit the magic spot. After getting myself worked up I couldn't wait to try it inside myself, sadly, although I love the size and the vibrations, I couldn't quite reach orgasm with it. I tried the pulsating modes, even the highest setting couldn't do it for me.

It has 3 vibrating speeds, 3 pulsating speeds and 1 escalating speed, but not one of them managed to get my G-spot going. I think that perhaps a little bit more of a curve in the shaft may have helped, although I don't normally have a problem hitting my G-spot.

It's rechargeable and charged up very quickly, much faster than the 2.5 hours that it says on the box, it seems to hold a charge forever, which is a plus and it's waterproof too. I like the buttons being on the front, no danger of accidentally knocking it off as I try getting it in deeper, which is a problem if the buttons are located on the bottom of a vibe. There's an on/off button and a button to cycle through the 7 settings. I wouldn't say that it's particularly noisy, the power is good, although I felt like it needed a little more oomph.

It's a quality vibe, but sadly for me, it just hasn't hit the spot, although I love the feel and the size of it.

I received this as a secret tester from Lovehoney, so thank you very much. Texture is definitely something that attracts me to sex toys and the fact this one is ribbed drew me in for a test.

This is a really pretty vibrator. I can tell this vibrator is well-made in general. The silicone material is silky smooth and I can definitely feel that it is dual-layered in my hand by the slight squish of the top layer.

So, to get started, you have to charge up this vibe with the included USB cable, which you insert the pin-end of into the base of the toy. It's all very easy and if you've never tried a rechargeable toy before, you have not seen the light yet! I love not having to worry about batteries, rechargeable toys are legitimately life-changing.

I would advise water-based lube when inserting this toy unless you are already warmed-up first. The dimensions are a bit chunky, plus the ribbed texture might be a little unforgiving if you're too dry. With lube, it slides right on in and feels very filling. It feels good, but I was hoping for something more.

The straight shape doesn't really hit me internally in any good spots apart from my A-spot (right at the back of my vagina near the cervix), but I have had more than one standard silicone dildo hit that spot, so it isn't anything special in regards to that.

I also didn't actually feel the ribs inside me all that much. They weren't really discernible from the smooth parts of the shaft when in my body, so major disappointment was had there. The dual layer silicone also just felt like regular silicone to me - it felt good, but I own fairly cheap silicone toys that feel pretty similar.

Perhaps the vibrations could save this and make me think wow? Perhaps not.

They don't do it for me. They're too buzzy. They are indeed "powerful" as claimed, I'm not disputing that. But there's a difference between the rumbly and stimulating type of vibrations to the buzzy and just kinda "there" vibrations. This, unfortunately, fell into the buzzy category for me. And I don't even consider myself that picky - I orgasm fairly easily, to be honest. None of the 7 different options of vibration available did it for me, they all have the same buzzy nature.

I mean, I have orgasmed with this toy. But from my A-spot, a feat which a mere dildo has achieved countless times and has nothing to do with the vibrations. I couldn't even orgasm clitorally with them, only the second vibrator ever that has failed to make me cum like that. And all this with a pretty loud noise payoff.

I don't mean this review to be savage - I really wanted to like this and had high expectations. The problem is, if the vibrations in a vibrator just don't do it for me, I will struggle to give a high mark. The way I best like this toy is as a dildo, and even then, I have comparable dildos for reasonable prices already. I don't absolutely detest it, but to be frank, I wouldn't purchase this vibrator with my own money.
