In a recent conversation about Scandarella, one of the few friends I’ve actually told about it said, “Your site looks great, but how come nearly all the stuff you write about is dead expensive?” I could have told her it’s because they’re all made from body safe materials by reputable companies, but that sounded like bullshit even to me. You can get perfectly good silicone or glass or ABS toys these days for very little money. Luckily, I knew I had a lovely little vibe waiting in the wings for review, so I told her about the Sh! Bliss G-Vibe G-Spot Vibrator.
I’m usually one to balk at battery operated toys. You can tell me I’ve been ruined by rechargeables all you like, the fact remains that, not only are batteries expensive and bad for the environment, but the vibes they put out are nearly always shite.
Now, I’m not about to tell you that the Sh! Bliss G-Vibe is the best battery powered toy ever. If I did, it would be a lie, and those who bought it off the strength of my review would know it. What I am gonna do is, rather than look at it from the point of view of a seasoned reviewer with a clit of stone, I’m gonna look at it from my friend’s perspective.
Newish to sex toys. Super sensitive clitoris, easily stimulated g-spot. Looking for something body safe, simple, and very inexpensive.
If you can identify with any of that, you might want to give this one a go.
The Sh! Bliss G-Vibe is a simple, non-intimidating, small g-spot vibrator. Made from soft, silky silicone in Sh!’s signature purple with a white plastic battery cap, it’s perfectly body safe. Silicone doesn’t contain latex or phthalates, and it isn’t porous. It won’t harbour dodgy bacteria as long as you keep it clean.
When I say it’s small, I mean it. From end to end, it’s only 6-inches. By the time you get your hand around the base, you’re looking at between 3 and 4-inches insertable. Stubby, but plenty of scope for finding the g-spot. Girth wise, you’re not getting anything chubbier than 4-inches. That makes this vibe compact, light, and appealing to those who prefer their insertables on the petite side.
To help with g-spotting, the first two inches of the shaft have been bent at an angle. This lets it sneak around the pubic bone to nestle nicely in the g-spot’s vicinity. The tip is tapered to aid insertion, and the base slightly thicker than the rest of the toy for an easier grip.
As for vibes, you’re not getting anything that’ll bore a hole in your vaginal walls. It’s a gentle vibe with a buzziness to it that I find itchy, but that my friend thinks is heavenly. You get three intensities of constant speed, and four patterns, all accessed by the single workhorse button on the battery cap. That button is responsive for turning the toy on and moving through the patterns, but you need to hold your finger on it just so for about five seconds before it switches off. It’s a quiet vibe, though, so you needn’t panic if someone knocks on the door while you’ve got your pants down.
In use, I find my usual g-spotting approach – full constant speed until I blow – doesn’t work with the Sh! Bliss G-Vibe. It really does itch like a bitch, and that’s one of the most unpleasant sensations there is. However, if I go against the grain and use a pattern, things aren’t so bad. The breaks in vibration stop the tickles, and while it isn’t my fave avenue of g-spot stim, I can get there with it.
The best way I’ve found to use it is, with a pattern going, getting it settled against my g-spot and using the flex in the tip’s angle as a spring. It feels similar to a single finger rocking inside me, and with the added vibes can feel kinda nice. Little circles work well, too, as do small grindy thrusts. Because of that neck, you can’t really get a lot of pressure going though. And, for me, it isn’t a great squirting tool, either.
If the cap is twisted on tightly, the Bliss is waterproof. You can bathe with it, shower with it, and then clean it easily once you’re done. Lubes must only be water-based, and I’d recommend Duracell batteries for this one. Cheaper batteries just don’t let the toy reach its full potential, and since it doesn’t aim for the stars as it is, you want to get the best it has to offer from the off.
If you’re looking for an inexpensive, versatile vibrator with no bells or whistles that’ll get the job done, you could do worse than the Sh! Bliss G-Vibe. To pick one up for less than £30, click the image below.
