Taking The We-Vibe Thrill For A Joyride

Ah, the We-Vibe Thrill -- it's yet another entrant into the "g-spot/clit-spot dual vibe that's got it all!" ring. And of course I can't wait to jump in for a round. But does it live up to the name, or is it a total bore?

First things first, just aesthetically the Thrill is a bit of an odd bird. It's pretty masculine, lacking the soft curves and rosy pastels of most lady vibes. That's not necessarily an inherent negative, but this toy was reminiscent of a tiny version of the portable Dirt Devil vacuum from my childhood. Anyway, we all know not to judge a book by its cover, right? Moving on.

The Thrill charges up through a magnetic attachment on a cord that fits any USB adapter plug (move over, iPhone!) and is ready to go in 90 minutes. Not the fanciest of charging mechanisms I've seen, but convenient and effective nonetheless.

But let's get to the fun part! So the curved end of the toy is supposed to go all up in you, while the flat part beneath the li'l handle is to be smashed against the clit for some buzzy stimulation. Or, maybe it's not supposed to be smashed per se, but that's basically what I had to do to get any effect there. I'm actually not sure exactly where the motor lies but it definitely required a good bit of finagling to get to those sweet vibrations -- and even then it wasn't so fantastic.

However! The g-spot component of the toy got some faint buzz itself, but with its perfect curvature, that hardly mattered. Yes, this had a quite lovely time hitting my sweet spot, and with the addition of a real clit vibrator -- I went with my beloved Pocket Toyfriend --it really made me (figuratively) sing.

And though the handle itself is in a bit of an awkward position to be really helpful in a raucous self-bang, I believe it would be amazing, ergonomic and convenient in the hands of another. Fun, right?

Overall the We-Vibe Thrill doesn't knock it out of the park as far as covering all lady needs at once, but if you'd like a handy little g-spot vibe for you or a friend to wield, it's quite a nice little buddy indeed.
