Marital Aid Test Kitchen: Falling In Love Again With The Nubby G

The original Nubby G was my first love. With its curved neck and a nubby ring around the base, it was perfectly constructed to stimulate the g-spot as it tickled your clit (or anus, if you prefer). Oh, and it was cheap, too: an important concern for a broke young college student.

But then I learned about phthalates, and suddenly the Nubby G's jelly rubber skin seemed far less inviting. Sure, I could always be safe and put a condom on it - but somehow, it just wasn't the same. I abandoned the Nubby G and went in search of other toys, hoping that I'd find one that could compare - and wouldn't raise my risk of a nasty disease.

A few weeks ago, my prayers were answered: Babeland announced their new line of toys, and I was pleased to see a new, thermoplastic rubber Nubby G listed among their offerings. But my excitement quickly turned to doubt: could this really be as good as the classic Nubby G? Would it live up to my memories? Would it make me come as hard and as frequently and as well?

In a word, yes. The Babeland Nubby G lives up to its promises: once I got my hands (and other parts) on it, I couldn't put it down. The Nubby G's magical abilities were every bit as stimulating as I remembered: my G was rubbed, my clit was nubbed, and my legs were quickly shaking in ecstasy.

I'm older, wiser, and a bit more experienced than I was when I discovered the original Nubby G, so its shortcomings are more apparent to me now: as a battery-powered toy, it doesn't rock as hard (or as long) as some of the rechargeable toys I've become acquainted with - and yes, it is aggravating when the batteries die in the middle of a particularly hot jack off sesh. But given its many other charms (and bargain basement price!), I'm willing to overlook that. The Nubby G will always have a place in my heart ... and one right by my ladyparts, too.

[We originally reported this toy as being made of silicone. It is actually made of thermoplastic rubber. Our apologies for the mistake.]
