As someone with bad wrists, I love sex toys designs that take grip issues into consideration. That’s why I said yes when I was asked to review a toy from London-based sex toy manufacturer Gvibe. All of their insertable vibes have curved handles!
One of the first Gvibe toys I was drawn to is the plucky little G-Pop.

The G-Pop – which comes in a handsome dark blue with gold plastic accent – is a petite vibrator with a substantial handle. It’s nice to see an accessible handhold on a small vibrator! The G-Pop’s firm insertable bulb is just 1.1 inches wide, narrowing into a super flexible neck. Its single button is on the skinniest part of the handle, which makes it simultaneously easy to find and a minor pain to click if your fingers are damp.
Like most modern vibrators, the G-Pop is both rechargeable (via a USB cord) and waterproof. This means you don’t have to be nervous about washing it, and it can tag along with you on a long shower.
According to the product listing, the G-Pop was “created for women and men.” I’m neither, and gendering sex toys alienates customers like me. At least the packaging – which is a cute, sturdy cardboard tube you can absolutely use for toy storage – makes no mention of gender.
The G-Pop can be used vaginally or anally, because the handle is sufficiently flared. What the product gendering was meant to convey is that its bulbous shape is designed for g-spot or prostate stimulation. Just make sure to sanitize the toy with a 10% bleach solution between uses if you’re switching holes or sharing with a partner! Silicone is non-porous and body-safe, but you still need to sanitize the surface.
vibration quality & external use
This vibrator has 6 settings: 3 steady vibration levels, and 3 patterns. I was surprised at how strong the G-Pop’s vibrations are. At its highest, the G-Pop is about as strong as my beloved Noje Mini Wand – and the lower vibration speeds have a similar rumbliness to them.
The Noje Mini Wand ($38 USD) is a little over half the price of the G-Pop ($66), but it can’t be used as an insertable. The Mini Wand’s handle is not nearly as easy to hold, either.
I liked using the G-Pop Vibrator on my clit. The handle curved pretty naturally over my pubic mound, although in that position I had to reach under the toy to get to the button on the neck. The G-Pop’s silicone is powdery soft and slightly matte, but the toy itself is very firm. The bulb is the perfect size to nestle between my labia and stay on my clit hands-free.
g-spot/prostate stimulation
If you’re not specifically seeking a small insertable, you might be underwhelmed by the G-Pop’s modest bulb. Because of how small it is, your g-spot or prostate will have to be fairly shallow to take full advantage of the G-Pop’s shape. My partner Buster’s g-spot is deeper than most, so it couldn’t quite reach.
For g/p-spot stimulation, the G-Pop seems to work best when angled upward and rocked or twisted. If you like concentrated pressure on your g-spot or prostate, the G-Pop’s thin, bendy neck is going to be a source of frustration.
the g-pop as a butt plug
The yielding neck makes inserting the toy anally more complicated too. To keep the G-Pop from trying to bend out of place, Buster recommends holding the base of the bulb itself. Once in place, though, the neck is advantageous – it’s so narrow that your sphincter can fully relax, making the bulb seem more filling.
Buster really liked the G-Pop for anal. The handle is fat but rounded, so while they aren’t able to sit down normally while wearing it, the toy comfortably nestles between their cheeks when they’re laying or reclined. With its small size, it’s a great butt toy to wear while having vaginal sex. Its presence is so unobtrusive, providing firm but comfortable nudging pressure against the anal/vaginal wall without taking up too much space. If you’ve ever wanted something small for your ass while getting fucked vaginally, the G-Pop is a great choice for exploring double penetration.
final thoughts
The G-Pop seems just a little pricey at $66. But it’s a small, versatile insertable with a large, easy handhold and a stylish design – and I can’t think of many vibrators that come close to checking off all those boxes. As someone with vaginismus (which got worse from stress, so I couldn’t enjoy the G-Pop’s vaginally firsthand) and grip issues, I appreciate having this niche filled with a decently powerful little vibe.
You can find the G-Pop on Gvibe’s own website. Mine reached me in just a few days! Gvibe also carries a number of larger insertable vibes, including squishy-surfaced silicone g-spot vibes.
