I like to say that we\u2019re not big fans of the g-spot in this house. My partner isn\u2019t particularly wowed by g-spot stimulation, and because I experience so much pain during penetration, I usually don\u2019t feel things acutely enough to discern if I\u2019m even doing it \u2018right\u2019.<\/p>\n

So naturally<\/em> this review is for a g-spot vibrator!<\/p>\n

\"\"
[Description: A pastel green vibrator laying on a heart-speckled backdrop. There’s a quarter beside the vibrator for scale, showing that the vibe is pretty big. The vibrator has a long, thin handle with an egg-shaped bulb at the end.]<\/figcaption><\/figure>The Noje G Slim<\/a> \u2013 sent to me by Blush Novelties \u2013 is a not-so-slim rechargeable g-spot vibrator made of hard ABS plastic. It\u2019s over 8 inches long and its bulb is 1.5 inches wide, significantly larger than what I was expecting based on pictures alone. It\u2019s also functionally waterproof, unless you\u2019re planning on using it under water for more than half an hour or deeper than three feet. (Sorry, kinky snorkelers!)<\/p>\n

Now, it would be cool to say that the Noje G Slim changed our feelings about our g-spots \u2013 but it didn\u2019t. But that\u2019s okay! No type of pleasure is paramount to one\u2019s sexual experiences, not even orgasm itself. And sex toys are generally multi-use, especially vibrators. So while I wasn\u2019t super interested in the G Slim\u2019s g-spotting capabilities (which we did test and do discuss in this review!), I was<\/em> interested in its potential as a clitoral vibrator.<\/p>\n

And I\u2019m happy to report that definitely delivers on that front.<\/p>\n

siblings of the rumble\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\n

The Noje G Slim<\/a> has ten vibration settings: five steady power levels, and five patterns.\u00a0It\u2019s not a super loud toy, but it has a noisy whirr that\u2019s definitely audible through a door. Turning the G Slim off requires holding the button for a few seconds, so if you\u2019re in need of either a quiet toy or one that can be immediately silenced, you\u2019ll need to look elsewhere!<\/p>\n

\"\"
[Description: The G Slim posed by the Noje Mini Wand, which is a small, curve-handled wand half the size of the G Slim.]<\/figcaption><\/figure>Like the Noje Mini Wand<\/a>, the G Slim produces admirably strong vibrations for a budget vibe. The first steady setting has some muscle to it; it\u2019s not clit-wilting like another recent Blush Novelties offering, the Exposed Nocturnal<\/a>, but I wouldn\u2019t describe it as gentle. And from there, the G Slim\u2019s vibrations only get stronger. At their peak they can match the power of the lowest settings of the Magic Wand Rechargeable (albeit with smaller reach), which \u2013 while likely not pelvis-pummeling enough for power royalty \u2013 is plenty of punch for me.<\/p>\n

The vibrations are mostly rumbly, which means the motor is thumpier and its vibrations work past the surface to better stimulate your erogenous zones. There\u2019s definite buzz to the highest steady settings, but that\u2019s pretty standard for rumbly vibrators outside of luxury pricing.<\/p>\n

A frequent complaint about the G Slim\u2019s fellow Noje vibrator, the Mini Wand, is that its flexible neck diffused the real strength of its vibrations since you couldn\u2019t apply much pressure. The G Slim is a stick of plastic, so you can be much firmer in your application. But because of its hard shell \u2013 which seems partially hallow in the bulbous end \u2013 the vibrations do feel a little\u2026 distant. The motor isn\u2019t as close to the surface, perhaps. But I only notice this when I\u2019m really mashing it against my junk. (The hard plastic also means the vibrations travel through the handle too, which can be irritating to sensitive joints.)<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"
[Description: A close up of the G Slim’s head at an angle. There’s a subtle seam on the toy, smoothed over to prevent irritation.]<\/figcaption><\/figure>The five available patterns are\u2026 patterns. There\u2019s the usual ramp-ups and pulse-y bzzt<\/em>\u2019s, as unappealing to me as almost every other vibrator pattern assortment I\u2019ve encountered. This is just personal preference, though! Some folks love them for a less intense build-up. I\u2019m just thrilled Blush didn\u2019t bloat the G Slim\u2019s settings with so many patterns that even patterns lovers would be put off because there\u2019s too many to click through.<\/p>\n

the g-spot lever<\/em><\/h4>\n

The best g-spot vibrator in our collection is the Sola Cue, which costs twice the price of the G Slim ($70ish USD<\/a> vs $35ish USD<\/a>) and has an intuitively curved shaft that fits Buster\u2019s internal anatomy almost perfectly. (Like anything involving anatomy, this is luck of the draw.) The G Slim lacks a curve, and instead relies on an egg-shaped bulb to direct the toy\u2019s pleasing rumbles to the right place. For the first month of use, Buster hated<\/em> this design choice. It lacked the intuition and ease of use of the Sola Cue<\/a>\u2019s curve, and just sort of butted Buster\u2019s vaginal wall as they futilely thrusted.<\/p>\n

\"\"
[Description: The G Slim posed beside the Sola Cue. The Cue has a pronounced, banana-like curve to its shaft.]<\/figcaption><\/figure>During a presentation at Fairvilla back in September, Blush rep and author<\/a> Ducky DooLittle talked about using the G Slim more like a lever than a thrusting tool, and that definitely suits the toy best. The bulbed end is girthy enough that as long as you\u2019re in the general vicinity, some lever-like action with the handle will work the urethral sponge with the G Slim\u2019s rumbles, it just won\u2019t have the same aggressive and exacting impact as curved toys like the Cue.<\/p>\n

Even using this new technique, Buster just wasn\u2019t into it. It takes more work and a better mastery of your body\u2019s anatomy, which isn\u2019t worth the trouble for someone who isn\u2019t keen on g-spot stimulation in the first place.<\/p>\n

\"\"
[Description: A close up to the large egg-shaped end of the G Slim.]<\/figcaption><\/figure>If you\u2019re new to g-spot stimulation and don\u2019t even know where to begin, the G Slim Rechargeable G-Spot Vibrator<\/a> isn\u2019t a bad option for experimenting with depth and angle as you suss out what feels best. But I wouldn\u2019t necessarily call it first time finder friendly\u2026 unless you\u2019ve had frustrating experiences with curved toys in the past and are eyeing the G Slim because<\/em> of its straight-shafted shape.<\/p>\n

plus and minus, pro and con<\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\n

There are a couple of pros-with-cons I want to mention, including the Noje G Slim<\/a>\u2019s buttons, charging, and tendency to heat up in use.<\/p>\n

\"\"
[Description: A close-up of the G Slim’s base beside the Exposed Nocturnal’s. Both are round-faced with two buttons and two magnetic charger connectors.]<\/figcaption><\/figure>Unlike so many other affordable vibrators out there \u2013 even its own sibling, the Noje Mini Wand<\/a> \u2013 the G Slim has not one but two buttons<\/em> with which to click through its ten settings. This means if you want to go back one or two settings (perhaps to enjoy the afterglow with some milder vibrations), you don\u2019t have to cycle through the whole list. Turning the Noje G Slim<\/a> on requires a short press and hold of the plus button, and turning it off calls for the same of the minus button.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, the buttons are pretty tiny, so they\u2019re hard to find and press without looking, especially given how strongly the vibrations travel into the handle. I usually have to stop what I\u2019m doing, stick it in my face, and then<\/em> click the buttons. Luckily the light in the base isn\u2019t nearly as bright as the Mini Wand<\/a>\u2019s.<\/p>\n

(Still, two tiny buttons are vastly<\/em> superior to one large one.)<\/p>\n

Between the buttons are two minuscule magnetic dots. These connect to the G Slim\u2019s charger, which is USB and thus can be used with a computer or a USB\/AC adapter (just like most phones.) Like the Nocturnal Exposed, the shape of the magnetic points are weirdly ill-suited for each other, but they fit together without any wiggling. Because the magnets are so small, they pull apart with ease, so be mindful not to tug on the cord.<\/p>\n

\"\"
[Description: A close-up of the G Slim’s base, with its charge cord curled up beside it.]<\/figcaption><\/figure>The last pro-with-con is the fact that the longer the G Slim is in direct contact with my body, the hotter its surface (rapidly) becomes. I know some folks enjoy heat transference, but I think it\u2019s at least partially due to the motor overheating. This would make me nervous, except that on the two occasions where I started getting uncomfortable<\/em> with the heat, it shut itself off. (This was after about thirty minutes of continuous use, and I was able to turn it on again after a few minutes.) I love toys that are more responsible than I am!<\/p>\n

getting a handle on things<\/em><\/h4>\n

Now we get to my favorite part of this vibrator, and the reason I reach for it more often than the Noje Mini Wand these days. (Sorry, Mini Wand. I still love you!)<\/p>\n

The best thing<\/em> about the Noje G Slim<\/a> is its lengthy handle. Being fat means my belly is often in the way of easy masturbation; the smaller the toy, the farther I have to reach and the more I have to angle my wrist. When I\u2019m using the G Slim clitorally, I\u2019m able to utilize its 7-inch shaft for a relaxed, unstrained hold. Because it\u2019s so lightweight, there\u2019s no straining my arm to keep the toy supported or in place. And if you\u2019re targeting the g-spot (which is generally only two or three inches in) when using the G Slim vaginally, you\u2019re still left with plenty of handle length to grasp even when you\u2019re using it solo.<\/p>\n

\"\"
[Description: The G Slim propped up on its side.]<\/figcaption><\/figure>But even better, the handle has given me a new way to masturbate. When using the G Slim clitorally, the bulb remains nestled between my thick outer labia; I can rhythmically tug at the shaft to mimic jerking off, because the toy stays in place and nudges continuously over my clit. My buried clit (\u201cburied\u201d here meaning fully enveloped by labia) makes this easier, but I think even folks with protruding clits can enjoy experimenting with these kind of gender-affirming hand gestures as long as they\u2019re mindful of the egg\u2019s placement. This makes the G Slim<\/a> an imperfect but affordable way for transmasc or curious masturbators to play around with the arm movements associated with cis male self-pleasure. Which is fucking cool<\/em>.<\/p>\n

caring for your vibrating egg stick<\/em><\/h4>\n

Since the Noje G Slim Rechargeable G-Spot Vibrator<\/a> is waterproof (with caveats, as I mentioned earlier) it can be a bath bud for short sessions. I don\u2019t have a tub, nor am I a kinky snorkeler; my appreciation of this toy\u2019s resistance to water is because it\u2019s easier to clean. I don\u2019t have to worry about drowning the motor if I dunk it while using a mild hand soap or toy cleaner to wash it, which is crucial for someone like me that groggily and begrudgingly cleans toys after rolling out of bed the next morning. I\u2019m barely human, let alone discerning about how submerged my sinkful of goodies is.<\/p>\n

\"\"
[Description: The G Slim laying with the Exposed Nocturnal and Noje Mini Wand.]<\/figcaption><\/figure>There\u2019s a seam between the silicone base and the rest of the toy; it can potentially get gunky, so make sure to check it during cleaning!<\/p>\n

The G Slim is primarily made of ABS plastic, so you can<\/em> use silicone lubes \u2013 but keep your sticky fingers away from its silicone buttons! Silicone lubes can damage silicone toys. If you\u2019d rather skip the risk but still want the slip, water-based lubes (like my much-beloved Sliquid Sassy<\/a>) won\u2019t harm any portion of the toy.<\/p>\n

like an old friend returned\u00a0<\/em><\/h4>\n

Blush Novelties sent me the G Slim<\/a> in July or August of last year. I used it religiously, so much so that I decided to bring it with me when I had to housesit out of town. When I got back, I couldn\u2019t find it anywhere<\/em>.<\/p>\n

For the rest of 2018, I had a 75% completed review of a toy I really liked and no product to take pictures of\u2026 I even acquired a few potential replacements for my favorite longer-handled clit vibe (including the stronger and more expensive PalmPower Rechargeable<\/a>, which also works for \u2018jerking off\u2019) but it\u2019s been difficult to match the intuitive shape and affordability of the G Slim.<\/p>\n

Recently, I found the G Slim in my (presumed empty) travel bag. I knew it would return to my regular toy rotation, but I wasn\u2019t sure how well it would hold up against newer additions to my roster. But while its buried vibrations do frustrate me just a little more than they did last year, the G Slim is still my first choice for masturbating on my hands and knees and bottoming in missionary position. The handle length and snug way the bulbous end stays enveloped in my labia are still unrivaled.<\/p>\n

who would love the g slim?<\/em><\/h4>\n

Who would appreciate the G Slim<\/a> as much as I do? Folks on a budget who want a quality rechargeable toy. Folks who \u2013 due to mobility, body shape, etc \u2013 need clitoral toys with handles. Folks who want to explore different positions and need a handle for easier access to their junk. Folks who prefer rumbly vibrations but don\u2019t need the bone-deep strength of wands. Folks for whom the levering technique sounds like a g-spotting good time. Folks who don\u2019t need a million patterns and prefer having more than one button with which to explore a toy\u2019s settings. Folks who love pastels (as the G Slim comes in Rose<\/a>, Sage<\/a>, and Wisteria<\/a>.) Folks who own the Noje Mini Wand<\/a> and have had the thought, \u2018I\u2019d really like to put this inside me.\u2019<\/p>\n

This vibrator deserved so much better than getting lost with a tube of travel size toothpaste, but I\u2019m making up for lost time.<\/p>\n

You can get your own egg on a stick at SheVibe ($33 USD)<\/a> or Peepshow Toys ($35 USD.)<\/a> If you use code \u2018BETTY\u2019 at Peepshow, you\u2019ll get 10% off your order!<\/p>\n
