\"A<\/p>\n

I have a weakness, and it\u2019s cute sex toys.<\/p>\n

The Gplug Twist<\/a> is simple \u2013 and definitely cute. Its almond body is shaped into a spiral with thick, smooth ridges that end in a blunted point. It reminds me of an icecream cone, and I kind of wish it came in corresponding colors (like the Satisfyer Sweet Treat<\/a>.) But even in matte black, it\u2019s pretty adorable.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, as I\u2019ve repeatedly learned as a reviewer, looks aren\u2019t everything.<\/p>\n

The Gplug Twist is my second toy from Gvibe, a London-based sex toy manufacturer. (My first Gvibe review was for the circular-handled Gpop<\/a>, a plucky little vibrator designed for both g-spot and prostate stimulation.)<\/p>\n

Like the Gpop, the Gplug is packaged in a sturdy cardboard tube. But if you want something less substantial for storage, it also comes with a soft cotton drawstring bag.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

The Gplug Twist is a vibrating butt plug. It\u2019s rechargeable via USB, and has a pretty impressive run time on a single charge. I usually forget to plug my toys in after I use them, but the Gplug didn\u2019t die on me even after several uses.<\/p>\n

Part of the reason it lasts for so long is that it has a very limited range: 6 settings, with only 1 steady speed. Boo! There\u2019s no gentler consistent speed to use if you\u2019re sensitive, or need a warm-up, or want to take your time and build up to a more powerful setting. I think vibrating sex toys should have at least<\/em> 3 steady speeds.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

At 1.5 inches in diameter (the width of an average penis or dildo), the Gplug Twist<\/a> is too big for someone\u2019s very first butt plug. It\u2019s also made of super firm silicone, and the lack of give makes it feel even girthier in use. The Gplug\u2019s width and intense shape are suited to moderately experienced users.<\/p>\n

The swirls that make the Gplug so visually interesting are intended to add ribbed pleasure to insertion and wear. The swirl\u2019s bumps rub and stretch your sphincter as you push the plug in, and then presumably tease as you move while wearing it.<\/p>\n

our experience with the twist<\/em><\/h4>\n

My partner and I wanted to love this plug. Unfortunately, we didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n

The Gplug Twist\u2019s super firm silicone is a lot to adjust to. My partner uses much larger butt plugs<\/a> (up 2.4\u2019 in diameter), but most of them are squishy or at least medium-firm with some yield. There\u2019s absolutely no yield to the Gplug Twist.<\/p>\n

For Buster, the rigidity makes the Gplug Twist awkward and often painful to insert. They can only enjoy the process if they use a much bigger plug or dildo first to fully loosen their hole. Warming up with fingers \u2013 our usual go-to \u2013 isn\u2019t enough.<\/p>\n

The swirls are so tightly lined that it doesn\u2019t feel like a rippling wave as Buster was hoping. Instead it\u2019s more like a quick series of somewhat uncomfortable tugs. If you go slowly (either twisting it in as the product listing suggests, or inserting it straight), you can discern the ridging more. But Buster\u2019s butt wasn\u2019t too keen on the silicone\u2019s draggy matte texture either.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It wasn\u2019t all bad, though.<\/p>\n

The Gplug Twist has a thin neck, which allows the wearer\u2019s sphincter to fully relax after inserting the plug. This means you won\u2019t be distracted by your asshole stretching\/straining while wearing it (a sensation some folks enjoy \u2013 but not Buster.) Since they don\u2019t have to bear down to keep the plug from straining to pop out, they can wear it longer.<\/p>\n

I also absolutely love<\/em> the Gplug\u2019s base. Because they fit unobtrusively between the cheeks, t-shaped bases tend to be more comfortable in general \u2013 but that\u2019s especially true for wearers with large butts like mine or my partner\u2019s. The Gplug Twist<\/a>\u2019s smooth, round-edged bar base also works well with lengthy sessions or moving around.<\/p>\n

Wearing the Gplug Twist is\u2026 fine, for awhile. Its texture doesn\u2019t add much stimulation-wise once it\u2019s inserted. We had to regularly reapply our favorite water-based lube because the firm silicone will rub you raw, and longer-lasting silicone lube can\u2019t be used with silicone toys.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

In the end, between the itchy but mild vibrations and the occasional jab from the plug\u2019s pointed tip when Buster moves around, none of our test sessions ended on a positive note. The Gplug Twist is simply not for us.<\/p>\n

final thoughts on the gplug twist<\/em><\/h4>\n

There are no doubt folks out there who love firm plugs with a lot of texture. But I\u2019m not sure I\u2019d recommend the Gplug Twist to them, because regardless of how I feel about its shape, I\u2019m still disappointed in how limited its vibration range is.<\/p>\n

For $66 USD (the same price as the much more versatile Gpop) the Twist is just too much for too little.<\/p>\n

That being said, I think Gvibe is on the right track with the shape of the Gplug Twist\u2019s base. It\u2019s so comfortable! The Gplug Bioskin \u2013 Gvibe\u2019s smooth-bodied, squishy butt plug \u2013 has the same base. In hindsight, maybe I should have played it safe and tried the Gplug Bioskin instead.<\/p>\n

If you have a steelier bum than mine, you can find the Gplug Twist on Gvibe\u2019s own website<\/a>. Mine reached me in just a few days!<\/p>\n
