When I finally took this vibrator out of its box, two things stuck out: its texture and weight. The toy is made from a combination of two body-safe materials. The bulk of the wand is made from supersoft silicone that feels similar to skin, while the handle is made from ABS plastic that has a matte finish that feels luxe and silky.
Measuring seven inches long with one slightly bulbous end, the Gii is shaped similarly to many other G-spot vibrators (hence its name). “The curved body of the Gii helps reach the G-spot, a nerve-dense spot two inches inside the vagina on the upper wall that can feel pleasurable when stimulated,” says AASECT-certified sex educator Suzannah Weiss, CES MA, author of Subjectified: Becoming a Sexual Subject. In fact, G-spot pressure can lead to a vaginal orgasm, a blended orgasm (when combined with clitoral stimulation), or a squirting orgasm for some people, she adds.
Unlike some G-spot wands (like Lelo’s Mona Wave or We-Vibe’s Rave 2), which have rounded heads, the Gii’s tip is more rectangular. This unique shape increases the amount of pressure the vibrator can apply to your internal hot spot when it’s inserted and removed, according to Weiss.
Before recommending a vibe, I look for user-friendly controls. Sure, high-tech features (like pre-heating capabilities, stand-by mode, and app compatibility) are all very cool, but not if figuring out how to use them makes you feel like you need an engineering degree. Generally, I look for sex toys that have a single button or a few that are clearly labeled, as is the case with the Gii.
I also was struck by how much lighter the Gii is compared to other toys I’ve had in my hands (and vagina). Heavier G-spot toys, like ones made of stainless steel (looking at you, Njoy Pure Wand), can apply firm pressure to the G-spot but aren’t always accessible to people with arm- and hand-strength limitations. Weighing less than three ounces, the Gii is lighter than most utensils are, making it fairly easy to hold.

How I tried it (and how it went)
To keep vibrator testing feeling fun, I usually make an evening out of it. So when I was ready to unwind and release, I locked my pup out of my bedroom for a little privacy and put on my favorite panties (heya, Proclaim). After spending ample time scrolling through my hidden photo album to get turned on, I took Gii out from my bedside drawer, lathered it in my go-to water-based lubricant by Coconu, and stripped down.
