Design
The Lovehoney Desire Curved G-Spot Vibrator is a fun, swoopy, S-shaped toy. With a bulbous head and sharply curved body, it’s specifically designed to target and stimulate the G-spot.
I wanted this toy because of its shape. Sex toys with a hooked end can be incredible for G-spot pleasure, as well as sex toys with a bulbous tip. This has both of those design features, so I was sold.
The Lovehoney Desire Curved G-Spot Vibrator is $89 USD (plus use my coupon code HONEYX10 for 10% off everything). It’s is available internationally through Lovehoney and comes with a list of luxury features. It’s waterproof and submersible, USB rechargeable, and coated with bodysafe silicone. It has 8 vibration modes, each with 12 intensity levels.
As with all of Lovehoney’s products, this toy is also covered by their 1-year product guarantee (so if anything goes wrong with it, Lovehoney will replace it for up to a year after purchase).
The Lovehoney Desire Curved G-Spot Vibrator comes in one colour. Like most products in Lovehoney’s Desire range, this toy is a deep, matte shade of purple. It’s not particularly vivid. I had trouble photographing the specific shade of purple, but Lovehoney’s product page is much more accurate. It would have been great if there’d be more colour options to suit more personalities.
Accessibility
This section is to help folks determine if they might have any issues using/accessing this toy.
- Size/Weight: The Lovehoney Desire Curved G-Spot Vibrator is an average-sized G-spot vibrator. It measures approx. 7.5″ (5.5″ insertable) and 1.5″ wide at the tip. It weighs 173 grams.
- Buttons: There are three buttons near the bottom of the body. They measure about 8mm in diameter, are about 3mm apart, and sit flush against the surface. They require firm pressure to press down and make a quiet ‘click’ noise.
- Handle buzz: A moderate amount of vibrations transfer to the handle. Your hands will buzz while holding this.
- Visibility: This is an overall dark-coloured toy. The buttons are not in high contrast colours, but they are engraved so you can feel where they are with your fingertips. The button order (starting from the bottom end where the charging port is) is: Decrease Strength, Pattern, Increase Strength.
- Gender Marketing: At the time of writing, this toy is not marketed towards any specific gender. No depictions of people are on the box or manual. The marketing relies on body-specific parts (“G-spot”) rather than any terms like “female” or “woman.”
- Price: At $89 USD, this is moderately expensive compared to other G-spot vibrators with these features.
How to Use the Lovehoney Desire Curved G-Spot Vibrator
- There are three buttons: (+), (O), and (–).
- To turn on your Lovehoney Desire Curved G-Spot Vibrator, press and hold the (+) button.
- Apply lubricant and insert the toy. Though designed for G-spot (vaginal) use, the vibrating surface can also be used against your clitoris, nipples, or the shaft of a penis. However, without a flared base I don’t recommend this for anal use.
- Tap or press the (+) button continuously to increase vibration strength through the 12 intensities.
- Tap or press the (–) button continuously to decrease vibration strength.
- To cycle through the 8 vibration patterns, tap the centre (O) button. You can use the (+) and (–) buttons to adjust the intensity setting for each pattern.
- To turn it off, press and hold the (–) button.
- There is a travel lock function so that you don’t accidentally turn it on. To enable travel lock, press the (+) and (–) buttons simultaneously for 5 seconds. Do the same to unlock it.
Packaging
The Lovehoney Desire Curved G-Spot Vibrator comes packaged simply in a black and purple box. The quality of the packaging is average.
Inside the box, you receive the vibrator, a thorough instruction manual, a USB charging cord, and a pleather storage zip pouch. I love the storage pouch — it’s discreet, it has a slot for a padlock, and it’s definitely a step up from the usual storage bag you receive with a vibrator.
Material and Care
The Lovehoney Desire Curved G-Spot Vibrator is a bodysafe, silicone vibrator. Silicone is one of the best materials for sex toys because it’s nonporous and hypoallergenic. This particular silicone has a matte, draggy finish that attracts dust/lint, so you’ll want to give it a rinse before use.
This toy is fully waterproof and submersible. To clean, I rinse mine in warm, soapy water before and after each use. You can also use a toy cleaner. I allow it to air dry before storing it back in its pouch.
To charge your Lovehoney Desire Curved G-Spot Vibrator, insert the needle end of the charging cord into the silver-coloured hole at the base of the toy. Connect it to a USB port in your computer or a wall adapter. A full charge takes about 80 minutes and gives about 80 minutes of playtime. This product has a low battery warning (a solid red light comes on).
If you want to charge it discreetly, there’s a small hole in the storage pouch that you can thread the cord into, so that the vibe can charge while hidden in the closed pouch.
If you’d like to use lubricant, I suggest opting for a water-based lubricant (I particularly like the ones by Sliquid). Even if you naturally produce your own lubricant, silicone tends to take up a lot of it so I always recommend having a bottle on hand and coating the insertable portion.
My Experience with the Lovehoney Desire Curved G-Spot Vibrator
My feelings on the Lovehoney Desire Curved G-Spot Vibrator are a little mixed. I’ll walk you through my experience so you can decide if this is the toy for you.
The good.
The Lovehoney Desire Curved G-Spot Vibrator is marketed for G-spots, and G-spot pleasure is where it excels.
It may look like an average-sized pleasure product, but I was surprised to find that it feels satisfyingly girthy in use. The secret to this is that bulbous end — the rounder the shape, the larger it feels. (Tip: with that wide shape and draggy silicone, I really found I needed more lubricant than usual, so be sure to stock up).
That curved shaft, coupled with the bulbous end, finds the G-spot VERY quickly. When you’re inserting and thrusting it, the bend curves enough so the head bumps directly into your G-spot. The bend also keeps it on your G-spot during thrusting, and I found this really pleasurable. I can’t have orgasms without clitoral stimulation, but when coupled with one of my favourite bullet vibrators on my clitoris, my orgasms have been really enhanced with this toy.
I also love how the bulbous head narrows at the neck, which gives this toy a delightful “pop” sensation during use. The initial thrust is stretching, but the narrower neck gives me a bit more freedom to thrust faster and try different angles. It really is a great shape.
The bad.
I’m not without my gripes.
The Lovehoney Desire Curved G-Spot Vibrator has a flexible body. The shaft can bend enough that the curve becomes much shallower.
This makes zero sense to me. G-spots generally need very firm pressure; a bendy shaft means it’s hard to get the pressure you need if you want firmer stimulation. This toy would have been much more effective if it had a firm, inflexible shaft. For example, the njoy Pure Wand (reviewed here) features a rigid curved shaft, and that makes it a much more effective G-spot tool. So I’m frustrated. This toy feels good, but it could have been so much better had they added a firm inner core.
My second gripe is that the vibrations aren’t particularly strong. They’re on the buzzy side, so they come across as more ticklish than anything else. In my opinion, they aren’t strong enough for clitoral use (and aren’t felt strongly in the G-spot either), so this was disappointing. For this price, I expected a better motor.
Overall – Lovehoney Desire Curved G-Spot Vibrator review
I’m not without my complaints when it comes to the Lovehoney Desire Curved G-Spot Vibrator — I wish the shaft wasn’t bendy and I wish the vibrations were better.
But I’ll concede that the Lovehoney Desire Curved G-Spot Vibrator can still deliver some great G-spot pleasure, thanks to the bulbous head and curved shaft design!
