Review – Gold Digger Vibrator

When I saw the Gold Digger Vibrator, I was excited.  It’s wasn’t that I needed another vibrator, no, it was the sparkly, shiny jewels that enticed me.  I’m a girly girl and love pretty things.  It seemed the Gold Digger Vibrator was right up my alley!

The package arrived from Babeland and I promptly ripped it open.  The vibe is packaged in a plastic clam shell and is made by Doc Johnson.  It is black with orange “jewels” around the base, is made of phthalate-free ABS, and is waterproof.  The vibe has a length of 6.5″.  For a vibrator like this, insertable length is not a concern for me because I know I’ll only want to use it on my clitoris.  The Gold Digger takes two AA batteries and the escalating vibrations are controlled by twisting the bottom of the base.

First impressions:  I love the silky feel of this vibe.  The jewels, however, were not quite what I was expecting.  They are quite raised from the base and are haphazardly glued in.  I suppose this doesn’t matter too much as the jewels won’t be that visible when the toy is in use.  But it was disappointing for me because I was excited about getting a sparkly, shiny toy.  (ETA from Alec:  I remembered on the website they say to ”use a condom for insertion to keep your jewels sitting pretty”.  Sure seems like an extra hassle to me.)

I loaded the batteries in and got down to work.  I know that I need maximum speed to get off so I promptly cranked this baby all the way to high.  Let’s just say that no one will ever accuse this vibe of being too quiet.  But a little noise never stopped me!  While the Gold Digger felt quite good against my clit, I knew almost right away that I wouldn’t be able to get off on the vibrations alone.  Thankfully I had my sweet Alec there to (quite literally) lend me a hand.  I did manage to have an orgasm but I’m fairly sure I would never be able to use this vibrator on my clit without other aids and still come.

I think this vibrator could be a good choice as a first toy for a beginner or for someone who doesn’t need super strong vibrations to orgasm.  I like that the Gold Digger is made of phthalate-free materials and is waterproof.  The price is pretty reasonable for this type of vibe.  I think I would have liked this toy more if the vibrations were stronger and the jeweled decorations were a little less cheap looking.  I’m not looking for a diamond-encrusted vibrator but I also don’t want to worry that the plastic jewels on my toy are going to pop off.  My verdict:  a good starter toy but if you’re looking for something flashy and a bit more serious, keep searching.
