Once bitten, twice shy. That’s exactly how I felt about the Fun Factory pulsating toy line. Happy as I was upon getting word of a brand new Stronic toy making the rounds, I couldn’t help but have slight misgivings. Like the proverbial wet blanket, this bit of uncertainty put a huge damper on what should have a celebratory moment. And let’s face it, a fresh, new Fun Factory design, like the new Stronic G, is most assuredly a legitimate cause for celebration.

Or, at least in my book, it is, anyway.

So yeah, the sweetness of the moment was tainted by a gnawing worry that the new Stronic toy might not be any better suited for me than the first one I’d tried was.

Where is all of this skepticism coming from, you ask? Well, it goes back to my introduction to the Fun Factory pulsating toy collection. Which, if you couldn’t tell already, left quite the impression. I’ll never forget holding my new Bi Stronic Fusion for the first time. It was a moment of pure wonderment and joy.

I felt like a kid at Christmas tearing into and finally clutching their newly acquired, prized possession. The toy they’d been desperately plotting, pleading, and bargaining with their parents for all year long.

At long last, the trophy was in hand.

When I pressed the little red fun button, all the wishing, waiting, scrimping, and saving seemed beyond worth it all. I was thrilled, all the hype was true. Through some strange combination of physics, mechanics, and the law of magnetic attraction, the Bi Stronic Fusion actually moved back and forth, side to side in thrusting movements. Just like Fun Factory promised!

Oh, it was a magnificent sight it was to behold!

Except, (I bet you could sense this was coming,) that is where the fairytale ends for me and my Bi Stronic Fusion. Oh, yes, I readily admit that I loved its girthy shaft and signature pulsation. However, the shallow vibrations of the external butterfly-shaped attachment, the deciding factor in my choosing the Fusion over Piph’s recommendation of the Eins in the first place, left me feeling majorly underwhelmed.

This was quickly followed up by an immense sense of regret for stupidly spending such a large amount of money on a toy I’d taken a complete and total gamble on. I’d done absolutely no research, assuming the addition of the clit vibe would make the Stronic Fusion off-the-charts amazing.

So really there was no one to blame but me. I was sick, suffering from a debilitating case of buyer’s remorse. Something, I wish on no one, not even my worst enemy.

So, you see, this is why I was a little suspicious of the new Stronic G and the possibility of our compatibility.

Except, who, may I ask, would pass up the chance to try the latest and greatest offering of an industry legend, like Fun Factory? Not me, that’s who. When opportunity knocks, I listen.

Plus, would it be fair of me to write off the Stronic G based purely on my past disappointments with another toy. Only because it’s part of the same line? Of course not.

Still, having no experience with any other toy from the Stronic line I can reference, I can’t help from making the occasional comparison between the Stronic G and the Bi Stronic Fusion.

To give you some idea of this toy’s size, the Stronic G’s eleven ounces feel considerably lighter, than its bulkier older sibling, the Fusion. Not only that, but the Stronic G is also slimmer and slightly shorter. With a diameter of 1.4-inches and a length of 8.2-inches. As it turns out, this was the only circumstance where I preferred the design of the Bi Stronic. Best believe this, I like my toys girthy.

Something that has literally no bearing on the toy’s performance, and is purely a matter of personal preference, is its color. It’s a pale, aquamarine. Or the same gorgeous shade as the sun-warmed water off the coast of a white sandy beach, of some remote tropical island. The ones that are always featured on the cover of the travel magazines in the waiting room of my dentist’s office.

It’s a color that’s on the cool spectrum, yet it somehow manages to be warm and inviting.

Admittedly, virtually anything would have been an improvement over the dreary, eggplant purple of the Bi Stronic Fusion I choose. I’ll just add it to the ever-expanding list of questionable choices I’ve made throughout my life.

I don’t want to minimize the importance of the Stronic G’s silhouette in its being so successful. The shape alone, is not groundbreaking or even new, for that matter. It can easily be found in use among other popular brands. Yet, it is exactly this flattened upturned tip that is the key to understanding how this toy easily manages to caress and kiss the G-spot in all the right places.

This toy’s distinct shape, paired with the rhythmic back and forth motion of the 10 pulsating options, ranging from a gentle hypnotic sway to a faster-paced gallop, works in unison to mimic the universally taught G-spot pleaser: Better known as the come-hither hand motion.

Of course, a machine could never ever come close to mirroring the nimbleness and dexterity of a pair of warm, skillful human hands. I will say this, the Stronic G is close enough to be a fill-in for me.

And speaking as someone who’s stamina tends to evaporate rather quickly after several minutes of strenuous, rapid thrusting, this toy is a Godsend. I can lay back and just enjoy the ride. The Stronic G has the thrusting covered. All that’s left for me to do, is to reach down and occasionally change the setting. Which is easy enough to manage, thanks to the easy to find and low-pressure activation of the buttons.

Or if nothing else, I’ll man the clit vibe that I typically use as a companion to the Stronic G. Since clit stim, is an essential component of my reaching orgasm.

It’s all really great, I love it. It’s truly the epitome of lazy masturbation. Now, if I can find a toy to eliminate my having to hold the clit vibe. Ha! Yeah, right! Can’t blame me for dreaming, can you?

So, yes, the Stronic G is a clever design. One that’s based on a real-world, tried-and-true method of stimulating the G-spot. It came through in all ways the Fusion failed.

I do want to leave you with a word of caution, the Stronic G, is probably not the best choice for those still fleshing out their desires. Or those that are new to sex toys. Not to diminish those who are new to sex toys, not in the least. It’s just that laying out two Benjamins for a sex toy is no small sum of money. I really don’t think the Stronic G is a practical choice for first-time buyers.

I only want to shield you from experiencing an episode of painful buyer’s remorse. Like I encountered after purchasing the Bi Stronic Fusion. Yet, if you insist on making the Stronic G your very first toy, please read each and every review you can get your hands on. And watch as many videos as you can possibly find. Leave no room for regret.

I’ll chalk this up to another lesson learned. Never judge a toy as lacking by mere association alone. Turns out, if I had based my decision on the Stronic G based solely on my assumptions and misinformed presumptions alone, I would have missed out on a cool toy. One that I really enjoy using.

Wow, it’s a life lesson disguised in the form of a sex toy review.
