'I almost did a Charlotte.' This is what happened when I *finally* tried The Rabbit.

The rabbit-style vibrator was the first one I ever heard about and yep, it was all thanks to Sex and the City

I remember the episode — episode nine, season one (in case you want to go back and watch) — because it was the first time I’d seen a group of women talk openly about loving a vibrator so much that they were scared for men. 

“You don’t even need them [men] to have sex with anymore, as I’ve just very pleasantly discovered,” Miranda says, speaking of her new Rabbit vibrator.

“Uh oh,” says Samantha. “Sounds like someone got their first vibrator!”

But Charlotte was the one who got properly hooked, cancelling on plans with the girls to stay at home and have orgasm after orgasm with The Rabbit. She was addicted to a type of orgasm she’d never experienced with a man before. One that she had control over, that she was guaranteed to experience each time, in a new and exciting way.

I guess this made me scared to try it out. I’ve tried heaps of other styles of vibrators – suction vibrators, dildos, wands, new styles for external stimulation and some for internal… but none for both. I’ve been worried that I wouldn’t have the mind-blowing experience Charlotte had in season one of SATC and that would mean that maybe I’ve been doing it wrong this whole time?

But finally, I put my overthinking aside and bought the Fifty Shades of Grey Greedy Girl Rabbit G-Spot Vibrator. This is my honest review.

What does the sex toy claim to do?

The Rabbit is all about blended stimulation and orgasm. It claims to give internal stimulation while also giving external clit stimulation to create an intense G-spot orgasm all round.

What was your first impression of the sex toy (just by looking at it)?

Honestly? I was a little scared.

Its name — ‘Greedy Girl’ — implies that it gives a lot, which I wasn’t sure I was prepared for. Plus, maybe there was a tiny sense of shame attached? Would I call myself a greedy girl?

Truthfully, my shadow of fear when opening up this toy reminded me just how much subconscious shame still exists around female pleasure and libido. Like, I definitely still feel self-conscious being the one who instigates sex or who "wants it" more. 

Also, this toy does look a little intimidating. It’s big and black and super sturdy. I mean, it looks like something that is going to feel intense.

How much is the sex toy? And do you think it’s worth it?

The Fifty Shades of Grey Greedy Girl G-Spot Vibrator is $139.95, which is on the more affordable end when it comes to rabbit vibrators and dildos. For this one specifically, I think it’s definitely worth it.

It has 36 possible vibration mode combinations, is USB rechargeable (you can travel with it), waterproof and surprisingly quiet.

What was it like using the sex toy? And how did it really feel?

Okay so I’ve heard about rabbit vibrators, but this was my first ever time using one. I think because I’ve heard about them so much, I scared myself away. Honestly, I wasn’t sure I could handle the double stimulation. But I enjoy it in sex, so why not in toy-form?

It was pretty amazing. It did feel intense pretty much from the get-go, on the lowest setting. But once my body acclimatised, it felt really good. One of my favourite things during sex with a man, is when he stimulates my clit while f**king me. This toy basically simulates that, but with a little more intensity and consistency — as you’d expect from something not-human.

The bunny ears fit perfectly around the outside of your clit, and the sensation of vibrations inside of you as well as surrounding the outside of the vulva is really damn good. I mean, I recently learnt that our G-spot spans pretty much our entire external and internal vulva, so the fact that this is a G-spot specific vibrator makes sense.

The orgasm was different, too. I didn’t feel as in control! I let the rabbit do its thing and I got carried away with it — and by carried away I mean an orgasm that lasted for like, minutes. My body was still trembling even after I’d turned the rabbit off. I’m not even being dramatic.

Describe the sex toy in three words.

Intimidating. Freeing. Uncontrollable.

This sex toy is best for people who want…

I’d say this is a toy for people who are a little further along on their self-pleasure journey. It’s a lot for those just getting started, both in the way it looks and also in the way it feels. 

This toy is for people who want to play with blended orgasms and simultaneous internal and external stimulation.

Any final words?

Don’t let a sex toy intimidate you, but also don’t feel bad if it does. There’s no rush or pressure to go into anything that feels a little uncomfortable for you right now. But just remember — there’s nothing wrong with being a ‘greedy girl’.
