The G-spot, first proposed by German scientist Ernst Grafenberg in the 1950s and popularized in the 1980s, is a purported pleasure zone located on the interior frontal wall of the vagina, though its exact nature is still debated within modern science. While many vulva owners report pleasurable sensations from internal vaginal stimulation, the G-spot may be part of the larger internal clitoris, which extends into the body and can be stimulated through the anterior vaginal wall. Some researchers suggest that there is a specific area with increased nerve endings and blood vessels on this wall that contributes to pleasurable experiences.

Additionally, nearby Skene’s glands, often referred to as the “female prostate,” are believed to play a role in female ejaculation when stimulated. Despite the lack of definitive anatomical identification of the G-spot, exploring this area may lead to intense sexual pleasure and even orgasms, which can encourage people to explore what’s possible for their own intimate pleasure.

A G-spot vibrator is a sex toy specifically designed to stimulate the G-spot, an erogenous zone on the anterior vaginal wall. Its curved shape and often rounded head help users easily target the G-spot for deep stimulation and massage, enhancing sensations beyond what fingers alone can achieve. The consistent rhythm and intensity provided by vibration can lead to powerful orgasms and even female ejaculation (squirting). Because of their similar curved design, many anal-safe G-spot vibrators (those with flared bases) can also be used for prostate (P-spot) stimulation.

Most effective G-spot vibrators are designed for penetration and have thick, curved shafts, often resembling a “J” shape. Heads can be bulbous or on the flat side, with some featuring curved or hooked tips for pinpoint stimulation. Softness of the head is crucial for comfort; a hard head can be painful. The shaft should be firm enough for precise targeting, and the overall size should be appropriate for individual anatomy. Textured shafts can enhance pleasure.

Body-safe, non-porous materials are essential. Avoid PVC, jelly rubber, and vinyl due to potential phthalate content and their porous nature which harbors bacteria and fungi. Safer options include ABS plastic, Pyrex, stainless steel, and medical-grade silicone (though silicone cannot be boiled and shouldn’t be used with silicone-based lubricant). Medical-grade silicone (what Dame’s G-spot vibrator is made with) is often preferred for its softness, pliability, and easy cleaning.

The main difference between a G-spot vibrator and a G-spot dildo comes down to stimulation type and ease of use. G-spot vibrators use internal vibrations to stimulate the G-spot, which can be particularly effective for reaching and achieving orgasm in this sometimes difficult-to-access area. G-spot dildos, on the other hand, provide direct pressure and stimulation but do not vibrate. They are often a better choice for those who are too sensitive to internal vibrations or who want to incorporate G-spot stimulation. Ultimately, the best choice depends on personal preference.

You should always clean your vibrator after use to avoid any unwanted bacteria. Wash with soap and water or use a safe sex toy cleaner. Do not clean Arc with products containing 100% alcohol, petroleum, or acetone. Do not boil, bake, or clean Arc in the dishwasher.

No, it is not designed for anal use. Its base is not flared, meaning it lacks the wider shape necessary to comfortably and safely penetrate the anus. For anal stimulation, you'll need a toy specifically designed for anal play, featuring a flared base to prevent injury.

When playing with Arc G-spot vibrator, use a water-based lubricant or an oil-based moisturizer like Dame’s Play Balm. Silicone-based lubricants are not compatible and should be avoided. Remember to always thoroughly clean Arc with soap and water or a water-based sex toy cleaner after each use.

Yes! Vibrators must be able to discreetly travel, so the use of travel mode is always important. In order to activate travel mode, hold the power button for 10 seconds—the LED will blink for those 10 seconds and flash red at the end. In Travel Mode, Arc cannot be turned on accidentally. Just plug in Arc to a power source to exit this mode.
