G-Spot Link
As much as I hate to admit it, I’m getting older and staying in one position for an extended period of time without adequate support isn’t as easy as it used to be. Things get tired, cramp up, or go numb. I’m happy to have any help I can get when it comes to sexual positioning aids, which is why I requested a G-Spot Link by Sportsheets from Fascinations to review.
First, let me give props to Sportsheets for their awesome customer service. The G-Spot Link came with a little instruction pamphlet thingy, which I promptly lost. Not wanting to complete my review without being able to refer to it, I visited the Sportsheets website to see if they had it available for download. Not finding it, I sent an email to customer service asking for a PDF of the G-Spot Link instructions, explaining that I had lost mine. Within an hour of my email, I received a reply offering to mail me a replacement. Less than a week later, I checked my mail to find a large envelope containing not just the G-Spot Link booklet, but also a product demo DVD, a copy of their 2011 catalog, warranty information, and promo materials for the “Sex in the Shower” line and new products. Can you tell I love swag?
Okay, now on to the G-Spot Link. It basically consists of 2 neoprene cuffs, each measuring 2 inches wide and 11 inches long, with a 1 1/2-inch wide velcro closure. The velcro goes almost all the way around the cuff, so they can be adjusted quite tightly. The two cuffs are joined by a plastic buckle closure on an adjustable nylon strap. The 2-inch buckle can slide along the strap to make the distance between the cuffs vary from 3 to 13 inches.
The packaging is an easy-to-open clear plastic clamshell with a paper insert displaying a couple in simulated sex positions on the front and back. It’s not totally discreet, but the pictures are very tastefully done. Inside is the G-Spot Link and a wee instruction booklet. When I first opened it, there was a strong neoprene smell, but after a day or two of airing it dissipated. I’m definitely glad I got a replacement info booklet, as it explains how the G-Spot Link enables women to hold their legs up, which tilts their hips and allows deeper penetration. It also includes suggestions for use and describes the Windshield Wiper Technique.
Neoprene is a water resistant synthetic rubber material. It’s used for making wetsuits, so it’s lightweight and spongy. It’s also easy to clean: just wash with soap and water and air dry. The cuffs are really comfortable to wear, as the neoprene is soft. It’s handy to already have them on, then just attach or disconnect as necessary when switching positions without any interruption of play. If I could change one thing, I would make it so that the buckle strap disconnects from both cuffs. Since it stays attached to one, I can’t really wear these around the house because then the strap drags along the floor.
The velcro is nice and sturdy, but it also makes a pretty loud tearing sound when you pull it apart. Also, wearing these cuffs higher up along my leg isn’t as comfortable because the neoprene ends don’t meet, and that leaves a band of scratchy velcro against my skin. I realize this might not be an issue for everybody, but I thought it worth mentioning.
The G-Spot Link does its job very well, and logically it makes perfect sense. By the time I’m at an arousal level where I’m ready for deeper penetration, my legs are often starting to wonder when they’ll get a break, and this really makes a big difference as I can keep my legs elevated with little to no effort. But that’s not all the G-Spot Link is good for. I also like to wear the cuffs around my ankles when I’m stretching. I can grab on to them, and it helps me get just a wee bit more of a stretch. They can also double as wrist cuffs for light bondage play since they’re so adjustable.
I’m definitely glad I got this for review, as it’s something I’m going to use often. I don’t believe Fascinations carries this product anymore, but you can check out other sex toys and positioning aids there.
