I’m going to let you all in on a secret. I love a good G-spot vibrator, despite me not being a big fan of G-spot vibrations. And that’s because I consider them to be one of the most versatile kinds of sex toys.
Put one on your clit, and now you’ve got a clit vibrator with a handle and probably a bigger, more powerful motor than a lot of the mini clitoral vibes. Use it internally with the vibrations turned off and you’ve got yourself a dildo. They can do so many things. It’s no wonder that my all-time favorite vibrator, the L’amourose Prism V, is a G-spot vibe.
So when there’s a new G-spot vibrator on the scene that’s getting some hype in the sex toy community, I feel duty-bound to check it out for myself.
Today we’re talking about the Sola Cue, which was kindly sent to me by the good folks at SheVibe.
The first thing to know about this toy is that it is strong. The Sola Cue is officially the most powerful insertable vibe in my collection, edging out the formidable We-Vibe Rave. It’s not a huge power difference, but it is definitely stronger. It’s also a rumbly little bugger on the lower settings, which is always awesome, though it does get a bit buzzier as you turn it up.
It’s got five steady intensity settings, which I’d say is adequate. Not as many as I’d like, but it’s more than three, so it’s doing better than a lot of other vibes. There’s also five patterns.
One drawback to this toy though is that the handle vibrates nearly as much as the head does. That doesn’t massively bother me because I’m a weirdo who usually holds my handled vibes in the middle anyway, so I’m used to it. But I know a lot of other folks really dislike it, especially because hands vibrating can agitate things like arthritis and carpal tunnel, so that’s something to keep in mind.
Another issue with the Cue is that it takes an absurdly long time to turn on or off. You have to hold the button down for a full 3-4 seconds, which feels longer in real life than it sounds like. It’s long enough for me to have a brief flash of panic almost every time I try to turn the toy on where I think, “oh shit, it’s dead,” before it finally buzzes to life. And if you’re in a situation where you need to turn the toy off quickly, that’s just not going to happen.
You may recall this is a problem I also had with the Blush Hop Trix Rabbit, which makes sense because Blush and Sola are run by the same company.
As with most other “G-spot” vibrators in my collection, I tend to use the Sola Cue externally most of the time. But it actually is a really solid G-spotter as well. I’d probably prefer if it had a more pronounced head, but I feel like the powerful motor really makes up for that.
I’ve also gotta give Sola props for making this vibe a really pretty powder blue color and not fucking purple like every other sex toy on the planet. You may assume from my hair that I just can’t get enough purple in my life, but trust me, we have reached the limit in my sex toy collection.
Price-wise, SheVibe currently lists the Cue for $79.99, making it what I consider a mid-range toy. It’s certainly not inexpensive, but it’s also not quite what I’d call luxury. And it does look and feel like a mid-range vibrator: it’s got some high-end qualities like the motor, the rechargeability, and the fact that it’s waterproof, but visually it’s not perfect. There’s some areas on mine where the silicone has some lumps and bumps, and you can see the glue where the body meets the plastic at the end of the handle.
But for a vibe this strong and rumbly, that price is pretty unbeatable, considering comparable toys like the Prism, the Rave, and the L’amourose Rosa sell for $20, $40, and $70 more, respectively.
One final thing I want to note about the Cue is that it’s not the quietest toy out there. It isn’t ridiculously loud, but it does produce a pretty audible buzz, and unlike a lot of other toys, its sound doesn’t really dampen when it’s in contact with the body.
But overall, I think the Sola Cue is an absolutely fantastic vibrator and definitely a favorite of mine. I reach for this thing all the time, and I don’t see that slowing down any time soon.
