Fun Factory Tiger G5 Review
My Verdict
Of course, there are a few obvious "cons" to the Tiger G5. It is quite expensive, it has a super long charging time, and the shorter stem by the base might not do anything for everyone's clit. Despite knowing and dealing with these aspects of the tiger G5, I am personally still deeply impressed by this toy! It's one of the most powerful vibrators I've ever used. I've never had that much success with g-spot vibrators and the texture and flexibility of the Tiger G5 really has changed the game for me. Additionally, I love the versatility of this toy! I love being able to use it for multiple erogenous zones and on/with my partner. I'm sure the Fun Factory Tiger G5 will remain a favorite in my nightstand!

Personal Experience
First Impressions With the Fun Factory Tiger G5
I don’t know about you, but I find this g-spot vibrator quite mesmerizing to look at it. I don’t know if it’s the name or not, but something about it signals a certain fierceness and power. When I first opened the box and took a real look at it, my eyes widened with excitement. Those “tiger stripes” really did make it look…. deliciously ominous! I was pleased to learn just how flexible the shaft was and how smooth and squishy the silicone felt when I was getting familiar with it. Having never really tried any insertables that were this flexible up until that point, I was very excited to see what this baby could do for me.The Real Tiger King…
The first time I put the Fun Factory Tiger G5 to use, I was sold after 10 minutes. Ladies and gentlemen, here he is. The true king of the jungle. The Tiger G5 has an incredible range of stimulation. From providing small and gentle rumbles like a purring kitty to a viscious beast sending mindblowingly powerful vibrations throughout your body. I started without any vibrations to focus on the sensation of the textured shaft. The flexibility felt so comfortable and I was able to angle the Tiger G5 in order to stimulate different areas of my vaginal canal. The textures did not cause as much friction as I thought they might and just felt like a great addition to the penetration. The internal vibrations were amazing! I had a blast enjoying all the different patterns (something I usually don’t find that interesting).Versatile Use
The second stem by the base of the shaft is meant to provide some additional clitoral stimulation, although it was not long enough to create any noticable pleasure there. The vibrations in that part are not very powerful either. However, as soon as I took the shaft itself to my clit, things started to happen immediately! I tried using it on my labia, my nipples, and just dragged across my skin on tender spots, and it felt really satisfying. In hindsight, the short stem was actually a blessing! I could easily maneuvre my Satisfyer Curvy 2+ down there to provide some intense clit sucker-action. The sheer intensity of these two toys made my eyes roll into the back of my head. Twice.Deep, Deep Rumbles
The second stem also makes sure the Tiger G5 is anal safe. Of course, I wanted to explore how these intense vibrations would feel in any erogenous zone available to me. I felt a bit brave taking it on without any warm-up, but the flexibility (and all the lube) actually made for a super smooth and comfortable (albeit, slow) insertion. Once I was past the “head”, the ridges actually felt quite pleasurable. And, yes, the deep rumbles that this toy sent through me totally made this anal adventure worth it. I felt accomplished and like I had unlocked a new realm of anal vibrating pleasure!Design
I am really impressed with the design of the Fun Factory Tiger G5. I know that some users have expressed frustration with the second little stem not really providing any clitoral stimulation unless you angle it signifianly (which may seem uncomfortable internally). However, I don't really mind! It means I can easily fit another toy or my fingers around my clit for extra stimulation, and for someone who has just never really enjoyed rigid, rabbit-like dual stimuators, this was perfect. The handle is great for keeping a solid grip on things and the buttons are placed perfectly for intuitive use.
Ease of Use
There's always a slight learning curve to vibrators with multiple buttons. You've got try scrolling through the different settings a few times first. But the buttons are super to easy once you've got the hang of it. They have a good placement in terms of hand placement on the loop. They light up and are easy to find. Overall, I think the Tiger G5 is super easy to use. The flexibility just leaves so much room for enjoyable experimentation with angles and insertion. The loop handle also makes it easy to keep steady. This product is definitely designed for intuitive use and it works well.
Quality
There's not much to say about the quality of the Fun Factory Tiger G5. Even though I may not be a personal fan of all of their products, I have respect for the overall quality of the products from Fun Factory. The power is impressive, the designs are elegant and functional, they are all 100% waterproof and body-safe. The Tiger G5 is no exception! I find the rumbly vibrations from this toy to be quite impressive compared to other similar products with similar promises - I find that the quality really speaks into this.
Price
Okay, okay, I know... The Tiger G5 is not cheap. And if you're on a budget, this roaring g-spot vibrator might not be a realistic option for you. Of course, you should consider whether or not these features will make your and bits happy. Also, in terms of the second stem not being long enough to provide clitoral stimulation during insertion, I think it's fair to expect proper dual stimulation (if that's what's promised) at that price point. But if you're like me and you actually want that (missing) feature, I personally think it's worth splurging on!
Performance
The Tiger G5 performs oh so well. What I found most impressive about it's performance was this very broad range of intensity. It did wonders when I wanted to use it for some really subtle external sensation play, it was great for a gradual build-up and for edging, and it still brought out the big guns when I was in need of some powerful vibration modes! The versatile design with the ridges, the small stem, and the loop handle just elevated that performance even more.
Packaging
The Fun Factory Tiger G5 comes in a nice and satisfying packaging. A box that smoothly slides open and reveals a top layer of two leaflets. An instruction manual and a full guide on how to elevate your experience with the Tiger G5 with fun, sexy games. Underneath, the vibrator itself is nestled in some glossy red cardboard next to a compartment containing the magnetic USB charger.
Materials and care
The Tiger G5 is made of 100% body-safe, non-porous materials - the shaft is covered in medical grade silicone and the handle is made of ABS plastic. It is 100% waterproof so it's super easy to clean. Simply rinse off any residue, lather it up with some mild, unscented soap and rinse with warm water. Let dry completely before storing it safely away form any dust or lint. Be sure to wash your Tiger G5 before and after use, as the silicone can a tendency to collect a lot of dust and hair.
Special feature
I would say the special features of the Tiger G5 is the impressive ribbed design to provide a fun and pleasurable sensation during penetration. The ridges are pronounced but not super rigid which minimizes the friction one might think could be an issue. A part of why it feels so comfortable is also because of the soft and squishy feel to the silicone. With FlexiFUN Technology™, the flexible shaft moves with your body and its natural curves, so you can send impressive vibrations to places you maybe couldn’t before.
