[Toy Review] Godemiche Grind Pads

Published on September 18, 2023April 2, 2026 by Amy

I’m a big fan of Godemiche’s Grind Rings, deceptively simple yet utterly ingenious (and surprisingly versatile) sex toys. Originally designed with clitoral stimulation during penetrative sex in mind, they can be used in a huge array of different ways. Godemiche has now added these strap-down Grind Pad variations to their grinder range as an alternative to the original wearable version.

Godemiche Grind Ring and Godemiche Grind Pad

Godemiche sent me four Grind Pads to try.

What Makes the Godemiche Grind Pad Different?

Godemiche’s Grinding Pad is a rectangular, non-wearable variation on the Grind Ring theme. Instead of a hole to make it wearable, each pad come with adjustable straps (available in a range of colours). This means they can be attached to a surface, whether that’s a partner’s thigh, a pillow, the arm of a chair… or whatever other options you can dream up.

The Godemiche Grind Pad is currently available in the Bubbles, Spikes, and Tall Waves basic textures as well as three dual texture versions. It’s also worth mentioning that these toys are made in the “High Grind” style, meaning that their mounds are more raised and pronounced.

All Godemiche clit grinders are made from body-safe silicone. Highly textured grinders can be a bit of a pain to clean, so I recommend using the boiling method to ensure they’re properly sterilised.

Grind Ring, Grind Pad, or Vibe Pad?

Godemiche dual texture clit grinder collection

With an expanding range of clitoral grinders, let’s do a quick breakdown of Godemiche’s main grinder categories:

Grind Rings have a hole for a penis or dildo to fit through, making them ideal for use during partnered penetrative sex
Grind Pads don’t have the hole but instead come with straps so that you can attach them to a surface such as a piece of furniture, toy mount, or partner’s leg
Vibe Pads are shaped like Grind Pads and also come with straps, but have a space in the back to add a bullet vibrator

Soft or Firm?

The Grind Pads and Vibe Pads are available in two choices of firmness level: soft or firm. I selected two “soft” toys and one “firm” toy to allow me to try both.

This choice is all about how much intensity you like. To understand your preferences here, think about other toys you’ve used, or how you masturbate. Do you tend to press toys firmly against your vulva or apply a lot of pressure with your hand? If so, choose a firmer toy. If you use a softer or lighter touch, on the other hand, choose the soft option.

I prefer the firmer toys overall, as I tend to like a higher level of pressure.

Godemiche Grind Pad: “Bubbles”

The higher mound of the Bubbles Grind Pad provides targeted clitoral stimulation and a firm yet squishy surface to grind down on. This texture is one of the gentler options in Godemiche’s range, offering a smooth and gliding (especially when coupled with a little lube) yet bouncy sensation.

This is one that really benefits from the Medium firmness instead of the standard Extra Soft silicone.

Godemiche Dual Texture Grind Pad: “Bubbles & Suckers”

Godemiche Bubbles and Suckers clit grinder

This Grind Pad combines the Bubbles texture from the original range with Godemiche’s brand-new Suckers texture. The suckers are inspired by tentacles and similar to one of the textures in the Offbeat masturbator range.

As you grind against this one, the suckers provide a gentle tugging, almost kissing sensation. The suckers are spaced out in a V shape, providing a spread of sensation across the entire vulva. I particularly love the three suckers in the middle, which are perfectly positioned to hit my clit every time I move over it.

In my experience at least, this one provides the gentlest sensation of the three dual texture Grind Pads. I requested it in soft and in hindsight, I think I should probably have gone for the medium firmness. I enjoy it, but it’s sometimes not quite… enough?

Godemiche Dual Texture Grind Pad: “Ridges and Bumps”

This one combines the Ridges (one of my all-time faves from Godemiche’s clit grinder textures!) with lots of tiny little bumps between the ridges.

You get the constant back-and-forth rubbing sensation of the ridges, combined with the additional all-over stimulation of the bumps. My initial instinct with this one was to grind against it hard, but actually I find that a little less pressure works best here. Easing off the pressure a little bit means that I feel the bumps much more.

Again, I requested this one in soft and I think firm might have been the preferable option. It’s a great combination of textures, but I really wanted to feel the bumps a little more than I did. It might also help if they were just very slightly larger.

Godemiche Dual Texture Grind Pad: “Bubbles and Bumps”

Godemiche Bubbles and Bumps clit grinder

I’ve saved the best for last here. This is my favourite dual texture of the three, and has quickly become one of my most-used grinders. (I recently had a major sort-out of my toy collection and realised I own more than 20 grinders, so this is high praise!)

With this one, you get the bouncy sensation of the large bubbles, with the addition of dozens of little raised bumps flicking across your vulva and clit every time you move. Depending on how much pressure I apply against it, I can get either a teasing flicker or a hard, consistent rubbing sensation.

The firmer silicone option I chose makes this one, I think. The little bit of extra firmness really allows the bumps to come into their own.

Verdict

Anyone surprised to hear Godemiche have knocked it out of the park once again? These Grind Pads are a fantastic addition to the clit grinder range, particularly the dual texture versions. They offer yet another array of interesting, unusual, and incredibly pleasurable sensations to explore.

I’ll never get enough of these toys, or of yelling about how fucking brilliant I think they are. This is a great option when you want to use your grinding toys in ways that aren’t penetrative sex.

Single texture Grind Pad prices start from £44.99. Firmer silicone, custom colourways, and longer straps all bump up the cost. Dual texture Grind Pads start from £49.99.

[Toy Review] Godemiche Grind Rings

Published on November 22, 2021April 2, 2026 by Amy1 Comment

Back in the day, Godemiche’s Twitter bio said that their goal was “not to break the mold, but recolour it.” Their Ambit is a simple yet near-perfect dildo, and they offer an array of body-safe dildos, plugs, strokers, gags and more in a dizzying array of colours and combinations. But despite this stated aim, the Godemiche Grind Ring really does break a few molds.

In a world of endless knock-offs and derivatives, it is so refreshing when I see sex toy designers doing something genuinely new and innovative. And I have never come across anything quite like the Grind Ring before. But what is a Grind Ring, how does it work, and—most importantly—is it good?

What is a Grind Ring?

A Grind Ring is a piece of silicone shaped a bit like a pizza slice, with a hole designed to fit around the penis or dildo during penetrative sex. Its main purpose is to provide extra external stimulation to a person with a clitoris. Each of these innovative clit grinders has a raised mound covered in one of nine textures.

Each Grind Ring measures 6″ in length and 4.3″ across at the widest point, and feature a stretchy hole for a penis or dildo to fit through at the base.

In Godemiche’s words:

The Grind Ring is a soft textured piece of body safe silicone that’s shaped like a pizza slice with a bulge for grinding. Dare we say it, it’s also more enjoyable then a pizza slice too and way fucking dirtier.

This review covers the original “low grind” Grind Ring in its nine available textures as well as one of the “high grind” variations. There are also Dual Density and Dual Texture Grind Rings available.

So How Does it Work?

Most people with vulvas need sustained clitoral stimulation to reach orgasm, which penis-in-vagina intercourse doesn’t always provide. The main purpose of a Grind Ring, as I mentioned above, is to provide that clitoral stimulation during penetrative sex. So, naturally, Mr C&K and I began by testing it that way.

After trying a few different positions, we concluded that by far the most effective way to use this toy was with me on top. This allowed me to effectively grind down against the textured surface. However, any position that involves a lot of close, face-to-face bodily contact works pretty well. Positions with more space between bodies tend to make the Grind Ring flap around and slip out of position.

While using a Grind Ring did not get me to orgasm during penetrative sex (the stimulation was a little too inconsistent for that), it did up the intensity and add a lot of additional pleasure.

Other Ways to Use These Toys

The fun thing about sex toys is that you don’t have to just use them in the way they were originally designed to be used. Wand vibrators on penises or clitoral suckers on nipples, anyone?

The Grind Ring (or any pussy grinder, for that matter) is no different.

Girl on the Net posted a brilliant piece about using it “wrong” (there’s obviously no such thing!) and I was inspired to try her “textured Doxy wank” idea[1].

[1] Since I initially wrote this review, Godemiche have added textured Doxy and Magic Wand attachment heads to their line-up!

Let’s dive into the review of the various Grind Ring textures.

Godemiche Grind Ring: “Waves”

Godemiche Waves Grind Ring clitoral sex toy

I received the Waves Grind Ring in gorgeous pastel pearlescent green.

This Grind Ring was perhaps the biggest surprise of the range. After feeling how soft its silicone ripples are, I wasn’t sure how much I’d be able to feel them. But when I ground against them, especially when they had a firm surface underneath, they felt like a series of repeated licks from dozens of little silicone tongues. Since the waves are so close together and flex as you rub against them, it offers a smooth, flowing, continuous sensation.

Godemiche Grind Ring: “Bumps”

Godemiche Bumps Grind Ring sex toy for clit

I received this one in Aquamarine, a deep sea-green shade.

The Bumps Grind Ring is the perfect middle ground in terms of intensity compared to others in the range. The little nodules are small and quite close together so whichever way I move against them, several of them are always making contact with my clit from various angles. This one works best for long, slow, back-and-forth movements.

Godemiche Grind Ring: “Bubbles”

Godemiche Grind Ring silicone clitoral stimulator in Bubbles

I received the Bubbles Grind Ring in a shade of watery blue known as “Reefs Water.”

This was actually the first Grind Ring Mr C&K and I tried as an addition to penetrative sex. I had a feeling this one would be gentle, which it was and it wasn’t. This one is ultra smooth and offers a squishy “bounce” when you move against it. Rather than the licking sensation of the Waves or the flicky back-and-forth of the Pills and Spikes, the main sensation of the Bubbles is one of pressure.

Godemiche Grind Ring: “Spikes”

Godemiche Grind Ring clitoral stimulator in Spikes

I received the Spikes Grind Ring in a vibrant shade of orange known as “Dragon’s Breath.”

My first thought when I saw this texture was “eek”. The Spikes Grind Ring looked like it might be too intense for my sensitive clit. As it turns out, that’s the case sometimes but not always. I have to be in a specific mood for the Spikes Grind Ring, and that mood is “craving something so intense it’s almost too much”. It’s not painful, as the silicone is indeed very soft and squishy. It’s just… a lot.

The Spikes Grind Ring creates a teasing, unpredictable flicking sensation. One amazing thing I discovered about this one: if I lay it across my vulva and use a powerful vibrator over the top of it, the tips of the spikes transmit the vibrations in very interesting ways.

Godemiche Grind Ring: “Hearts”

Godemiche Hearts Grind Ring, Valentine's Day sex toy

I knew I wanted my Godemiche Hearts Grind Ring in a Valentine’s-themed colour, so I opted for this shimmery pinkish-red known as “Ruby Rose.”

The Hearts Grind Ring feels somewhat similar to the Bubbles. It offers a similar kind of deep pressure when you grind against it, but the larger and flatter surface of the hearts makes it feel a little less bouncy. Due to the shape of the hearts, I find that this texture is more intense on the downward motion than on the upward motion.

Godemiche Grind Ring: “Pyramids”

Pyramid Spikes and Tall Pyramids Grind Rings from Godemiche — “Pyramids” (left) and “Tall Pyramids” (right)

I received the Pyramids Grind Ring in a green and burgundy/purple swirl colourway called “Garden Party.”

Adam from Godemiche says that the Pyramids Grind Ring texture was “inspired by a belt I happened to see someone wearing while out grocery shopping. It reminded me of my skater boy days when none of my trousers fit and I often opted for a studded belt to keep them around my thighs.” If you can’t picture what he means, think something like this.

I expected the Pyramids to feel a lot like the Spikes, but they don’t. They’re less flexible and, though they’re still soft, they have a firmer texture. The overall sensation is more targeted, deeper, and less “flicky.”

Godemiche Grind Ring: “Tall Pyramids”

Godemiche Spikes and Tall Pyramids Grind Rings — “Tall Pyramids” (right) and “Spikes” (left)

I received the Tall Pyramid Spikes in a reddish-purple shade called “Winter Berry.”

As you can see in the above picture, these tall pyramid spikes are noticeably smaller than those on the Spikes ring. So though that’s probably the closet comparison in terms of sensation, they’re really quite different.

The Tall Pyramids are very soft and very flexible, and they really don’t feel “pointy” at all. You can get a range of sensations from this one: if I grind down hard against it, I get an all-over rubbing sensation, whereas if I support some of my weight and just glide my vulva along it, it’s more of a gentle tickle.

I think I like this texture best because you get constant stimulation as the spikes slide along your vulva. The flicking of the little pyramids feel like dozens of little silicone tongues lapping at and around my clit.

Godemiche Grind Ring: “Pills”

I received the Pills Grind Ring in “Green UV,” one of Godemiche’s brightest shades.

This is perhaps the softest of all the Grind Ring textures, and Godemiche recommends it as a suitable texture for beginners to grinding toy. The Pills texture offers a flicking sensation similar to the Spikes and Tall Pyramids, but far softer. Even when you grind down hard into it, the overall sensation is still pretty light. This one borders on tickly.

I often reach for the Pills Grind Ring at the start of a session because it’s a great warm-up texture.

Godemiche Grind Ring: “Tall Waves”

Godemiche Grind Ring in Tall Waves texture

I received the Tall Waves ring in Godemiche Purple, the company’s signature shade.

The Tall Waves is a twist on the original Waves texture, only with higher ridges. Like the original Waves, this one offers continuous, rhythmic back-and-forth thanks to the softness and close placement of the silicone tongues. This one is soft enough for a long session but intense enough that it usually doesn’t take very long at all to get me off.

High Grind Ring: “Bubbles”

Godemiche’s High Grind Ring variation is different from the original design in one important way: it has “a much larger mound designed to bring the texture even closer to your body while being designed to be comfortable on your genitals.”

Other than that, it’s the same Grind Ring design you know and love. I received the High Grind Ring in the Bubbles texture, which was the only one available at the time. It’s now also available in “Spikes,” “Tall Waves,” and a new texture known as “Suckers.”

Bubbles isn’t a Grind Ring texture I reach for super often as it’s a little too gentle for me. But the more raised style of the High Grind Ring adds a little more of the intensity I was seeking. The silicone mound provides more to grind against and is firm enough to offer significant pressure.

Interestingly, due to the more raised mound, the High Grind provides slightly more focused clitoral pressure and slightly less in terms of broad, all-over vulva stimulation. This isn’t necessarily a good or bad thing. It’s just different, and you should take your own preferences into account when deciding whether the Low Grind or High Grind will work best for you.

Verdict

I still love the absolute fuck out of these toys. They’re innovative, they’re versatile, and they’re shockingly effective.

Totally fucking brilliant. I am obsessed with the Godemiche Grind Rings and I will be shouting about them to anyone who will listen.

Grind Rings start from £39.99. Custom colours, a higher mound, or adding a vibrating “V-Plate” all increase the cost.

[Toy Review] Godemiche Offbeat

Published on May 12, 2019April 2, 2026 by Amy

I’ve been sitting on this one for a long damn time, in part because it took us so long to get to actually testing this toy. But after giving it a second trial run, I am ready to tell you all about the Offbeat silicone masturbator (stroker) from Godemiche.

Godemiche, a UK-based retailer run by husband-and-wife duo Adam and Monika, has been making gorgeous, hand-poured silicone dildos for a number of years now. They’ve now branched out into penis toys as well. (And yes, their marketing copy refers to the Offbeat as a toy for the penis, not the less inclusive but more common “toy for men.”)

What is the Offbeat Silicone Masturbator?

Outside of Godemiche silicone masturbator

The OffBeat is a tube-shaped penis masturbator made of silicone. It is available in five different internal textures. We received “Bumps”, which Godemiche describes as “a balanced texture that’s not too intense, not too light – perfect for first-timers.” The outside has a gentle ripple texture, and the company name is stamped along the rim at the bottom.

Each OffBeat comes in its own little storage tub which looks like a miniature poster tube. This useful addition makes for easy and hygienic storage and travel.

Unfortunately, most of the penis strokers and masturbators on the market are still made of porous and sometimes toxic materials such as jelly, rubber, PVC, TPE/TPR, and the notoriously vague “Realistic Feel.” So I can’t say enough how good it is to see a body-safe silicone stroker at an affordable price (especially when you consider how long it should last!)

Sizes and Colours and Customisation Galore

The OffBeat silicone masturbator: “Grande” (short) is 2″ in length, and “Venti” (full-length) is 4″. Both sizes are 1.1″ in diameter and stretchy. The Grande is ideal for those who prefer concentrated stimulation around the head of the penis, while the Venti is best for whose who enjoy having their entire shaft stimulated. The Grande is also a great companion to oral sex! If you’re looking for something that feels more akin to penetrative sex, choose the Venti.

We received the longer Grande version to try out.

The OffBeat, like Godemiche’s dildos, is available in numerous colours. Ours is pearlescent gold and it’s absolutely beautiful. You can choose Godemiche Purple or a surprise colourway at no extra cost, or pay £10 more to select your own colour from the 32 (at time of writing) on offer.

Offbeat Silicone Stroker: In Use

I obviously don’t have a penis, so I turned to ~~my trusty stunt-cock~~ Mr C&K to help me out with this one and asked him to report back.

Apparently, the bobbles on the inside of the toy provided a good amount of friction and sensation without needing to grip very hard at all. This may make it a good choice for people who suffer from hand or wrist pain when masturbating or giving hand sex to a partner. The gentle ripple shape of the outside of the sleeve also means it sits comfortably in the hand, a finger in each dip.

Inside of Godemiche silicone masturbator

Mr C&K also said that one of the things he likes about this toy is that it is so simple, but really makes masturbation feel substantially different from usual. He likened it to the difference between masturbating with your dominant vs non-dominant hand, or the difference between touching yourself and someone else stroking you. Basically, if you’re looking to change up your usual masturbation routine for any reason, grab yourself one of these!

The Offbeat silicone masturbator is stretchy, allowing for most users to enjoy it regardless of penis size and then “hugging” the cock once it’s inserted. For maximum comfort and pleasure, I recommend adding water-based lube to both your penis and the inside of the toy.

The Offbeat can be a little bit of a faff to clean due to all the little ridges and bobbles. I suggest turning it inside out before boil-sterilising it every few uses or before sharing it with a partner. In between uses, a good wash with some hot water and gentle antibacterial soap should do the trick.

Offbeat Silicone Masturbator: Verdict

Mr C&K and I both really like this toy! It’s simple, effective, body-safe, affordable, and should suit a wide range of bodies. We might just go and get all five textures, honestly!

The OffBeat retails for prices starting from £29.99 (Grande) and £35.99 (Venti) from Godemiche.

[Toy Review] Godemiche Ambit & Morpheus Silicone Dildos

Published on January 20, 2018April 2, 2026 by Amy

Godemiche is known for their fun and playful toys in bright, colourful, sparkly, and fun aesthetics. As they say: “we’re not trying to break the mold, but recolour it.” Godemiche sent me two of their bestselling silicone dildos, the Ambit and Morpheus, to test, compare, and review.

All Godemiche toys are made of body-safe silicone and available with various customisations to create a dildo that’s uniquely yours. You can choose one, two, or three colours from more than 30 options. Both my toys are in limited edition colourways that are sadly no longer available. However, I promise that any colour or combo you choose will be equally gorgeous and vibrant!

Godemiche Ambit Silicone Dildo

The Godemiche Ambit is available in three sizes. I received the 6″ version, which is the middle of three sizes. It measures 1.8″ in diameter at the widest point. The smaller size measures 5.2″ in length and 1.44″ in diameter, and the larger size measures 6.9″ in length and 1.83″ in diameter.

The Godemiche Ambit’s silicone is soft, matte, and flexible. It has a large, round base, which makes it harness-compatible and also anal-safe. The generous curve of the shaft and bulge at the head gives it a semi-realistic appearance. The tip’s angle is just right to deliver intense and focused G-spot stimulation.

I also found this dildo to be pretty much the perfect size for me. I’m not particularly into very large toys, and lengthy dildos in particular can be uncomfortable. I found the medium length and slimline shaft of the Ambit just about perfect.

From my perspective at least, the Godemiche Ambit is basically the perfect dildo. It’s the perfect size, the perfect shape, and comes in a myriad of fun and playful colours.

The Ambit retails from £34.99 for the small, £39.99 for the medium, and £44.99 for the large. Customisations increase the cost.

Godemiche Morpheus Silicone Dildo

Godemiche Morpheus green glittery silicone dildo

The Godemiche Morpheus is available in four sizes. I received the Morpheus Thin Small, which measures 5.5″ in insertable length and 1.2″ in diameter at the widest point. The Thin Medium measures 7″ in insertable length and 1.5″ in diameter. There’s also the Morpheus Thick, which comes in Small (5.5″ insertable/1.4″ diameter) and Medium (7″ insertable/2″ diameter). So whatever your length and girth preferences, you should be able to find a Morpheus to suit you.

I rarely gravitate towards girthy penetrative toys. I find that they cross the line from pleasurable to uncomfortable, or even painful, very quickly. When it comes to insertable toys, I’m all about direct and targeted G-spot stimulation. This means that slimline toys with a decent curve, such as the Godemiche Ambit or Morpheus, tend to be the way to go. The Morpheus’s slimline shaft is perfect for my body in this regard.

Flexible dildo, green silicone dildo from Godemiche

This toy’s deep curve and bulbed head are also absolutely dreamy. The head is the ideal size for focused G-spot pressure, and the curve makes it easy to find the right spot. It’s also super flexible, which can help with comfortable insertion and positioning. Its flared base also makes it anal safe and harness-compatible.

Like the Ambit, the Morpheus is a genuinely excellent dildo and a worthy addition to Godemiche’s range and my collection.

The Morpheus retails from £39.99 for the small sizes, £44.99 for the Thin Medium, and £46.99 for the Thick Medium.

Ambit vs Morpheus: Which Should You Pick?

In general, the Godemiche Ambit and Morpheus are pretty similar dildos and they’re both absolutely excellent. Here’s what they look like next to each other:

Godemiche Ambit and Morpheus silicone dildo comparison

The most notable differences are that the Morpheus has a slightly more pronounced curve and a thinner shaft. Its head is also more gently tapered and less pronounced than the Ambit.

If you like a little more girth, go for the Godemiche Ambit or the Morpheus Thick. If curve is more important to you, choose the Morpheus. The Ambit is best for those who like a little more G-spot/prostate pressure or stimulation of the sensitive vaginal or anal opening, while the Morpheus is best for those who prefer a smoother and less intense insertion.
