Tag: hump and grind toys

Godemiche started my clit grinder toy obsession way back when they released their very first Grind Rings, and have continued to feed it with the addition of numerous new (excellent!) products to their range. The latest is their dual texture grinders, combining two different textures into one toy.

I firmly believe that grinding (also known as humping) is a deeply underrated sex act for anyone with a clitoris. Toys like this are on a mission to let everyone know just how awesome it can be, and offer a bunch of ways to make it even more so.

Let’s dive in.

Godemiche Dual Texture Clit Grinder: Variations

Within Godemiche’s dual texture clit grinder collection, there are numerous variations for you to choose from. Let’s break them down a bit.

Grind Ring, Grind Pad or Vibe Pad?

There are three different types of Godemiche dual texture clit grinders to choose from:

• 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

The textures are the same on all three toys, but which one you choose will depend how you want to use it. Personally, the Grind Pads are the ones I reach for the most often.

High Grind or Low Grind?

This refers to how raised the textured portion of the toy is. The key to choosing high grind or low grind is to understand how far your clitoris is from your vaginal opening. If that gap is quite small, a low grind will be suitable for you. If it’s bigger, then a high grind will suit you better.

Personally, I can use and enjoy both but I find the high grinders more satisfying and less physical effort to use.

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.

Other Customisation Options

You can also choose the exact colour or colour mix for your grinder from a vast array of options, select the colour of your straps (I always choose the rainbow ones, anyone surprised?), and add a lube if you like. Every Vibe Pad comes with a Rocks Off RO-80 7-speed bullet vibrator.

The Dual Textures

There are currently three dual textures available in this range, and I received one of each to try out.

Bubbles & Suckers

This combines the Bubbles texture from the original range with the 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. I requested it in soft and in hindsight, I think I should probably have gone for firm. I enjoy it, but it’s sometimes not quite… enough?

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.

Bubbles and Bumps

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 firm 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 dual texture toys are a fantastic addition to the clit grinder range and offer yet another array of interesting, unusual, and incredibly pleasurable sensations to explore.

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.

Dual texture Grind Ring prices start from £34.99, dual texture Grind Pads from £44.99, and dual texture Vibe Pads from £54.99. Adding customisations and extras alters the final price you will pay.

I’ve been a huge fan of Godemiche’s Grind Rings ever since their creation. These deceptively simple yet utterly ingenious (and surprisingly versatile) sex toys were designed with clitoral stimulation during penetrative sex in mind, but can be used in a huge array of different ways. My current favourite is to lie face-down on my bed with the Grind Ring under me and move my hips to grind my vulva against it.

There are now two new variations in this line which Godemiche were kind enough to send me: the High Grind Ring and the Grind Pad. Let’s start with the former.

How is the High Grind Different?

The High Grind Ring is different from the original design in one important way: “A much larger mound designed to bring the texture even closer to your body while being designed to be comfortable on your genitals.” In other words, the hump in the centre is much larger and more pronounced.

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” and I’m hopeful that more textures will come in due course.

How Does It Feel?

When I first tried it, I noted that the Bubbles design was an amazing addition to hand sex because it’s super smooth, particularly when paired with plenty of lube.

If I’m entirely honest, Bubbles isn’t a Grind Ring texture I reach for all that often. It’s pleasurable, sure, but it’s a little too gentle and subtle for my picky clit, which tends to crave a little more intensity. With that said, the High Grind is an absolutely amazing development to the original Grind Ring design and addition to the range.

The more raised style of the High Grind Ring adds a little more of that intensity I was seeking. The silicone mound provides more to grind against and is firm enough to provide a kind of pressure that feels absolutely wonderful.

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.

Speaking of New Developments in the Godemiche Grind Range…

…Have you seen that there are now Grind Pads as well? The Grind Pad is a rectangular variation on the Grind Ring theme, without the hole. They come with adjustable straps (available in a range of colours including a delightfully queer rainbow version!) and 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 Grind Pad is currently available in the Bubbles, Spikes, and Waves designs. I’m hopeful that the whole range will be available soon! Also worth mentioning is that Grind Pads are made in the “High Grind” style. This means that their mounds are more raised than those on the original Grind Rings.

I also received the Grind Pad in the Bubbles texture. In terms of feel, it’s virtually identical to the High Grind Ring variation. I just love the extra possibilities afforded by the different shape and the straps.

Verdict

I’ll never get enough of these toys… or enough of yelling about how fucking brilliant I think they are! The High Grind is an incredible upgrade to the original Grind Ring design, and the Grind Pad is a great alternative when you want to use your grinding toys in ways that aren’t penetrative sex with a penis.

Very worthy additions to my collection that will get plenty of use. They already are.

High Grind Ring prices start from £40, and Grind Pad prices start from £49.99.

As a Quick Reminder, What is a Godemiche Grind Ring?

Godemiche describes their Grind Rings thus:

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.

– Godemiche

Each Godemiche Grind Ring is 6″ long and 4.3″ across at the widest point. The stretchy hole allows for a penis or dildo to fit through. The original intention was for them to be used to provide clitoral stimulation during penetrative sex. And they do work very well for that! However, they’re also really versatile and you can use them in a bunch of different ways. Why not try…

• Placing your Grind Ring on your desk chair and grinding on it while you read (or write) erotica
• Putting it underneath you on your bed and moving against it (a pillow, rolled up towel, or sex position wedge can help with the angle here)
• Using it to add texture to a wand vibrator (like Girl on the Net did here)
• Using it manually as a sexy addition to hand sex/masturbation

By far my favourite way to use them, since I know you’re wondering, is the “underneath me on the bed” method. I can have a nice lazy wank without needing to do much other than scroll smut and move my hips. Perfect. I also enjoy the desk chair method sometimes.

With the basics out of the way, let’s look at the new textures.

Pills

Godemiche describe the Pills Grind Ring like this:

The soft pills flick across the clitoris and can also slide down the labia lips for a fuller vulva sensation.

– Godemiche

I really like broad sensations all over my vulva. I think this is one of the reasons I love large wand vibrators so much. So I had high hopes for the Pills Grind Ring and I was not disappointed.

When I wrote about the Tall Pyramids texture, I said that if I just glide my pussy along it, I get a sort of soft tickling sensation. The Pills texture is a little like that, except that you can really grind into it and still get that sensation. If you enjoy a lighter touch, you’ll enjoy this one.

I often reach for the Pills Grind Ring at the start of a session because it’s a great warm-up texture. It’s so gentle that I can even use it when I’m not super wet yet. (I usually get very wet very quickly once I start using it, as you can imagine.) Though I might sometimes switch out for a more intense texture after a while, I can also often make myself cum with this one. It gives a slow-build orgasm, feeling like a tease almost right up to the point of release.

Tall Waves

Way back when I reviewed the initial four Grind Ring textures, I said that the Waves was my favourite. It’s still a toy I absolutely love and return to again and again. Would you believe that, with the Tall Waves texture, Godemiche have taken that concept and made it even better?

The Tall Waves provide a deep, intense sensation when I grind against the Ring. Because they’re placed closely together, it’s a continuous back-and-forth of little silicone tongues flicking against my clit. They’re soft enough to be comfortable, and yet firm enough to be satisfying.

Like its predecessor, the Tall Waves Grind Ring is probably the most reliable of the entire bunch when it comes to making me cum. It’s a great one to move onto if the Pills isn’t giving me quite enough intensity to get me over the edge.

Verdict: Still Fucking Amazing

I still love the absolute fuck out of these toys. They’re innovative (a comparative rarity in this industry), incredibly versatile, and – most importantly – they give me incredible orgasms every single time.

Still totally fucking brilliant.

Grind Rings start from £39.99, with the price increasing slightly for custom colours or 2-colour marbled designs. You can also add a V-plate for £29.99 if you’d like your Grind Ring to vibrate, or add a water-based lube and save 30% on the bundle.
