“Add a little playful fun to your solo sessions with The Screaming Os bullet buddies! These adorable shapes conceal a sexy secret: a powerful (and color coordinated!) bullet vibrator hides under a silicone sleeve, shaped to look like a friendly woodland animal.

The sex toy industry is blooming with fancy new vibrators and gadgets of all makes and models.  If you can stimulate it, there is some sort of buzzing contraption that will buzz it.  Some are works of art, some look like spaceships and some still look like a good old fashioned cock.

This is a good thing.  I embrace vibrator technology and all of the care that goes into material safety these days.   I love love love my whimsical FunFactory vibes and hold a special place for my subtly powered Mia. With all of this being said, there are still some classics that have been, and always will be, giving women top notch earth shattering orgasms.

To name a few…

The Head Mistress of all vibrators is the Hitachi Magic Wand.  First created as a massager for your everyday aches and pains, it was made popular in the early 1970′s by sexologist and orgasm expert, Betty Dodson.  She first mentioned the Hitachi in her book Sex For One: The Joy Of Self Loving.

You can purchase and read more about this high powered electric wonder by clicking on the link above.

Another tried and true vibe is the famous Pocket Rocket.  With all of that power it packs, it really couldn’t be called anything other than a rocket.  While some find it overwhelming, many women can’t get off with any other toy.  Hard plastic and ready handle your clitoris, the Pocket Rocket is here to stay.

Last, but not least is the Silver Bullet.  It’s cheap, it’s simple, it comes in a bag.  It’s as basic as they cum come, folks.  Don’t get me wrong, I’ve had an orgasm or two from your everyday bullet vibe.  It’s perfect for beginners and a nonthreatening staple in your toy collection.  Oh yea, it’s cheap.  Here it is, in all of it’s glory:

Whether you are a vibrator purist or you just need something simple, you can count on these classic vibrators to get you off every time!

Slinky Pinky by Rocks Off is a sweet and discreet little vibrator .

This little vibe is without bells and whistles; it is quite simply the RO-80 Chrome Bullet with a pink silicone sleeve.  The bullet is a 1 speed super sleek wonder.  It isn’t quite as powerful as a pocket rocket, but it certainly hold it’s own when it comes to buzz.  It has a pointed tip and an easy to control push button.  Needless to say, the bullet is awesome all on it’s own and most definitely adds to anyone’s toy collection.  Sometimes you just need a little something to vibrate during low maintenance solo sessions, or when you’re using a dildo and your clit needs some love too.

The silicone sleeve has a satisfying soft texture.  It fits snug over the R0-80 bullet, leaving the push button and the battery cap  exposed.  The sleeve mimics the bullet shape and comes to a rounded tip that extends about 1 1/2 inches beyond the bullet’s end.  The vibrations travel nicely through the silicone, especially along the shaft.  Some power is lost as you reach the tip of the sleeve.  It isn’t dead, but may be disappointing for those who prefer powerful pinpointed stimulation.  It didn’t bother me since I prefer all over clitoral and labia stimulation, made easy by using the full length of the vibrator.

As far as my orgasm was concerned, well, the big finish occurred without the sleeve.  The silicone felt great, especially with a little lube applied. BUT the extra buzz provided by using the bullet alone was what I needed to get off.

I would recommend the Slinky Pinky for someone who likes small toys with the option to change it up a little bit.  However, i would recommend the RO-80 Chrome Bullet to everyone.  A bullet vibe is an essential and this is the one to have!

Other Info:

Battery is included, which is always nice.

Sometimes a bullet is all it takes to get you right where you need to be.  I love g-spot toys, rabbit vibes and silicone dildos, but sometimes it’s nice to keep it simple.  They are easy to conceal, travel well and are great for getting off.  Whether you are a newbie or sex toy expert, everyone should have one in their collection.  Everyone.

Let’s not forget that keeping it simple doesn’t have to be boring.  These bullets have their own something special, while staying true their bullet birthrights.

So a couple of weeks ago I talked a little about why I think ladies everywhere should masturbate.  I was inspired by few friends who let me in on the fact that they had never done the deed.  Now they know why they should masturbate and so do you.  Here a few tips on how to get started.

Nervous?  Feeling Awkward? 

Understandable, but totally unnecessary.  Remind yourself that you are performing for no one.  You get to play in your very own playground with no one waiting for their turn on the spiral slide.  Relax a bit.  Romance yourself.  As I have said before: do what turns YOU on, not just what you read about in a magazine while standing in line at a grocery store.  Whether it is candles and wine or punk rock and porn, make it happen.  One thing that is more important than you probably realize, make sure your house or apartment is at the perfect temperature for you. 

For any sexual endeavor, solo or shared, it is always a good idea to have plenty of lube on hand.  This isn’t the time for a lube lecture, but here are the basics:

Water Based – Safe to use with any toys.  It does need to be reapplied more frequently than silicone based. 

Silicone Based – Not safe to use with silicone toys.  Best to use during toy free play.  Great for use in the water.

For both lube types ALWAYS choose lubricants that are free of glycerin, parabens and sugar.  These ingredients may cause infections.

Where do you start?  Here are a few ideas:

Fantasize: Once your physical surroundings are to your liking, use your solo time to explore your fantasies.  You can draw on past experience or allow your mind to go where it has never gone before.  Nothing is there to hold you back from enjoying a romantic romp on a bed of rose petals or from becoming the dominatrix you always wanted to be.  Fantasy encourages sexual growth.  Stimulate your mind, not just your naughty bits.  The two are related.

Porn: If you prefer visual stimulation, there is nothing wrong with watching some adult entertainment.    Make yourself nice and comfy on the couch or in your bed.  Keep the lube and the remote close at hand.  If you find it isn’t really what gets you all hot and bothered you can always turn it off, although you’ll probably put your favorite scene on repeat.

Manual stimulation.  Get to know your clitoris, but don’t suffocate your clitoris.  Start with your inner thighs and move on to your labia majora and labia minora.  While you should have already applied a bit of lube, stimulating these areas will encourage your body to produce natural lubrication.  This will make direct stimulation of your clitoris far more enjoyable than without.  Direct stimulation of the clitoris before lubrication is present will most likely be annoying and for some even painful.  Eventually make your way to the little love button and enjoy the ride.  Experiment with different levels of pressure, movement and directions.  Don’t feel the need to simulate intercourse and don’t forget to include your nipples in on the fun!

Vibrator: While it is a good idea to get to know yourself with your hands, many women find they enjoy vibrator use in addition to or more so than manual stimulation.  Eggs and bullets are a great way to dip your toes into the Olympic pool sized world of solo play and toys!  There are no chickens or guns involved so don’t worry.  Egg and bullet vibrators are easy to operate, satisfying, affordable and nonthreatening.  The award winning RO-80MM Bullet by Rocks Off is a quality product that is perfect for beginners, but loved by veteran mistresses of masturbatory acts.  Also, Toygasms is a great guide for sex toy newbies!

Bathtub: This is a fabulous place for girlies to masturbate whether it’s their very first time or they have been doing it for years.  The warm bath is relaxing and you have built in sex toys at your disposal.  Now of course I am an advocate of using a wide array of products that can be purchased through my place of employment.  However, flowing streams of water have been known to get the job done. 

Faucet:  The steady flow of rushing water can be incredibly stimulating.  This mini waterfall may send you plunging into an orgasmic river, but there are a couple of downsides.  You may end up in an uncomfortable position and the water level may end up too low (if you allow the water to drain) or too high (if you don’t allow the water to drain) which may lead to either freezing temperatures or drowning.  Don’t be discouraged; you should still give this a whirl.  You just might find the perfect balance!

Detachable Shower Head: Sure these things make getting clean a little easier, but we all know what they are really for.  Yep.  Even the low end types offer a variety of shower pressure and pulsation patterns so you can use as much or as little pressure as your heart desires.  Plus, no one has to know what’s really going on; just sneak away and take a long hot shower to ease your sore muscles.  A little hint: purchase one with a long hose so you can use it while soaking in the bath, and not just standing up. 

Also, bring a waterproof vibe with you!  The RO-80MM is waterproof, but there are tons other vibes that are fun for self lovin’ in the water.  Make sure the vibe is 100% waterproof before you submerge it in the water.  *Splashproof works in the shower, but not under water!* 

Ladies, these are but a few suggestions on how to get started when getting off on your own.  Use these ideas as a home base and find your own methods and means of masturbation.  Don’t pressure yourself to reach orgasm the way someone else told you to.  Find your rhythm and simply enjoy.

Fly microVIBE by Fun Factory

Good, Affordable, Groovy. That is how Fun Factory describes the Fly from their new line of microVibes.  They will be available in the coming months and you are going to want one.

Hot off the press: “Fly is the vibrator for young, bold women with a small budget; for couples who dare to introduce a thrilling little toy into their love life without breaking the bank.”

This little bullet shaped hunk of joy is made of 100% body friendly silicone for worry free FUN time. It stands at a small and mighty 4.9 inches with three speeds to choose from.  It is totally waterproof so you can get your groove on wet or dry.  However, dry isn’t necessarily a term associated with Fun Factory toys. 

The Fly is a great beginner vibe, but anyone can benefit from a quality bullet vibrator.  Sometimes a little buzz is all you need to Fly you to the moon.  (I just couldn’t resist that.)  I know from experience that Fun Factory vibrators give just the right amount of stimulation.  They start off low and mild and work you up to an orgasmic zoom!  The silicone delivers the vibration perfectly. You won’t be wondering when you actually get to feel something, nor will you wonder why someone used a jackhammer motor to power your sex toy.

Available in Turquoise and Blackberry

Made from materials that will last and last, this vibrator will be a staple in your toy chest. I can’t give away too many details just yet, but I will say the Fly will be available for an absolutely fabulous price point!  No one will have an excuse to not own a Fun Factory toy.  I can’t wait to get this one in my greedy mittens!

I am excited about the new microVIBE and all of the Fun Factory products I have yet to play with.  There are many obvious reasons, but in reading through our Experts interview I was taken by Memo’s statement about their philosophy.

“We believe that Fun Factory products are proof that erotic toys can be tasteful, cheerful and high value at the same time.  By means of aesthetic shapes and fun loving designs, we would like to help reduce inhibition thresholds and prejudices in order to facilitate acceptance and access of erotic toys for women and men.”

Now doesn’t that sound like someone you would like to buy a sex toy from?  Everyone should be able to embrace sex as a fun, healthy enterprise.  I love that Fun Factory products embody their philosophy! 

Now go over to the Sextoy . com blog and read more about what makes Fun Factory so awesome!

The Tongue Vibe by Empire Labs is one if our Featured products for Couples, one of our best sellers AND it received a five star review from a very happy customer!

I am not terribly surprised. They took two of the greatest things in the universe and put them together: oral sex and vibration. It can be worn by anyone who likes to orally please their lovers and give orgasms. I know I love both.

The two little vibrators come in a convenient compact case. They give you four extra batteries for those just in case scenarios. Put it in your pocket or purse and you are ready to please any time or anywhere.

“Latex free and hypo allergenic, the tongue vibe provides oral sex with a vibrating addition for ecstasy. Slips over the tongue comfortably and can be directed to the perfect spot by the user.

The tongue vibe is quiet and powerful.”

By the way, you can wear both vibes at the same time and really send them to the moon!

I love dildos, dongs, stap ons, whips, blindfolds and all of the super kinky toys you can find.  However, sometimes you just need a basic vibe to get to where you need to be.  And sometimes you need to be on your own comfy little orgasm cloud.  Low maintenance. 

Perhaps The Classix Mini Vibe has what it takes to help you reach the zenith, so to speak.  It is one of our Featured Products for Women.

“This sleek mini vibrator packs plenty of power and is the perfect size to take with you on-the-go. Enjoy smooth, soothing vibrations anytime, anyplace. It easily fits into your purse or briefcase for your own secret rendezvous.”

This smooth bullet-esque vibrator is great for clitoral stimulation.  You can easily hide it and you don’t have to share it with anyone else.  Next time you need some alone time with a bit of buzz, grab this little toy and get on your cloud.
