Vibrator Review: Mia

Tuesday, August 10th, 2010

Wherever I go, Mia will go.

Discreet Vibrator

The Lelo Mia is a great little vibrator.  It can totally pass as a tube of lipstick just sitting in your purse, make up case or anywhere, making it perfect for travel.

Here are the specs and technical details:

Size: About 4 1/2 inches long and a little less than 1 inch wide.

Materials: Silicone and ABS plastic

Power: Rechargeable using your computer’s USB port.  Remove the cap of the vibe to reveal a USB extension and plug in directly, or use the provided USB extension cord.  As to not turn Mia on accidentally, she can be locked by pressing her power buttons simultaneously until the light fades completely.

Charge Time: It takes about 1 1/2 hours to charge her for the first time.  A full charge lasts 1 1/2 hours.  A steady LED light indicates she is charged up and ready for use.

Modes: Lelo states that Mia has 4 modes of vibration, but each mode has multiple levels.  There are plenty of intensity levels to choose from.

Sotrage: As with all Lelo products, this vibrator comes with a storage box and a satin pouch.  I like how I can store the extension cord in the bottom of the box.

Discreet vibe by LeloMia is the ultimate in travel vibrators.  She is super discreet and her vibrations are oh so quiet.  On the highest setting you can hear but a dull roar.  Mia is made from phthalates free body friendly materials making her easy to clean and making my naughty bits happy.  Being that she is rechargeable, she is eco-friendly and hassle free (no need for pesky batteries).

Adding a touch of lube to this vibrator’s glossy finish makes her feel just divine everywhere you want her to.  Mia had enough buzz to satisfy my taste, but those who need intensity from the likes of the pocket rocket would probably be left unsatisfied.  That isn’t to say this little vibrator is weak, it just isn’t packing jet engines.

What I didn’t love about the Mia was that depending on how I held her the cap would become loose or come off.  I got off (pun intended) without pinching my pink parts, but I could see how it could occur.  If the cap snapped on, this wouldn’t be an issue.

I am a fan of the Mia.  She won’t be my number 1 go to vibe at home, but she is definitely my pick for on-the-go-O’s.  I recommend her to anyone who likes discreet toys with mid to nearly-high vibration intensities.

Review: Lovemoiselle Aveline

Wednesday, August 4th, 2010

I am in love with Aveline.

Lovemoiselle’s Aveline is a g-spot dildo made from glazed ceramic. It is about 8 1/2 inches long and 1 1/4 inches wide. It has the most delicate of blue flowers painted on it; it is elegant, feminine and exudes understated beauty. I know, I’m talking about a dildo and not a set of pearls, but it really is quite lovely.
Lovemoiselle Aveline

Isn’t ceramic fragile? It is, but Lovemoiselle uses a special glaze that makes their ceramic dildos extremely durable. Chipping could occur, so I wouldn’t go around tossing one at a brick wall. It is nonporous, phthalates free and hypoallergenic.

Aveline’s texture is silky smooth, and dare I say I like it more than I like the texture of glass. I would say glass has a sleek-smooth texture, while ceramic has a matte-smooth texture. Profound, I know. It heats to your body temperature in nearly an instant whether you are holding it in your hand or it is in use. It also has a rubber stopper at the end so you can fill it with warm or cold water. It warms so quickly and intensely to your body, I don’t see the need to fill it with warm water.

Aveline’s girlish figure gives way to gentle curves for easy handling and pleasure. Both the shape and material make for incredible g-spot stimulation. I’m not getting paid to say that. Honestly, I was excited to get this toy in my hands, but I assumed it would be “pretty good” and look really nice on my dresser. I was way off the mark. This dildo has definitely moved into a top slot on my list of favorite toys. It is hard, which g-spots tend to love and respond to. The curve is just right and makes finding your g-spot absolutely effortless. The rounded tip massages the g-spot with a targeted yet full sensation, not the tip-of-the-arrow sensation.

As far as lube is concerned, I really didn’t need much at all. Just the tiniest drop made the texture even more buttery and velvety… in the best possible way. Lovemoiselle states that it is safe to use with all lubricants, but recommends using water based.

Lovemoiselle suggests rinsing and drying with a clean cloth. Adding a little mild soap wouldn’t hurt. Never use abrasive cleaners or scrubbers. Aveline comes with a soft draw string storage pouch for safe keeping.

Needless to say I give the Lovemoiselle Aveline an A+. I recommend this dildo to those who like mid-sized g-spot toys and anyone who enjoys orgasms.

Product Review: Nubby Fat Head Glass Dildo

Monday, January 18th, 2010

I don’t have much to compare when it comes to glass sex toys.  I am rather inexperienced in this corner.  I can admit it, but that doesn’t mean that I don’t know what I like.  Guess what, I like the Don Wands Nubby Fat Head glass dildo.  Emphasis on Fat Head.

Fat Head Glass DildoIts blue/ green ocean-esque appearance makes it lovely to look at.  It stands proud and beautiful on its flared base, waiting to please.  Looks are of little importance when it’s time for business, but I am a sucker for a pretty toy.  That wasn’t the only reason I chose Fat Head.  Knowing that glass is hard and in no way pliable, I thought I was safe with 7 inches in length and a shaft with a 1 inch diameter.  I didn’t want to leave myself wanting more, so I knew the 1 ½ inch wide head would take care of my need for a little fulfillment.  I was right.

Fat Head is in no way made for size queens.  It is just right for those who like small to medium sized dildos with added plumpness.  The head, my favorite part, tapers to a dull point.  The nubs on this dildo add to the visual appeal, but I can’t honestly say they affected my experience one way or the other.  The flared base made handling easy, especially when lubricant was thrown into the mix.  The flared base would also make the Fat Head suitable for anal play.  This glass dildo is simple in shape, but the slender shaft and bulbous tip make it an ooooh so pleasing product. 

Don Wands Nubby Fat Head comes with a storage pouch that could double as a comfy pillow for a really tiny person.  It is soft, cushiony and I like knowing it will keep my precious glass sex toy safe.

This dildo is definitely one that will live on my stand for quite a while.  I can’t wait to acquire some of Fat Head’s friends and further investigate all of the gloriousness that is glass.  Well all may be pushing it, but it doesn’t hurt to try.  We all have to have goals, right?   

Glass is great: It is ideal for temperature play and warms to your body temperature quickly.  You can use any lubricant that is desired.  Since it is nonporous, it won’t absorb your lube so a little goes a long way.  Glass is also phthalates free, hypoallergenic and ridiculously easy to clean – soap and water or in the dishwasher.

Product Review: Ella

Monday, January 4th, 2010

From packaging to pleasure, the Ella was exactly what I expected from Lelo and beyond. 

The Ella, g-spot dildo, comes in an elegant black box and a little pouch for travel.  Presentation isn’t everything, but it certainly adds to the experience when using “erotic playthings”.  I felt like I was pampering myself; that same ahhh I’m about to get a manicure or massage feeling.   Don’t get me wrong, I would take the Ella over trimmed cuticles and painted nails any day.

Ella G Spot DildoMade from 100% silicone, Ella is phthalates free and body friendly in every sense of the word.  It is soft to the touch and when a bit of water based lube is added it feels divinely silky, plush and velvety all at the same time.  Even without the presence of vibration, it is perfect for a bit of external clitoral warm up before heading to the depths of g-spot joy.

I found this toy to be just the right size.  Since the g-spot is located less than a few inches inside of the vagina there is no need for a long cumbersome dildo.  With this being said, a little length is necessary for easy handling.  At 7 inches, my size requirements were met.  The oval head makes finding the g-spot a no brainer.  No searching, shifting or awkward hand gestures required.  Simply insert and enjoy.  Easy to operate and easy to reach orgasm, this decadent toy is among my favorites.

The Ella is a 2 in one toy in that the opposite end can be used as a traditional dildo.  I tested it out for the sake of the review.  Of course it works just fine as a means of traditional stimulation.  With that glorious g-spot end, I can’t imagine I’ll be using the traditional end for much more than a handle.  I have to add: the angled edge on the traditional end/handle lets you know which way is up.  Therefore you know where the surface of the g-spot head is.  During a frenzy of toe twitching and multiple orgasms things can get a bit slippery and knowing which way is up without having to look is useful!

I absolutely love the Ella.  The little black box is still on my night stand and I can’t imagine I’ll be putting in the treasure chest of sex toys any time soon.  If you are a gal who loves g-spot play and simple yet sophisticated toys, you need to add this toy to your collection.

Review: Lycra Inductrial Net Backseam Pantyhose

Wednesday, July 8th, 2009

I love the Lycra Industrial Net Backseam Pantyhose by Leg Avenue!

I have been wearing these pantyhose for the last few years, both while performing and when just dressing sexy.  They give a slimming affect to the legs, while still hugging and showing off those beautiful curves and muscles.  The seam, which runs from toe to waist, makes even the shortest pair of stems appear to go on for days.  I would know, I am only 5 feet tall!

industrialnet2There are a wide variety of fishnet stockings and pantyhose on the market; from the traditional with small holes, to fence net with larger holes and beyond.  They all have their places and outfits, however the industrial net remains my favorite.  There is a certain amount of sex appeal coupled with clean cut sophistication.  What do I mean? Well, I have worn these pantyhose while performing a fairytale burlesque diddy.  I, Queen Grimhilde, cast a spell on Snow White which of course leads to an intense striptease duet.  I have also worn them when dressed in a far-less-than-revealing suite and pencil skirt. 

As far as pantyhose are concerned, Leg Avenue’s Industrial Nets are pretty comfortable.  You still get those irritating indentions that are generally caused by fishnets – or “waffle crotch” as we like to call it.  Since the holes are a little wider, it isn’t as uncomfortable.  The elastic waist band does feel a bit tight, but that is to be expected.  Since they are one size fits most, of course the waist reaches my under arms. 

I have a solution.  It is a trick that most of the burly-q babes use:

1. Slip into your Industrial Net Pantyhose.  Put a thong on over them.  The less material the better.  Be sure your seams are straight!

2. Safety pin the hosiery to your thong in a few places around your waist; front, sides, back. Etc.

3. Cut the elastic band off, along with any excess above your belly button.  Don’t cut too close to the thong’s waist band or your pantyhose will droop.  You can always cut off more later if you have too much excess.  You may want to ask a friend to help if you are having mixed feelings about using scissors behind your back.

4. Now you have a few options:

- If you are handy with a sewing needle and have a lot of patience, you can stitch the Industrial Nets to the waist band of your thong.
- You can leave the safety pins if you are in a pinch or don’t plan on revealing your undergarments.
- Or, a little trick that Vegas show girls use: sew bra hooks to your thong and loop your industrial nets over them.

No annoying waist band, no unwanted creases in the middle of your tummy, or below your arm pits.  Another tip:  If you want an extra clean look, you can wear your Industrial Nets over a pair or flesh colored stockings.

The one unavoidable downfall: holes.  Yes, bigger holes than the ones that already exist.  Use caution when near protruding objects.  You never know where random nails are hiding.  Also, you can easily catch your stockings on any jewelry you may be wearing.  Anything with prongs can be dangerous.  I have been hooked to a fellow performer’s garter belt!  Another gal once had to perform an entire number with a necklace dangling from her leg.  Wear your pantyhose with care. 

Like the product says, these Lycra Industrial Net Pantyhose will make any costume – or outfit special.

Sensation Erotic Massage Oil

Tuesday, June 16th, 2009

Sarah at the Sextoys . com blog just reviewed Sensation Erotic Massage Oil.  She loved it and you should head over and find out why!

Here is but a peek at what she had to say:

Let me just tell you that it is fantastic.  After a good rub down, I was pleased to discover that it had left my girl’s skin feeling really soft and smelling fantastic.

A Wish Fulfilled: Fantasy Swing

Thursday, June 4th, 2009

I finally got the Fantasy Swing!

The swing has been on my Wish List since the dawn of time.  Well, since I first learned about its existence anyway.  Needless to say, I was excited upon its arrival.fswing1The Fantasy Swing comes fully assembled with instillation hardware.  My boyfriend/ Sex Toy Testing Assistant attached the heavy duty steel bolt to our living room ceiling and hooked the swing to it with the karabiner styled hook.  For brevity, I shall call him my Assistant.  He sat in it and bounced around for a while to test its strength.  My Assistant is 6’5″ and weighs about 300 pounds.  It promises to hold up to 350 pounds.  While we couldn’t test to see if the swing holds said maximum weight limit, I felt confident that I could be the swing sitter without it falling out of the ceiling.  What a mood killer that would be!

Just so you can imagine what I am talking about:  It has extra wide padded nylon straps; 2 for your hands, 2 for your feet, 1 for your butt and 1 for your back.  They are all fully adjustable. 

The swing hung in the middle of our living room for a day or two before we performed acts of hanky panky in it.  Friends came over and amused themselves for hours.  One of my best girl friends found that she got a good lower back stretch by hanging on to the hand straps while her feet were “resting” on the corresponding straps.  Her butt hung close to the ground.  They were all proud to say that they helped me test the swing.

As for the swingin’ sex, it was fantastic!  My favorite position was perhaps the simplest position.  I sat on the butt support strap and leaned against the back strap.  My feet were in front of me in their appropriate straps and I held on to the main support.  Are you following me?  My assistant stood in front of me.  He bounced me up and down during our romp session.  It was a whole new sensation for both of us.  He certainly was able to stimulate my g-spot in a completely different way than I am used to.  You can use the Fantasy Swing with or without the torsion spring.  After feeling what the bouncing motion could do for my beloved g-spot, the spring was a keeper!

So the swing is fun for both innocent and naughty play time.  What if I want to take it down when guests come over?  The karabiner styled hook makes it easy to detach the swing.  You will have a hook in your ceiling.  It is a little sacrifice for a lot of fun.  What about switching to different positions?  I found this to be a little difficult, but with practice I would get easier.  Are the straps comfortable?  On a scale of 1-10 I would give them an 8.  The nylon rubs your skin the tiniest bit.

Overall, I loved the Fantasy Swing and can’t wait to experiment with it further!

A Wish Fulfilled: Tantus O2 Revolution Candy

Friday, May 29th, 2009

The Tantus O2 Revolution Candy claims to feel real.  It does feel real, real big.

This dong was my first Tantus Silicone toy.  I was simmering with excitement as I waited for it to arrive.  I knew it was of size, but I didn’t realize what exactly I was in for.

revolutionreview21

As soon as I lay eyes on my pretty pink new toy it my jaw dropped.  “How am I going to fit this…” just kept running through my mind.  I was eager and nervous all at the same time.  I thought to myself, well if I can’t use it I can always set it up as an art instillation.  With some nice lighting and a small electric turn table it would look great in my living room.  Perhaps some electronic music would be a nice touch.  The toy is beautiful.

It felt great in my hands.  I could tell that all of the wonderful things I heard about Tantus products were true.  The O2 Revolution felt solid and well constructed.  The excitement surpassed the nervousness and it was time to give it a go.

I got the water based lube out and attempted to use it.  I knew better, but I tried to use it without much of a warm up.  One would think that this would be painful.  It wasn’t.  It simply didn’t go anywhere.   My man/ Sex Toy Testing Assistant was lying there next to me.  While he was impressed by my eagerness, he looked at me like, “did you really think that was going to work”?  So, I used my Jumbo Bullet to get the party started.  It only seemed appropriate to use the big bullet for the big dong.  With a little self lovin’ and a lot more lube I was able to slowly use the O2 Revolution.

It felt just like the real thing!  Because of its thickness I could feel the details of the head shape and veined texture. The flared base made for easy control of the toy.  I couldn’t thrust the dong too much, but vigorous movement wasn’t necessary.  The full sensation with very little motion was quite satisfying.  This was true even without the vibrating bullet.  For a girl who can usually only handle medium sized toys, this was quite a feat.  I was beaming with pride.  However, I was glowing with the joy over the level of pleasure!

Once I brought the bullet back into play I was on a one way trip to orgasm land.  Once all was said and done, I was in a euphoric state of contentment.  I also had to give myself a little pat on the back for handling the O2 Revolution.

Clean up was easy.  It is made from 100% silicone so I boiled that baby and went on with my day.

The O2 Revolution won’t get used on a regular basis, but it will make an appearance when fullness is desired.  So much for the art instillation.
