Buzz on Vibes

Several months ago I found myself wandering around in our local adult book store. I was on a fact-finding mission, more or less checking out which (if any) quality sex toys and vibes they stocked. I was pleasantly surprised to find a handful of LELO and Njoy products, which they didn’t have the previous time I was in there. Still no Fun Factory or Tantus, and they sure do love Cal Exotics and Doc Johnson, but at least they appear to be making an effort to offer nicer stuff. I was disappointed in their lubes, though. They had quite a lot of flavored lubes (blech), but nearly all of their water-based lubes contained glycerin. Read more…

As I’ve often mentioned, my skin gets really dry, especially this time of year. I’m always up for trying new moisturizers and lotions because I never know if something might work better for me than what I’m currently using or have previously used. I do have rather sensitive skin though, so I try to avoid anything containing parabens and stick with all-natural products whenever possible. I seriously love the Intimate Organics Body Souffle, but I go through that stuff fairly quickly, and it’s been out of stock for ages.

I quite like lingerie. It’s not something I don all that frequently, so for me it’s an easy way to add a little variety, and wearing something sexy makes me feel sexy. Since I’m not that great at knowing if an outfit will look good on me until I actually wear it, I’m pretty much up for trying anything. If I can get new lingerie pieces for free, then that’s even better, as they’re usually items I enjoy reviewing. Read more…

Babeland sent me The Ultimate Guide to Orgasm for Women by Mikaya Heart to review an embarrassingly long time ago. Really, I should have had this review posted way before now, but the book took me ages to finish–not because it’s boring or unpleasant to read, as it’s actually quite insightful and well written. It’s just that I thought I’d get it read over the holidays, since that’s when I tend to do a lot of reading. Unfortunately, I neglected to consider that I usually read on my Kindle, and this isn’t the sort of book cover I can flash open just any time I feel like perusing a few chapters. Read more…

I remember the first time I saw an Evolved Dream Maker rabbit vibe. It was many month ago at the local porn store, where they had a big display stand full of Evolved products. I wasn’t looking for anything in particular at the time, but I’d already tried a couple of Evolved toys and really liked them. The sales associate pointed out a pink Dream Maker Lunar Rabbit to me, raving on about how it had like 600+ functions. Since said sales associate was a guy, I doubt he had any first hand experience using it, but maybe he just assumed a lone woman roaming around the sex toys section of an adult book store would want a pink rabbit.

The Denma Lady was a wand-style massager that had several things going for it. Smaller than most wands, it was discreetly sized as well as waterproof and battery operated (so no cord). The flat battery compartment cap allowed it to stand up on its own (I have a thing for sex toys that can do this), and the buttons were easy to find and operate. Read more…

Included in the goody box of products I received from Evolved Novelties was a bottle of Zero Tolerance Oral Sex Candy Spray, which is something I never even knew existed, much less tried. I’m sure I’ve mentioned this before, but one of the things I love about reviewing sex toys is getting to sample new and different products. As far as manufacturers go, I think very highly of Evolved. They’re responsible for my beloved Croupier, as well as the Silky G and Bliss vibrators that I like so much. Plus, their products are made from body-safe materials, well-packaged, and affordable. Read more…

Remember last Friday when I mentioned that I received some new sex toys from Evolved Novelties to review? Well, included in that box was a Silky G vibe, which is part of their Fleur De Lis collection and is similar to the Bliss I’ve previously reviewed. Both vibes are around the same size, have 3 speed of constant vibration, and feature that velvety surface I love so much on hard plastic toys. Only instead of the 4 rounded, wave-like ripples at the top of Bliss, Silky G just has two bulges and a tapered, curved tip. Read more…

Not too long ago I received a generous care package from Evolved Novelties, and the reviews for those products will be posted soon. But while testing them out, I got to thinking about the other Evolved vibrators I’ve reviewed and realized that I hadn’t used those in a long time. Curious to know if I’d still like them as much, I soon found myself distracted by my Croupier, which became an instant favorite the first time I used it, way back in June of 2010. Read more…

Body jewelry can be very alluring and make you feel sexy, but the piercing involved with being able to wear it isn’t something I’m up for. I’m not a fan of needles, and I’m also a complete wimp when it comes to any type of pain. Thankfully, there’s a non-piercing solution, and I was lucky enough to receive two sets of nipple jewelry to review from NippleCharms.com.

It’s a new year, and I’ve been doing some rearranging and organizing. This means I have a whole new batch of sex toys that I either no longer use, want, or like (assuming I liked them to begin with), so it’s time for another vibe cull. This is a good thing: it frees up much-needed storage space and provides me with What’s Inside Wednesday material. First up is Pipedream’s Black Diamond rabbit-style vibe. Read more…

I have dry skin, and it can get pretty parched during the winter months. My face is particularly challenging because my skin is also sensitive, making me prone to breakouts. I try to stick with all-natural moisturizers and body care products whenever possible, and I was absolutely ecstatic when I saw Sensuous Beauty products on EdenFantasys.com. Read more…

In case you haven’t already heard, there’s a new line of luxury vibrators available called Leaf. These sex toys are eco-friendly, made from a gorgeous green silicone, and beautifully designed. They’re also equipped with PowerBullets, which are the same motors in the strong and rumbly Jopen Vanity vibrators.

I don’t usually review sex toys for men. Because I’m female, I lack the required anatomy, and it’s tricky to talk about a product when I have no firsthand experience using it. However, there is a totally unique new sexual enhancement product on the market now, and this one is for the guys. It’s not a masturbation toy, cock ring, or like anything else I’ve seen before.
