Buzz on Vibes

With the end of 2011 looming before me, I’ve been thinking about which products I’d like to feature in my Top 10 of 2011 list. The DeLight Click ‘n’ Charge was last year’s top pick, and while I distinctly remembering that I definitely wanted it to have the #1 spot, I honestly couldn’t recall why. That’s how long it’s been since I’ve played with the poor neglected vibe! Read more…

With Thanksgiving behind us and all the holiday activity ramping up, the season of giving is here. I haven’t hosted a giveaway in a while, so now seems like a good time. Plus, they’re fun.

Not too long ago I reviewed an innovative new sex toy called the FixSation.This handy little clit vibe is held in place by elastic straps on crotchless panties, so you can feel continuous clitoral stimulation during intercourse. You can check out all the details and watch the demo video on my review post. Then come back and enter to win one of your own. Read more…

Babeland.com sent me a PicoBong Kiki to review. For anyone not yet familiar with these new sex toys, PicoBong is a recently launched division of LELO. Only this product line is marketed to a younger crowd (not that us old folks can’t enjoy them too), with more budget-friendly pricing, simpler packaging, and fun designs in cool colors. I really like that LELO has developed this new product line, because not everyone can afford their luxury pleasure objects.

My most recent review product from EdenFantasys.com is the RO-160mm Bullet from Rocks-Off Ltd. I was actually really glad to get this assignment because I already have an RO-80mm and RO-120mm, so naturally I’d be curious to find out how this one compares. Read more…

Around this time last year I reviewed the Harmonia G-spot vibrator, and although I really liked it, I haven’t played with it much since I posted the review. When I did my sex toy cull not too long ago, I happened upon Harmonia, still in its original box, at the bottom of my secret storage container. This is most definitely nota vibe to throw out. So, I recycled the packaging and moved Harmonia (now safe in its storage pouch) to a more accessible location, resolving to use it again very soon and post a Follow-Up Friday.

Well, I haven’t posted a What’s Inside Wednesday for a while, so I guess Hannah Harper’s Butterfly is overdue. I got this toy pretty early on, just a few months after I started reviewing. Don’t bother going back and reading the review. It’s boring, and I ramble on about my love for rabbit-style vibes. But this one never was my favorite. I got a few orgasms using it, but I didn’t particularly like it.

I love Fun Factory. They’re my favorite sex toy manufacturer because I tend to have really good luck with their products, and while I consider them to be in the “luxury” category, most of their stuff is still affordable. Or at least well worth saving up for. Fun Factory also has a huge range of styles from the very realistic to a few product lines that are more playfully themed, like their Astrovibes collection. These are classic-style vibrators, each one designed to represent a different Sign of the Zodiac.

I used to have a Lelo Iris, which I enjoyed immensely. It was my first luxury sex toy, and I was sad when it quit working. But thanks to Lelo’s 10 year product guarantee I was able to return it and purchase a Siri for half price. I chose the Siri because it’s a vibe I’ve been pining for wanted to try for a long time, and I was really curious to know how it compared to my other favorite clit vibes, Fun Factory’s LayaSpot and Je Joue’s MiMi.

A couple of months ago I hosted a giveaway for a Twilite Wand Massager from Nasstoys. I love hosting giveaways in general, but that one was especially fun because the manufacturer also sent me a Twilite Wand to keep for myself. I love gifts!Made from ABS plastic, the Twilite Wand has a completely smooth, almost shiny surface (no velvet cote finish), and because the material is hard, the vibrations really travel through it.

EdenFantasys.com sent me a Snow Bunny to review. This is essentially a battery operated silver bullet vibrator from Cal Exotics that comes with a removable TPR sleeve that’s vaguely shaped like a rabbit. Read more…

A big THANK YOU to everyone for participating in this giveaway! The winner is… Read more…

This week’s Follow-Up Friday is the Grrl Toyz Silk Touch Egg Vibe, which happens to be one of the only sex toys I’ve truly hated. I wasn’t quite so down on it at first. I mean, the uber-buzzy vibrations were more irritating than stimulating, and the flimsy clicky button that skipped functions or just didn’t work were a challenge to look past, as was the lack of variation in intensity, although props for the idea of having a dial control for that. Too bad it didn’t work. BUT, I loved the design, shape, and velvety finish on the plastic, so I tried very hard to overlook its shortcomings. Read more…

I love that we’re seeing more and more rechargeable sex toys. I’m also excited that companies are designing better, more user-friendly products, like cordless bullets. Miuzu’s Buzzlet vibe is a win on both fronts. It’s a discreet, waterproof, rechargeable, and cordless bullet that Babeland.comsent me to review. Read more…

Je Joue is a luxury sex toy company. Their G-Ki has always intrigued me as it’s the only G-spot vibe I’ve seen that’s actually adjustable. In two places. That has to be worth trying, right? I mean, a common reason certain products don’t work for certain people is because the shape and/or size doesn’t fit well with their anatomy. While the size is what it is, the ability to change the shape and curve of a toy seems like the ideal solution. Read more…

My Pocket Rocket Jr has been with me a few years now. It was the second sex toy I bought, after listening to Carlin Ross talk about using her Pocket Rocket way back when she was podcasting with Susan Crain Bakos. At the time I wanted a small and quiet vibrator that didn’t tether me to an electrical outlet (everything my beloved Hitachi was not, basically) and the Pocket Rocket Jr was very affordably priced at under $10.
