Pretty cool looking, eh?
I have to say, I’m a big fan of glass toys. I like the rigidness of them, the colors, the weight of them in my hand (and well, vagina), the way it feels when my muscles contract around all the different finishes and textures- the ridges, the bumps, the swirls. And the Cyberglass Felicity has all that and then some.
It’s gently curved tip is great for g-spot stimulation – just a little back and forth or twisting motion and you’re set. The swirls along the shaft make for some awesome sensations along the walls of your vagina and that little, round, “knobbly” bit toward the bottom of that picture up there? Great for the your labia. Or, you know, your insides if you turn it around and try it the other way – really, there just isn’t a wrong way to use this toy.
If you’re interested in trying out a glass toy, but don’t have a lot of money to spend on your experimenting, the Cyberglass Felicity is a great and relatively cheap place to start.

As soon as I saw it, I thought the Slimline G Twinand I would were meant to be. Upon first glancet reminded me of my beloved Orchid G except, wait! What’s that? The added bonus of clitoral stimulation?
Well, gee – I was smitten.
In theory, this toy is perfect. However, i found the insetable portion to be a little too long when taking into consideration the placement of the extra clit-stimulating “egg”. When I inserted the shaft as far as I could comfortably enjoy it, the outside egg didn’t quite reach my clit. I don’t consider myself to have THAT shallow of a vagina, so I was a little perplexed.
When I rocked the toy back and forth a bit, I was able to get some mild stimulation on my clit, but doing so took the direct vibrations away from my g-spot. The vibrations in the egg aren’t as stong as I had hoped, either.
If you’ve got a deeper vagina, this toy would be great for you. It is solid in your hands (and vagina), silky smooth and easy to clean. I also happen to think it’s awesome-looking and still love the basic concept of it. Plus, if it works for your anatomy, it’s a steal for the price!

The We-Vibe is pretty much everything i wanted the Rock Chick to be, but wasn’t. The Rock Chick was sent to me as a present and while I was extremely appreciative of the gesture, the toy just never did it for me. It was too big, too rigid and well, painful. It also didn’t have nearly strong enough vibrations to get me off and I found myself more than a little frustrated that I couldn’t make this oh-so-popular toy work for me.
Enter the We-Vibe.
The We-Vibe (made of 100% medical grade silicone and rechargeable – two of my favorite qualities in my sex toys) is much smaller (the insertable portion is less than an inch thick and just over an inch wide) and for me, this is a very good thing. It is also extremely bendy and flexible, providing for easy insertion and comfortable play. It nestles perfectly up against my g-spot and a gentle rocking motion produced awesome stimulation.
There are two vibration speeds – the lower one is great for a little warm-up and the higher one is plenty for my sensitive clit. Both speeds of vibration are super quiet and when fully charged, the We-Vibe will provide up to two hours of fun. And if hands-free fun is what you like, this toy will deliver.
Now, the We-Vibe is advertised as a vibrator to be “worn while you make you love”, but if you don’t have a regular partner or are just looking for a toy to use on your own, don’t be discouraged. I have yet to use this toy during partnered play and I’ve still enjoyed it immensely.
The only thing I didn’t like that much about the We-Vibe is the control switch. While the idea of a “concealed switch” as it’s advertised on its website intrigued me, it’s actually a bit annoying to work with because it’s under the surface and at times, hard to find (you know, when you’re in the middle of using it). Also, to go from the low to high vibrations, you have to move the switch back to its middle “off” position first and that temporary loss of stimulation can be quite the downer when you’re approaching orgasm.
Overall, though? The We-Vibe rocks.

Oh, the Hitachi Magic Wand. The toy every girl should have in her arsenal. The toy I couldn’t wait to get my hands on and take for a ride.
I thought I’d love this toy. I wanted to love this toy. I tried to love this toy but in the end, it just isn’t for me. See…my clit? It’s just really, really sensitive. Even on the lower of it’s two settings, I could not take direct pressure from the Hitachi. When I complained, friends offered suggestions:
“Try it over your clothes.”
“How about with a blanket between you and it?”
“Just put it on your labia and let it barely graze your clit.”
So, I stuck with it and I had one very intense and very fast orgasm. So fast, that I’m not sure I even enjoyed it as I think I spent most of it with my teeth clenched and my free hand knotted into a tense fist.
With the G-Spotter Hitachi Attachment, I was able to endure both the low and high vibrations for a bit longer, but it didn’t give me an orgasm because my girl bits started to go numb before I even got close and I just couldn’t take it any longer. However, if you like seriously strong vibrations, don’t mind a LOT of noise and really want to check out what all the fuss is about, the Hitachi might be for you.
Personally, though? I think the Miracle Massager would make a much better fit for my own anatomy. And hey – the Hitachi really does make one hell of a massager for those other tired, not so sensitive muscles.

Gigi G Spot Vibrator
Oh, Gigi. Isn’t she just pretty? And can I just take a minute to gush about the packaging? That’s right, the packaging. Because the Gigi comes in a long, sleek black box in a satiny black pouch and oh yeah, it comes with a power adapter because it’s rechargeable and in case you were wondering, that is just awesome.
(Honestly, I just cannot imagine buying any toys in the future that aren’t rechargeable.)
So aside from looks, the Gigi has a lot going for her. It’s made of smooth silicone and the handle fits oh so nicely into my hand. The tip has a flat surface which makes for great feelings when inserted and pushed up against my g-spot, but also makes for some great clitoral stimulation because that flat surface feels really awesome when pressed right down over my clit.
And the vibrations? Wow. First of all, there are many (many, many) combinations. The speeds go from barely there to holy shit (in my personal opinion) in quite a lot of steps and there are five different types of vibrations – a continuous one, three pulsing ones in different durations (the middle one of those feels especially awesome when pressed against my clit because the pulses are about the speed I most like being fucked, by the way) and one that vibrates in these nice, little “waves”. The vibrations are super quiet, though be warned – there is a bit of a high-pitched sound just there in the background and while it was easy enough for me to ignore it after I got over my initial thoughts of “WTF?”, it still brings my cats running every now and then.
Gigi is definitely a a luxury sex toy and a little pricier than your standard vibrator. But, if you can swing the cost, I totally think every girl needs her own Gigi.

I’ve been a little uh, into my g-spot lately. (Ok, a lot.) So when I was approached by Vibe Review and asked to pick out some toys to review, it wasn’t surprising that most had the letter “G” in their name, including the Stubby G.
The Stubby G is made by Fun Factory and designed by the awesome “sexperts” at Good Vibrations. It comes in two colors (pink or blue – mine is the blue and it’s very pretty) and is made of 100% medical grade silicone. It takes two AA batteries and surprise – batteries are included!
Aside from the fact that I think this toy looks really cool, it feels good in my hand and is very easy to operate. It’s pretty basic – no pulsing or waves of vibration – which if a feature I sort of really love in my sex toys. Instead of a mess of buttons to operate, there is one large dial on the end which controls the level of vibration and true to the boasts on the packaging, it is extremely quiet.
Normally, it takes a lot more than a little g-spot attention to get me off, but with this toy, I’ve had awesome orgasms without any direct pressure on my clit. The base of toy is slightly flared and has ridges on it and while it doesn’t offer total dual stimulation, if you get on your knees and rock back and forth with this toy nudged up against something (say, your favorite purple pillow), it gives you a great little tease to your clit on every upstroke.
(just sayin.)
The obvious bonuses of this toy are all the bumpy ridges (which feel pretty fantastic when your muscles are squeezing all around them) and that great little curve on tip. For me personally, the length was perfect – just long enough to nestle itself up against my g-spot and offer a relatively hands-free and immensely enjoyable time. And aside from the part where I had a really hard time figuring out how to get the battery compartment out of the toy (here’s a clue – you have to push really, really hard), there was nothing about the Stubby G I didn’t love.
And oh yeah, I think it nearly made me squirt. For the first time ever.
So, uh…SOLD.

Oh, hi there! For those who may not know me, I’m Meg – former writer of a little blog known as The Tales of a Teacher (and Slut). Dear Ms. Viviane has given me the oh-so-fun job of reviewing sex toys and products for The Sex Carnival and now that it’s summertime (with all its supposed easy living), I finally have the time to do the job justice.
I’ve been busy doing my research (ahem) and have plenty of toys to get me started, thanks to the super kind and generous folks over at Lelo and Vibe Review. However, I’d very much like to make this a regular and lasting gig, so if you have something you’d like reviewed, please do get in touch!
