SaSi Vibrator

by Domina Doll on 01/27/2010

SASI.BLACK 500 1 SaSi Vibrator

The SaSi vibrator invented by British company Je Joue has been touted as the best thing since sliced bread.  Well, maybe not sliced bread, but it was named the best sex toy of 2009 by Cosmo magazine and 1 of the top 10 toys of 2008 by Fleshbot.  And, while it can’t slice your bread, it is supposed to be the closest thing to cunninglingus next to a real life tongue.  (Yes, even better than the most excessively promoted sex toy this year, the Sqweel [my review]).

So, what’s the hype all about?

To be honest, I have been one of the many sex toy reviewers who have been craving to get their pussy next to a SaSi.  Who wouldn’t want to try a “sexual intelligence” sex toy that claims to mimic oral sex and learns what you like, just like a lover?  But are these claims true?

Yes.  The SaSi does feel as close as a sex toy can get to a good clitty lickin’. Under a soft silicone stretchy surface, a little pleasure nub sticks out to rub and titillate your clit.  Depending on your mode, this nub strokes, circles and flickers, much like a real tongue, while you control the speed and vibration.

Pre-Programmed Mode

The nub has five settings in the pre-programmed mode, which are the most favored among the test users.  You can cycle through the modes by pressing the next button, or go back.  It is a good way to first get introduced to the various motions of the nub, before trying the Custom Mode out.

Custom Mode

In Custom Mode the SaSi tries various movements which you can pass on by pressing the next button, or tell SaSi you like it, by clicking “Don’t Stop”.  Gradually, SaSi remembers your likes and dislikes and eventually changes the Pre-Programmed Mode to your favorites.

Getting to Know Your SaSi

Like a lover, the SaSi requires a bit of time to get to know her.  She becomes a better lover over time, once she gets to know what you like, and once you get used to her functions.  She’s much more sophisticated than any wham-bam-thank-you-ma’m vibrator and therefore requires more romance before you get down and bed her.  Give the SaSi time to show you her moves so you can make the most out of what she has to offer.

Design

The SaSi is curved to fit neatly between the labia and hug the clitoris.  It takes a while to position the SaSi perfectly, so the nub moves around and touches the clit in just the right way.  Lube is a must and while it takes a bit of trial and error, you’ll know when you got it in just the right place.  In Custom Mode I recommend going slowly through the modes and trying each one as you move the SaSi around to find the best feel.  If it’s not working for you, move on.  When you do find one you like, hit the “Don’t Stop” but then continue on as SaSi just might surprise you with other tricks up her sleeve.  You will find that the SaSi will perform better the second time you use her than the first, as there is a bit of a learning curve with using her.

Controls

I found the buttons a bit difficult to use at first.  This is because I have long fingernails, and it makes it hard to push the buttons, especially the next button when in use.  After a bit, I was better able to control the buttons with practice using the pads of my fingers.

Power

The SaSi needs to be charged before using.  She comes with several plug adapters for use in the North America, UK, Europe, and Australia.  Just plug her in and her indicator will be red when uncharged which turns to green when fully charged.

The SaSi also vibrates in addition to the nubby motions it makes.  On high, this vibration is pretty good (not mind blowing, but satisfactory and comparable with Lelo’s).  Combined with the nub movements, it is enough to get you over the edge to orgasm.

The SaSi is more of a slow seduction that will allow you to gradually build to orgasm, rather than a Va-voom, rock-your-world kind of sex toy.  People who rely on the Hitachi would hate it.  However, if you are into a slow, seductive evening of self-pleasure, then the SaSi is your gal.

Ooh La La Rabbit by NookiiToy

by Domina Doll on 12/16/2009

ooh la la rabbit Ooh La La Rabbit by NookiiToy

NookiiToy is a company owned by two women who first came out with a game called Nookii whose purpose was to inspire “intimacy, discovery and curiosity with a great big dash of playfulness”.  The game was fairly successful, so they took that philosophy and created a whole line playful sex toy kits that combined an individual toy in the distinctive NookiiToy packaging with complementary products and role-playing cards to spice it up a bit.  Some of the kits they have developed include “In the Mood for Love”, the “Weekend Fun Collection” and the “Slap & Tickle” kits.  Today I am reviewing the Ooh La La Rabbit.

I never did get into all the hype around Rabbit Vibrators myself and was never a fan of “Sex in the City”.  The Rabbit Habit (the one made famous by the show) was one of the first sex toys I ever owned.  And, while I enjoyed the Rabbit ears that stimulated the clitoris, I could never get the whole thing to work in unison as it was supposed to.  Since then I’ve owned a few other Rabbits with similar results.  So I’ve pretty well steered clear of Rabbits since then.

But, then I saw the Ooh La La Rabbit by NookiiToy while browsing the TabuToys.com website.  I wanted to try something from Nookii, and felt I was ready to try a Rabbit again.  I loved the packaging, the philosophy behind the toy, that fact that it was designed by women and even the name itself.  And, I since I am someone who never says never, I took the Nookii Ooh La La Rabbit plunge.

The Ooh La La Rabbit comes packaged in this cool oblong tube-shaped cardboard box with a pretty minimalist Art Nouveaux-style line drawing.   It has a little ribbon on top which allows you to pull the top cover off and see the toy kit inside.  The Ooh La La Rabbit comes with a pearl colored Rabbit, a pink blindfold that is satin on one side and fuzzy on the other, a “do not disturb” sign, about 20 “suggestive experience cards and tips” for using your kit, as well as a little circular pamphlet for usage and features.  The tips are pretty cute and give you ideas for ways to touch yourself with the toys and various role-playing scenarios you can try with your partner.  I love the blindfold; it is so cozy and would be the perfect kind to sleep in to get your “beauty” rest.

The Ooh La La Rabbit is made of medical grade silicone so is body safe, with an insertable shaft of 5″ and a thick 1.625″ girth.  It is quite a bit thicker than most Rabbits you will find.  Both the penetrating shaft and the rabbit tickler are covered in sensation bumps for added stimulation, and one of the cards even suggests using the tickler to insert and flutter against the G-spot.  This was kind-of interesting and innovative so I tried it.  But, I’ll get to that in a moment.  The weirdest thing about this toy is that it takes a 9v battery.  I’ve never seen a sex toy take this kind of battery and they may be hard to find in some places.  In fact, while I was reading through all the card teasers and working myself up into a bit of a frenzy to try the toy, I went to insert the batteries thinking they’d be just a bunch of AAs, and realized I didn’t have the correct kind on hand.  That was a big downer and Nookii should include batteries with their toys, especially if they are a unique type that most people do have hanging around, just to avoid disappointment for the user.

So, I did get a 9v and popped that inside the Rabbit.  The 9v seemed powerful enough, yet not more powerful than 6 AAs.  The Ooh La La Rabbit has six vibration modes from straight vibration to various undulations, each controlled by different mode buttons.  There is no unique control for the shaft and ticklers alone, so each setting vibrates both simultaneously.  Also, there is only one speed, which is interchangeable with the modes, but unfortunately you can’t turn the vibe up to max.

I lubed the Rabbit up and first tried one of the suggestions, slipping the vibrating ears inside and positioning them toward my G-spot.  This was quite a feat.  The body of the toy is very close to the ears, so it was very hard to get the toy in that position, and if it had felt good, I wouldn’t have been able to keep it there long because it was so awkward.  But, basically the quivering ears stopped quivering once inside and I felt nothing.  So, I tried the quivering ears on my clit.  I had a barely-there experience that did nothing to stimulate me at all.  Next I tried the shaft itself, which as I said it quite thick.  But, it wasn’t the thickness that bothered me, it was the sensation bumps, that when rubbed repeatedly over my G-spot felt like mild carpet burn.  I can see how they might work to stimulate someone who doesn’t have a sensitive G-spot, but on mine it was very irritating.  Still I tried to get into it for a while, while trying to position the ears on my clit without any success.  So, I turned the ears around and let them stimulate my anus, which was the best way this toy worked for me personally.  After a while, realizing I was not getting turned on by any of the sensations I gave up.  This is one of the only toys I have ever tried that didn’t at some point give me an orgasm.

So, unfortunately, my quest for finding a Rabbit that would work for me was another fail.  This is a shame because I still love the blindfold, the cards, the packaging and the whole Nookii philosophy.  All I can say is that Rabbits, even if they are Ooh La La, are not made for me.  Still if, you love Rabbits and are looking for something with extra girth, you just may find the Ooh La La Rabbit perfect for you.  If you are not a Rabbit lover, NookiiToy still makes some very cool kits like the Weekend Fun Collection, Toys for Boys Kit and the Nookii Game, all of which you can get from Tabutoys.com.

The Cone

by Domina Doll on 07/29/2009

in sex toys,sextoys

thecone The Cone

I love to try out new and innovative products and especially those that really break the mold.  Well, the Cone, is certainly such a device.  And, I say device because calling it a sex toy (even though that is its purpose) seems strange.  Needless to say, I have been coveting the Cone since it appeared on the European market.

Unfortunately, unique designs like these (such as the We-Vibe [my review]) take a lot of trial and error, and are usually more of a novel idea than a product that is purely practical.  Now, I don’t want to dissuade you from wanting to try the Cone as it does have many distinctive qualities and thrills that many people will find exciting, orgasmic and practical.

The Cone is a spherical pyramid shape and is about the size and weight of honeydew melon.  It has a huge motor inside that powers 16 speeds / functions with multiple vibration areas that move around it, but center at the peak.  Some of the vibrations feel deep at the core, while others climax at the apex.  There are gentle undulations, rolling “thunder” vibrations, escalating Va-va-vroooms and even a bass drum roll setting that feels like someone is playing percussion on your womb.  Setting 16 is called the Orgasm Button and it osculates between various other settings at maximum power.  The speeds /setting are controlled easily with an on | off button (also the Orgasm Button) and a button to cycle through the settings.

So far so good.

But, how the hell do you use this device as a “sex toy”?  There are several ways you “could” use it and several ways I tried it.  It comes with a little pamphlet with illustrations to give you some idea, but no actual directions, so you are left up to your own creativity.

thecone2 The Cone

Positions for the Cone

  • Sit on it on a couch.  Sitting directly on the tip is uncomfortable and can be painful.  But wrapping your labia and thighs around it so it fits snug with the clitoris works well.  The most comfortable position for me.
  • Squat on it.  Unless you want a work-out, this is an exhausting position that will leave your thighs quivering before long.
  • Lay belly down with the Cone between your thighs.  No bad, but I find I can’t breathe on my stomach well, so couldn’t get into it.
  • Stick it to the wall with the suction bottom and press yourself backside against it.  Comfortable if you like standing while you masturbate.  I don’t.
  • Stick to the wall lower and go at it doggie style.  Hard to maneuver this way to get it to reach where you want it to be.
  • Lay back and put the point between your thighs.  Comfortable, but doesn’t stimulate well enough as it can’t reach my spots.
  • Curl up on your side and rest it between the thighs.  Also comfortable, but somewhat fetal.  I like to “open up” when I masturbate.
  • On your back, hand-held like a normal vibe.  Hard on the wrists as it is so heavy and difficult to keep in position.

The Cone can and will stimulate the vulva, clitoris and anus as well as the G-spot indirectly.  Clitorally, it doesn’t pinpoint the sensations enough to stimulate that area well.  Vaginally, it doesn’t penetrate deep enough to stimulate there.  It is good for warming up the vulva and anus area before or during sex with a partner.

The Cone has a lot of power, so should get you off.  However, I found the power was too spread out, rather than precise, to really get me worked up.  After a certain point, I knew it wasn’t going anywhere no matter what setting I tried, Orgasm Button and all.

One thing I do think this would be good for is persons with physical limitations or disabilities, as it is hands-free.  I remember reading about a disabled teenager whose caregiver bought him a vibrator so he could masturbate.  Being hands-free the Cone would most likely do this well, especially since you can sit (almost) on it.  Also, it is designed for men as well as women, so mild anal stimulation (or scrotum) works too.  I think it is also more useful as a stimulation toy for partner sex.

The Cone is an interesting if not orgasmic device and if you like to try new strange things, then check it out at VibeReview.  I’m sure there are many more ways to try to use this thing and what feels orgasmic (or not) to me will be different for you.

FemBlossom Review

by Domina Doll on 07/22/2009

in sex toys,sextoys

femblossom FemBlossom Review

As one might expect from the name, the FemBlossom by Emotional Bliss is a very unique sex toy by a very innovative, woman-owned company.  I had the opportunity to try the Womolia a few months back and I really enjoyed that product [my review] so I was excited about reviewing the FemBlossom because the new one heats up.

First of all, the FemBlossom has a unique petal shape that is ergonomically curved to fit against the labia and clitoris simultaneously.  The handle is comfortable to hold and the petal shape does snug nicely against the vulva.  My only problem with this is that it seems to be upside-down.  The tip of the massager (where the vibrations are strongest) hits my anus, rather than my clit if I am self-stimulating.  Trying to use it in reverse is very difficult, because then you lack the use of the handle.  You can use it separately for the vulva, and then use just the tip on the clitoris, but then the rest of the petal head is wasted on the mound.  So design-wise, I feel that this could be improved upon by having a handle with a swivel head on the massager, or somehow having the head reversed so the pointed end hits the clitoris better.

This vibrator is rechargeable (no batteries) and takes about 12 hours to charge.  It then lasts between 90-240 minutes depending on the speed of vibration.  It comes with an adapter for North America, as the toy is made in the UK.  I found the vibration very strong for a rechargeable toy; nearly as strong as a plug-in massager and I have to say I am very impressed with the power it has.  It features three buttons: (|) one to turn the toy off and on, then (+) and (–) escalate through the vibrations and function modes (9 settings).  It also features an LED light to let you know when it is charged or charging.

I was a bit skeptical about the heat feature, but it definitely delivers.  After a few minutes of use the massager head begins to slowly warm up and gets very warm (like a heating pad) but never too hot.  This is the best feature of this toy by far.  It feels amazingly sensual against the vulva and adds a whole new sensation to masturbation.  It also feels great on the shoulders, and the FemBlossom is curved to fit that area just right as well.  Emotional Bliss says that they are the only company on the market to develop “heat technology” for intimate massagers, and from the others that I’ve tested that claimed the same (Aphrodite [my review]) this is true, for nothing could compare to the real heat you get from these vibrators.

Aside for the design issues mentioned above, I do like this massager very much and will use it often when I want a sensual vulva massage with my masturbation session.

Zen and the Art of Fire Cupping

by Domina Doll on 07/08/2009

in bdsm,fetish,massage,sex toys,sextoys

1zen1 Zen and the Art of Fire Cupping

The art of fire cupping began in many ancient cultures as a traditional therapy to treat various ailments by creating a vacuum next to the skin.  “The earliest use of cupping that is recorded is from the famous Taoist alchemist and herbalist, Ge Hong (281-341 A.D.).  The method was described in his book A Handbook of Prescriptions for Emergencies, in which the cups were actually animal horns, used for draining pustules.  As a result of using horns, cupping has been known as jiaofa, or the horn technique.”-Cupping by Subhuti Dharmananda, Ph.D.  In China, it was used as a type of acupressure to relieve respiratory diseases such as the common cold, pneumonia, and bronchitis. Cupping is also said to be good for treatment of back, neck and shoulder pain.

It does, however, have another purpose.  It is used in bdsm as a type fire / sensation play, and can be used for other sexual purposes as well by applying the heated cups to the genitals or breasts.  It also falls under the heading of Medical Fetish.  Unless overheated or left on too long, fire cupping is usually not painful.  The sensation the cups make when applied is like a soft vacuum sucking the skin, much like someone giving you a hickey that builds in intensity the longer the cups are left on.  In traditional fire cupping for treatment, the cups are left on for about one minute, but during bdsm, they can be left on much longer, until the sensation becomes too intense (max 30 minutes).  Often, the cups will leave circular red bruises or hickey marks when removed which slowly fade away.

I have wanted to experiment with cupping sets for a long time and have always been fascinated by them.  This 3 Piece Fire Cupping Set (3 pieces: small, medium and large) is compliments of Extreme Restraints who indulged my desire to learn and play.

Word of Caution:  Fire Cupping can be extremely dangerous because you are playing with fire (obviously).  I burned myself several times trying different methods, until I figured the safest way to do it.  The alcohol method is the most dangerous, but also the most effective.

Rubbing Alcohol Method

As mentioned, this method is the most dangerous, but does create an effective vacuum if you don’t burn yourself first or splash flaming alcohol on yourself or your play partner.  Not fun, and really scary.  So be very careful and play safe!

What You Will Need

  • Glass Fire Cupping Set
  • Bottle of Rubbing Alcohol
  • Cotton Balls
  • Forceps
  • Barbecue Lighter
  • Silicone Lubricant
  • A Pail of Water for Safety

1zen2 Zen and the Art of Fire Cupping

Massage lubricant into the area of the skin you will be cupping to get a better seal against your partner’s flesh.  This will also make the cups easier to remove and move around on the surface of the skin.

Hold a cotton ball with the forceps and soak it with alcohol.  Try not to soak it too much as you don’t want excess or dripping.  Next, use a barbecue lighter to light the cotton ball and hold it inside the cup to warm the inside air (not the cup itself) and then quickly place on the skin, open face down.  You will immediately see the skin pulling inside the cup.  The more the cup cools, the more the skin will be sucked up inside and the more intense the sensation.  Be careful not to get the alcohol on the cup itself, especially the top rim or the outside as this may cause the whole cup to catch on fire and burn you or your partner.

Candle Method

What You Will Need

  • Everything Above except for the Rubbing Alcohol and Cotton Balls
  • A Tall Candle

With this method you just light the candle and hold it under the open cups until the air inside heats up (10 seconds).  I didn’t find that this method created as much suction, but it was much less dangerous.  It also tended to blacken the tops of the cups, or heat the glass too much, rather than just the air.

Leave cups on the skin for the desired amount of time (until sensation becomes too intense), but no more than 30 minutes.  Once on, you can leave the cups in place or slowly move them around the skin if you have put on sufficient lubricant.  Silicone lubricant works best for this purpose because it stays very slippery.  Remove cups by pressing the skin near the rim to allow air to enter the cup and break the seal.  Gently remove.

I did this to my mother actually, as she volunteered to be my guinea pig.  She has fibromyalgia and often experiences muscle pain.  She loved the warmth and the sensation of the cupping on her back.  We left the cups on for about 15 minutes and she had slightly red circles on her back which didn’t hurt.  She also said it made her back muscles feel much better afterwards.  I also tried one on my breast over the nipple and really enjoyed the suction that was created, very erotic.  There seems to be many possibilities of how you could use these cups for various types of sensation and arousal, as much as your perverted mind can think up.

Thank you to Extreme Restraints for allowing me to review their 3 Piece Cupping Set.  It was definitely a learning experience and something I will enjoy doing again and again.  Practice makes perfect!

The Zeus Electrogasm

by Domina Doll on 05/06/2009

in bdsm,sex toys,sextoys

zeus The Zeus Electrogasm

And, now for something completely different!  I have been inspired by Red from the Red Sneaker Diaries to try out some electro-stimulation type sex toys.  She has been doing a series of reviews on erotic E-Stim toys and has become what I consider the Queen of E-stim toys.  Previously, I’ve been a bit wary of trying electrostimulation.  Okay, I’m a chicken actually.  Although I consider myself somewhat of a masochist in that I’m heavily tattooed, love piercings and play piercings as well as heavy breast torture (okay now you know my perverted pleasures), there are some types of sensations that I despise.

A couple of years ago I got a nasty shock from a Violet (violent) Wand.  It was my own fault because of the way I was holding it and I touched a part that I wasn’t supposed to and a jolt of electricity shot right up my arm.  I thought I was going to go into cardiac arrest.  Seriously though, no damage was done and I was more embarrassed than anything.  So, I guess I’ve been shying away from electricity ever since.

But, curiosity killed the cat, so here I am about to blast myself into orgasm or intense shock.  I just started reviewing products for the amazing folks at Extreme Restraints and they asked what I would like to try.  I told them I had never tried electrostimulation, so they recommended the Zeus Electrogasm, which is a beginner E-stim toy.  And, that’s just perfect because I am in no rush to take away Red’s E-stim crown!

zeus2 The Zeus Electrogasm

So, what exactly is this strange little toy?  Well, as you can see it is shaped like a butterfly with two wings that are self-adhesive pads that have the electrodes on the back and the function box on the front that powers the unit.  Fairly simple, no wires or plug-ins, just put in the battery, attach the box to the butterfly and you are ready to play.  The toy is entirely self-contained.  It comes with two flat batteries and easy to read instructions.  Like most electrostimulation toys, this is not supposed to be used above the waist as a shock to the heart could result in cardiac arrest.

So, where did I put it first?  On my breast.  Actually, that’s not true.  First I tried it on my thigh and watched my muscles leap and contract from the jolts, and then I put it on my breast, or more accurately on my nipple (but my right one, I’m no fool!).

The power box has three buttons: “on”, “off” and “function mode”.  Once you have the butterfly stuck in place (for this demo I put the electrodes on either side of my nipple) you press the “on” button once to power it up.  Nothing happens at this point except the light comes on to let you know it is ready.  You can then begin cycling through the different functions with the “function mode” or keep pressing the “on” button to up the intensity.  The directions say it has 5 modes: A: Tapping, B: Rhythmic Kneading, C: Deep Kneading, D: Pressing and E: Continuous Press.  Combined with the 4 intensity levels, this gives you 9 different variations.

So what does it feel like?  Well the A mode feels like a tingling tapping on the lowest intensity and like sharp needles on the highest intensity.  B mode is a short burst of buzzing that becomes fairly intense and more needling on the high intensity.  C mode is a long undulating wave going from light to sharp.  D mode goes through the various settings, and E mode is a long continuous burst, followed by the other modes.  On the lowest intensity it feels like a tickling fluttery feeling, while on the high modes it is a fairly intense needling sensation that sends little shocking jolts through the area (in this case my nipple).  I found the lower levels pleasurable, but couldn’t stand the higher intensities for very long.  I did enjoy cycling through the intensity levels and giving myself a good jolt every once in a while though.  It is really rather freaky playing with this cool little toy, especially if you haven’t experienced it before.  It feels unlike anything I have experienced thus far, and I can see why it could become addictive, or more interesting than the normal sex toy vibration.

The thing I liked best about it is that you won’t experience a painful, shocking jolt, like I did with the Violet Wand.  It is very safe and if you follow the instructions, not painful unless you want it to be.  Next week, I may get the courage up to try it on my clitoris or labia, which is where this toy is recommended for use (or the anus), or in case of a guy, wrapped around the penis.  Because you can’t see the controls when it is down there, I wanted to wait until my partner returns from his business trip to help me out with it.  According to Red, E-stim can be a highly erotic, orgasmic experience, so I am anxious to try this out on my other pink parts.  If you are looking for a different type of erotic stimulation I highly recommend trying this out, especially if you are a beginner.  It is very reasonably priced and may lead you on to a whole sensual journey of electrostimulation.

Thank you to Extreme Restraints for “turning me on” to electro-stimulation play for the first time.  It was an exciting, scary, strange and electrifying experience!  And, once over the initial fear of this toy and you develop a familiarity with the sensation, you may want to go on to bigger and better zaps of pleasure/pain.  Stay tuned to the Sex Carnival each week as I review some unusual bdsm toys from Extreme Restraints as well as my other sex toy reviews.

Bandito

by Domina Doll on 04/22/2009

in sex toys,sextoys

Bandito

So last week I reviewed two strapless strap-on dildos: the Share [my review] and the Feeldoe More [my review].  This week I’m taking a look at a harness-compatible strap-on dildo, the Bandito.  First of all, the name: Bandito is interesting. Def: “…an outlaw especially of Mexican extraction or origin…” Not sure where Fun Factory came up with this name, but I like to think of the Bandito as an outlaw and a bit of a rebel, in that it is unlike any other dildo I have ever owned, and yes I do own a few.  I can almost see him swaggering into a dusty old saloon and driving the saloon girls crazy.  [Insert the theme from "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" here].  But instead of a gun belt, he’s wearing a strap-on harness and is ready for love.

Like all Fun Factory sex toys, the Bandito is made of medical grade silicone and is beautifully designed both for function (very important) and for looks.  The Bandito is the sexiest cock I own, which, being a bit of a Fashionista is important to me.  But, most important is how it works and this cock delivers.

First, it has a perfect G-spot curve much like the Curve dildo [my review] and has elevated whorls that are not just stylish, but give added stimulation to the old in-and-out.  It also features a pronounced nubbin knob on the underside of the head that applies pressure to the G-spot on every out stroke.  This is a bit different feeling than any other dildo I have used and is definitely an effective design function, as my G-spot responded wonderfully to this little nub.  Although it is short (5.5 insertable inches) and of average girth (4.5 inches), this works well for G-spot stimulation, as a woman’s G-spot is only 1″-2″ inside the vagina wall.  I image it would be perfect for prostate massage as well.

The Bandito features a flared tri-sided base that allows it to fit comfortably into a harness to use as a strap-on.  I haven’t seen a whole lot of G-spot dildos that are harness compatible and function as well as this one does.  Many G-spot dildos are hand-held, so this is very cool.  I would love to have someone use it on me with a strap-on to see how it feels when someone else is controlling the thrust.  Any takers?

Overall, the Bandito may be the nicest dildo I own in all respects.  It is certainly the most versatile, even better than my Curve (that I am always raving about!) and is as good as the Curve for G-spot if not better.  The Bandito is a must have dildo.  It has it all, and is really the only dildo you ever need to own.  I love my new rebel cock and can’t wait to show him off.  Look out boys and girls, there’s a new cock in town, and he’s a lover not a fighter.  His name is Bandito.

Thank you to VibeReview for allowing me to review this sexcellent dildo!  Check them out for more great reviews and stellar sex toys.

donwandhelixrocket Why Every Woman Should Own a Glass Dildo

I love my Helix Rocket from Pink Cherry.  It is all of the above, plus mine comes in a lovely red, swirling diachronic design.  My dildo is also slightly curved to reach the G-spot and firm so it really worked to get the waterworks going.  It also features a bulbous head that shape-wise is very realistic and adds to the stimulation of the toy.  It also has a wide, flat base that can be used for anal play.  This toy comes with its own plush cloth storage pouch to keep it safe and sound when not in use.

Whether you want to invest in a simple clear glass wand, or a swirly or bumpy designed juicer, PinkCherry.com has many different types of beautifully designed, high-quality glass dildos to fit every budget and personality.  Go over to Pink Cherry and check out the many styles and colors.  They even have vibrating glass dildos to choose from.  And if you are shopping for Canada, shop at PinkCherry.ca.

Form 6 by Jimmyjane

form6 splash Form 6 by Jimmyjane

I have had the pleasure to review many luxury vibrators from various companies, but this is my first time reviewing a Jimmyjane vibrator.  I have used Jimmyjane’s Afterglow Massage Candles [my review] and fell in love with them.  So I was very curious to see what they would do with a vibrator.  After all, Jimmyjane is a “design centric brand that believes sexy is smart, and the pleasure is in the details”.

Introducing the new Form 6 vibrating massager from Jimmyjane, Generation 2.  The new Form 6 is a redesigned so that it is one of the only rechargeable vibrators that is completely waterproof and submersible up to 1 meter.  Most rechargeable vibrators have a plug-in hole at the end of the vibe to allow it to plug-in to the recharger.  Form 6 is different.  It is cordless and features a metal band around the “neck” of the vibrator that allows it to lay upon the recharger where it connects with two tiny metal prongs which activates the charger.  Because of this, the Form 6 is able to have a sealed chassis so no water can get inside and destroy the vibrator.  The sealed body is also virtually soundproof as well, so even on the highest speed, this vibe will not wake your roommates.  The enclosed charging case also is a convenient storage and travel case that is discreet and will keep your Form 6 clean and safe.

form6 charger Form 6 by Jimmyjane

Another interesting design element with the Form 6 is that it has dual digitally-controlled motors on either end of the vibrator, allowing either end to be used.  The smaller curved end is perfect for both clitoral and G-spot stimulation, while the larger, thicker end works well as a fully insertable vibrator.  Both ends feature six vibration modes from mild vibration, to oscillation, to throbbing pulses.

The controls on the Form 6 are fairly simple, yet sophisticated featuring (.) (~) (o) symbol controls that are inline with the wand. Pressing the smaller (.) with increase the power level on the smaller curved head, where as pressing the larger (o) will increase the power level on the larger head.  The (~) symbol is pressed to cycle through the six different vibration modes.  It also features a fail-safe lock, so it will not turn on automatically by just touching it randomly, and you need to hold any button for 2 seconds to activate the vibrations.  These buttons also light up, which is nifty if you are using it in a dark bedroom at night.  Once fully charged, the Form 6 runs approximately 2 hours on maximum power.

The vibrator itself is coated with medical-grade silicone with a smooth matte finish, over a firm curved body.  It feels lush against the skin and the smooth organic contours mold perfectly to the body.  I preferred using the smaller, curved end as the power was ideal for clitoral stimulation that lead to a very satisfying orgasm.  When used internally as a G-spot toy, this vibrator rocks.  The curved head is perfectly formed to reach the G-spot easily and the thicker wand-shaped handle allows you to comfortably hold the vibrator and rock it up and down for maximum G-spot stimulation.  I have said this time and again in my reviews, that the G-spot requires firm thrusting stimulation, which the Form 6 is immaculately designed for.

Now some of you may shudder at the $185 price tag that this luxury vibrator has.  However, I believe that the quality design, sophisticated vibrations, rechargeable aspect and durability of this vibrator is worth it.  Hell, I think I’m worth it!  Besides, the Form 6 also comes with a one year warranty, and in the world of sex toys what you pay is what you get.  So I would much rather have a quality vibrator that I will use again and again for years of pleasurable orgasms, than something I might use once a throw away.  The Form 6 is an elegantly designed seriously sexy vibrator that is a must have for savvy sex toy connoisseurs.  Once you own a vibrator from Jimmyjane, you won’t need anything else!

Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary

by Domina Doll on 03/25/2009

in sex toys,sextoys

marymermaid Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary

I want to start off by stating that I am not an advocate for dual-purpose vibrators.  I have tried several including the We-Vibe [my review], the Rabbit Habit, and the Snugglepuss [my review], all with similar disappointing results.  How I wanted to be like Miranda from Sex in the City and fall in love with my dual-action vibes, but alas, it was never meant to be.

However, I had very high hopes for Mary Mermaid for several reasons.  First, it is designed by Fun Factory, one of my favorite sex toy designers who also makes my beloved G-spot dildo the Curve [my review].  It features a beautiful sleek design that is whimsical, without dubbing down the toy to make it look like a kid’s toy.  Even a grown woman like me may have a secret fantasy for mermaids.  Rabbits-on the other hand-have never been very sexy to me.  The design of the tail was something that also got my attention, and I imagined those wide flippers licking deliciously against my clitoris and causing me to having crazy, awesome orgasms.

The reality it this:  Mary, Mary is quite contrary.  She is beautifully designed, but is more “art for art sake” than functional.  Her phallus-shaped body is fine for penetration, although becomes slimmer on the end, so not ideal for G-spot stimulation.  I prefer a larger, more bulbous head for my G-spot.  And, although she “twists and shakes” neither is sufficient enough to get me overly excited.  The real bummer, however, is Mary’s tail that promised me orgasms but did not deliver.  The tail should have been designed much longer and closer together, so it would snuggle the clitoris on both sides.  As it is, neither side reaches my clit without a struggle.  And, trying to keep the tail on your clit while pumping the dildo to and fro is an exercise in frustration.

Unfortunately, I’m back to using two toys again that do a great job together (one for G-spot and the other for clitoral) rather than a dual-action that does neither.  I’m afraid I will never be converted to a dual-action toy, although I am always so tempted to keep trying.  So, back in the ocean with you Mary Mermaid.  Let’s see if you will sink or swim.

Natural Contours Ideal Massager

by Domina Doll on 02/14/2009

in sex toys,sextoys

ideal Natural Contours Ideal Massager

The Natural Contours Ideal massager will not only relieve sore muscles, but it will give you delicious killer orgasms.  The vibrations were crazy intense and I nearly jumped out of my seat when I came, again and again.  It massages the whole vulva, which translates into intense, multiple orgasms.  I even ejaculated which I seldom do with clitoral stimulation alone.  First I used the Ideal with the G-Plus Attachment.  It didn’t take me long to have a G-spot orgasm gush with this simple but effective little tool.  Right afterward, I did something that I usually am way to sensitive to do, that is masturbate again, but this time only the clitoris.  So, I pulled off the G-Plus Attachment and used the massager head on my vulva and clitoris.  I don’t think I would have been able to climax again, so quickly, had it not been for the power of this massager.  I had the most intense, wicked orgasm that I have ever had, the second time as my pussy was still quaking from my G-spot orgasm.  I could feel the clitoral orgasm stretching down right to my g-spot and back again.

Many believe that the G-spot is only an extension of the clitoral structure, the part of the clitoris that stretches down around the vulva and deep into the vagina.  I certainly believe they are attached and could actually feel it.  And, it doesn’t matter how many orgasms you have experienced, your orgasms can become bigger, better and more intense as you experiment with different toys, and types of masturbation techniques.  I also attribute the power of this orgasm to the fact that I am doing kegels much more often, which is producing more powerful orgasms every week.  Try the Natural Contours Energie [my review] or Luna Beads [my review] if you want to take your kegels to a whole new level.

The Natural Contours Ideal is lightweight, very powerful, ergonomically shaped for both right and left handed people, has two speeds, features a flexible, comfortable head perfect for massaging all your erogenous zones, is cordless and fully rechargeable.  It actually runs for a long time without recharging it and the charge doesn’t seem to lessen if you haven’t used it for even a week.  The head and G-Plus Massager Attachment are phthalate and latex-free, and the attachment fits most ball head massager like the Hitachi Magic Wand and the Miracle Massager [my review]. The Ideal is now my new favorite toy.  I actually freak-out this week when I couldn’t find it after coming back from my trip to Montreal.  Luckily, it was just hidden under the couch after my partner did a bit of “house cleaning”.

Womolia Vibrator from Babeland

by Domina Doll on 02/04/2009

in sex toys,sextoys

womolia Womolia Vibrator from Babeland

The Womolia is a rechargeable vibrator by Emotional Bliss, an European manufacturer that is only available in North America through select stores like Babeland.  It is a high quality sex toy, made out of ABS plastic, with silicone tip for added comfort.  The end of the Womolia is petal-shaped, so perfect for fitting inside the inner labia and stimulating the entire vulva area.  I really enjoyed the feeling of my entire vulva being stimulated by this toy, and the vibrations run from subtle to fairly intense depending on the speed or vibrating pattern you choose.  It is comfortable to hold, discrete looking and fairly powerful for a mid-size massager.  I was impressed at how powerful this vibrator is on the maximum setting.  Be prepared to have your socks knocked off!

The good thing is that it is a rechargeable vibrator, so no batteries to buy or change.  It comes with an international converter for charger, and takes approximated fourteen hours to charge.  The vibe lasts from 60-90 minutes fully charged.  This is the only problem I saw with this vibrator, as unlike many other rechargeable vibes, this one does not hold the charge long.  So if you don’t use it right away (after charging) it will loose the charge by the following day.  That is too bad, because this is such an excellent toy in every other way and would be a fav, if the charge lasted longer, so it was ready when you are.  Solution?  I guess you could leave it plugged in, except when not in use, like the We-Vibe [my review], but I’m not sure if that too would wear down the charge after time.  I am going to try this with the Womolia, as I would like to play with it more often.

I really enjoyed trying the Womolia by Emotional Bliss and look forward to more of their products.  Thank you to Babeland for offering me this product for review.  Check out Babeland for lots of sexy Valentine’s Gift Ideas!

Rock Chick G Spot Vibrator

by Domina Doll on 01/14/2009

in sex toys,sextoys

rockchickvibrator Rock Chick G Spot Vibrator

I just recently received the Rock Chick G Spot Vibrator from Vibrator.com. I have tried a few other vibrators similar to the Rock Chick including the Snugglepuss and the We-Vibe, both with not so great results. The Rock Chick is different, however. Unlike like those other sex toys the Rock Chick fits my anatomy much better which is an important consideration with G Spot Vibrators. Also, unlike those other vibes, the Rock Chick is made of very firm silicone which translates into firm G-spot stimulation, which most women respond best to.

I tried this vibrator laying down first and it worked well to stimulate my G-spot but was missing my clitoris. So, I decided to sit on it, and well, rock. I guess that is why they named it the Rock Chick. When you sit on this vibe it penetrates deeper and also snuggles the clitoral area and vulva much better. Using a rocking motion, you can get the vibe to “fuck” you (I couldn’t find a more appropriate word) hands-free which is an incredible sensation, much like riding reverse cowgirl. If you want, you can even bounce a bit on the bed, and get the vibe really rocking and penetrating, although if anyone saw you, you’d most likely look very silly. Lucking, no-one usually watches me when I masturbate.

The Rock Chick G Spot Vibrator gave me an amazing orgasm using this method and I really love it. It is like the Curve dildo (my favorite dildo) but with vibrations and a clitoral stimulator as well. The Rock Chick is really the best vibrator I had ever tried for dual stimulation, although I have never been a huge fan of rabbit vibrators. This is the ultimate sex toy I have been looking for and dreaming about. The Rock Chick really rocks!

The Rock Chick G Spot Vibrator is brought to you by my friends at Vibrator.com, home of high quality sex toys for women who love their G-spot.

Luna Beads

by Domina Doll on 12/31/2008

in sex toys,sextoys

lelo luna beads Luna Beads

Although I have never had children, I still believe it is important to exercise my PC muscles on a regular basis. “Overtime, the vagina and its surrounding muscles on the pelvic floor can weaken, stretch, become torn and no longer offer support… Since the PC muscle also encircles the outside of the vagina, healthy PC muscles will improve sexual arousal… allow you to reach orgasm more easily, experience more powerful and pleasurable orgasms, and may even help you achieve multiple orgasms as you learn to better control and respond to your sexual arousal. Fit PC muscles also improve G-spot stimulation and can help you learn to experience G-spot orgasms and female ejaculation.”–from my article: Vaginal Health and Kegel Exercises.

But, to be honest, doing kegel exercises is often a drag.  Either I forget to do them, or get bored with them.  That’s where Luna Beads come in, thank you to the wonderful gals at Babeland.  I have tried various other kegel exercisers before including Fun Factory’s Smart Balls [my review].  And, although I liked Smart Balls and Fun Factory toys, for me they can’t compare to Luna Beads.  Lelo, a designer of pleasure objects and the creators of Luna Beads, just seems to do everything better.  They have an intuitive knowledge of a woman’s anatomy and make “pleasure items” that just feel and work to perfection.

Luna Beads are sleek and sexy.  They are made from PC-ABS plastic that is ultra-sleek and feels like silk against the skin.  The kit (housed in an elegant and practical storage box) comes with four weighted beads (two 28 gram beads and two 37 gram beads), a silicone composition girdle (to hold the beads in place when using two in tandem), an instruction booklet to show you how to use them, a satin storage bag and a one year warranty.

Now, you are probably wondering, “why all the beads”?  This is because Lelo has designed a neat little system to use the beads based on experience level and desired workout.  You can use just one bead starting at the lowest weight of 28 grams if you have never done kegels with beads before, for a “low impact” workout.  Add the second 28 gram bead to the first using the composition girdle and you have a 56 gram workout and two beads to squeeze around.  You can mix and match the beads for more challenging workouts and varying results, working your way up to the two 37 gram beads workout.  It is just an ingenious system!

What I love about Luna Beads is how they feel.  They slide in very easily with a bit of lube and are nice and small.  I found Smart Balls were a bit big for me and am much happier with the size of the Luna Beads.  They are quite perfect.  That doesn’t mean you won’t get a good work out from them, however, the workout will just be that much more comfortable.  I could actually wear these all day without worrying about them, they are so comfortable.  Plus, they are actually enjoyable to workout with.  They make kegels exercises much more exciting and pleasurable.  As a matter of fact, I used them while masturbating with a clitoral vibe (my favorite the Lily-also by Lelo) [my review].  Annie Sprinkle always promotes clenching your PC muscles while masturbating to experience bigger, better, longer, multiple orgasms and body-gasms.  Masturbating with the Luna Beads makes this much easier to do because you can concentrate on that area while feeling the balls inside you.  Well, I want to say that Annie is right (as usual) and with the help of Luna Beads I was able to have one of Annie’s mega-gasms.  Mine didn’t last five minutes like hers, but at least a minute I’m sure.  Seriously, I thank Luna Beads for helping me make this discovery.

I now try to wear Luna Beads on a daily basis, for an hour or so in the morning while drinking my tea and catching up with emails.  I have noticed my muscles seem much firmer already after only two weeks.  Before, doing kegels always seemed like a chore, but now they are such a pleasure.

We-Vibe Review

by Domina Doll on 12/17/2008

in sex toys,sextoys

wevibe We Vibe Review

I have wanted to try the We-Vibe ever since it first came out.  Why?  Many reasons.  First of all the We-Vibe is an adult lifestyle luxury product designed and built in Canada by Standard Innovation Corp.  I’m all about promoting products close to home.  Maybe this isn’t the Canada Arm for the International Space Station, but a close enough?

Second, the We-Vibe is a very unique design.  Much like the G-Rock and Snugglepuss (my review) the We-Vibe is built in a U-shape for simultaneous G-spot and clitoral stimulation.  One end (the smaller end) fits securely inside the vagina to hug the G-spot, while the other end form fits to the vulva and clitoris.  I have never had much luck with Rabbit Vibrators, so the We-Vibe design seemed to be a very clever and appropriate alternative to these.

One of the things I love the best about the We-Vibe is that it is rechargeable.  I am all about trying to lower my carbon footprint with green sex toys like the We-Vibe, so this is a bonus for me.  This vibe just plugs into the wall to recharge and away you go.  I also love the stylish case the We-Vibe comes in, much like a classy case for designer sunglasses that fits right in your purse.

The We-Vibe is made of high-end quality materials and covered in soft textured silicone that is ribbed for extra sensation.  It snuggled comfortably against my pussy and felt just divine.

The best thing about the We-Vibe is that you can use it for partner penetrative sex.  The We-Vibe is deceptively small, especially with all the images you see on the internet.  It is actually tiny and fits into the palm of your hand.  Amazingly, a penis (or strap-on dildo if you prefer) is able to penetrate and fuck you into ecstasy while the We-Vibe molds into place on your G-spot sending waves of vibration and bumping and grinding pleasure to your sweet orgasmic zone.  This is exactly what the We-Vibe is designed to do and is by far its best purpose.

The only thing I would like to see re-designed in the We-Vibe is the power of vibrations and the switch.  Although I found the G-spot side to be powerful and pleasurable, the clitoral side could be much more powerful in order to rock my world.  As a clitoral vibe, it tingled nicely, but never quite gave me the punch to put me over the edge.  The switch is hidden on one end of the vibe and is hard to push back and forth because it is small, and once you get going and all lubed up is very slippery.

All in all, the We-Vibe is a wonderful sex toy and a quality product.  I recommend it for couple sex and exploring G-spot stimulation.  It is much more advanced that most vibrators on the market and perfect for those who are bored with regular vibes and want to try something a bit different.  I liked it much better than the Snugglepuss although I have yet to try the G-Rock (review coming soon!)

If you would like to try this toy or other quality sex toys please visit my friends at VibeReview.
