Review: Nothing but a Tease
3/28/11

The Lil' Teaser by CalExotics is a very slim vibrator with a flexible tip. It reminds me of a pacifier with its nook-like tip and ring at the base if infantilism is your thing, but its 5" length (3 1/4" insertable) and 7/8" diameter take away from the fantasy.

Lil' Teaser Packaging


The Lil' Teaser comes in CalExotic's trademark packaging which is quite colorful and non-discreet. You're best off discarding it and finding a new storage solution for your toy. With such a teeny size though, this vibe fits easily amongst your other goodies in a toy box or even in your bedside table.

Lil' Teaser


The best feature of the Lil' Teaser is that it's made of silicone. Yup, this little guy couldn't be made of anything better. He can be shared without a condom because he can be bleached or boiled, or stick with the traditional soap and water method if you plan on keeping him to yourself. Only use water based lubes with him though as silicone based can make him tacky.



When you're not using him as a pacifier, this vibrator is best used clitorally. It simply lacks too much diameter to be remotely interesting when inserted. Here's the kicker though: the tip of the Lil' Tickler bends like crazy. It's impossible to get any worthwhile sensation on the clit because neither the vibrations are strong enough nor can you add any pressure to enhance what vibrations there are. This little guy takes one N battery (included) which are usually pretty powerful, but it's just not enough with the Lil' Teaser's single setting.

Its labeled as waterproof, however this toy lacks an o-ring around its twist-off base so it's really not something I'd recommend. Furthermore, the seam where the silicone connects to the plastic was a concern of mine. Product pictures show it in much better condition, but my toy arrived looking raggedy and rough in that area.

As cute as it is, I can only recommend the Lil' Teaser as an erogenous vibrator, for those who can get off with very little stimulation, or even as a gag gift. Whether ironic or intentional, the name of this vibrator suits it perfectly.

Thank you CalExotics for sponsoring this review!

Review: Squiggle isn't so Squiggly
3/26/11

The Squiggle by CalExotics is a purple, textured, multifunction vibrator. At 8 1/2" inches long (6 3/4" insertable), with a 1 3/4" diameter, this toy is filling for me but should work for many bodies. There's one detail that makes it just a little different from a tradition vibe though: it bends! But we'll get to that in a minute.

Squiggle


Right off the bat, there's one big downside to this vibrator. Its made out of PVC which isn't the safest of materials. PVC can smell very rubbery so it should be washed and aired out a few days at least before playing. Some say the smell never truly disappears, but I've had mine for a while and only smell it if I put my nose right up to the toy so this isn't a concern of mine. What really bothered me is that when I first received this toy it felt sweaty and sticky! The sweatiness disappeared after I washed it, but this strange sticky feeling—which I'm sure now is a characteristic of PVC—remains. Furthermore, PVC is porous so a condom definitely needs to be used if shared. It can't be boiled or bleached; soap and water is your only option. I'd say the only upside to this material is that it can be used with any lubricant.

Texture 1 Texture 2 Texture 3

Besides the poor material, the second thing that will probably catch your attention is the texture. The Squiggle's texture appears very pronounced and potentially troublesome, but alas! it's really no trouble at all. The head has small grooves in it which I can't even feel. Then we come across some diagonal bulges and it's not the texture that I feel, but the added girth which I actually love. I can't speak for those who have birthed children, but my vagina tends to push out anything that I'm not holding in. But this diagonal texture would hold the vibrator inside me, which I found it strangely erotic. I recommend doing kegels with this toy too; it feels pretty damn amazing. My vagina is too shallow to discover the last ridges near the base of the toy, so I'm unsure of how they'd feel inserted.

Squiggle, bent


Back to Squiggle's flexibility. Near the middle of this vibe is a bendable area that allows you to angle the Squiggle any direction you want. While this is really an ingenious idea, it totally falls short. For example, let's say you wanted to angle it for g-spotting. While it holds pretty well at first, as soon as you attempt to apply pressure to your g-spot, the Squiggle bends right back, if not even backward.

Battery Compartment


At least we got vibes right? The base of the Squiggle unscrews to reveal a battery cradle. At first I rolled my eyes, expecting this to be just as troublesome as some other battery cradles which often fit far too snugly and have to be pried out. Fortunately even with the three AAA batteries, this cradle slides right out. Also, I'm really pleased that there are indicators showing which way to insert the batteries and the cradle into the toy. In the heat of the moment, things like that can be complicated!

Controls


The controls are very straightforward, which I really like (and it lights up!). One button serves as the power button and the other is the function button and there are ten functions total. When I first turned this vibe on, I was very impressed with the vibrations and was sure the Squiggle was going to carry me over in no time. That is until I realized that when you turn the Squiggle on for the very first time it will be on the highest standard vibration setting. Now that's a bit of a letdown. The second and third functions are the medium and low vibrations, and the remaining seven are mostly variations of pulsations and a couple escalating. I really liked the fast pulsations but they just weren't strong enough to really deliver. I'd say that overall the vibrations were average in strength and I was pretty impressed with its quietness considering, but I wouldn't say its anywhere near silent.

So far the Squiggle is my favorite CalExotics toy simply because the size is perfect and I absolutely love how my vagina hugs it. If you're able to overlook its material, that its bending ability which its marketed to do is disappointing, and average range vibrations, the Squiggle might surprise you in other ways.

Review: Bumpy Pink Giant
3/21/11

I’ll be honest, when I first opened the Power Bumper I was pretty terrified. This rabbit vibrator is huge, pink, and bumpy. I was sure I’d never be able to use it as it was meant to because of its frightening size and obvious traction problems, but I took a deep breath and stepped up to the challenge.


(Click images for full size.) Compared to my forearm and two bottles (11.2 oz and 2 liter).


I’m seriously going to annoy you guys with talking about how big this toy is, but I’m really not kidding. From base to tip, the entire length of this toy is about 10 ½”, of which about 5 ½” is insertable. The rabbit measures 4” from base to ear tips. But what I was really afraid of was the diameter; this bad boy is 1 ½” in diameter not to mention its texture.

The Power Bumper is made of TPR and isn’t firm. This allows the rotating beads to be felt against the skin, especially when squeezed or inserted in the vagina. It’s also more pliable and squishy which helps a lot for insertion. Unfortunately, TPR is porous so it needs to be used with a condom when sharing because it cannot be bleached or boiled. To clean, simply use soap and water. Both silicone and water based lubricants are safe to use.


The controls. Sorry for being dirty/dusty; this has been set down many places today.


The base of the PB is actually plastic, with push button controls, and a twist off battery cap. I think the controls are a pain because you have to memorize what button does what. Clearly you cannot see the bottom of this toy while you’re masturbating! So it’s very easy to push the wrong button, get off your groove, and have to work yourself up again when you’ve gotten your settings back. It takes four AAs to get this guy running, and then you have options: vibrations, spinning beads, or both?

I like to start off with vibrations to warm up, but unfortunately only the rabbit vibrates. Still, it can easily be used on the clit without insertion. And wow, this vibe is actually pretty powerful! I was really impressed because usually when I encounter a vibe that has only two settings, low and high, usually high isn’t really high. But low is more than adequate for warm up and I can come without even using the higher setting. The vibrations can be felt through the entire rabbit, so whether you’re wanting a tease with the ears or a deeper vibration near the base, you can have the best of both worlds.

Insertion was difficult at first, as predicted. But I really overreacted when I first opened this product because once you’ve warmed up and add some lube, it’s not that hard to insert. I did like the texture of the bumps and think that they really added to the experience, but they can be troublesome at first. I didn’t experience any pain using this toy, as large as it is. Just remember to take it slow! Unless you’re accustomed to larger toys, you won’t be able to thrust with this anyway.

There are four rows of rotating beads in the middle of the shaft which can be rotated either way. This is my first experience with rotating beads, and I have to say it’s really a different type of sensation, especially inside your vagina. Personally I could not insert the PB deep enough to experience all the beads internally, which may not be a bad thing because I really enjoy stimulation at the entrance. I’m not sure how I really feel about them though; I don’t think it really was a wow factor for me. The actual shaft gyrates too, and I think I enjoyed that more than the beads.

Clearly if you’re looking for a discreet toy, this is not it. Not only does its very image scream “Look at me!” but it’s not a quiet toy by any means. The lower vibration setting isn’t too bad and neither is the higher one, but it’s the spinning beads that make a very loud electronic noise.

In the end I was able to overcome this pink beast and it gave me a decent orgasm. It really wasn’t as terrible as I had feared, and this rabbit isn’t a disappointment if it’s in your size range. But for me, I’ll be avoiding rabbits of this size and look for something a lot more manageable.

Review: It's Noon(er)time



The Nooner by CalExotics is a multispeed novelty vibrator. Its small size makes it great to slip into your purse or take on a trip, and the velvety texture makes up for its lack of functions. If you’re looking for a basic vibe that’s small, feels great, and is very inexpensive, the Nooner might be for you.


(Image courtesy of CalExotics.com)The Nooner comes in some very in-your-face non-discreet packaging which is best discarded—it isn’t a great storage option, even if you don’t have to worry about prying eyes.


At a total of six inches in length and a diameter/circumference of 1”/ 3 ¼”, the Nooner is definitely not a full sized vibrator. This gives Nooner the best of both worlds: allowing it to be a portable vibe that can still be inserted. In my experience with more compact vibrators, they generally cannot be inserted or are not pleasurable enough while inserted. It’s true that the Nooner won’t allow you a feeling of fullness, but the velvet cote texture has a little bit of a tug to it which is great around the vaginal opening and especially on the clitoris. Unfortunately, even though this is a small vibe, it’s not very discreet like other compact vibes can be.

As previously mentioned, this vibrator’s body is velvet cote (according to its packaging), which is non-porous and phthalate-free. Its dial and battery twist-cap are made of plastic which shares the same properties, minus the gripping texture. This makes it easy to clean with soap and water, but when sharing it should be used with a condom since it cannot be boiled or bleached. The same applies to it being used as an external anal stimulator (but don't insert this as it has no protective base!) Water and silicone based lubricants can be used without harming this vibrator.

What I really like about this vibe is that it takes only one AA battery. Just twist off the bottom, slip in the battery, and turn the dial base to your preferred intensity. Personally I prefer to turn this vibe all the way up immediately, because it isn’t overly powerful and I like very strong vibrations. It does have enough power to get me off, but if you absolutely need a powerful vibe, this won’t work for you. Furthermore, the vibrations aren’t deep and are definitely “buzzy”, much like the very non-discreet sound it gives off when it’s in use. It's not loud enough though to be distracting during sex and its small size allows it to be used in non-embracing positions if you just need that little extra something.

If you do purchase the Nooner and aren’t satisfied with its vibrations, definitely try it out in other areas. It does wonders on nipples, tender sides, other erogenous zones, and even feet, making it great for foreplay. Unfortunately it’s not safe for exploring under water, even though the packaging labels it as waterproof.

Overall I’d recommend this product to beginners rather than more advanced users, unless they have a penchant for basic vibrators. Everyone should have at least one in their collection though, because sometimes it’s really great to go back to our sex toy roots.

Review: Intimately Smooth with Inttimo
3/20/11

I always just use body soap when I shave. It gets the job done but definitely not without some very unpleasant razor burn. Looking for an alternative, I came across Inttimo Shave Kreme by Wet (1.5 oz for $7.99) which is an amazing smelling shaving cream that will leave your skin silky smooth and smelling delicious. It’s a great option if you shave but don’t want your partner to be eying your annoying razor burn when it’s time to strip down after a lovely date.



Wet International produces lubricants in the same price range, but they’re not entirely out of their element by creating a shaving product. Inttimo is specifically marketed to shave your “kitty” but also the rest of the body. It also claims to be “rash free” and “shield against irritation and razor bumps”, which is definitely supported by the following ingredients: aloe vera, vitamin E, jojoba, and shea butter.

Unfortunately it also contains some ingredients that can cause irritation, like parabens. You should also avoid this product if you’re into natural ingredients and avoid –ates and –cones. Ingredients (potential problematic ingredients underlined): Water (Aqua), Aloe Barbadensis (Aloe Vera) Leaf Juice, Behentrimonium Methosulfate, Cetearyl Alcohol, Stearalkonium Chloride, Hydroxyethyl Ethylcellulose, Wheat Amino Acids, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Silk Amino Acids, Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5), Avena Sativa (Oat) Kernel Extract, Allatoin, Stearyl Alcohol, PEG-75 Lanolin, Glycerin, Cetyl Alcohol, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter) Extract, Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E Acetate), Fragrance, Tetrasodium EDTA, PEG-8 Dimethicone, PEG-8 Ricinoleate, Fragrance, Phenoxyethanol, Methylparaben, Ethylparaben, Citric Acid, Blue #1, Red #33.

Inttimo definitely has the liking to a lotion or conditioner rather than a cream. I’d say that shaving creams and gels are totally incomparable to Inttimo’s texture. It’s decently thick, doesn’t lather or foam, and moisturizes the skin. It has a smooth consistency that isn’t sticky and it doesn’t leave a residue.

Inttimo is fragranced, but it’s far from overpowering. It cannot be smelled more than one to two feet away, which is great because it won’t distract from any perfume or cologne but can be smelled on the skin by a lover. The scent is called “forbidden fruit”, which is definitely fruity and sweet, but not candy-like.

In regards to actual shaving, this is a pretty impressive product. Its claims for being rash and razor burn free hold true. Even if you do happen to nick yourself, it doesn’t sting or irritate the skin. A dime sized amount is all that’s needed to adequately cover the armpits and groin, and another dime size is enough for the entirety of the legs. I wouldn’t say that a little goes a long way, especially since there is so little product to begin with, but you will need less of this product than a traditional shaving cream or gel.

However, as much as I like the results, they really are no different than shaving with a conditioner. The area is moisturized and lubricated to protect against a razor, and that’s how you get such smooth results without the need to apply lotion or aloe vera after shaving. Considering the ratio of price per volume, purchasing a conditioner is a much more wallet friendly option, plus then you’d have an array of choices in regards to fragrance.

The bottle itself is difficult to work with. It’s got a push open top but the plastic of the bottle itself is so firm that it’s really hard to squeeze the product out. Definitely store this upside down and use gravity to your benefit. Disregarding that small but important detail, it really is perfect for traveling and isn’t graphic, so unless someone is peeking at your shower items it is discreet enough that it shouldn’t cause any issues to carry around.

Ultimately, I recommend anyone to at least try this product. It’s expensive considering how little product you’re actually getting and that it’s basically a fancy conditioner, but it’s perfect for special occasions. Consider picking up a bottle if you have a partner who goes nuts over perfectly smooth and moisturized skin.

Spice It Up Inception: How to Convince Your Partner to be more Bold in the Bedroom

via SexToy.com. Click here to view the original article.

Is you sex relationship getting a bit blah with the same old, same old? Ever wish for some spontaneity, creativity and variation to spice up your love life? If your partner is a bit reluctant to try new things, we give you our “Spice It Up Inception” to invade your lover’s dream and plant a seed in their subconscious. Of course, seeing the movie Inception may be helpful in showing you how this works. And, you are not really going to invade their dreams, just allow them to fulfill their own (and yours) by dropping subtle hints.

1. Get a catalog of sexy lingerie and leave it open to a page of something you want, circle the picture and write: “I want this!!” This is similar to want you did as a kid with the Christmas Wish Catalog.

2. Get a How-to Sex Book and get caught reading it when your lover comes home. Explain to them you wanted to learn “How to do different sex positions” or whatever it is you want them to learn with you, and then show them some of the pictures.

3. Play the movie “When Harry Met Sally” and during the orgasm scene look wishfully at your lover and say, “You know they say people who have more orgasms live longer. Just saying…”

4. Lick a lollipop in a very seductive way in front of your lover and smile at them, letting them know you want to share some oral sex. Make sure you have your flavored lube handy!

5. Leave sexy little notes all over the house for when your lover gets home, leading to the bedroom, like a sexy scavenger hunt. Make sure to have candles burning, something sexy to wear, and some erotic body lotions to play with when they get there.

6. Get a sexy game that you and your lover can play together. Try Love Affair, Climaxxx, or Sensations games for lovers. Or just a game of Truth or Dare, with the emphasis on the “Dare”!

7. Leave a blindfold and a pair of soft fuzzy bondage cuffs on their pillow, with an erotic feather for sensation play. Berman’s Mistress Kit is perfect for this as it is playful, yet not intimidating.

8. Buy some exotic bath salts and massage oils and pamper yourselves with an erotic bath together with an intimate massage to follow-up. Great for foreplay and who knows where it might lead? ,

9. Get some Fantasy Coupons, put them in their lunch box, and later act out your sexual fantasies.

10. Buy a stripper pole and put it in the middle of the living room (it can easily be removed later). Hint, Hint!

Review: Best? Gay Erotica 08
3/18/11


The cover and inside to give you an idea of text size.


Best Gay Erotica 08 is a compilation of erotic, homosexual stories by various authors. There are seventeen stories total between the 224 pages of this book, and I believe they are presented quite nicely. We begin with a foreword by the editor which is short and to the point—what a relief!—and an introduction by Emanuel Xavier who has contributed to the Best Gay Erotica series in the past. I think at some points this introduction is a little inappropriate because Xavier often mentions himself and his accomplishments, and obviously this compilation is not about him. In the scheme of things though, I suppose that’s of little importance.

Then we get to the stories themselves. This collection is interesting, but I’m saddened to find that I’m still not horny by page 158. Violent and cocky tops, tickling fetishes, failed relationships, drugs and flashbacks, prostitution and watersports, annoying repetition (“I remember…”), hairy men, and incest don’t get me excited. At that point I was pretty confused. Isn’t this erotica? Isn’t this supposed to get me hot? Clearly Mr. Xavier’s turn-ons don’t match mine, because he says in his introduction on page xii that “Lube and cum stains sealed the selection of each finalist in this collection.” I’m not feeling his enthusiasm.

There were stories that I enjoyed however, even if they didn’t excite me. Donuts to Demons by Horehound Stillpoint is extremely well written and I would agree with Xavier that it’s plenty artistic. I actually went to hunt down more of Stillpoint’s work. Breeding Season by Taylor Siluwé is almost a winner, taking you into the mind of a high school boy in love with his best friend. Snowed in with Sam by Jeff Mann is almost my cup of tea, minus one disturbing detail and hairy bears. Come to Light by Rhidian Brenig Jones is nearly brilliant, and I’m beginning to realize the stories get better as you go along. Underground Operator by Andrew McCarthy is definitely a fun one if you’re into public sex and threesomes.

Finally, we come across two final concluding sections about the authors and editors. Here you’ll find a tiny bit of background on each author, any previous works, and sometimes their contact information. Likewise, the editor section contains the same information.

Overall, the anticipation for this hot and heavy, overpowering excitement to break through these words and into my body never really paid up as much as I expected it to. Unless the aforementioned categories are a turn on for you or you’re just interested in homosexual material, this book is better picked up on the cheap or borrowed because the amount of actual good erotica in it is pretty sparse. I will continue getting my hands on other Best Gay Eroticas and hope that other judges will have a taste that matches my own.
