ID Pleasure Lubricant is a waterbased that contains Ginkgo Biloba Red Clover, which are natural ingredients that are known to help promote circulation and can cause a natural warm effect. This lube is latex friendly and can be used with condoms, it’s also great with sex toys including silicone, glass, and steel toys. This lube is meant to offer added stimulation and even says “enhanced sensation” right on the logo. This lubricant is non-staining, so it’s okay if it gets on your sheets or bedding. I like the texture of this lube, it’s a liquid lubricant but it isn’t too watery. it glides nicely and has a non-greasy texture. While it’s not a silicone lube, if it starts to dry out during use like most waterbased lubricants, you can add a little saliva or water to re-activate. It’s unscented and unflavored, and it feels very nice on the skin. I used this lubricant for manual stimulation, as well as tried it with a silicone vibrator and it worked very nicely. I didn’t notice an overpowering heat or anything from the red ginger, but it did offer a slightly warm effect, without being tingly or cooling. Nice texture for an affordable lube, and and the flip top lid helps the bottle from spilling, so you can even pop this bottle into your overnight bag! You can get a 5.5 oz bottle of ID Pleasure Lube for $12.95 at FunWares.com!

My legs smell like cupcakes. My bikini area does also. Okay, and maybe my arm pits too. Basically I smell like a silky smooth walking bakery, and I love it. I recently tried the new have cream from Classic Erotica, Crazy Girl Intimate Shave Cream. It’s cupcake scented, and smells like a yummy vanilla frosted baked good. It comes in plastic pump bottle container with a clear plastic cap, the logo is pink and pretty with swirls and hearts. The clear bottle shows the contents inside, which is a soft pink pearly shave cream, that feels similar to a shower gel texture. Thick without being too goopy, and also easy to rub over your body. A little goes a lot way, and the formula is very moisturizing and lubricating. It can be used on the legs, bikini area, even the face (the bottle says so). It’s free of parabens, and sugar (which means it can be used on the bikini area for intimate shaving), and sulfates (so it doesn’t dry out your skin). It also contains jojoba seed oil, panthenol pro-vitamin B5 and hydrolyzed kair keratin, to smooth, protect, and hydrate hair follicles and your skin. The smooth formula helps to promote a nice rash-free shave. I think it accurately smells like a vanilla cupcake, and I really liked the smell a lot. Not too sickeningly sweet or artificial, just a nice softly vanilla and cake batter scented cream. You can get a bottle of Crazy Girl Intimate Shave Cream in Cupcake for $15 at TabuToys.com!

One of my favorite dildo harnesses, is the SpareParts Joque. Spare Parts Hardwear makes gorgeous dildo harnesses that are both comfortable and high quality. They come in a variety of colors, and they come in two sizes that are both adjustable to fit the wearer. I love the beautiful material, the Spare Parts logo on the front, as well as the stretchy O ring that is accommodating to a variety of dildo sizes. One of the best quality harnesses on the market! I already have a Joque, but recently got one in another color, Royal Purple! The feel of the smooth sleek nylon feels very sexy against the skin, and the waistband as well as the adjustable velcro straps are sturdy and easy to adjust. The harness also comes with a matching storage bag. It can be handwashed or machine washed in a lingerie bag, and the breathable panty lining rests against your pubic area with comfort and style. I always feel so sexy when I wear my Joque!

The adjustable straps wraps around the each leg just below your ass cheeks, as the O ring is covered by the nylon material and offers a nice amount of stretch. Simply insert the dildo through the O ring in the back of the harness, and push the shaft through. The base of the dildo will be resting against your body, though the nylon material will cover it while the O ring holds it in place. The harness comes in two sizes: Size A (20-50 inch waist) and Size B (35-65 inch waist) and is both tagless and vegan! You can store the lightweight harness in the storage bag, or even an underwear drawer. The Joque is so comfy, I’ve even fallen asleep in it before. The pretty purple color of the Royal Purple Joque is so gorgeous, I love it. There are sliders on the strap that goes around each leg, the sliders help hold the adjustment in place, basically creating a custom fit to your body. The O ring can accommodate your favorite dildo with a flared base, and even works well with dildos that have a realistic balls base or are curved, it also can hold double dildos.

This harness can be used in the shower or pool also, since it’s waterproof, just allow to air dry or put it on low in the dryer! Fully hygienic, lightweight, comfortable, and really sexy. Ideal for both vaginal strapon play, as well as pegging. If I could only have one strapon harness in my collection, the SpareParts Joque is it! I cannot say enough good things about this harness or the Spare Parts brand. They consistently create beautifully made harnesses that really set the standard for modern dildo harnesses. For more info on the Joque, check out MySpare.com and the Joque is available for purchase from one of my favorite Spare Parts Hardwear retailers Kama Sutra Closet for $100. If you’re going to buy a harness, make it one that will last and one that you’ll actually love wearing!

Big. Huge. Ginormous, Gigantic. Epic. Large. Grande. Enormous. King Kong. Moby Dick. John Holmes. Ah yes, things that widen the eyes and make you do a double-take. I’ll take Things that are super big, for 1000 Alex! Wow. This John Holmes Ur3 Realistic Dildo is seriously the biggest dildo I’ve ever seen up close and personal. It’s length and girth is supposed to be a replica of John Holmes, the pornstar, known for having one of the most talked about cocks in porn history. Now, I knew when first finding this dildo online that my eyes were too big for my pussy, so I knew this wouldn’t be a dildo I would actually use for penetration, but I just had to have it anyway. This dildo measures a whopping 12 inches in length, features a realistic shaft, cock head, and balls. It also has a suction cup on the bottom of the base, so you can attach the dildo to a flat surface such as a bathtub or hard surfaced floor or chair. Its waterproof, and made of UR3 material, which is very soft and pliable but also has a nice amount of firmness to it. It’s meant to feel more lifelike, however it’s an extremely porous material and holds onto bacteria easily, and can’t be 100% sterilized, so thats one drawback of the material. It also has that slightly fruity-plastic scent that most Ur3 material has. It’s the kind of scent that takes all day to wash off of your hands, so I didn’t mind keeping this toy far away from my pussy. I would highly recommend using this toy with a condom, make that a XL condom, while you’re at it. This dildo can be used both vaginally and anally, because of the balls base.

The toy comes with a red Doc Johnson storage pouch, as well as Ur3 dusting powder to help keep the texture of the toy soft and lifelike. I’ll be honest, I’m not a huge fan of UR3 material, but I couldn’t keep my hands off of this cock! I don’t know if it was the size, or the realistic look of the dildo, but I keep stroking the dildo. My hand didn’t even close round the girth! Yes, it’s super big! The dildo measures 12 inches in length with the balls, and has 10 inches of insertable length after the balls. It’s a hefty dildo and weighs around 2.5 pounds! At it’s thickest point the girth is 2.5 in diameter. Like I said, HUGE. This dildo is definitely for the size queens (or kings) that like big dick or are curious about taking on a cock this size! To clean the toy, use anti-bacterial soap and water. Dry with a lint-free towel, since the UR3 material picks up lint and hair easily. Then dust with the included powder to help keep the texture of the dildo feeling soft. As I said before, the material is porous, so I would definitely recommend using a condom with this toy, especially if you’re going to use this toy both vaginally and anally. This isn’t the type of toy to share with someone else, or use from anus to vagina, because of the toy’s material. I also recommend only using water-based lube with this dildo, as silicone or oil lubricants can damage the UR3 material.

The dildo has detailed veining on the surface, a pink cock head, beige shaft. The detailed cock head offers a nice shape, along with the textured balls. The dildo is quite big next to an average sized dildo. In the above photo, you can see the John Holmes UR3 Realistic Suction Cup Dildo next to a 6 inch realistic silicone dildo. The John Holmes dildo offers serious thickness paired with length. The dildo is pretty heavy, so when the toy is standing straight up and attached to a flat surface, the shaft does bend a little bit. You could attach this dildo to a chair for riding, the floor, even a table, or shower floor. The balls also offer a grasping area if you plan on thrusting with this dildo. One has to be pretty brave to slide this bad boy in their pussy or ass! I wasn’t up for the challenge, however, still found myself playing with the dildo a lot. The downside is the smell of the UR3 material, and the porous material. I prefer using more hygienic materials, not to mention the size wasn’t a job my pussy or ass was up for! This toy is made by Doc Johnson, I don’t review their items very often because I don’t feel very confident about their toy materials.  However, I did think this toy was cool just for the length and texture alone, and I wanted this toy for the novelty effect rather than to actually use it myself.

You can see the up close texture of the dildo head, in the above photo. For those who like big cock, but don’t want to use this toy, this makes a fun and cheeky gift idea as well as a novelty piece. I’m thinking of using it as a paper weight Maybe a game of naughty ring toss? Attach it to a wall for an art piece? You can find the John Holmes UR3 Realistic Dildo for $59.95 at FunWares.com!

There are quite a few male masturbators on the market, from high end to low end, and everything in between. The one thing most of those male masturbators have in common is that they work the entire shaft of the penis. One of the most sensitive parts of the penis, is the head. So hence, the Fun Factory Cobra Libre. The thing that makes this masturbator so cool is the modern design, and the fact that not only is it rechargeable, but it’s meant to work the head of the cock, rather than the entire shaft from tip to base. It’s made of body-safe silicone material that is smooth and sleek to the touch, it’s waterproof, and it uses the neat Fun Factory click and charge feature meaning the toy doesn’t need to be plugged in directly, and charges magnetically. Making the toy okay for shower use, and making it quite easy to clean as well with a thorough wash with anti-bacterial soap and water, or your favorite sex toy cleanser. The silicone material works well with any water-based lubricant that you like best, and the high quality material can last a long time versus Cyberskin materials or plastic surfaces. Silicone isn’t porous, so it’s also easier to sanitize and doesn’t hold onto bacteria such as some toy materials like rubber. The toy comes with a user manual, sample of Fun Factory’s Toyfluid lubricant, and a charger. The toy itself looks very modern, and for the most part it’s pretty discreet. It almost looks like a tech gadget.

Fun Factory Cobra Libre Masturbator measures about 6 inches in length, though it’s not quite as deep, and mostly covers the head of the cock. This masturbator isn’t a sleeve, and it isn’t meant for stroking or thrusting, it’s basically a vibrator for your the glans of your penis head. Kinda cool, huh? Most vibes are directed toward female masturbation, while most male toys for the penis are meant for penetration. Instead, the Cobra Libre focuses on vibration and the sensitivity of the head of the cock. You can lube up your cock, and apply some inside of the toy’s “mouth”, you then can turn the toy on and allow it to vibrate while you sit back and enjoy the feelings. Since it offers hands-free stimulation, and it also doesn’t cover the entire area of your rod, you can use a hand to stroke your shaft if you want to add to the stimulation. This you can also use this with a partner! Let the toy stimulate your cock while you perform oral sex on your partner, or let the toy stimulate your cock head while your partner can touch/lick your shaft. The toy offers a variety of vibration speeds and settings, and isn’t too noisy, so you should be able to use this with the door closed without being heard. The toy has an power button, as well as an Up and Down button. The buttons are easy to press, and you can browse trough the speed settings by pressing Up/Down. There are two motors in toy that are meant to offer direct stimulation of the penis head.

The vibrations range from a constant vibration, to a pulsating vibe. The vibration ranges from low to a nice moderate-high. I really like the attention to the cock head feature, this is like a toy that directly is meant for the head, to focus stimulation on the sensitive area that may get overlooked when using stroker style sleeves. I thought it was a really fun and unique take on a male sex toy! I don’t have a cock myself, but I love to learn new things, so I had so much fun trying various dildos in the toy, as well as testing it with my fingers. I think this would make a fun addition to men who are looking for a different kind of masturbator, or one who enjoys vibration along with masturbating while stroke using a hand. You could easily rest this toy against your balls while stroking your cock as well! You can find the Fun Factory Cobra Libre at Kama Sutra Closet for $130! Want to save 15% off your order?

Having been so impressed with my first pair of Bristols 6 panties and pasties, I wanted to jump right in and try out another product from their line. This is from their Nippies Intimates line, the packaging is simple and doesn’t have a lost of waste. The Bristols 6 Nippies Intimates in Purple Mesh with Black Bow come in a matching sheer mesh drawstring pouch, along with the Bristols 6 Nipples tag, and the X shapes pasties! The panties are made of sheer purple mesh, they are thong panties, with a ruffled hem, keyhole in the back, and a cute black bow on the front and back. Cute! They come with matching black X shaped pasties that adhere to your breasts and are meant to cover the areola/nipples. The Nippies Intimates line is a little lower in price than their Nippies Gold line, but it’s really sexy and fun as well! The thong offers a nice stretch, and the added bow adds just a nice little soft touch, while the keyhole at the back offers a fun little flirty peek at your booty. The pasties fit nicely over the areola, though it you have larger areola it might not cover the entire area, that is my only complaint with pasties, most of them are quite small though as we know with breasts and nipples, no size does not fit all! I found these pasties to be super comfortable though, and fun to wear. These would be sexy to wear in the bedroom, a costume party, or even Burning Man in thesummer!

I like the eco-friendly packaging! Simply throw away the tag. The mesh bag can be re-used to storage a pair of panties, or even condoms or other small trinkets. The black sleeve that holds the pasties can be re-used as a storage area for your pasties so you don’t lose them or misplace one. So the less-is-more is quite fitting here and really cool to see from a lingerie and sexy accessories brand. I definitely want to try out more of these little sets in the future! You can get this super affordable little lingerie gift for $20 at Kama Sutra Closet!

“New Year, New Vibrator! Win 1 of 5 We Vibe Salsa vibes from @scarletsletter & @ONSstore http://www.scarlets-letter.net/?p=1786″

My first Toyfriend of the New Year! Toyfriends are adorable battery powered vibrators that are both waterproof and feature fun shapes and bright colors. I recently tried the Toyfriend Wavy, which is a non phallic vibe that can be used both vaginally and clitorally. This toy measures about 6 inches in length, with 5 inches or so being insertable. The body of the toy is a smooth soft matte silicone finish, and the toy features a slightly curved tip and wavy shape undulating over the shaft of the toy. The base of the toy features a twist off endcap where you insert/remove the batteries, and the toy is powered by just a click of the finger, a seamless power button on the base of the endcap. The toy comes with it’s own plastic stand, so you can display the toy on your dresser if you’d like, and the toy comes with batteries (2 AAA batteries) so you can use the toy right away! This is one of the more classic vibes from the Toyfriend line, coming in a simple and sleek black color, and offering a wavy shaft.

In the photo above, I placed the Toyfriend Wavy (left) along side the Toyfriend Shorty, so you can see the size comparison. Both are in black matte, and show the Tickler logo on the shaft, along with the endcap. Wavy is longer and bigger than the Shorty, and it offers nice vibration along with a smooth surface. The toy can be used in the bathtub or shower, since it’s waterproof. It’s easy to clean, with anti-bacterial soap and water, or your favorite toy cleanser. It works best with water-based lubricant. This Toyfriend is pretty quiet, and while I’m not blown away by the vibration intensity, it’s a nice little vibrator for the price! Quality silicone material, paired with the fun shape, and the easy of navigation with the simple push of a button. Toyfriends make fun little gifts for friends and are also nice ideas for a first vibrator since they aren’t too large or intimidating for the beginner. You can get the Toyfriend Wavy vibrator for $31.95 at FunWares.com!

I love all things leopard print, so when I saw this super cute pasties and panties set from Bristols 6, I wanted to strut my stuff in it. The Bristols 6 Nippies Gold Set in Leopard Rose comes with a pair of heart shaped nipple tassels (pasties with a tassel!) covered in sequins and adorned with a little red tassel on each. It comes with a matching pair of red mesh and leopard print panties. The low-cut panties feature a cute little cutout along the front of the waistband and then features a v-shaped cutout along the bottom, with a ruched bottom which adds definition and gives you booty a fuller look. I thought the product photo was adorable, but when I saw the product up close and personal, I was definitely impressed! This was my first product from Bristols 6, and now I can’t wait to try more!

The pasties/panties gift set comes in a really pretty, thick, and sturdy pull-out box. The box is really nice! Not flimsy or cheap feeling, it’s so nice that you can re-use it to store the pasties or even use it for other things, like a tampon box, or a condom container. It features a very pretty design and is quite discreet. Once you put the ribbon tab on the side, the lower part of the box pulls out to showcase the panties and pasties.

The panties are pretty! They come in a sheer mesh material, and have nice stretch to them, the cute little cut out caged back is pretty and offers a nice shape to your ass, highly recommended for those like me, who don’t have a big caboose but want to accentuate their butt. These panties give my booty a nice little boost and totally makes my booty look fuller than it really is, while showing offer a little butt cleavage above the ruched bottom. The front of the panties are super sexy as well, and the red along with the leopard print is really flirty and fun.

The crotch of the panties are lined in a soft cotton material, and the pasties are really fun. They are large enough to cover larger areola which I like, because I’ve found that some pasties only cover a quarter size, so for chicas with larger than dime sized to quarter size nips, it can be frustrating. So I like the size of these, and the pasties are easy to use and apply to the nipple, and are just as easy to remove. The tassels add a fun burlesque flair, which I adore.

I’m really impressed with the Bristols 6 line! I’m a huge lingerie snob, and don’t wear “cheap” lingerie. Most of my lingerie is upwards in the $100 range, so I wasn’t expecting too much from this gift set in the way of me loving it so much, but I do, I adore this gift set! The panties are pretty, the tassels are fun and don’t look flimsy, and the gorgeous packaging really won me over! I would definitely be interested in seeing more of the Bristols 6 line of pasties and panties, and I highly recommend this cute set as a gift for yourself or the special lady in your life who deserves a sexy surprise!

You can get the Bristols 6 Nippies Gold Set Leopard Rose for $36 at KamaSutraCloset.com

Wishing you all much love, success, and good health in 2012.
