Find your G-spot! Giveaway

January 13th, 2010 @ Amber St. Clare

Let’s stick it to the man! Then stick it in your vagina. After hearing about the recent “study” about the G-spot (it was actually a survey…not a “study”) and how the G-spot is supposedly a myth (not!). I thought it would be fitting to do a giveaway. The G-spot study recently done in the UK claims that women don’t really have a G-spot, they simply think that they do, so their mind convinces them that they do. Um…yeah right. The first time I found my G-spot, I wasn’t even looking! I had given up looking and wasn’t even trying or expecting to orgasm from G-spot stimulation, but then it happened! Sorry Mr. “Scientists”, but my G-spot is not in my mind, it’s in my vagina. The survey that suggested this to scientists was a survey given to women, and then the hypothesis was tallied about reading the results of said survey. So it’s really not all that surprising, considering most women don’t know where their G-spot is. Female sexuality is so severely shadowed and hushed up today, that it’s hard to believe that it’s actually the 21st century. Women need female sexual education and need to be supported in their search for G-spot pleasure, not shamed or told they are crazy for thinking they have one. So instead of making information about the G-spot available, they dismiss it and make it nothing more than the Lochness Monster of the female anatomy.

So, the amazing people at Lover’s Choice wanted to hook up one of my readers with a toy from their new Ophoria Toys luxury line. We’ll be giving away a Beyond 1 vibrating G-spot toy in the color of your choice(Pink, Purple, or Black).  This new toy is cute, quiet, and easy to use. Made of 100% body-safe premium Japanese silicone, this toy is hypoallergenic and non-porous. It also offers 9 different vibration modes and has a curved head which is perfect for G-spot stimulation. This toy also comes with a 1 year warranty! Hows that for satisfaction guaranteed? This vibe comes with a pretty storage pouch, user manual, and it requires 2 AAA batteries…and don’t sweat it, the batteries come included with the toy! So you can use this bad boy as soon as you rip the package open. With a length of 7.5 inches and 1.5 inches at it’s thickest point, this toy is sure to please any G-spot newbie. This toy retails for $100. Find your G-spot in luxury, ladies.

Editor’s Pick

  • Liberator Axis Hitachi by Carnivalesq
  • Epiphora commented that “the Hitachi takes up like entire vulva,” and therefore wanted to know “if I have to like buttsex to have it work for partner play.” I argue that the Hitachi does not take up the whole vulva, but recognize that I may, in fact, be super human.

    Note: Carnivalesq’s Illustrated Axis Hitachi Positioning Guide is just awesome and you should read it. ‘Nuff said.

LELO Ina…you rascally rabbit! ;)

January 11th, 2010 @ Amber St. Clare

Some of you may have read my Lelo Mona review last month, which was such a fun review to write about the newest toy from Lelo. Lelo’s other newest toy is the Ina, which is a modernized version of the Rabbit Vibrator. I was beyond thrilled to get to try this brand new Lelo item! Ina is very similar to Mona, they lookalike so much in fact that you I’m also most certain that Mona and Ina are fraternal twins. While Mona’s body is sleek and offers one shaft, Ina’s sleek curved body offers dual stimulation. The Lelo Ina is a gorgeous toy. It’s modern design is a new look for the Lelo collection, but it still has the wonderful quality of past Lelo toys. The handle of Ina is made of body safe hard plastic that has the user interface on the top. There are four button controls that are used to changed vibration intensity, and to browse through the vibration patterns. The buttons are easy to press and navigate. These buttons are different than past Lelo toys, in which the button interface was all connected in a round button that could be pressed on either side. I like the navigation buttons on Ina, I only wish they were seamless! At the base of the handle base is a little silicone plug, if you unplug it, you’ll find the input. This is where Ina should be plugged in to charge. Just slide the charger end into Ina and then plug it into a standard electrical outlet. Ina’s buttons will blink as it charges to let you know that the toy is charging properly. Like previous Lelo models, you can also lock your Ina so that it doesn’t start buzzing away in your overnight bag or suitcase while traveling. Simply hold the +/_ buttons at the same time for 3 seconds. To unlock the toy, hold and release the buttons again for an additional 3 seconds. Cleaning Ina is quite simple, and you can clean the silicone body with anti-bacterial soap and water, or use one of your favorite toy cleaner wipes. Just be sure not to get water into Ina’s buttons! Ina is splash-proof but not waterproof. Also, to treat Ina right, be sure to only use water-based lubricants while using this toy. Since Ina’s body is made of a soft supple silicone, using a silicone based lube could compromise the quality of the toy’s silicone body.

The Lelo Ina comes in three colors, Purple, Green, and Orange.  I have the Purple color and it’s so pretty! The purple color is vibrant, and a deep violet that is really gorgeous. The silicone of Ina’s shaft is smooth, soft, and odorless. The tip of Ina’s shaft it curved into a slight upward point, the middle of the shaft is it’s widest point. This part of the shaft is perfect for G-spot stimulation! Yes, all of you G-spot naysayers, contrary to what the doctors and critics may say, the G-spot does exist. Scientists have been saying that the G-spot is more like the power of suggestion, thinking one has one will make one think they found it. Wrong! The first time I ever had a orgasm from G-spot stimulation, I wasn’t trying to even thinking of finding my G-spot. It just happened, and when it happened….oh did it happen well ;) I don’t mean to go off on a tangent, but all of these hypotheses about the G-spot being a myth really discourages me. I don’t want women to disbelieve their bodies, I want them to trust their bodies and their instinct. Ladies, to all of you who have found your G-spot and enjoy the stimulation…thank you for all that you do. Ladies who have not yet found theirs…keep trying and try not to get discouraged by all of this myth jargon. When you FEEL an orgasm produced by the G-spot…you’ll *know* it exists! Enough said. Now back to what I was saying…

Ina’s thicker shaft is wonderful for vaginal stimulation! On top of the larger shaft, there is a smaller shaft that is thinner and has less girth than the larger shaft. This part of Ina is made for clitoral stimulation. When you insert Ina’s main shaft into your vagina, the smaller shaft will rest and snuggle itself against your clitoris for fantastic dual stimulation. I really like the design of the Ina. Lelo’s take on making a modern version of the ever popular rabbit vibe is truly awesome. I found that Ina works really well with the larger shaft working in tandem with the smaller shaft. The smaller shaft is longer too, which means since every woman’s vagina is different, some classic rabbit vibes don’t seem to reach the clitoris properly. I didn’t think this was the case with Ina! The rabbit ear shaft of the Ina rests gently against the clit and massages it orgasmically while the G-spot shaft of Ina works your vagina most wonderfully. The great thing about the Lelo Ina vibrator is that this toy uses two motors, one motor in each stimulation point. Which means your clit, and your vagina, each get their own power supply or vibration. No sharing required ;) Ina’s vibration power goes from a soft hum to a deep resonate purr. It delivers nice power like most Lelo toys, but as someone who can handle a lot of vibration intensity, there is always room for a little more power ;) The vibration patterns work wonderfully also, so you can choose from a fluttering pattern, and other vibration patterns that will tease your naughty bits into ecstasy. I love Ina! She’s sassy, pretty, and best of all, she knows how to get me off. I can’t wait to see what else Lelo has in store for us in the future. I think they’re definitely going in the right direction..

Take flight with the Liberator Wing

January 5th, 2010 @ Amber St. Clare

It’s no secret that I’m a huge fan of the Liberator sex furniture brand. They offer so many high quality products that are an asset for couples and single adults alike. I have their Liberator Escape Wet and the Liberator Fascinator Throe and both products are so much fun to use! So when Liberator asked me if I wanted to review their newest product, the Liberator Wing, I said yes! So what *is* the Wing, you ask? It’s a piece of sex furniture that is meant for straddling. Similar to how a Sybian sex machine is rode, the Wing allows couples to straddle, hover over, and lean up and over the Wing for sex play *and* sex toy play. The Wing is made of a plush yet firm body that is covered in a removable fabric cover. The wing offers two different sides that hold a sex toy erect for mounting, or grinding up against. You can slide a dildo or vibrating toy into the Wing’s surface, as it holds the sex toy firmly, so you can straddle it and ride yourself silly into orgasmic bliss. Or you can slide a vibrator flat into the Wing, and you can grind on top of it for clitoral stimulation. This piece of furniture is so cool! I had a blast trying it out. Before i get to THAT just yet, I want to show you the diagram of how the Wing works. Check it out below. There is also a really sexy product video demo on the Liberator website,it’s a must-see. It really explains the Wing n a way words just do not ;)

While the Wing is a lot of fun alone, it’s also really fun for lovers too! You can straddle the wing, as it holds a vibrator against your pussy, while your lover enters you from behind. This makes for a LOT of really cool sexual positions that are difficult to achieve without a helpful piece of furniture like this. The Wing also comes in a variety of colors such as Red (which I have!), Leopard Print, Purple, Black, Blue, Tiger White, and Tan. When I first got the Liberator Wing I was shocked at how light-weight it is! I love that it’s perfect for carrying, or taking with you as you travel. It’s a nice size at 9 inches high, 24 inches long, and a width of 15 inches. So while this toy is versatile, it’s also discreet and easy to store! This actually fits underneath my bed, which is awesome, because it stays hidden from prying eyes. Though this sex shape is lightweight it holds weight very well, and it’s easy to grasp. The Wing feels fantastic to touch, as it’s soft yet firm, and it fits the body nicely as you lay on it. My digital camera is MIA, so I had to use my cellphone to take photos, but I wanted to take photos to show you the Liberator Wing, still in it’s package, to show it’s dimensions.

I placed the Liberator Wing on my bed, and wasted no time trying this bad boy out! After stripping out of a piece of my favorite lingerie, I took one of my favorite dildos and place it into the slot on the face-up side of the Wing. I found that the dildo fit very nicely and snugly into the Wing, and I didn’t have to worry about the dildo coming loose while in use. I straddled the dildo and slid myself down onto it. Here is where the magic happened…I could ride a dildo hands-free! O. M. G. I was in masturbatory bliss! I could ride up and down on top of the dildo and use my hands to travel over my body, instead of having to hold onto the base of the toy to keep it steady. The Wing did all of the work for me! My hands were free to roam my body and even stimulate my clit. I also pressed my hands down onto the Wing to steady myself as I moved up and down on top of the toy. The Wing stayed in place, it held my weight, and it did an awesome job of giving me exactly what I’ve wanted and needed – hands free fucking! Clean up was very easy too, because you can unzip the fabric cover from the shape and pop it into the washing machine. I had a great hands free orgasm with the Wing, and after about 10 minutes of putting it away, I had the Wing back out for another round of fun!

This time I slide one of my favorite vibrators into the opening on the other part of the Wing, and the fabric nestled the vibrator quite nicely. I then straddled the Wing again, and could grind myself against the vibrator. It made for awesome hands-free clitoral stimulation! I could ride the vibe as hard or as soft as I wanted without having to worry about the toy slipping. Instead it stayed right where I wanted it, nestled right against my clit. The other great thing is that this is awesome for partner sex! It’s so easy to lay on the wing, which is very comfortable and covered in a soft fabric that feels lovely against the skin. You can let your lover fuck you from behind, while the wing holds your favorite vibrator against your clit. This sex shape is awesome on it’s own, but it’s a toy that can be truly amazing when used by a couple. There are so many different positions to try and different ways to adjust yourselves against or upon the Wing. You can also use this as a sex shape, and lay on top of it, so your ass is in the air, and you can have your lover enter you from behind. You can lay on top of the Wing with your legs spread, and let your lover go down on you, as the Wing makes it easy to lift your pussy upward and higher than just laying flat on a bed. I adore the Wing, it is now my favorite piece of sex furniture! It’s not heavy or bulky, it’s versatile, and best of all, it makes trying new positions or hands-free stimulation a real treat rather than a romp full of awkward twists and angles.

Want to take a ride on the Wing? See just how high it makes you soar! You can get your very own Wing sex shape at Liberator.com for $89! This is a must-have item for any one who enjoys getting creative in the bedroom. At $89 you’d really be hard pressed to find a better asset for your bedroom ;) Special thanks to the folks at Liberator for letting me review this product for them!

Now we know the real reason Carrie called him Mr. Big…

January 3rd, 2010 @ Amber St. Clare

Any Sex and the City fans out there? Since Sex and the City movie 2 has released it’s trailer and will be available to see shortly, I wanted to post a review about the Love Honey exclusive Mr. Big rabbit vibrator! Totally cute, this is like a deluxe size version of a modern rabbit vibrator. This rabbit is made of skin safe material and contains no phthalates. Just like Carrie wanted to be all up on Mr. Big, now is your chance…Mr. Big, minus all of that drama that came along with him in the TV show ;) This vibrator offers two speeds, and offers a nice powerful motor that requires 4 AA batteries. The design of this toy is pleasant, it’s a nice clear shaft, with gyrating white pearls inside the base of the body, and it offers a rabbit flicker with extra long ears. The base of the toy where the controls are located is made of a silver hard plastic. The buttons are very easy to press, and this made navigation a snap. While this toy isn’t waterproof, it’s still okay to wash it down with soap and water as long as your careful :)

Okay, all of you size queens, now onto the measurements…this toy has 6.25 inches of insert able length with a 1.5 inch diameter. The entire length of the toy is around 10 inches, but the toy is quite lightweight, so your hand won’t get too tired while holding it ;) You’ll be an eager little bunny when you get your hands on Mr. Big. The contoured head of the toy offers a realistic looking tip that feels divine. The shaft of the toy is firm yet it does have a little give to it. The pearls inside of the shaft of the toy add extra stimulation as the toy vibrates. The head of the toy rotates to offer adequate stimulation to the vagina. I really like the extra long length of the bunny ears on this toy! Some rabbit type toys won’t line up properly with the clit when the toy is inside, because every woman’s anatomy is different. So what is the right length for one, maybe not be for awhile. So this way, the ears should be able to reach any woman’s clit and stimulate it into throws of orgasmic bliss. I also like that this vibrator comes with a little pink nylon storage bag called a “Carrie” bag. Too cute! This toy makes a fun novelty for any SATC fan, or any woman looking to try an affordable and functional rabbit vibrator! If only Carrie would have known she could have had all Mr. big without the drama… ;) Two thumbs up to LoveHoney sex toys, for a job well done!
