LELO Insignia Alia review

June 29th, 2011 @ Amber St. Clare

As a huge LELO fan, I was thrilled when they released the waterproof (yay!) collection of luxury vibrators called Insignia. Having already featured the Soraya and Isla, I finally wanted to share my experience with the Lelo Insignia Alia. Alia is the cute little clit vibe from the collection, and it’s stylish design and functionality makes it a fantastic little toy. It comes packaged in the signature little black Lelo gift box, it comes with the Lelo 1 year limited warranty, a black satin drawstring storage bag, toy charger and a cute little silver Insignia brooch. Alia is sleek and oval like a naughty little egg, and it comes in either a pink, rose, or black color. I got the black color and it’s really nice and luxurious looking. The entire toy is made of body safe ABS plastic (the silver inner handle) and quality silicone. The silicone is very soft and smooth and feels fantastic on the skin. Alia fits in the palm of your hand, it’s almost like a lipstick vibe redux, it’s shaped nothing but lipstick but it’s small, fits in a purse, great for clitoral stimulation, and it’s super discreet. I could leave the Lelo Alia on my dresser and someone would probably think it was a fashion accessory or something. The Alia doesn’t feature a button interface like previous LELO toys, instead the “buttons” are seamless and placed on the top of the Alia in a +/- encased in the Lelo Insignia logo which looks like a funky little triple figure 8. You can turn the toy on or off, browse through the different vibration patterns and vibration speeds all at the press of a finger. It’s pretty easy to switch the vibration modes even with slippery fingers, the silicone is easy to press and the buttons aren’t stiff or too firm but not soft enough that you’ll press them on accident. Alia itself is not 100% seamless though. It features a tiny little pin-sized hole in the bottom of the toy. At first sight I thought it was a flaw, since it’s a open hole unlike the charging ports in the Soraya or Isla. Alia is waterproof, not just splashproof, but actually waterproof so I found myself wondering why there was a open hole at the charging source. I plugged the charger into the port, and plugged the other end into the wall outlet and let it charge. Once it was done, and I reviewed the toy and the time came to wash Alia I was worried that water would still get into the charging port – it didn’t! Totally awesome. The open hole will take the charging import plug, but even if you put the toy under water, the water won’t enter the hole. I think it’s the way that the silicone dips down slightly at the hole, somehow it creates an air-like seal.

A few hours charge will keep this bad boy ready and fully juiced for hours of use. Since it’s waterproof it can be taken in the shower or bathtub also. It’s also easier to clean than previous LELO toys since it’s waterproof. You can hold it under the faucet and wash with anti-bacterial soap and water, toy cleaner, or a toy wipe. Since the Alia isn’t 100% silicone, I wouldn’t really recommend boiling or putting it in the dishwasher. The silicone isn’t seamless around the inner silver ABS plastic handle of the toy either, so be sure to clean the seam. It’s okay if water gets on the seam. This may be the only drawback to Alia, it would have been great had it been 100% silicone making it able to be fully sterilized and 100% seamless. The core of the toy is ABS plastic while the silicone surrounds it. The toy features 6 different modes ranging from a soft vibration to a high mode. I am a big fan of Lelo’s motors in their toys, to me, they create nice vibrations that resonate deeply rather than just being pitchy vibrations. The vibrations, even at it’s highest setting isn’t super powerful, but it’s definitely a nice amount of power. The vibration modes go from a slow rumble to a more musical rhythmic beat. The vibrations are pretty quiet, like with most Lelo toys. Quiet enough not to be heard through a door, which is great if you have roommates or want to take Alia when you travel. Speaking of, the TSA just gave the OK on sex toys! Vibrators can be taken along in your luggage, and Alia makes it easy with it’s size and discreet design. The toy can also be locked by pressing and holding the +/- buttons for 3 seconds, it can be unlocked the same way. Makes it great for travel or taking the Alia in your handbag, not having to worry about it accidentally turning itself on in your purse!

Alia can be grasped with your finger through the hole, which makes it pretty comfortable to hold, it also makes it great for aiming directly at the clit. You can massage the head of Alia which is slightly rounded to an oval point all over your body including your neck, breasts, nipples, stomach, and entire vulva. It can also be massaged against a man’s shaft, balls and perineum. Making this also a fun couples toy. The toy is small enough that it will fit between two bodies as well, and can be held against the clit while you engage in partner sex. The tip of Alia can nestle between the inner labia quiet nicely and tease your clit that way while the edges of the toy vibrate against your vulva. I think Alia is super cute and it’s definitely a luxury toy, it’s well made, and the fact that it’s rechargeable and waterproof makes it a great toy that you can feel confident about using without having to fumble around for batteries or worry about getting water into the battery compartment. I grab Alia a lot for impromptu masturbation sessions, it fits right in my bedside table drawer and because it’s so easy to clean and I can keep it charged in my drawer, I grab it often for last minute before bed self-love romps ;) The soft silicone make this toy feel great, and it works well with water-based lubes, so be sure to steer clear of silicone lubes when using Alia. I like using Alia on it’s highest vibration setting, and since it’s not overly powerful like some vibrators, it’s great for those with sensitive clits or those who like being able to choose from a variety of vibration settings and speeds without only having to choose between low or high. While Alia isn’t my favorite LELO toy, it’s definitely a great vibe and I’m glad to have it in my collection!

Fleshjack Jack Ass Endurance Unit

June 28th, 2011 @ Amber St. Clare

 

See that cute booty up there? I totally smacked it a few times prior to reviewing this toy. I think I was having a little too much fun…but I digress. Check out the super cool Fleshjack Jack Ass Endurance Unit, which is the gay male version of the Fleshlight Stamina Training Unit. I like that Fleshlight caters to boys who likes boys (who likes toys??) in addition to their usual Fleshlight line of toys. As you can see, this Fleshjack comes with a cute miniature ass orifice that is molded and shaped out of super soft SuperSkin material so that it’s squishy, bouncy, stretchy, and soft. Like the usual Fleshlight product, this toy comes in a canister with a sample packet of lubricant so you can get down to business right away. It comes with a gray colored Fleshlight case as well. The SuperSkin is pliable and is meant to simulate the feel of real skin, it’s also easy to clean and it’s durable as well. It will pick up lint however, so keep that in mind when cleaning the toy (lint-free towels or rags would be best) or storing it. To clean the sleeve simply remove it from the Fleshlight case, flip it inside out, run it under hot water, and voila! Clean, albeit a bit wet. So it needs to air dry completely before it can be inserted back into the Fleshlight case. It plays well with all sorts of lubricants also, so you can use a silicone or water-based or hybrid lube if you so choose.

The opening of the ass orifice is small yet very stretchy, so when you insert your penis (or a dildo and finger in the case of me reviewing this toy) it will stretch and grab onto the object. So this sleeve will fit a variety of penis girths and lengths (up to probably about 10 inches…I know, dare to dream, right?) and the sleeve rests nicely and securely into the case. the case is easy to hold in a variety of positions so you can use this masturbator laying down, sitting up, in the shower, while watching porn, or wherever else you’d like. The orifice opening is snug, and after lubing up a finger I inserted it and gave the Fleshjack booty a nice little finger action. The opening stayed tight around my finger and stretched and expanded and suctioned to it as I pushed my finger in and out of the sleeve. It also did this when I inserted a glass dildo into the sleeve. It grasped the dildo nicely and felt and looked like a snug fit. This sleeve is similar to the original Fleshjack Jack Ass sleeve, except this is the Endurance Unit, which means it’s ultra ribbed for added stimulation. They say that if you can last 10 minutes with this sleeve then you can last 20 in bed with a partner. If this is true I’d be hoping my man could last at least an hour in this thing! ;) The inner part of the sleeve is textured to look like a long series of nubs that will move all around over and on top of your dick as you move in and out of this sleeve. The nubs were very stimulating on my finger, so I would imagine on a cock it would be even nicer. I highly recommend soaking the sleeve in warm water for 10 minutes prior to use, this warms the SuperSkin material and makes it even nicer feeling!

So, since I have a vagina and not a penis (I sure love em’ though!) I wanted to find a male friend who would give this masturbator a go and let me know what he thought. I’m short on gay males so I had to ask a straight friend to give me his opinion. My friend said had he not seen the packaging he might not have known this was a toy for gay males, and he said he was man enough to try it out regardless of the toy’s targeted audience. This was his first Fleshlight, though not his first masturbation sleeve experience, he confessed to trying some other “cheap” sleeves that were made of rubbery jelly (gasp!) materials. I gave him the weekend to try the toy and then asked him for some feedback. He mentioned that the Fleshlight Jack Ass Endurance Kit definitely made him want to try other Fleshlight toys, and that he didn’t know what he was missing when he chose cheaper masturbation sleeves in the past. He said that the SuperSkin felt great on his dick, and that he enjoyed using it with a lot of lubricant which created a nice slightly suctioned feeling on his penis. He also mentioned that at first the nubs were a bit overstimulating at first but as time went on he got used to it and could really just relax and enjoy the feelings. He said that the nubs were insanely stimulating for a sex toy, and while it wasn’t as good as sex, it definitely up the competition of his usual hand masturbatory skills. I didn’t ask him how long he lasted with the sleeve (a man’s gotta have *some* privacy!), but he did mention that he had used it over the course of the weekend and that with each time he began to last longer and longer. He also said that he found that silicone lube worked great with the sleeve and made sure that the lube didn’t dry up while he was using the toy. He said that clean up was easy and that he had followed the directions and smacked the booty (okay *he* didn’t say it like that, but I did :P ) orifice with some powder like the Fleshlight website suggests to keep the SuperSkin material feeling soft after each use. He said even his girlfriend thought this sleeve was cool, and she couldn’t keep her hands off of the ass orifice (what is it with chicks and Fleshjack asses?!) either!

You can try the Fleshjack Jack Ass Endurance Unit at FunWares.com for $57.95! That’s an awesome price and way below retail value! Fun Wares offers fast shipping and it’s discreet too, each order comes in a plain brown box without any labels hinting as to what the contents inside are. So shop with confidence!

 

Review: Jimmyjane Usual Suspects Iconic Rabbit

June 27th, 2011 @ Amber St. Clare

With so many rabbit vibes on the market, it’s no wonder that it’s one of the most popular sex toys. It’s dual stimulation seems like a no-brainer. With so many rabbits to choose from though, how do you know which one is best? Well, thats the hard part. With most toys, including rabbits, it’s sort of a hit or miss. Some rabbits aren’t strong enough, some rabbits are made of icky jelly material, some rabbits bunny ears just don’t fit a woman’s anatomy, etc. Since I was already a fan of Jimmyjane toys, I thought it only made sense to finally try their version of the rabbit vibe…the Jimmyjane Iconic Rabbit. The rabbit is sleek, stylish, modern, pure white, and luxurious. Like every toy Jimmyjane makes, they seem to strive for excellence when it comes to design and performance. The Iconic Rabbit comes from the Usual Suspects collection, and it’s made of Body-Safe and Phthalate-Free elastomer and measures in at 9.5 inches with an actual insertable lenght of about 5 inches, with a one year limited warranty and takes 3 AA batteries (which are included). The batteries are inserted into the base/handle of the vibe, and the base features the Iconic Rabbit name. The base opens very easily for battery insertion/removal. The handle is made of hard plastic and is pretty easy to hold and grasp. This rabbit works best with water-based lube, and it can be cleaned with your favorite sex toy cleanser or choice or a sex toy wipe, just wipe it down to dry it with a lint-free cloth or towel. The elastomer is soft and pliable but also offers a firm feeling when inserted. The bunny ears sit at the base of the shaft, so that when the shaft is inserted the bunny ears should rest against your clit. The tip of the shaft features a prominent realistic looking head, with small bumps beneath the head for added stimulation. The shaft then gets a little thicker, and then slims back down near the base of the bunny years. The control at the base of the toy is pretty easy to navigate and you simply push upward or down to change the vibration setting.

Inside the shaft of the toy, the pat you can’t see, are beads that rotate causing a stimulating feeling in the shaft, so that you feel simulation in both the shaft of the toy plus vibration in the bunny ears. As the toy vibrates the bunny ears move and flick against your clit. The lightweight body of the toy makes it easy to hold onto, but I found that angling can be difficult just like with most other rabbit vibes, because not every woman’s clitoris is located at the same spot on the vulva. The power is pretty good, going from a low setting to a steady high, though it can be a bit loud at it’s loudest setting. If you turn both settings up to high, the vibration and rotating beads inside of the shaft give the toy a really awesome feeling as you move the toy inside of you. Rabbit vibes are generally not my favorite toys, but this rabbit was pretty cool! I liked the feeling of the elastomer, and I like the design, as well as the added stimulation of the rotating beads. While the bunny ears didn’t fit against my clit exactly without a little maneuvering, it was still pretty good when positioned there with my hand. This would be a fun toy to use with a partner, so you could just lay back and let your partner hold the toy for you. I should also mention that this toy is not waterproof, so use caution when cleaning the toy, and this also means no using this toy in the shower or tub. The white color of the toy…a play on the white rabbit from Alice in Wonderland maybe? One that slides down the, er, rabbit hole..? It’s definitely a unique color for a rabbit sex toy, but I find it fitting to the Jimmyjane line of sex toys.

SpareParts La Palma review

June 24th, 2011 @ Amber St. Clare

I love how innovative SpareParts HardWear is with their sex products. I’m already a fan of their dildo harnesses, so when I heard that they came out with a palm harness I knew I had to check it out. SpareParts La Palma is a handheld harness that attaches directly to your palm so that you can secure a dildo to your hand without having to hold the dildo itself – genius much? I loved the idea behind La Palma, and when SpareParts so nicely decided to send me my very own La Palma harness to try out I was super excited. The harness comes in three different sizes and is meant to fit both males and females, so you can choose from XS/X, M/L, or XL. You can also choose which hand you want the harness to fit on, so for example you can order a M/L Right, or a XL Left, etc. The harness is made of nylon and neoprene and it has a brass snap closure. The harness is adjustable and can be fitted and tightened to fit your own palm. The harness is very lightweight and it feels very much like a quality product, you can see that it was manufactured well with quality materials, it’s slightly stretchy and sturdy. It features a snap closure at the wrist, finger holes, and a dildo opening where you can insert and secure your favorite dildo. The stretchable O ring will fit just about any dildo, big or small. it also features a pocket that is perfect for inserting a vibrating bullet, in fact you get two waterproof bullet vibes with the harness as well as foam pads and grips to make sure your dildo stays firmly in place while in use. Here are photos of the La Palma below. It comes in a zip up black case, which unzips and opens up, one side of the flap holds the vibrating bullets and foam grips, the other side holds the harness.

The harness has the SpareParts logo on one side, and the O ring part of the harness fits on top face-up on your palm. Inserting a dildo is really easy, and all it takes is inserting the dildo into the O ring, and then closing the snaps to secure the harness. I tried quite a few dildos in the La Palma and the harness fit each of the toys very nicely. You can use this harness with just about any toy, as long as it has a bit of a flared base to fit snugly and securely with the O ring. It works great with silicone dildos and it can be used with ceramic and glass dildos also. The nylon material is easy to clean and wipe down with a wet rag if you get bodily fluids or lube on it. You can also wash it by hand with a mild soap and water and allow it to air dry. Once the dildo is secured to the harness and your palm, it makes it easy to masturbate by just moving your hand without having to hold onto the dildo. It also great for partner use! You could let your lover strap it onto their hand and fuck you with a dildo while they give you oral sex, or you could fuck yourself with a dildo attached to the SpareParts La Palma Harness, while you give your partner oral sex. It can even be used for double penetration of a toy and your partner/partner’s toy. There are definitely a lot of fun ways to use this toy. You can use it to fuck your pussy with a dildo, while your partner’s penis/toy enters your ass. Men can use this product and love it too! You could use this on your man and stimulate his ass with a dildo while you give him oral sex or manual sex. Two men can use the harness also to stimulate the ass with a dildo, while having his mouth and other hand free for other stimulation. This is a really fun solo toy, but it also is so great and ideal for partner sex. When using this harness to masturbate with, my fingers didn’t cramp on while holding onto my dildo and thrusting, because with the La Palma…I didn’t have to hold the toy. It was much easier to just relax and masturbate by just having to move my wrist, and when the dildo was wet I didn’t have to worry about it getting slippery and slipping out of my hand. This harness is awesome!

Tantus Little Secret Spoon & Kiss Review

June 23rd, 2011 @ Amber St. Clare

 

How cute are the new line of Tantus toys? Tantus Little Secrets are fun bullet vibes that come with a colorful silicone sleeve. Each vibe can be used for clitoral stimulation or shallow vaginal penetration. I love the bright candy coated colors. Each sleeve offers a unique shape so you can choose exactly the type of style and pin-point stimulation sleeve that interests you. Each sleeve comes in it’s own color, and the one speed bullet can be used alone or with the Tantus sleeve. The sleeve is easy to remove and put back on. I recently tried the Tantus Little Secret Spoon and the Tantus Little Secret Kiss. You can see a photo of both vibes side by side below.

Spoon is bright orange and comes with a flat wide tip that is great for stimulating nipples, the inner and outer labia, as well as the clit and vagina, The curved tip offers a flat head which can be used for G-spot stimulation. The flat head is similar in style to Lelo’s Gigi. The orange sleeve is made of soft pliable 100% platinum silicone, like Tantus’s other toys, so the material is body safe and makes me feel good while using it. These toys can be used with water-based lubricant, and the sleeves can be washed with anti-bacterial soap and water, or they can be boiled to be fully sterilized, they’re also dishwasher safe if you’re someone who liked to wash your silicone in the dishwasher. The sleeve firmly hugs the silver bullet vibe that comes along with the toy, but the sleeve can be pulled upward and peeled off of the toy for cleaning or for using the bullet sans sleeve. The bullet is a simple silver bullet vibe that features a one button control on the base of the bullet, the button is purple and pretty easy to use. Press and hold the button down for a moment and the bullet begins to vibrate at a medium buzz. The vibrations from the silver bullet travel through the silicone sleeve nicely, however the power is about a medium speed when it comes to bullet vibes, so not too powerful but not super weak either. It definitely gets the job done, and since it’s so discreet it makes it great for storing in your purse for impromptu masturbatory sessions.

Kiss is a bright pink color sleeve that has a slightly thicker shaft than the Spoon and it tapers down to a much thinner tip that can be used for clitoral stimulation. As the Kiss vibrates the tip of the toy flicks gently almost like a little flick of the fingertip or tongue. This tip is also great to use on your nipples. This sleeve can be used internally also, however I found that with the tip, it works great as a pin-point clit vibe. The sleeve is stretchy and slightly flexible and it would probably fit other slim bullet vibes of the same design if you have a favorite bullet vibe you’d rather use the sleeve with. I should mention that since there aren’t any flared bases or any retrieval strings these toys aren’t recommended for anal use. These little vibes don’t pack a super strong punch, but they are very quiet, and I really like how discreet they are. They fit in my bedside table nicely too, so I can just grab and go and clean up is a snap if you use anti-bacterial toy cleaner spray or wipes. Which is good for if you feel like a late night self-love session but don’t feel like having to get out of bed ;) These also work great with a partner, you can use the Spoon on a man’s penis, glans, and balls while giving him fellatio or manual sex. Also, these vibes are tiny so they are pretty easy to hold, so you could use them in a variety of sex positions. You could use the Kiss against your clit while you ride your partner, or hold it against your clit while your partner enters you from behind. It’s great for those who like vaginal sex or anal sex with a partner but crave some of that clit stimulation also.

You can find the Tantus Little Secret Kiss and the Tantus Little Secret Spoon for $22.95 at Fun Wares!

Review: Uberlube Silicone Lubricant

June 23rd, 2011 @ Amber St. Clare

 

I use a lot of silicone toys, so it’s not often that I use my silicone based lubricants. However I recently got a brand spanking new bottle of this great new lube called Uberlube, it’s been hailed as one of the new great silicone lubes on the market and is even recommended by the Berman Center as well as Dr Oz. This silicone lubricant comes in a really cute glass bottle with a pump cap. I like the clear bottle and simple packaging, it’s sleek and looks luxe. I also like that you can see how much product is left in the bottle as time goes on and you use it. The pump cap is easy to use, one simple pump and you get a good sized squirt of lube. Silicone lube has a tendency to last longer, have a silky smooth texture, and it goes a long way. So one small pump of Uberlube is all you’ll need during masturbation. This silicone lube is clear, satiny when rubbed between the fingers, and it feels light and very soft on the genitals. It’s great for manual sex, anal sex, and intercourse too. The formula feels very moisturizing when I apply it, and even after a long session of masturbation I find that it hasn’t dried out like some other lubes can tend to do. I love the natural feeling of this lube, it’s not watery but not gel like either, it ha a very pleasant texture, and it doesn’t have a prominent smell or taste either. I used this lubricant on one of my glass dildos, and on one of my aluminum dildos and I found that the lubricant was long lasting, made penetration feel really comfortable and smooth, and it was awesome for anal play! A drop of this one of my favorite glass butt plugs was awesome, it made insertion easy and made removal just as nice. I really like this lube! This is going to be my go-to silicone lubricant for steel and glass toys in the future. A bottle of this lubricant should last you a long time, and it even comes in a Uberlube 50ml size and a bigger Uberlube 100ml size. A bottle of 50ml will cost you $16 and it’s $28 for 100ml, with the feel of the formula and the staying power, this lube is totally worth the price!

Sexercise Ball SexerciseMe Value Pack

June 23rd, 2011 @ Amber St. Clare

What is this sex toy and why does it look like workout equipment? Don’t worry, it’s the kind of workout you’ll enjoy sweating to! Check out the super cool Sexercise Me Value Pack. It’s basically an exercise ball that you can attach Sexercise Me sex toys to! The round purple sexercise ball is pumped full of air with an awesome foot pump that it includes, it’s like a naughty beach ball ;) Lightweight, easy to fill up, and pretty fun looking. The top of the ball features an attachment gauge. This is where you can attach different Sexercise Me toys. This great Value Pack comes with the ball, a realistic dildo attachment, a bunny vibe attachment, a rabbit vibrator attachment, and a butt pug attachment. It also comes with a wireless remote control to control the vibrations of the toy attachments, and a bottle of lubricant.

Once the ball is filled with air, you simply take an attachment of choice and connect it to the ball. Each attachment is easy to use, and simply screws into the ball. Turn the toy to secure the screw into the sexercise ball. Once the attachment is connected, you can lube the toy up, take a seat and turn the toy on using the included toy remote. The remote also means that this toy is couples friendly. You could let your lover hold the remote and watch you use the ball. The ball in bouncy and works like an exercise ball you might be able to find on the market, however the attachment valve is what makes this ball shine. The attachments include:

The Precious Realistic vibrator can be used vaginally or anally, you can even use it without the sexercise ball if you hold onto the purple screw base. It’s made of firm material and features a cock shape including veined detail and a prominent head, it works great with any sort of water-based lubricant and it works for those who love the feel of phallic dildos. It features 6 inches of insertable length and measures in at 1.5 inches around. Men can use this attachment anally too. The Mika Butt Plug attachment is for anal use on women or men, and features a tapered plug that offers anal stimulation. Like the Realistic attachment, this plug offers 6 vibration modes from a light vibration to a stronger pulse. The Buzz Bunny attachment is a clitoral attachment that works like bunny ears on a rabbit vibe and flicks against the clit, and the Rabbit Vibrator attachment is 6 inches in length by 1.45 inches around. It features a phallic shape with a rounded cock head tip that can be used for G-spot stimulation. Each of the attachments features 6 vibration modes and settings that can easily be controlled with the included wireless remote control.

The ball itself is similar to sexual position aids since it can be used to bend over, or prop yourself up on, it can be sat on, leaned against, or straddled. The ball is pretty comfortable, and measures 65 cm around. It’s really fun to use! It’s a great way to enjoy hands-free stimulation and it’s fun to bounce on, and only takes a little bit of balance and some pressure from your feet as you move up and down. You could also use this Sexercise Ball as you ride it and give your partner oral sex. You can bend over the ball and position yourself for anal or doggystyle sex, and it’s a fun way to penetrate yourself while hands hands-free to stimulate your clit or play with your tits. You can even watch movies or porn this way ;) The Sexercise Me Value Pack is definitely a unique take on enjoying sex toys, with all thats included it retails for $200, but you can get it for $125 at TabuToys.com

Sex Toy Favorite: Jimmyjane Form 2 review

June 21st, 2011 @ Amber St. Clare

This powerful pink device in which you see before your eyes is one of my favorite sex toys. I first fell in love with this toy when it was released, but it’s taken me until now to share my review of the toy. I’ve recommended this toy to countless friends, family, and readers. What toy is it? The incomparable Jimmyjane Form 2! Of all of my Jimmyjane sex toys, this one takes the cake. Maybe even the whole bakery. Every. Single. Red. Velvet. Cupcake. I adore the Form 2, and I’ll tell you why. Before I do though, let me tell you more about the product. It’s made of soft supple silicone that is so smooth and sleek to the touch, it’s fully waterproof and submersible which means it’s great for bathtub or pool fun! It’s rechargeable, it’s cute, the design is innovative and modern, and it’s super powerful. It’s the love child of Ethan Imboden and Yves Behar in their first collaboration of the Pleasure to the People line of toys. Form 2 is meant to merry power and precise pin-point stimulation in a sleek stylish luxury sex toy. Not sure how high they aimed the bar when creating this, but they did a splendid job of hitting it! Form 2 is a clitoral vibrator, that is meant to mimic “rabbit ears” that are so popular on rabbit vibes. The probably with most rabbit vibes is that the bunny ears don’t usually offer much stimulation, not to mention, since every woman’s anatomy is different, not all of the bunny ears on rabbit vibes actually reach a woman’s clitoris! So Yves and Ethan created a toy that focuses on the great theme of rabbit ears to stimulate the clit, except they amped it up to be so much better than your average rabbit vibe.

The cool part about the toy is that each “ear” has it’s own motor! The vibrator motors are in the ears, not the base of the toy like most vibrators. The base of the toy features a stainless steel Pleasure to the People Jimmyjane logo, this is also where the sex toy charges. No need to plug anything into the Form 2, you simply rest the Form 2 on it’s charging base and then plug the base into a wall outlet. Upon receiving the toy, you’ll need to charge the toy for a few hours to make sure it’s fully juiced and ready to rock your world. I know it can be hard to wait when you’re excited to try out a new toy or you’re super horny, but give it time to charge completely for a few hours or overnight, it’s well worth the wait. Cleaning the toy is very easy as it can be completely held beneath the faucet, anti-bacterial soap and water works nicely and so do other sex toy cleansers. Water-based lubricant is best for the Form 2 experience, so you want to steer clear or silicone lubes when using this toy, as silicone lube can sometimes make silicone sex toy material tacky or permanently sticky to the touch. The buttons on the toy are seamless also, so you don’t have to worry about getting moisture into the buttons. There is a power button, and a +/- button so you can browse through all vibrations modes and speeds. There are 4 vibration patterns that go from a buzzing to a thumping to a slow grind. They’re all awesome! It also features 5 vibration speeds. Wow wow wow! Honestly, I found the highest speed to be Hitachi powerful! I’ve never used a vibrator that compared with an electrical massager when it came to power, but Form 2 has it! It ranges from a low speed to a va va voom high speed that will have you writhing and squirming in pleasure. The highest setting may even be too powerful for some, but I like a lot of power behind my clit toys so it was awesome for me.

The base of the toy is easy to hold in your hands, and the buttons are easy to press even while the toy is in motion. The motor in each ear vibrates and makes the ears flutter slightly, so it you place the ears against your clit, or squeeze the ears around your clit hugging it, you’ll be greeted with seriously fantastic pin-point stimulation. You can even hold the toy sideways, and hold the bunny ears up and down against your clit instead of across. Each and every way that I hold the Form 2 is simply delicious and orgasmic. Some of the most intense clitoral orgasms I have ever had have come from the Form 2! When I first got this toy, I used it over and over and it quickly became my go-to vibrator of choice. The design is cute, the giant bunny ears style is unique, it comes in a pretty pink or slate gray color, it’s powerful, rechargeable, and waterproof, and it’s made of body safe quality silicone. What else could a girl want in a sex toy? I’ve used this toy in the shower also, and it’s great! You can even use this toy on a man, by cupping his balls with the bunny ears, or holding it against his perineum while you give him oral sex or a stroke him. The Form 2 is pretty discreet and small too, it fits in the palm of your hand, so you could hold it against your clit while your partner works a dildo inside of you or penetrates you vaginally or anally. The fun design doesn’t scream “look at me I’m a sex toy!!” so you could probably leave the Form 2 on your desk or dresses and your roommate probably would think it was just a funky looking piece of tech gear or an odd shaped stress ball…oh it’ll relieve some stress alright ;)

Now, I couldn’t finish this review without talking about the “flaw”. Pretty much as soon as the Jimmyjane Form 2 came out, bloggers and sex reviewers alike were eagerly testing this toy out. Most people seemed to really like it, but a few mentioned a flaw that sometimes happens when using the toy. At times when using the Form 2, if the bunny ears get too close together it feels like the motors switch gears and the vibration travels to the base of the toy and leave the ears. It can be frustrating and annoying, it’s happened to me before, and I was one of the first people to bringing the “flaw” up on Twitter back when the toy was first released. Reviewers emailed Jimmyjane about this, and we’re given tips and an explanation as to why this might be occurring, Jimmyjane even offered to exchange the toy for a new one to see if the toy was faulty. You can chalk it all up to a design error, or consider it a awful flaw that renders the toy useless (some people have!) or you can look past the flaw and enjoy the toy for all of the great things about it. I know about the flaw, it’s happened to me a few times, but now that I know why and how it happens I can usually work around it and still have an amazing orgasm without the vibration shifting. Some people mentioned for a toy of this price you shouldn’t *have to* work around a flaw, which I do agree with in part, but I refuse to say that this toy isn’t awesome just because of the sometimes shift of the motors. No toy is going to be perfect for everyone, but everyone can probably find a toy that is perfect for them, and for me, Jimmyjane Form 2 is one of them. A lot of toys that I like aren’t rechargeable, or the buttons may be hard to press, etc etc, but I won’t let them deter me from using them because I truly enjoy them and the orgasms they give me. That is the relationship that Form 2 and I have, it’s a beautiful give and take, I give the motors their space, and in turn, they power some of my most intensely toe-curling orgasms. I can honestly say that I would recommend this toy to every female that I know, including my awesome readers. If you think the slight flaw will turn you off from using the toy, then you can skip the toy, but if you’re like me and you think the pros highly out weight the con, then I definitely recommend this toy for you!

Liberator Kiss Wedge

June 20th, 2011 @ Amber St. Clare

I just want your extra time and your…..kiss! Liberator Kiss Wedge, that is. This super cute piece of sex furniture is made of bright red faux leather that is soft and supple to the touch. It looks like a great big pair of lips, and it’s so so cute. This wedge can be used as a pillow too! In the photo above, it’s resting on the couch, you’d never guess it was a sexual position aid, would you? It’s a fun little fashionable decor for any room, and it moonlights as a fun piece of sex furniture that you can recline. The faux leather cover can be removed from the firm foam core of the wedge, and beneath the cover is a waterproof liner, and beneath that the foam core. The faux leather cover can be wiped down in a damp cloth to clean, or it can be wiped down with a cleansing body wipe. So it’s okay to get lubricant, bodily fluids, and other sex messes on the wedge. The firm core offers great support, so which it is slightly squishy too and will let you relax on it, it also offers leverage if you need it and will keep it’s shape as you lay on it or over it. The Kiss Wedge works like the original Liberator Wedge, but it’s shaped like a smooch, don’t let the cute shape fool you though, this wedge will still aid you in the throws of passion.

This wedge can be used to prop you up during masturbation, as you lay back and use your favorite vibrator, or watch some porn. You can lean back against it, or even lay over it. It’s even really comfortable to lay your head on, and you can leave it on your bed and a guest might just think it’s a cute pillow, so it’s totally discreet if family or friends stumble upon it. It can also be stored in a closet, beneath the bed or in a corner. It’s also lightweight and could make for easy travel if you want to take it to your partner’s house or take it on a weekend getaway. The incline up the shape makes it great for putting under your legs or hips during orals ex or penetrative sex with a partner. It’s also great for laying over to offer a comfortable position and added depth during doggystyle sex. The incline can also offer deeper vaginal penetration, and is great for positioning upwards so when entering the vagina your lover’s penis/dildo can hit the G-spot. You could also bend your guy over the wedge and use it for a comfortable position for anal pegging.

This wedge is ideal for using during oral sex too, to prop your pelvis upward so your lover can be at just the right angle to give you an awesome oral session. this wedge is great for both solo or partner play. I like that this wedge is so darn cute, it’s just my style since I love wearing red lips. The faux lather feels really nice on the skin, the firm foam is supportive to the back, legs, and chest, and it can be used in a variety of positions for both masturbation or partner sex. Liberator offers functionality and style all in one with this cute wedge, and the quality is apparent. You can find the Liberator Kiss Wedge at Discrete-Sensations.com for only $49.95!
