LELO Toy of the Week: Gigi

January 27th, 2011 @ Amber St. Clare

LELO Gigi, How I adore thee. My sex toy storage box is filled to the brim with Lelo toys, but lately the one I’ve been reaching for most often has been the Gigi. Gigi is one of the first adult toys that Lelo released, and it’s one of my favorites actually. It’s a mid-sized G-spot vibe, made of body safe ABS plastic and soft velvety silicone. The vibe is easy to use, is rechargeable, and comes with the usual 1 year limited warranty that comes with all LELO toys. The toy comes in the pretty black signature LELO gift box, comes with a user manual, charger, and a white satin storage bag. It’s no secret that I adore all things LELO, and these are some of the very features that make LELO so great to me. From the toy, down to the packaging. I always feel confident when using a LELO toy, and I can count on LELO to create quality sex toys that appeal to me. Gigi is pretty special from top to bottom. Gigi is an internal vibe, but it can also be used externally. The handle of the toy is made of quality plastic, the tip of the end has a silicone plug that can be removed to expose the charging port of the toy. This is where you plug the toy in to charge it. I love rechargeable toys, they’re convenient and are easier for me to use than fumbling around with batteries. A few hours charge of Gigi and you’re set with around 4 hours of use or so, depending on what speed/vibration setting you use the toy at most often. I like my toys on full blast, so my charge usually doesn’t hold a full 4 hours, but it’s pretty darn close. The silicone plug covers the charging hole when the toy isnt being charge, this helps keep the port clean and dry from lube or other fluids. This toy isn’t waterproof, unlike LELO’s Insignia toy line, so you should use caution when using this toy near water. I have used this toy in the tub with caution, being sure not to get the charging port or the button wet, but it’s not something that LELO recommends doing. I know, I’m quite the sex toy rebel! ;) Cleaning the toy is a breeze. Simply use a toy wipe, anti-bacterial soap and water, or even your favorite toy cleaner. Just be sure not to get moisture into the user button or the charging port. Also, since the head/shaft of the toy is made of silicone, it’s best to use a nice water-based lube with this vibe. Gigi is pretty small and fits nicely in the hand, and it’s easy to maneuver, so you can even pair this toy with an external clit toy such as the Lelo Lily. I like teasing Gigi against my neck and nipples too, and I love warming up by using the flat head of Gigi against my clit. The head of Gigi offers a flat head, that is great for clit stimulation, and is lovely for internal G-spot stimulation. The silicone is smooth to the touch and feels great on the skin. At the base of the shaft on the handle of the toy, you’ll find a circular user button. The button can be pressed up/down and +/-, where the up/down buttons let you browse through a variety of vibration settings from a pulse to a rumble. The +/- buttons are how you power the vibration, from a light vibration to a nice steady medium-high vibration. Now, I’m the not the first to say that LELO toys aren’t the most powerful vibes on the market, but I do think they are the most stimulating to me. The vibration intensity isn’t too powerful or over the top, but it’s still nice and strong. Also, the vibrations aren’t buzzy, they’re deep and rumbly and resonate deeply. It’s one of my favorite things about Lelo toys, the fact that their vibrations seem to stimulate deeper than most higher buzzing vibes.

Even though Gigi is designed as an internal toy, unlike when I use other G-spot vibrators, I like to use Gigi on my clit often. I don;t know why, but I just simply love love love the flat head of Gigi. It feels fabulous against my clit. I’ve been reaching for it most often when I masturbate lately, whether it’s for clitoral or vaginal stimulation. I’ve gotten off at least 5 times this week just using Gigi on my clit alone! That is why I chose Gigi as my pick for LELO Toy of the Week. Internally Gigi is awesome, the flat head presses against my G-spot nicely, and the handle makes for easy grasping as I thrust the toy against my G-spot. This toy is even great for couples, because your partner can stimulate your G-spot with Gigi while giving you oral sex. Or you can tease the flat head of Gigi against your clit as your partner enters you from behind. Guys can even enjoy Gigi on their genitals. You can hold the flat head of Gigi against your man’s perineum, or massage it against his balls and up and down the top and underside of his cock. I’ve found that using Gigi gives me great orgasms when used internally or internally, so it’s been my go-to vibe lately. I love the design of the toy, the pretty color, the smooth supple silicone, and the easy in powering the toy. An awesome pick for sex toy newbies or adult toy pros alike!

LELO Insignia Isla review

January 7th, 2011 @ Amber St. Clare

I love teal/blue/turquoise colors, it’s rare to find sex toys that are available in that color, so I was happy to see the pretty turquoise green LELO Isla. Isla is one of three new toys to the Lelo toy collection, in their new Insignia line of toys. The toys are all rechargeable and also waterproof, which is a first for Lelo toys. Besides coming with the 1 year warranty that comes with all lelo toys, this toy comes with a charger, a toy manual, satin toy storage pouch, and a cute little silver Insignia brooch that you cna wear if you’d like. It all comes wrapped up in the black LELO gift box. Luxury toys? LELO is one of the first companies to really grasp the concept and embrace the functionality and design of truly luxurious sex toys. It’s no secret that I’m a big LELO fan, however, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on the new Isla from the Insignia collection to see just how awesome it was. After charging Isla, through it’s super cool charging port…you charge Isla in the base of the toy, you push the charger through a little silicone slit, that keeps water out, but also charges the toy. I decided to give Isla the once over. The design is sleek and pretty. It’s made of silver ABS body safe plastic, and soft velvety silicone. It feels marvelous on the skin. The toy works great with water-based lubricants, including Lelo’s new Personal Moisturizer lube. Clean up is easier too, than with past Lelo toys, as since the toy is waterproof, I can wash it right under the sink without having to worry about getting water into any seams or buttons on the toy. The buttons on the Isla are seamless, as they are a part of the silicone. The buttons fashion the Insignia sign, which looks like a triple 8. It offers an up and down button and a middle button also. This is where you control the vibration speeds and the vibration modes. Isla offers 6 vibration patterns and vibration speeds that range from a low rumble to a nice stronger grumble. The buttons are easy to press, even during use. The handle of the toy offers a fingerhole, so you can grasp the toy easier during use, even with slippery fingers. The body of the toy is smooth and offers a slightly tapered head with a small curve, to assist with G-spot stimulation. Lelo Insignia Isla is very lightweight in the hand too, and I found the toy pretty comfortable to hold. The toy isn’t completely seamless around the ABS plastic, so when cleaning lube and fluids from your toy be sure to clean the seam properly to fully sanitize the toy. You can use your favorite toy cleaner, toy cleaner wipes, an alcohol solution, or anti-bacterial soap and water. I love how pretty the toy is, and it’s awesome to finally own a series of LELO vibes that are waterproof, which was a request of mine I’ve had for awhile now.

So besides being pretty, how does the toy work? Pretty well. You can tease the tip of the toy against your clit, or dip the tip inside of your vaginal opening. You can slide the entire shaft of the toy inside of your vagina and work the curved tip against your G-spot as you enjoy some vaginal stimulation. You can even pair this toy with your favorite clit toys, such as the Lelo Lily or the Hitachi Magic Wand. This means that this you would be fun to use with a partner. The vibe easily fits between two bodies. Men can enjoy this toy also. Isla can be nuzzled up against a man’s balls or shaft while he receives manual or oral sex. Since the toy is waterproof, it means a couple could even take the toy inside the shower together for a dirty little romp. I like the size and the shape of the shaft of the toy, the tapered end feels pretty nice on my clit and my nipples, and when using the toy internally, it feels good to thrust while grasping the fingerhole on the base of the toy. I have always been a big fan of Lelo’s rumbly vibration, which is less buzzy than most vibes, and their vibrations seem to resonate deeper than most toys do. I didn’t find the vibration strength to be any stronger than the previous toys from the LELO line. While I do love the toy, it’s not my favorite LELO toy. It has a lot of great qualities to it, I just would have liked for a little bit of stronger vibration, such as a more powerful motor like in the LELO Siri. I also would have loved the silver ABS plastic to be a little easier to clean around the seams of the silicone. Only because I’m a clean freak when it comes to my toys, and I really like to know that no bacteria or germs are lingering. I also think it would have been awesome if real steel was used in place of the plastic, however I can understand why it wasn’t, considering the motor of the toy resides in the inner plastic body, and steel on the toy would hike the price of the toy up even higher. So all in all, I like Isla for how she is. Here are a few photos to show how Isla looks up close and personal.

LELO Snow Pear & Cedarwood Massage Candle

December 15th, 2010 @ Amber St. Clare

Scarlet’s Letter Holiday Gift Guide 2010 – Pick #4 – LELO Snow Pear & Cedarwood Massage Candle
Come on baby light my fire…


Luxury. That is something I’ve come to expect from LELO. I was thrilled to find out that LELO decided to create accessories, lube, candles, and massage oils that are just now being released for purchase. Being a huge fan of their sex toys, it was no surprise that I wanted to try this pretty LELO Snow Pear & Cedarwood Massage Candle. The beautiful candle comes in a sleek black candleholder base, that is heavy and weighty in the handle. It’s luxurious and looks classy, it’s also unisex, and would be great for women, men, and couples. There is a silver LELO logo on the front, and a silver lid that is easy to lift off to expose the candle. It has a green fingerhole for opening or closing the lid, which adds a bit of color and flair. The wax of the candle is a creamy white that is made of soy wax, which burns longer than other wax candles, also the wax is softer, which is ideal for massage candles such as this one. The wick is easy to light, and the candle burns very slowly, so you can get a lot of use out of this candle. Upon first lighting the candle, I don’t get too strong of a smell, but as the candle burns, I get a whiff of a gorgeous crisp scent that smells like fresh ripened pear with a little bit of fresh woodsy cedarwood. The scent is very natural, and quite light at first, not too strong or overpowering. The scent permeates the air and takes it’s time as it teases my senses with it’s yummy fragrance. I was expecting a little bit of a stronger scent, but actually I like that the candle burns brightly, and doesn’t end up giving me a headache from an overpowering fragrance like a lot of other candles do. The Snow Pear and Cedarwood fragrance is sexy and relaxing, definitely a great candle for a dinner for two and a great one that would lead to dessert…because after you blow the flame out, and let the wax cool for about 30 seconds, you’re left with a warm massaging candle wax. You can drizzle the melted wax on your lover’s body and give them a full body massage. Very sexy and perfect for warming up before the main course. I like the feel of the massaging wax, the oil feels very much like a quality massage oil, which is basically what the candle turns into once it has melted. A great way to add some romance and some sexy aromatherapy to the bedroom.

Have a burning desire to try this candle? Get the LELO Snow Pear and Cedarwood Candle at Fun Wares for $21.95

LELO Sensua Whip and Tantra Feather review

December 8th, 2010 @ Amber St. Clare

Scarlet’s Letter Holiday Guide 2010 – Pick #3 – LELO Sensua/Tantra
A dynamic duo in the bedroom…

As a fan of all things LELO, I was pretty excited to see that they added a whip and a cute little feather tickler to their accessories collection. I decided to review these two items as a set, because I found that they work really well together. First I’ll be talking about the LELO Sensua Whip, that is made of lovely suede tassels, a smooth acrylic handle with a polished metal ball at the base of the handle. First off, I love the design. It doesn’t look cheap, like a lot of other whips tend to do. This doesn’t surprise me though, because I’m sued to LELO’s high quality. The handle is black, with the LELO logo on it in silver. The hand is easy to hold, and it has a silver neck, where the tassels are, and a silver ball at the end of the handle. The tassels on the whip are luscious and soft to the touch, and are made of genuine suede. The whip comes wrapped in the signature black LELO gift box, and is wrapped in a soft tissue paper. Perfect for gift giving! I like the feel of the soft suede tassels, so I decided to test it out on myself just to get a feel for things. The great thing about this whip is that with the suede feeling of the tassels, you can provide a soft little snap with the whip, or a more drawn own slap that gives a little sting. Perfect for a little light bondage play. Blindfold your lover and have them lay on the bed, tease the tassels over their body, dangling the suede over their face, chest, stomach, genitals…then give them playful little slaps of the whip. A fun way to start out for beginners, that is both playful and a little naughty. For the more experienced bondage play, bend them over and give their bottom a few whacks just just to smart the skin on their ass. The whip can also be used on the chest, arms, or other places. I like that the whip is sexy looking, so it’s non-threatening for beginners, but it’s also versatile enough for pros. You can get the Sensua Whip for $38 at Kama Sutra Closet.

Want to try something a little more gentle to tease and please with? Try the LELO Tantra Feather. This feather makes a great tickler. The feather too, comes wrapped up in the Lelo gift box, presented beneath tissue paper. The feather has a black handle that is made of acrylic and metal, with a metal base, and acrylic handgrip, with a metal ball at the end. The feathers coming out of the handle are super soft to the touch, and feel delightful on the skin. I brushed it against my arms, my stomach, and before long I had goodbumps. Very teasing and sexy. Teasingly tie your lover’s wrists and blindfold them, then tease the feather all over their body. A fun way to arouse the senses, even for beginners. Let your lover lay back on the bed, with their legs parted slightly, and tease the feathers between their thighs, up and down their lengths lightly sweeping their genitals and teasing every place on their body that you’d like. A fun little way to get naughty, but it can also be romantic and sultry, and a fun way to add something new to the bedroom. I love this feather! It’s high quality, it looks nice, and the handle is easy to hold onto and comfortable in the hand. So, are you ticklish? Find out with the LELO Tantra for only $20 now at Kama Sutra Closet.

Both of these items would make a great gift, and an even better sexy little gift if paired together. You can get both items together for a total of $58, that’s an awesome price for the quality of these luxurious sexcessories. KSC is selling these items below retail value, so grab them up while you can. Give some sexy this season..

LELO Personal Moisturizer Lubricant

December 4th, 2010 @ Amber St. Clare

Scarlets’ Letter Holiday Guide 2010 – Pick #2 – LELO Personal Moisturizer
Lube that is luscious…


I was thrilled to hear that LELO, one of my fav toy brands, was releasing their own brand of lubricant. I’m a lube fiend. I’m super picky about the kind of lubricant that I use, and I know what I want and do not want in my lube ingredients, texture, and staying-power. So I was really excited when I got my hands on the new lube by LELO, it’s called LELO Personal Moisturizer, which I assume is the luxury way of saying lube ;) The lube comes in a pretty black LELO box with a silver seal on it. Once you open the box, you can reach in and take out the lubricant. The lubricant comes in a beautiful opaque black glass bottle with the LELO logo on the front, and a pump spout top. The cap is sort of interesting. It doesn’t cover the pump part of the lubricant fully, instead it encircles the pump with a sheer black plastic circle that you lift off of the lubricant. Up lifting it off, you can press down on the pump and it releases lubricant in small squirts, so you can use a little or a lot, it’s up to you. I really like the design of the bottle! It’s sexy and luxurious looking, the circular cap is neat, and though it doesn’t cover the entire pump, it does block the top of the pump so that the pump cannot be pressed. So you could probably carry this lubricant in your overnight bag or suitcase without having to worry about it spilling or about things jumbling around in your luggage and accidentally pressing the pump. The cap is definitely a unique feature.

The lubricant is glycerine and paraben free, which I really like. I love finding quality lubes that are sans parabens and glycerin and instead feature ingredients like aloe vera, which this lubricant does contain. It makes for a nice lubricant additive, as it offers a nice texture and its’ soothing and moisturizing also. You also get a lot of lube in this bottle, it offers 150ml, which should last you quite awhile. The bottle is also very discreet. if placed on your nightstand or dresser, it would look more like a bottle of perfume than anything else. I also like the basic black design of the bottle, the it’s minimal and classy. This lubricant will work wonderfully with any LELO toys, but it also plays well with others. This lube can be used with any other sex toy you’d like, as it contains no oil or silicone, it’s a water-based lube that can be used for sex or sex toy play. It’s also ideal for both men and women because of the unisex bottle and the quality of the ingredients and texture of the product.

I really like the texture of this lubricant. It has a very natural quality to it, and feels similar to natural vaginal lubrication. It’s not too thin or watery, but not too thick or gel like. It’s a happy combination of the toy, and it’s very smooth and silky. It feels good on the skin, and didn’t leave me feeling sticky or tacky. It played well with my toys, and worked just as nicely on plastic and glass as it did on silicone. The lubricant is unscented and unflavored. I found that the lube had good staying power and it didn’t dry out too quickly like some lubricants tend to do. I’m really pleased with this product. It’s exactly the quality I would expect from Lelo, and this has become my lubricant or choice lately. Well done LELO, can’t see what other lubricants you may come out with.

You can get a 150ml bottle of LELO Personal Moisturizer lubricant for $21.25 at KamaSutraCloset.com!

Toy of the Day: Ina

November 28th, 2010 @ Amber St. Clare

Ina Ina Bo Bina Banana Fanna Fo Fina…

Lately I’ve been noticing that with my love of all LELO sex toys, I tend to choose a favorite for a few days and use it to my libido’s content. Today however, my vibrator of choice, the star of my sexcapades and the apple of my eye, has been the LELO Ina. Ina is sexy, she’s lusty, she’s tempting and teasing. I’ve noticed that I can’t keep my eyes (or my hands) off of Ina for the past week or so, so that’s why Ina was chosen as my LELO Toy of the Day. It’s on high rotation in my masturbatory schedule today, I’ve already used it twice. Ina is one of LELO’s newer vibrators. The design is modern, and featured a rounded sleek ABS plastic handle with the new Lelo interface, which includes for rounded buttons featuring a down/up and +/- feature. You can lock and unlock Ina by pressing and holding the +/- buttons for 3 seconds. I love keeping my LELO toys locked in case I decide to throw one in my handbag. By using the +/- buttons you can browse through the vibrations speeds, and by using the up/down button you can flip through the vibration modes which includes a pulsing vibe, short pulses, and long drawn out pulses. Ina isn’t waterproof, so one should be careful not to get moisture in her buttons, as they aren’t seamless. Ina, is rechargeable too of course, which is another reason that I love her. No fumbling for batteries! She also comes with a 1 year warranty, a satin storage pouch, user manual, and comes wrapped up in the signature black gift box that comes with all Lelo toys. Here is where the similarities stop though.

Ina is special, she rocks, she’s pretty darn spectacular. In a world of rabbit vibrators, Ina is a dual vibrator in a rabbit style, but she really shines above the rest. The body of Ina offers a shaft with a curved bulbous end which is great for G-spot stimulation, and down near the bottom of the shaft is a flexible arm that is used for clitoral stimulation. Ina is sort of genius, really. The downfall of most rabbit style vibes is that since very woman’s anatomy is different, the “rabbit” ears on the vibes might not reach or “fit” every woman’s clit. Here’s why Ina is so special, the littleĀ  clitoral “arm” is flexible and long, which means it could reach any woman’s clit, and since it’s flexible, it can be pressed and moved to properly press against the clit. I also found that it offers some nice pressure against the clit, which I adore. There is a little motor in the arm of the clitoral end also, which means you are getting direct vibration, rather than vibration just traveling through the material like which more rabbit style toys. The toy’s soft silicone feels amazing, the vibrations are deep and resonate wonderfully, and the G-spot end feels awesome, so when pairing it with the clitoral arm, it makes for one serious awesome orgasm for me. Ina is one of my favorite Lelo toys, so that is why I’ve been using her so much this past week. Love this toy!

Get your Lelo Ina and check out some other sex toys while you’re at it!

LELO Insignia Soraya

November 21st, 2010 @ Amber St. Clare

It’s here, it’s finally here. What I’ve been lusting and waiting for…a waterproof LELO toy! Introducing the new LELO Insignia line. Three toys to tempt your naughty bits, rechargeable, and made of silicone like other Lelo toys, but what makes the Insignia line different is that this is the first collection of waterproof Lelo vibes, and I’m totally thrilled. Let’s just say that I was more than happy to get my hands on the new LELO Insignia Soraya for sex toy review, the dual action vibrator from the Insignia collection. The toy looks similar in design to the LELO Ina, but it’s quite different also. First off, the Insignia Soraya comes in the classic Lelo black gift box, and comes with a user manual, charger, and how cool is this…a silver Insignia pin/brooch! Yes, you can wear the pin wherever you want and show off your good taste in sex toys. It’s a cute and fun little feature, the Insignia design features a figure 8 with an extra hoop, a swirled ribbon effect that is pretty and looks posh. The most exciting part for me is that the toy is waterproof! I love LELO toys, and love the fact that they are rechargeable, but they’ve yet to come up with a waterproof toy. So I was thrilled when this was released! Soraya is toy made of an ABS plastic that is wrapped in a supple silicone body. You can see the ABS plastic on the sides of the toy, which is silver in color, and with the toys and bottoms of the toy being silicone, wrapped all around the ABS frame. The silicone feels smooth and luscious. The toy has a handle that features the seamless buttons of the toy, the user buttons are in the same shape as the Insignia design and feature a +/- button. The buttons are absolutely seamless and are a part of the silicone, so no worries about moisture seeping into the buttons. The handle of the toy also features a fingercut out hole, which is prefect for grabbing the toy and thrusting, so you can get a better handle on the toy, even with lube on your fingers. At the toy of the toy, there is a flexible arm that is meant for clitoral stimulation, much like on the design of the LELO Ina. The clitoral arm has it’s own special motor inside, so the vibrations you’re getting from the clitoral stimulator is direct, rather than the vibration just carrying through the silicone arm. I love this! Also, the second motor is in the other end of the toy, the head of the toy that is meant for vaginal stimulation. The end of the head is slightly curved upward with a little more width to it than the shaft of the toy, this is great for G-spot stimulation.

Charging port

So how do you charge this toy if it’s waterproof? Through the little charging port, pictured above. You can’t see a “hole” to plug the charger in to. Instead, you press the end of the charger right into the little indention that you can see above. The charger presses through the silicone and charges the toy in it’s base. When the toy is not charging, the silicone stays sealed and doesn’t let water get inside. Not too difficult, but definitely a lot different than the way you charge other Lelo toys. You can charge the toy by plugging it into any electrical outlet. The toy also comes with the usual Lelo satin storage pouch. I like to charge my LELO Soraya while it’s safely laying in the storage pouch with the end of the pouch open. It’s also a good way to charge the toy if you have roommates and you don’t want people walking into your room and seeing a sex toy charging ;) The Soraya comes in three colors: black, deep rose, and cerise. I have the deep rose color and it’s really pretty. As for vibration, Soraya offers vibration speeds that range from low to high. I love the rumbly deep vibrations of Lelo toys, even though their highest setting isn’t super high, the way the vibrations resonate deeply makes this toy very orgasmic. The toy is pretty quiet too, like most other Lelo toys, so you could masturbate with the toy and definitely not be heard in the other room. Well, you won’t hear the toy, anyway… ;) The Soraya also offers 8 vibration settings that range from quick vibrating pulses, to longer drawnout pluses of vibration. You can easily browse through the speed settings and the vibration modes with the touch of a finger at the top of the toy at the base. The buttons are pretty easy to press, and navigate. You can also lock the toy and unlock the toy the same way you do any other LELO vibes, by pressing the holding the +/- buttons at the same time for about 3 seconds. This toy works great with water-based lubricant too, the lube works nicely on the duo of ABS plastic and silicone on the body. Even though you can use silicone lube on ABS plastic, you cannot use it on silicone, so since this toy is made of both materials, you can only use water-based lubricants with Soraya.

So now that we got the technical aspects out of the way, how does Soraya perform? Awesome! I adore this toy. I almost climaxed just at the thought that I finally owned a waterproof LELO, but aside from that, the vibrations were great. I love LELO’s motors because the vibrations aren’t buzzy or pitchy, they actually create stimulation that seems to stimulate me thoroughly and deeply. I loved using the Soraya on the highest setting, and found that the cut-out fingerhole made it much easier to thrust with the toy! With other toys, sometimes my hand gets wet from lubricant, and I can’t get a good enough grasp for serious thrusting, but that wasn’t really a problem that I had when using the Lelo Soraya. I found that I could grasp the toy properly, even if my fingers were a little moist. I also the way the toy of the toy felt vaginally, the slightly angled tip felt nice when used to stimulate and thrust against the G-spot. The clitoral arm is great too, because of it’s own motor, and the fact that the silicone arm is flexible, which means since every woman’s anatomy is different, it can stimulate your clit pretty much no matter what. I found that once the toy was inside, it fit nicely inside of me and the clitoral nub felt insanely awesome against my clit while the shaft of the toy buzzed away inside of my pussy. Yummy! It made for an intense orgasm from deep stimulation while working both my vagina clitoris at the same time. A lot of other dual stimulators, such as rabbits, can be a let down because of the positioning of each woman’s clit and the same cookie cutter positioning of the rabbit ears, but Soraya is different, like her less water friendly half-sister Ina, Soraya’s clitoral arm is large enough to cover the clit, and because of it’s flexibility, it can nuzzle and press against the clit quite nicely for direct stimulation.

Since this toy is waterproof, it finally means that I can have LELO-esque orgasms in the bath and shower! This excites me. I used to be a bit of a bad girl and take my Lelo toys into the tub with me and just made sure not to get water into the buttons. I know I know, what a rebel! ;) Now I can use the Soraya during a bath, in the shower, or even in the swimming pool or hot tub! This makes for some fun scenarios using Lelo toys, that I hadn’t been able to try before. Also, this toy would be fab for couples. Lie down in bed and let your lover grasp the fingerhole on the Soraya and pump away until you’re writhing in pleasure. So many naughty little possibilities. This makes clean up a snap too. Use your favorite toy cleanser, toy wipes, anti-bacterial soap and water, or a solution of Isopropyl alcohol to water. No boiling the toy, since it’s not 100% silicone. My only complaint is that I would have loved for the toy to be made of all silicone or maybe a marrying of silicone and steel instead of silver plastic ABS. I know the latter would have made the toy truly expensive though, and the former might not have been what they were going for design wise. Either way, I still adore the Soraya and am glad Lelo finally came out with a line of waterproof toys.

Are you just as excited as I am about LELO releasing waterproof vibes? If so, check out the Insignia Soraya at Fun Wares for $169.95! That’s below retail, so grab it up while you can.

LELO Pick of the Week: Iris

October 21st, 2010 @ Amber St. Clare

It’s no secret that I love LELO toys, so I decided to dedicate this post to the LELO toy I’ve used most of all out of any other LELO toy this week: Iris. Would a toy by any other name smell as sweet? Like an Iris, this toy is feminine, pretty, powerful, and rechargeable. Why is LELO Iris my favorite LELO toy of the week? Let me explain…

Iris is a mid-sized vibe from the Lelo line of toys, and besides coming packaged in the pretty black Lelo gift box, this toy is different than other Lelo vibes of it’s kind, because it’s textured! I love smooth toys, but once and awhile I like a little textual stimulation. Like a flower, the shaft of Iris features a raised textured detail that looks like flower petals. The silicone is smooth and sleek, and while the details are pretty to look at, they feel even beter. The texture isn’t too hard or abrasive on my vaginal walls, instead the texture offers add stimulation and feels fantastic both internally and externally. The texture on Iris is truly where it stands out as a unique Lelo toy. It’s splashproof, made of silicone, easy to clean, and offers a variety of vibration speeds and vibration modes like other Lelo toys, as well as the toy is also rechargeable, however sometimes Iris offers the type of stimulation that I crave most. Such as this week, I used Iris at least 4 or 5 times, and only used other Lelo toys 2 other times during the week. Iris was the apple of my eye this week, and rightly so. I love the pretty deep rose color of the Iris, the supple silicone, the easy of use when browsing through the vibration settings, and like all LELO toys, I love the vibration intensity. While Iris isn’t as strong as the newest Lelo vibe, Siri, it’s vibrations still resonate deeply and offer me seriously intense orgasms both clitorally and vaginally. I love Iris on my nipples, my vulva, my clit, and of course, in my vagina. The tip of iris is tapered for easy insertion, and the mid-size shaft isn’t too large or too small. The vibrations resonate wonderfully, and while sliding the toy over my clit, or thrusting the toy inside of me, delights me with the textured feeling of Iris’s silicone petals.

I also like the slight curve in Iris’s body which means I can use the toy for G-spot stimulation. Iris is pleasing to both the eye and my naughty bits. That’s why it’s earned the title of my LELO Pick of the Week! Clitoral stimulation, a pretty design, unique texture, and fantastic internal stimulation. Exactly what I was craving most this week! There is a reason that Iris is sitting on my dresser…tempting me to pick her up and tease her against my body some more. For those of you who are sensitive to texture, Iris is delicate and the ridges of the detailed petals on the toy are very nice, not rough. This would be a nice pick for those whoa re used to Lelo’s smooth toys and want to try a little added stimulation. Iris I adore you!

LELO Elise

October 12th, 2010 @ Amber St. Clare

Behold, the LELO Elise. One of the only LELO toys I had yet to review, until now that is. Elise is sexy, pretty, she’s lusty, she’s frisky, and she’s a bit of a minx too. Yes, I am talking about a sex toy. Like every other LELO toy I’ve ever laid hands on (among other things, ahem), I adore the Elise. Like all LELO toys, Elise comes in the signature black gift box with the Lelo logo. Upon opening the gift box, you’re great with the user manual, 1 year warranty, charger, sating storage pouch, and Elise. This toy is made of smooth silicone that feels delicious against the skin, even when you are running your fingers over Elise, the promise of sensual pleasure hangs in the air. Elise is a rich plum color, that is both elegant and pretty. Out of all of the Lelo vibes, Elise is one of the biggest, her long body is curved slightly at the head of the shaft, and is fantastic for both internal and external stimulation. Best of all, like every LELO toy, Elise is rechargeable! Yay, I love love love rechargeable toys, that’s one reason I adore the Lelo brand so. Clean Elise is also pretty easy, you can wash her down carefully with soap and water, or use your favorite toy cleanser. I have even used a toy wipe on Elise and it worked wonderfully. Since Elise is splashproof, but not waterproof, you can sanitize the toy with a little diluted alcohol and water, but be sure not to get moisture into the buttons on the toy or the charging port. Being made of 100% body-safe silicone, Elise plays well with all water-based lubes, be sure not to douse her in silicone lubes though, she doesn’t mix well with those. Now take a nice long look at Elise’s body, don’t worry, she’s not shy, so take a peek. The rounded handle is easy to hold and grip during use, at the tip of the handle you will find the charging port. This is the input where you will plug the charger into as you charge the toy in any electric outlet. There is a small silicone plug that hides the charging port and protects it from some moisture, so you can lift the tab and charge the toy. All you need is a wall outlet. On the top of the handle you will find the user control panel, which is easy to use. It’s a circular panel that features an up, down, left, and right button all which can be pressed easily with the press of the thumb. By using the user interface button you can switch through the various vibration speeds and vibration modes. You can also lock the toy and unlock the toy this way, so that during storage or travel the toy doesn’t accidentally turn on. To lock simply press and hold the +/- buttons at the same time for 5 seconds or so, to unlock do the same.

While browsing through the vibration settings you find a bunch of great settings, like a pulse vibration pattern, and a rolling vibration pattern, keep press the up button to browse through the different patterns. To change the vibration speed press the + or – buttons. The lowest vibration speed is a light hum, and the strongest is a nice vibration of moderate-high. Some people mention that LELO toys aren’t strong enough in vibration speed,but honestly, I love the vibrations, they resonate deeply and aren’t light and pitchy like some other vibes. I orgasm each and every time I use a LELO toy, including Elise. The shaft of Elise is sleek and measures 1.5 at it’s widest part. The toy is awesome for simulation on the breasts, clit, vagina, and can even be pressed against the anus or even used on the neck or back for a massage! You can pressed the slightly curved end of Elise against your clit, or hold the tip of the shaft against your clit. I like to do this to warm myself up. After awhile I like to slide Elise inside of me and really enjoying this as a thrusting toy, it feels awesome on it’s high speed as it moves in and out of your body. Since Elise has a somewhat longer shaft than other Lelo toys, I also sometimes like to use it in the bathtub. Keep in mind, Elise isn’t waterproof, *but* if it’s used above the water with just the tip of the shaft in the water against your clit, all is well. Just be sure not to submerge the toy, and not to get water into the control button. Love this toy! The vibration travels nicely through the entire shaft of the toy, it’s pleasing to the eye, the toy is pretty quiet while in use even on the highest setting, and the silicone feels awesome. I highly recommend the LELO Elise to both sex toy newbies and pros, this toy is fantastic and it’s been a great addition to my sex toy collection!

LELO Boa Pleasure Ties review

October 9th, 2010 @ Amber St. Clare

I don’t wanna tie you down, I just wanna tie you up…

My my my, what have we here? Oh yes, it is one of the handcuffs sets from LELO. I adore all things LELO, thats no secret, so as I’m working my way through the entire new Lelo accessories line, I’ve been enjoying myself…a whole lot. These cuffs are so smooth and suave they remind me of a silky sexy 007. Boa, Lelo Boa. Okay enough of the Bond jokes, but seriously these are cuffs after all, which are a great way to bond, and bind..ahem ahem. The LELO Boa Pleasure Ties come wrapped in the gorgeous Lelo black giftbox, when you take the top off of the box, you’re greeted with lovely tissue paper which unwraps to reveal these super sexy ties! These ties, are basically cuffs, but they aren’t just for your wrists. You can tie up your lover’s ankles, wrists…whatever your sexy lil heart desires. The ties are made of smooth and soft 100% silk, with some suede detailing, and the metal rings, which are used to secure your ties, not to mention freshwater pearls. These ties comes in red, purple or black, so you can choose whatever color suits you best. Each tie is 40″ long, and there are two of them, which gives you plenty of room to try out some of your hidden desires. These ties would be good for beginners who want to tie a little light bondage, or some sex toy pros who like pretty restraints. These ties are so pretty! They’re luxurious, sleek, and gorgeous. Exactly what I would expect from a Lelo product. One side of the ties is smooth, the other has a detailed brocade design, which makes these ties stand out of the crowd, in my opinion. The pretty design is unique and sensual. The cuffs are easy to use also.

One end of the ties has a trail of freshwater pearls, that when looped into the metal rings, ensures a nice tight or loose binding, whichever you prefer. See, like I told you, beautiful AND functional! I had a lot of fun tying my wrists and ankles up when testing these ties out. The possibilities are endless really. You could have a lover secure your ankles, or your wrists, and tempt and tease you with oral sex, a favorite sex toy, or a sensuous full body oil massage. These ties open up a variety of possibilities, and the silk feels fabulous against bare skin…I’d love to get another set of these, for ankle AND wrist ties. I adore these ties. They’re simple to use, they create a nice tight bind. Definitely a sexy way for lover’s to try new things with sensation play. Trying pairing these ties with the Lelo Intima Blindfold that I reviewed recently…hotness beyond belief. Grab your lover and get tied up…

Get your hands on (and wrapped around!) LELO Boa at PleasureGalaxie.com for $74, which includes free shipping! These beautiful ties make a great investment for the bedroom.
