For the Naughty Girl on your list…better than a lump of coal

November 23rd, 2009 @ Amber St. Clare

When I saw the Naughty School Girl Toy Bag from Pipedreams, I knew I had to see what types of goodies it had in store. The bag is cute all on it’s own, made of a plaid material, that looks similar to a school girl skirt, and has the Pipedreams logo on it. The cool thing is that this toy bag also comes with a lock attached, so snooping eyes will stay out ;) This kit can add a lot of fun to your roleplaying fantasies. I for one, always had a fantasy about seducing a teacher when I was in high school. That never happened of course, but it’s kind of a fun idea to role play with. This cute bag holds all of the tricks and treats to get you started. The bag comes with a vibrating hair brush, two warming lickable massage lotions, a penis lollipop, a mini penis notepad, a mini whip keychain, a penis pen, penis hair ties, a vibrating lipstick vibe, a plaid school girl tie, and plaid school girl g-string panties. The lollipop, notepad, and pen are just hilarious! I laughed as I checked them out. This would make an awesome bachelorette gift! These items are really meant to be for fun. The whip keychain is cute and actually works for fun little love whips. The edible massage lotions come in small bottles that make them perfect for slipping into your purse for on the go fun. The school girl tie is really cute! So are the school girl panties. They are a one size fits most type of deal, so they would probably fit anywhere from a size S-L. If you’re a lady with a lot of junk in the trunk, unfortunately these panties may not work for you. I’m not a fan of one size fits most type of products, but since this is a pre-packaged kit you don’t get much choice over that. The hair ties are hilarious and look like mini dick heads. I had a lot of fun absentmindedly sucking the penis lollipop. I even took some dirty cell hone photos and sent them for my guy to tease him ;)

The lipstick vibe and the hairbrush vibe was both small and discreet. Honestly they’re not that powerful and are made of a simple black plastic. Definitely not the best sex toys on the market, but as I said earlier, this kit is more for fun rather than real use. if you’d like to get off with a real vibrator, this bag is not the choice for you. If you’re looking for a fun little set to surprise your lover with, then this will be right up your alley. Surprise him by wearing the plaid tie and the plaid g-string. bend over and let him give you a little corporal punishment ;) Pass the test, or land yourself in detention, it’s all about having fun. This kit is cute, but the bag is my favorite part. The bag is cute, holds all of the contents, and can be used for other things such as storing sex toys. This would also make a funny prank gift for the naughty girl on your list this holiday season! Coal is so last season, give the bad girl on your list the Naughty School Girl Toy Bag. Penis lollipops are so much more fun, so let the …oral presentation begin ;) You can get your hands on the Naughty School Girl Toy Bag at TabuToys.com for $65!

LoveHoney Erotic Rocket

November 6th, 2009 @ Amber St. Clare

Mmm, clitoral stimulation. One of the amazing things about being a woman. The Love Honey Erotic Rocket 2.0 vibrator is so cute, how could you *not* want to put it on your clit? Similar to other pocket rockets on the market, this discreet pocket vibrator is small and made of a hard plastic body. The top of the toy is detailed with three steel balls that when held against the clitoris produces very yummy vibrations. Unlike most pocket rockets, the Love Honey Erotic Rocket offers high vibration intensity and multi speeds and patterns! Most of all, this toy provides you with a variety of choices, unlike the other pocket rockets on the market. Powered by one AA battery, turn this vibe on, and let it do the same to you in return. Available in either pink or black, this toy is cute *and* functional. It’s about 5 inches long, and is made of body friendly plastic. There is a little seamless power button near the base of the toy, that when pressed takes you from 3 modes of steady vibration to 7 other vibrational patterns. Choose from a teasingly slow pulsation pattern, or a faster more drawn out vibration. The other great thing about this toy is that you can carry it in your purse without worrying about it buzzing away in your bag! The Love Honey Erotic Rocket 2.0 needs to be turned on the On position on the turn dial, and the On button at the base needs to be pressed as well. This is awesome, because I have had toys in my bag before that end up getting turned on by accident! This isn’t the case with this fun little vibe though.

I first used this vibrator at home while on the couch, and was nicely surprised by how intense the vibrations were. The steels nubs on the head of the toy feel fantastic against the clit and the toy is small enough that you can use a dildo for G-spot stimulation while you use this vibe! You can also use this vibe during sex, just hold it against your clit while your partner enters your vagina. Or straddle your partner and ride him/her while they hold the Erotic Rocket against your clitoris. Use it during doggystyle sex to really heat things up! You can also use this toy in the shower. That is the second place I used this toy, it was awesome to lean up against the shower wall and feel this toy against my clit while the hot water rushed over me. Hot! This toy is easy to clean too, just rub down with an alcohol/water ratio or use your favorite toy cleaner. I like using sex toy cleaner wipes to clean the steels nubs of the toy and the shaft of the toy. it makes clean up a snap! This toy is affordable and it works the way I would want a pocket vibe to work. Get your own Love Honey Erotic Rocket 2.0 at Love Honey – while Love Honey is a UK based sex toy shop, they offer prompt and discreet shipping to the USA! Their customer service is second to none. If you’re in the US and wanna order, check out their US prices and info. Their low prices make it perfect for holiday shopping ;)

Happy Halloween…with the Tantus Vamp

October 31st, 2009 @ Amber St. Clare

Happy Halloween

Introducing….The Vamp by Tantus

This gorgeous pale cock you see before you doesn’t belong to Edward Cullen (put your tongues back in your mouths, ladies), but essentially…it could. Introducing the Vamp series from Tantus. Tantus is known for making beautifully sculpted sex toys made of 100% premium silicone, but they really aimed to please when they introduced this bad boy. It’s no surprise that vampires are the hip thing right now, with Twilight fans and True Blood fiends aplenty, so Tantus knew what they were doing when they dreamed up this deathly delicious dildo – The Vamp. This toy is realistic, detailed with a nicely defined head, and ridges and ripples up and down the shaft of the toy. You’ll notice that the color of this particular phallic delight is rather pale in tone, which is fitting, as this vampire-qesue treat is meant to resemble the super mysterious un-dead. Now Edward Cullen fans, and Bill the vampire fans can put a little realistic twist to their blood-thirsty crushes. The cool thing about silicone is that it holds temperature extremely well, so for the full effect, you can pop this dildo in the fridge to get it nice and cold. I have a feeling that this toy is going to inspire a whole new genre of vampire role playing games and fan fiction. I love the size and shape of this toy, it’s firm yet soft, which makes it feel more “real” than most dildos, and the base of the toy is flat, which means you can also use this dildo with a harness. Since it’s made of silicone, this toy is also easy to clean and can be sterilized by popping it into a vat of boiling water to get it nice and squeaky clean.

The other cool thing about this dildo is that is dazzles…that’s right, just like Edward Cullen. Twirl the dildo back and forth and watch the light sparkle of the silicone glitter. Really puts some new meaning behind the Twilight quote when Edward says “Do I dazzle you?” – Oh boy, does he ever. I love this toy! The color is rather unique to most other realistic dildos. The subtle sparkle of the silicone makes it pretty without being too loud and obnoxious. The ridges and texture of the shaft of the toy feels marvelous, and the slightly curved prominent head of the toy feels fantastic. I really loved fucking myself with this dildo. It felt awesome! I could feel the walls of my vagina embrace the Vamp as I held onto the base of the toy and slid it in and out of me. I also love the flat base, because it makes it easy to rest it against a flat surface such as the floor or the shower floor. I found that I really liked holding the base of the toy against the floor as I straddled the dildo and rode it. How was my orgasm? Spellbinding! This toy gives new meaning to the term “Le Petit Mort”. As the french call an orgasm, “the little death”. The Vamp gave me a fantastic orgasm that left me moaning and writhing in forbidden ecstasy. This dildo made me feel naughty in the best sort of way, and it’s actually become one of my favorite dildos!

I highly suggest using a good water-based lubricant with this toy, be sure not to use silicone lube, as it could damage the toy’s material. Trust me, this is one faux cock that you wanna keep in one piece. This toy is awesome to use with a vibrator. Slide the Vamp inside of your pussy and then use the head of the Hitachi Magic Wand on the base of the dildo, the intense vibrations transfer through the dildo wonderfully! You can also pump this dildo in and out of your body while using a vibrator on your clit, which can make the experience even more thrilling. Watch an episode of True Blood, or thumb through your copy of New Moon and let your fantasies run wild. This dildo is great fuel to ignite your carnal desire for these sexy nocturnal creatures. So if bloodsuckers are your thing, this is one toy you don’t want to pass up. It’s cute, unique, and best of all, it performs well. I found that this toy feels amazing when used anally also. I’m tempted to get my hands on another Vamp, just so I could be penetrated by the Vamp dildo vaginally and anally at the same time. I also really enjoyed sucking on this dildo – have your lover strap the dildo on and perform some vampire fellatio ;) There is something highly erotic about sucking off a bloodsucker.

Check out the video below to see just how cool the Vamp looks when it sparkles. It’s hard to capture it in a photo, but Tantus does a nice job of trying to catch it on film.

Got a craving for something immortal? You can sink your teeth into the Tantus Vamp for $49.95 at My Pleasure. You’ll also receive a FREE Slimline vibrator with your purchase! (While supplies last.) My Pleasure.com offers discreet shipping, fast service, and they also provide a one year sex toy guarantee!

Liberator Throe – you need this!

October 29th, 2009 @ Amber St. Clare

Ever stained your 600 count egyptian cotton sheets on your bed after a session of love making? Have you ever spilled silicone lubricant all over your couch? Yeah, me too. Let’s face it, sex can be a messy business. I’m certainly not complaining, but if I can save a good pair of linens, I’m going to do that, and now I know how. The Fascinator Throe from Liberator is a super sexy way to make post-nookie clean up a breeze. I recently got my hands on the Shag Throe in a gorgeous deep purple color. I can’t stop touching it! It’s luscious and plush and so soft and smooth. One side of the throw is silky smooth satin, and the other side is a lush shag material that feels fantastic against the skin. This throe is very versatile, and it’s reversible, so you can use whichever side of the throe that you like. So now you can spill your love juices in your throws of orgasmic bliss without worrying about soiling the sheets! Give yourself peace of mind while you, ahem, get a piece ;)

There is a hidden inner moisture barrier inside of the throe which means even if you spill lubricant, massage oils, or other fluids on the throe, it won’t seep through onto your bed, couch, floor, etc. Just drape the throw across your favorite sex spot and get to it. I first used my throe on the couch during a steamy masturbation session, and now I’m hooked! It was great to feel confident that the moisture from my vagina wasn’t going to leave embarrassing souvenirs on the couch for my nosy roomie to see.  Not to mention the shag material felt fantastic on my ass! The next time I gave the throe a chance to prove it’s awesomeness, I got a little action on the bed. This time I wanted to try getting down and dirty on the satiny side of the Throe. It was so yummy! I loved the softness of the satin against my skin, and it made my bed look pretty. The throw is big enough to cover a fantastic amount of your play area. At 5 x 6 feet, this throw is big enough to use by yourself, or with a lover (or two!). The Fascinator Throe is also 100% machine washable, which means there is little need to clean up after an exceptionally messy rendezvous – just pop this bad boy in the washer. Once it’s clean, it’s ready for next time. Not to mention, this throw is very discreet. If your roomie (or God forbid, your mother!) happened to pick this up off of your bed, they would probably just think it’s a blanket. Not to say that you can’t use this as a blanket, you can! That’s the great thing about the Liberator Throe – it can be used any place and for nearly anything. I’m thinking of getting one to keep in the trunk of my car, just in case a spontaneous sex session were to occur while I’m not at home.

I absolutely adore my throe! It’s become one of my favorite sex accessories. This bad boy held up to saliva, water-based lube, massage oil, lotion, water, silicone lube, and the usual bodily fluids that are expelled during a romp. I even spilled a little white wine on it later, and yep, it’s still good as new after a wash in the spin cycle. It’s a high quality product, something I have come to expect from the Liberator company. This throe also comes in a variety of colors and two materials to choose from. Shag comes in black, purple, red, blue, and tan. If you don’t want the Shag material, you can opt for the Micofiber material, which comes in the same colors as the Shag, plus a leopard and zebra print. So grab your favorite sex toy, your bottle of lube, and throe and get busy! Interested in getting a little action on the Liberator Fascinator Throe? You can buy it right now at Liberator.com for $85 – on sale!

Fleshlight – Stamina Training Unit

October 21st, 2009 @ Amber St. Clare

I adore Fleshlight. Their brand has really opened up so many men to using sex toys and masturbators. I’ve heard wonderful things about the original Fleshlight, so when I heard about the Fleshlight Pink Lady Stamina Training Unit I knew that I had to learn more. Fleshlight is the #1 best selling male masturbator on the market right now. For good reason too, their products are high quality and are known for excellent performance. Each Fleshlight looks similar to a flashlight, but once you twist open the top, there is a masturbation sleeve nestled inside. Fleshlight offers many orifices to choose from including Original Lady (Vagina), Butt (I think this speaks for itself) and Mouth (once again, this needs no explanation). So, what makes the Stamina Training Unit different than other Fleshlights? The STU offers all of the qualities of an original Fleshlight, but with a ultra-sensitive textured masturbation sleeve. This training unit is for men who want to last longer during sexual activity – the Stamina Training Unit says that “if you can last 10 minutes with the STU, you can last 20 minutes in bed!”. Made of soft supple flesh-like material, the Pink Lady masturbation sleeve looks like the real deal, with a vulva detailed orifice. The “skin” of the sleeve is very smooth. I’ll admit I was fascinated by it, and found myself fingering the faux-pussy. Having a vagina of my own, I can tell you that the Fleshlight feels the most like a real vagina than any other masturbator I have ever experienced. I wanted to explore the STU myself to give a female opinion on this toy. I love the collectors edition tin that the Fleshlight comes it! It’s sexy, it’s cool, and it’s a great place to “hide” the Fleshlight when not in use. The Fleshlight case that comes with the Training Unit is gold in color and though it’s bigger than a standard Fleshlight, it is still quite discreet while you have the cap screwed on. The STU even comes with a pillow pack of lube to really get the party started!

As life-like as the Fleshlight sleeve feels, you can make it feel even better, if you soak the sleeve in warm water for about 10 minutes. It will soften and warm the sleeve so when a penis slides into it, it will feel more like scoring a homerun than sticking your rod into a fake vagina. The inside of the STU masturbation sleeve is studded with little nubs, that make for an ultra-sensitive feeling against the shaft of the penis. After soaking the sleeve, drying it, and placing it into the Fleshlight case I lubed up two of my fingers and began to finger the Fleshlight. I probably looked quite silly doing it, but I was so curious to try it out! I found that it was actually pretty fun, even from a female perspective. I then lubricated a dildo and proceeded to slide it in and out of the Stamina Training Unit. I could feel the friction as the sleeve grasped onto the dildo. I could only imagine how wonderful it would feel on a real penis! So i decided what better what to find out, than to have the STU test out by a man. Who was the lucky guy? I went with a male friend who is already a fan of the Original Fleshlight. I figured he would be a great product tester as he already has experienced the joys of an original Fleshlight and he could tell me if the STU really is more sensitive than the original. When I gave my friend the gently-fingered Fleshlight, he looked like a kid on Christmas morning, excited to test out his new toy. I didn’t hear back from him until the next day. I thought maybe he had forgotten about his product testing, so perhaps didn’t find the time to test the toy yet, boy was I wrong! Turns out, he has ended up using the STU many many times and was too busy concentrating on the orgasms to even bother giving me an opinion. I didn’t mind though – I was excited to hear what he thought.

My friend told me that the Fleshlight Stamina Training Unit was amazing. He says that this may be his favorite Fleshlight, as the ultra-sensitive masturbation sleeve gave him a earth-shattering orgasm. He sheepishly confided in me that it was hard (no pun intended) to even last the 10 minutes with the toy! He ended up making it 7 minutes the first time, and then 10 the next time. He said that he found the sensations to be fantastic and that he definitely recommends this toy to all of the males in the blogosphere who read my blog. I also want to mention that the Fleshlight can be used hands-free, with Fleshlight’s “shoe method” in which you tuck the handle of the case into a shoe and then proceed to fuck the Fleshlight hands-free. You can also use the Stamina Training unit in many different positions, and wedge it between two couch cushions. You can control the tempo, the speed, the angle of thrusting – guys, the choice is up to you! I also suggest using a good amount of lube to make the toy feel nice and wet as you work your member in and out of the Fleshlight orifice.

Guys, you can even include your lady, if you don’t want her to feel let out. You can lay back and let your lady control the Fleshlight, have her hold it in her hand and move in up and down your shaft. Also, ssing a Fleshlight is a great way to have a “threesome” without really adding an extra partner. Try pumping in and out of your Fleshlight while you perform oral sex on your partner. It’s a great toy for couples, as well as single fellas. I am loving the Stamina Training Unit and I plan on gifting a few of these to friends of mine around the holidays. The Fleshlight Training Unit gets two thumbs up from me, and two thumbs up from my male toy tester…er, well, he *would* give two thumbs up if he could pry his hands away from the Fleshlight! ;)

You can find the Stamina Training Unit at Pink Cherry sex toys for $69.95 – be sure to check out their other Fleshlight brand products.

Fun Factory Share

October 19th, 2009 @ Amber St. Clare

Having tried other harness-free strapons, I was really interested in seeing how the Fun Factory Share would measure up. I’m a big fan of Fun Factory toys, they’re high quality and are known for good performance. The Share is made of 100% soft supple medical-grade silicone. This dildo is double-ended and meant to be shared with a partner – hence the name, Share. The design is sleek and unique. The silicone is scent-free and is smooth to the touch. I also really like the pastel pink color, its pretty and very feminine. Besides being waterproof, this toy is non porous and can be sterilized in boiling water, which makes it ideal for easy cleaning. Silicone is a great material and very sanitary and body safe. You can also clean this toy using your favorite toy cleaner. Taking a look at the Share, you’ll see that one end of the toy is very phallic, and features a contoured head, while the other end of the toy is shaped into somewhat of a bean shape. This end is meant to be worn inside of the vagina. You slide this end into the vagina, where it can press against the G-spot, and anchor inside of your vagina, allowing for hands-free use. You can then use the other end of the dildo to have sex with your partner. Ideal, right? Cool, unique, and simple to use. So just how does this toy perform?

After some intense foreplay, I decided to try and insert the anchored end of the Share. I found the bean-shaped internal piece to be a little on the bulky side, and I had a little bit of trouble inserting it. Once I had it inserted, I could feel the thick silicone bulb pressing against my G-spot. However, the shaft of the toy hung a little lower than I was expecting, so I did find myself holding it up with one hand. The cool thing about this toy is you can have some fun having your own “penis” – letting your partner lick the shaft of the toy. I found this to be really sexy! My guy wasn’t too thrilled with the pink color, but I liked it ;) This toy is good for pegging. Beginners and pros will probably like this toy. The shaft is thick enough, and the supple silicone retains body heat very nicely. I also like the shape of the shaft and the tapered head. This toy can be used anally and vaginally, just be sure to sterilize it properly between use! I found that the tapered head could easily slide into my partner’s bottom. Using a lot of lubricant is key to make use with the Share a success. I found this toy to be successful in pegging my partner, and though I found that I still used my hands once and awhile to make the shaft of the toy stand up higher, for the most part, you really can use this toy hands-free! I didn’t get much stimulation during use myself, as I found the internal bulb to be a little on the uncomfortable side, I still found the whole experience to be quite a turn on. Plus, using your vaginal muscles to hold the bulb end inside of your vagina is a great way to work your kegel muscles! You can use the Share in a variety of positions, and if even though this toy is strap-less, you can still use a harness if you’d like. The Share will fit into most standard dildo harnesses, so you can in fact still strap this bad boy on! The choice is up to you and what is most comfortable for both you and your partner.

The great part about this toy is that you can even fuck yourself with it. Simply grab the easy grip bulb end, and thrust the shaft end of the toy in and out of your vagina or ass. You can also wear the bulb end of the toy in your ass, rather than your vagina if you find that more comfortable, but this will slightly shortened the length of the Share, giving your partner a little less depth as you thrust into them. I actually enjoyed wearing this toy anally, I found that even though it was quite large, my ass seemed to grasp it firmly and it was kind of hot for both me and my partner to have our asses stimulated in unison. Overall, I found that the Share rocks! I like the design, I like the ease of cleaning the toy, and I found it to be one of the more quality strapless dildos that I’ve found. Sharing is caring…get some today ;)

You can find the Share and other sex toys at TabuToys.com!

Introducing: Sqweel by Love Honey

October 12th, 2009 @ Amber St. Clare

Love Honey is one of the most popular sex toy companies in the UK. They offer fabulous brands such as Jimmyjane, Je Joue, and We-Vibe. Love Honey also makes their own line of sex toys – which is cool! I *love* the idea of a sex shop creating unique and fun products directly from their minds to their customers loins. Allow me to introduce you to the Sqweel.  The Sqweel is a fun new adult toy from Love Honey that is meant to feel similar to oral sex. The toy is a black clam shell base, with a silicone circle inside that is adorned with 10 mini silicone tongues. The vibe can be turned on low, medium, or high, with the switch of a button at the base of the shell. As the toy’s tongues swirl in a circular motion, it works almost like a wind-mill of lust – as the mini tongues lap against your neither regions. I should also mention that this toy feels great on your nipples, and neck, and other parts of the body. I found that using a lot of water-based lubricant made this toy feel great. It’s a *very* new and unique feeling compared to most vibrators – as the toy doesn’t vibrate or oscillate, it “moves” in another way, similar as a tongue would, in an up/down flicking motion. I actually really really liked the sensations that this toy gave – it was like no other toy, and it felt different even than a finger clicking my clit. It was quite nice. This toy takes AAA batteries, so it is not rechargeable, but I used this toy for quite awhile and the batteries seem to be holding up just fine. This toy can be cleaned by removing the side panel of the clamshell base, and removing the wheel that houses the silicone tongues. This toy is made of body friendly material, and contains no latex or pthalates.

As this toy doesn’t vibrate, it still makes noise, as all moving toys do. It isn’t the usual vibrational pattern you may be used to hearing, but rather a winding sound as the toy turns. This sound didn’t bother me at all, but it may for some…I honestly didn’t care much about whatever noise it was making, since I was making noise of my own ;) The clamshell base is also large enough to fit in the palm of your hand, so you can hold it in place easily. Also, pay attention to the direction of the tongues movement. Holding the clamshell one way will make the tongues flick downward, and if you turn the clamshell upside down, the tongues will flick upward. So you can see which type of movement you prefer!

Amber’s orgasmic tips for use with the Sqweel:
#1 Though this toy is *not* water-proof – I found that if you remove the circular piece that holds the mini tongues and you soak the piece in a bowl of warm/hot water, and then dry the piece properly and place it back into the toy before using – the mini tongues will feel warm and even softer and even more life-like in it’s sensations.

#2 I found this this toy works in many different positions, but my favorite position to use this toy is the straddle method. I placed the base of the toy flat against the bed, and held it there, as I straddled the toy, much like when straddling a lover’s face during oral sex. To me, this made the “licking” sensation of the toy very erotic! I loved the feeling of the mini tongues in this position. If you want to have hands-free fun and not worry about holding the toy flat on the bed, you can get a shoe and place the base of the clamshell toy in the opening of the shoe, and it will hold the toy upright for you. Though if your roommate happens to walk in and look at you funny for straddling a shoe…don’t blame me ;) *just teasing*

Love Honey, the idea and design behind this toy obviously took a lot of time and effort! My clitoris thanks you :) Special thanks to Love Honey for sending me this toy to review before it was released. I hope everyone who reviews this toy, or any customers who decide to buy the Sqweel see just how awesome it is and notice all of the unique and fun things about this toy that sets it apart from the rest.

You can get your hands on the Sqweel for £34.99 (thats about $55 in US funds) at LoveHoney.co.uk

Mmm, Better Than Chocolate

October 5th, 2009 @ Amber St. Clare

I’m a big fan of chocolate. Chocolate can be orgasmic, it can lift your mood, it can soothe your mind. I’m guessing that the majority of menstrual women reading this can agree with me on that. So when I stumbled upon Nomi Tang’s new vibrator Better Than Chocolate – you know I had to try it out for myself! Just what *is* this sex toy all about? Better Than Chocolate is a luxury sex toy that is meant for clitoral stimulation. This vibe comes in a pretty white box that flips open to reveal the toy. This vibrator also comes with a soft velvet storage pouch. This toy is packaged very elegantly. Upon removal of the toy from it’s gift box, you’ll see that the body of the toy is somewhat intergalactic looking, in a triangular shape. It’s pretty and modern, and contoured to fit the female form. The body of the toy is made of smooth skin safe Elastomer, that feels soft against the body. One end of the BTC is where you power the toy on/off – with a seamless power button, that can be pressed once to turn off, and once again to turn off. If you twist the end cap (where the power button is located) to the right, and pull, you can open the battery compartment. Where you’ll need to insert two AAA batteries. Pop the battery compartment back into place properly, and turn the vibe on. The cool thing about this sex toy is that there aren’t *really* any actual buttons! You control the vibe with a fun state of the art slider control. The slide sits near the front of the toy, close to the head of the vibe. You can run your finger up and down the slider control to turn up the vibration intensity, to slow it down, or to change to a new vibration setting. You can even lock the toy so it will stay in the mode that you like best. The head of the toy is curved, with a pin-pointed triangular tip that rest nicely up against the clit. This designer vibrator stimulates the clitoris nicely, and you can even feel the vibrators in your vulva area. The intensity of the vibrations is quite nice, I liked the toy set on the highest speed. It would have been nicer to feel a little more power behind the vibrations, but honestly, the vibrations were just as powerful as most rechargeable vibes tend to be. I only wish this vibe were rechargeable!

It’s a great toy, it’s discreet, pretty, and I love the slider control. For the price, and because this is a designer toy, I would have loved for it to be rechargeable rather than need batteries.
This toy performs very nicely though. It’s not too loud, and the slider control is very easy to use while in use. Better Than Chocolate comes in two fun colors; Fuschia, and Blue.

I found that the head of the toy also feels really nice against your nipples and your neck. BTC is curved nicely so it fits over nearly every part of the human body, so it can be used for full body use. This toy is also quite easy to clean, since it’s almost seamless. I liked using toy cleaner on this toy, and anti-bacterial wipes. You can use soap and water though if you’d like, just remember that this toy material is porous so it can trap bacteria if not cleaned properly. I used water-based lubricant with this toy and it worked wonderfully. You can even use the Better Than Chocolate with a partner. Slip it between two female bodies and grind, or use the toy on your clit while your partner enters your vagina. I also enjoy how the BTC fits in my hand. It’s easy to hold and I didn’t have to worry about it slipping out of my fingers. I also enjoy the power end, as it’s easy to grasp while you use a finger from the same hand to slide along the control slider.

So while I’m not sure I’ll be giving up chocolate for this vibrator…who says the two need to be mutually exclusive?  I’ll have my chocolate…and play with it too! ;) You can get your chocolate fix with the Better Than Chocolate at Babeland.com for $80

Evolved Novelties Diamond Lustre

October 1st, 2009 @ Amber St. Clare

I’ve reviewed some Evolved Novelties toys in the past, and one of my favorite things about EN toys, is that they are affordable. Now, I’ll admit,I am a bit of a toy snob, and some of my favorite toys are quite pricey, but generally you get what you pay for. Meaning quality toys often come at a higher price. Evolved Novelties is a fun company that offers cute toys that are generally under $40. Which is a nice price range for those who don’t want to compromise their sexual satisfaction just because we are in a recession. The Diamond Lustre is one of Evolved Novelties g-spot vibes. This toy is small, very discreet, and it’s actually cute. Made of a satiny smooth velvet cote type of material, this toy is curved at the head for G-spot stimulation. The base of the toy is circled with rhinestones. This toy is part of EN’s Diamond Edition toy collection. One of the things I like about Evolved Novelties toys is that they all come in a tin box. Cute packaging and presentation which makes this affordable toy feel like a splurge even though it’s really a steal (shhh, don’t tell your wallet!). This toy offers multiple speeds, and is even waterproof. Though I would not suggest submerging this baby in water. It’s perfectly safe for shower use though. You can clean this toy quite easily too, using anti-bacterial soap and water or your fav toy cleaner. Since this toy isn’t made of silicone, it’s made of a type of smooth plastic material, so to make clean up even easier, you can even slip this little guy into a condom!

Diamond Lustre works nicely. It’s vibrations are not extremely intense, but this toy is small and quite discreet, so you can carry it in your purse for wank-off sessions on the go. This toy is pretty quiet. It’s not something that can be heard through a closed door, but it may be able to be heard in a silent room, so keep that in mind if you have roomies. The head of this toy is pretty small, so while it’s a nice toy to warm your G-spot up with, it wasn’t a toy that really rocked my G-spot the way I wanted it to be down. If you’re a G-spot beginner, this could actually be ideal for you though, as the toy’s curved end will help you locate and stimulate your special area. This toy can also be used on the clit. Just swirl or flick the curved end against your clit. This sex toy is a good deal for the price, but if you’re a G-spot pro, you’ll want to skip this toy and go for one of the big boys such as the Njoy Pure Wand or the Bswish Bgee.

Berman Center Astrea I vibrating panties

September 25th, 2009 @ Amber St. Clare

These panties are cute, right? They look nice, but they also *feel* nice. That’s because these are no regular panties, ladies, these are the Berman Center Astrea I. Created by Laura Berman, these sexy black lace panties vibrate. You may have even seen this pair of vibrating undies in the new film The Ugly Truth. These undies are comfortable, machine washable, and fit up to a womens size 10. Made of stretch lace, they have a full back, which means your ass is covered. Though Berman Center does make a thong version of this panty called the Astrea II. I had so much fun with these undies! First off, they are super discreet, which means you can even pack this pair of panties into your bag or purse to take on the go. Not to mention, these panties use a remote control, which makes use even more fun – just use your imagination. The remote has a 12 foot range, which means you can go out to dinner with your partner and have them work the remote, so you’ll be squirming under the table in no time. If you’re out dancing at a club, have your lover turn the vibration on while you two are getting down on the dancefloor. The possibilities are endless. So, how do these panties work? All the magic comes from the little removable clitoral vibe that you slip into a hidden pocket in the crotch of the undies. The small vibrator nestles against your clit, though it’s very comfortable, and it doesn’t feel weird with you sitting down or even walking around, you barely notice that it’s there…until you turn it on that is.

The vibrations are nice. Not super intense, but not weak. Which means the vibe can be a bit noisy. That is why these probably wouldn’t be a good idea to say, I don’t know, use in a public library….ahem, not that *I* would know or anything… ;) You could use these at dinner, at a party with friends, and if you’re really in for a thrill, you can try it while driving (use caution though!) or at work! I had a lot of fun testing these panties out by myself. It was fun to pull them on and then do a few errands. It really enhances the feeling when you use thee with a partner though. It’s fun to let your partner tease you as he or she works the control. These are also great for phone sex (or heck, even cyber sex!) because they are handsfree, which leaves your hands free to do other things, such as caress your body, or even type on a computer. I’m actually wearing the Astrea I right now as I type this! ;)

You can also remove the clitoral vibe and place it into a pair of your own panties! You can clean the clitoral vibe with a sex toy wipe or with a damp cloth and soapy water.  You can simply throw the panties (once you remove the vibrator of course) into the washing machine and was it with your other panties. Which is great if you have roommates, they’ll think it’ s just any other pair of panties – only you will know their dirty lil secret ;) I should also mention that this toy requires two AAA batteries for the vibrator and one 12-volt battery for the remote control. Batteries are included. I thought these panties were so much fun! Definitely not the usual run of the mill sex toy, but a fun little accessory that made me feel sexy and a little bit rebellious (ahem, especially after the weird looks I got in the library…). Plus, the panties are cute, so you can even wear the panties without the vibrator – but once you try it, that probably won’t be likely.
