Review: Tenga Flip Hole Black – Male Masturbator

May 24th, 2011 @ Amber St. Clare

Japan is known for their technology and fashion, but they certainly shine when it comes to male masturbators. The only male masturbator on the market that seriously shows the Fleshlight who’s boss is the Tenga Flip Hole Black. Not only is this masturbator sleek, and stylish, it’s also cleverly designed. It’s affordable, discreet, and super stimulating. I’m a female, but even I was intrigued by this cool toy and couldn’t help but want to take a closer look. Now look at the toy, it looks more like an iPod accessory than a sex toy, right? This is a plus for men, I think, because you could leave it on your nightstand or your desk and chances are no one will know what it is. Not only that, but it’s not anatomical, it doesn’t look like a faux pussy or a mouth, which is a good thing for men who think the idea of sticking it in a fake vagina makes them feel silly. This toy comes in a clear plastic container, and it also comes with 3 Fliphole lotions: Mild, Real, and Wild. Each “lotion” is lubricant with a slightly different feel and texture so you can choose which you like best. Real has the feel and consistency of vaginal lubrication, Mild is a little thicker and is meant to last longer, and Wild is a little sticky in texture and has a different feel than the other two in texture. The design of the toy itself is really cool. See in the photo above, the three gray circles? Those are buttons. No, you don’t stick your dick into them! They aren’t holes meant for poking, but buttons to push while in use to help create suction and depth as you use the toy. This feature is beyond cool, but I’ll get into that later.

In the photo above, you can see the entry of the toy, on the bottom. The opening of the toy is nice and tight, but definitely has a lot of stretch to it to grasp your dick firmly. The material of the toy is soft to the touch, but is also firm and gripping. This particular Flip Hole, the Flip Hole Black, is known to be firmer and more snug than the original Flip Hole. The inner canal of the toy is made of a TPR Silicone material that feels like a jello material, so that it hugs your dick nicely and will fit snugly around the girth of your dick. Look at the entry hole in the photo above, see that seam that goes through the center, that is where the toy opens up! This is how you open it to clean the inside. The cool thing is that upon opening it, you’ll see that the inner canal is on each side, so it’s literally hugging your dick when you slide your cock inside. The inner canal textures a variety of textures: The Waving Ball, which features a ribbed feel and a circular shape, then it goes into the Cross Wall which has light ridges, then it goes to the Brushing Edge which is sightly wider and features a tight opening with fan-like arms that brush the dick. Those textures are on on side of the sleeve (the top or the bottom depending how you hold the toy). The other side features the Moving Ball texture which features two detailed balls that roll against your dick as you slide into the sleeve, then it goes into the Orb Shelter and Core Orb that features a tight area with nubs, then leads into the End orb when your dick meets a soft balled end. You can see the textures shown in the image below.

Cool huh? Not just one or two textures, but *all* of those textures working at one time, each and every time you slid into the toy! To clean the toy, you open it at the seam, wash with hot water and allow to air dry until you use it again, or store it back in the plastic cylinder container. Washing out the inner sleeve is pretty simple, just make sure you let it air dry while open, you don’t want water moisture getting stuck in the toy as it can bring bacteria. You can also use this toy with any water-based lubricant that you want, best not to use silicone lube as it may damage the TPR Silicone material. To lube up, you can apply the lotion/lube in the toy before snapping it closed, you can also apply some to the tip of your cock as you enter the toy. The wetter the better usually, as this makes it feel more life-like and stimulating over the glans of the penis and the shaft of the cock. You can grasp the toy and pump in and out of it, or you can use your thumb on the gray buttons to control the suction and feel of the inner canal. By pressing the buttons you can choose how snugly it grasps your dick, the amount of hard or light suction it provides and it also helps to move the textured chambers inside of the toy.

In the photo above, you can see the toy opened up. See the cool texture inside of the toy? This is also where you rinse the toy out after you’re done using it. Since I’m a chick, and therefore, sans penis, I had to offer up this cool toy to one of my male buddies. Needless to say, he was pretty psyched to try it out and see how it compared to the Fleshlight, which he already owns one of. My friends used the toy for about a week before even letting me know what he thought. I thought maybe he just hadn’t gotten around to using it, or maybe he didn’t like it. Turns out, he loved it! He said the feelings were intense, and he loved the control that the buttons gave him. It took him all week to “test” it a few times ;) He assured me that this is the best masturbator he has ever tried! He said that the different chambers inside of the toy felt like nothing he had experienced before during masturbation with any other sleeve, and that though he’s still rather have sex with a female, the Flip Hole Black made him orgasm harder than he expected and that it’s become his new best friend. He said that he thought it might be complicated to use, he was worried that the gray buttons might be difficult to push or to navigate. He also thought he was supposed to slide his dick into one of the gray buttons when he first saw the toy, then after opening it quickly realized that the opening was at the bottom. In his mad dash to try it out, he apparently overlooked a few things ;) He mentioned that out of all of the lotions, he liked the Real the best, but that he ended up using some of his own go-to lubricant that he usually uses to masturbate. He mentioned that he added more lubricant the more he used the toy to make sure that it stayed slick. He also said that cleaning it out was easy and didn’t take more than a few minutes. He said her liked the style of the sleeve and said that it’s one of the coolest looking male toys that he’s ever seen, and I have to agree. Even though I couldn’t test the toy out myself, I did lube up a few fingers and give it a good once over before gifting it to my friend. I have to say it was beyond squishy and stimulating on my fingers, it was the most realistic masturbator that I have ever fingered! Thats saying something too, since I’ve fingered my fair share of male masturbators sleeves. I really liked the snug feeling, and it felt awesome when it was all wet and lubed up! This is definitely in my list of toys that men should own!

Want to take the Tenga Flip Hole Black for a spin? Tabu Toys is selling it for $99.75 – which is an awesome deal for the feel and the fact that you can re-use this toy over and over to your dick’s content!

DVD Review: Loving Sex The G-Spot & Female Ejaculation

May 20th, 2011 @ Amber St. Clare

Content Warning: This review contains nudity and explicit DVD screenshots, if you’re not 18 years of age or older, please leave this website and go to Scarleteen.com instead.

Ever since reading Deborah Sundahl’s The G-spot and Female Ejaculation book, I’ve been really interested in learning more about just how the G-spot works, and in that, I’ve been fascinated with films and books that showcase females ejaculating. So when I found this awesome Loving Sex DVD from Deborah Sundahl, I thought that after reading her book it only made sense to check out the DVD! The G-spot & Female Ejaculation DVD pretty much covers all the basics for newbies who are just learning about G-spots, or lovers who are interested in female ejaculation, or even those who already ejaculate but want to know more about the process. This DVD is educational, stimulating, and fun to watch. Deborah Sundahl tells us about the G-spot, how it works, where to find it, and reminds us that all women have the ability to find their G-spot and in that, if they choose, have the ability to squirt. The DVD covers the basics of an Introductory explanation of the G-spot, a lesson on how to find and stimulate you (or your partner’s) G-spot, along with how to stimulate the G-spot with a toy, and how to stimulate your G-spot with sex positions that you and your lover can try. I found it all really informative and fun to watch. To me, none of the scenes were boring, instead I remained engaged in watching and have already suggested this DVD to a friend! I’ve watched this DVD twice, and both times I ended up being so aroused that I had to take a break to stimulate my own G-spot! ;)

The DVD features real-life couples (I love love love this fact, nothing about this DVD feels like porn, nor does it feel fake with contrived orgasms) who enjoy the experience of female ejaculation. We see couples who try different sex positions, couples who achieve squirting orgasm through oral/manual sex, and dildo/vibrator masturbation. We also see solo scenes of women who stimulate their G-spots in a variety of ways, all coming to an explosive squirting orgasm. It was so fun to watch each women work her G-spot, and watch her reactions. Some women prefer slower build up and stimulation in more of a milking sensation, while others preferred fast hard pumping. Nearly all of the scenes involving couples were stimulating to me, the couples truly looked in tune and you could tell that the male partners truly enjoyed giving their lady a squirting orgasm. I found this DVD to be very erotic, and the fact that it shows us exactly what a G-spot looks like (not a drawing, an actual G-spot aroused and showing through the vaginal opening!) and just how it reacts to touch, what it feels like from the tail of the G-spot, to how it feels as it engorges and fills with prostatic fluid. Honestly, I can’t say enough about this DVD. A lot of people have the wrong idea of female ejaculation and think it’s urine since it’s expelled through the urethra, but like male ejaculate comes from the urethra of the penis, as does fluid from the female urethra. Semen isn’t urine, nor is female ejaculate. I love that this DVD showcases both knowledge about the G-spot (urethral sponge) and visuals that show female ejaculation in action!

In the above screenshots you can see one couple where the woman is stimulating her G-spot using the Crystal Wand dildo while sitting on her partner’s lap, in the next screenshot is a shot of a couple using a Njoy Pure Wand, the next screenshot is a couple showcasing a sex position that aides in G-spot stimulation, and the last screenshot is a woman ejaculating as her partner helps to stimulate her G-spot. A lot of the couples were really passionate and I found that truly sexy, one of my favorites were the scenes with the couple in the last two screenshots. Their sex was steamy and at one point as he enters her from behind, she gushes female ejaculation all over the floor at their feet. Super hotness! It also has a great scene of a woman masturbating in front of a mirror and she climaxes several times while squirting on the mirror. There is another scene of a woman using a Hitachi Magic Wand with a G-spot attachment who also ejaculates. A few of the couples talk to the camera and explain what they like to do to stimulate the G-spot together. As a female I felt empowered and sexy while watching this DVD, and though I am familiar with G-spot stimulation, I could definitely see women who aren’t familiar with G-spot stimulation truly liking this DVD. It’s an awesome video for women and couples alike.

I can’t gush enough (pun intended) about this DVD, it’s wonderful and I’m so glad I got the chance to check it out. You can find The G-spot & Female Ejaculation DVD at TabuToys.com for only $25. Honestly a great deal for those who are new to G-spot stimulation or those who love it and want to know more!



 

 

Liberator Axis review

March 16th, 2011 @ Amber St. Clare

I adore Liberator shapes. They’re great for both couples and solo play alike. Pair that with a variety of different sex shapes, quality materials, and consistent performance, and it’s reasonable to say that Liberator is at the top of their game. Enter the Liberator Axis. The Axis, is sturdy and comfy, and offers a nice tilted surface for positioning play. An insulated inner shape provides the support and comfortability, while the zip top microfiber cover offers a pleasing look, structure, and easy of use and cleaning. Between the microfiber cover and the inner shape rests a nylon layer that keeps the inner foam layer from becoming soiled or wet, making clean up easy. Not to mention, the microfiber cover can be unzipped and removed for machine washing. So your shape should be safe from lubes, bodily fluids, and other liquids. This specific shape, like other Liberator shapes, is great for both solo and partner play. The Axis is fabulous during masturbation. I love reclining against the Axis while using my favorite vibrator, I also like using the Axis under my legs to elevate my ass and thighs for dildo play. It really makes getting into different positions so much easier, graceful, and comfortable. I love the soft feel of the micofiber, it’s comfy, so comfy in fact that I’ve actually used the Axis as a pillow before ;) It’s a very versatile piece, you see. I’ve also heard of some women using the Axis for pregnancy comfort, as a way to recline and relieve pressure from the back. So while this shape, like other Liberator shapes is meant for play time, it can be used in a variety of ways both sexual and non-sexual.

This shape is great for trying different positions with your partner. You can bend over, lean against, straddle, lift your head, back, or legs all with the Axis. It’s super comfy and sturdy but also soft and pleasing to touch and rest on. This shape fits very nicely against the abdomen in you lay across if, lifting and positioning your bottom for a more comfortable anal sex position. Also great for doggystyle sex! The Axis is more than a glorified pillow, it truly is a piece that helps to relax and make trying new positions easier, so you cna focus on the fun rather than worrying about tiring elbows and backs. The rounded end of the Axis can be slightly lifted and is great for rocking back and forth, which is perfect for thrusting, giving you or your partner a chance for deeper thrusting. The flat edge of the Axis is straight and offers comfort to the back. I like everything about this shape, and the size of this shape makes it easy to store the Axis beneath your bed or in your closet. You can also pair this shape with other Liberator items such as the Throe! The shape is pretty discreet too, chances are if you had this in the corner of your bedroom no one would really know what it was. It doesn’t look overtly sexual in appearance, and would make a good introduction piece to the Liberator line. This sex furniture can be enjoyed and used by males and females, solo or couples, and it comes with a 1 year limited warranty from Liberator too. You can get the Liberator Axis and other sex toys at TabuToys.com, where you can buy the Axis for $150.

LELO Toy of the Week: Nea

March 5th, 2011 @ Amber St. Clare

Lately I’ve been reaching for the LELO Nea when I need to grab a clit toy. Why Nea? Besides the sleek pretty appearance, it’s also discreet, quiet, and offers nice pin-point stimulation. Like other LELO vibrators, this dainty little beauty comes with a limited 1 year warranty, comes wrapped in the sleek LELO signature black gift box, and comes with a satin storage pouch, charger, and user manual. Nea is an oldie but goodies, meaning, it’s one of the first toys LELO created for clitoral stimulation. The body of the toy is feminine, curved to fit the female genital anatomy, and it’s pleasing to the eye. Made of quality body-safe ABS plastic, the surface of Nea’s body is smooth to the touch and glides wonderfully against the skin. This vibe can be used with silicone or water-based lubricant, and it’s not water-proof, but cleaning the toy is fairly easy. I like to wipe it down with an anti-bacterial toy wipe, but if you’re careful a rub down with anti-bacterial soap and water works just fine too, just be sure not to get moisture into the seams of the control buttons or the charging port. Nea is rechargeable, and just a few hours charge offers you up to 7 hours of us depending on what speed setting you use most often. Nea fits in the palm of your hand, and the outside body of the toy is smooth with a pretty detailed design, on the other side, the side used for stimulation, you’ll find two buttons. Super easy to use! The control button on the right turn the toy on and helps you move through the different speed settings, the left button is for moving backward to a previous speed, and also for turning the toy on. Nea is super quiet, and it’s one reason I adore this toy. I may or may not have used this toy in public once or…4 times ;) It’s easy to slide into your panties while sitting in the car, at your computer, or in bed. The buttons are easy to press, and if you press them for 3 seconds simultaneously you can lock the toy, so if doesn’t accidentally turn on in your purse or nightstand. To unlock the toy, you simple press and hold the buttons for another 3 seconds. Charging the toy is a breeze, simply plug the input into the base of the Nea, and the other end into any electrical wall outlet. Nea’s body offers a pointed tip, and a curve that dips downward and then upward. This makes the toy nuzzle nicely against your vulva and clit. I love the fit!

I just recently gave the Nea as a gift to someone, for their very first Lelo toy and they were impressed with the design of the toy and the toys performance! I love holding the pinpointed tip of the toy against my clit, and since the toy is so small, I can even use another toy at the same time, such as the Lelo Elise for internal stimulation. I love that this toy is mild looking, it’s perfect for sex toy newbies! Now, Nea is not my strongest vibration in terms for vibration speed, but it’s still pretty awesome for it’s size, design, and quietness. I like enveloping Nea in my hand and gently massaging it against my pussy in a grinding motion, it feels great, and the sleek body of the ABS plastic of the toy seems to glide over my clit fantastically! I like keeping Nea in my nightstand, and when leaving the house for a weekend, I usually grab Nea to take along with me. One of my favorite things about Lelo toys is that even though their vibration isn’t insanely strong (especially in the earlier Lelo line) the vibration is rumbly and resonates deeply. I’ve had some wonderful orgasms using Nea, and with care, I’ve even used Nea in the shower, just making sure to keep the toy out of the spray of the water. That’s why I chose to showcase the LELO Nea as this week’s Lelo Toy of the Week. Nea, I adore you!

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!

Nina Hartley’s Guide to Female Ejaculation DVD review

September 22nd, 2010 @ Amber St. Clare

Nina was my first. No, not *that* first. My first sex educational DVD! I haven’t reviewed that many DVDs here on Scarlet’s Letter, so I decided it might be cool to share my opinion of a DVD that my readers might enjoy. With all of the There-is-no-Gspot and the Yes-there-is buzz around the internet (By the way, there IS one :P ) I thought it might be cool to feature an instructional DVD that showcases the how and what and where of the G-spot. Now, call me crazy, but I haven’t taken a sex-ed course since high school, and all I can say is that Nina Hartley is way cooler than my old teacher was. If you’re going to be taught some real sex education, might as well let Nina teach you! Nina Nartley, only one of the most popular porn stars of our time, does an awesome job on the DVD of showing us how to locate the G-spot, how to stimulate it, and even what it looks like! (Yes really…I’ll get to that later though!) The DVD Nina Hartley’s Guide to Female Ejaculation begins with a little chat with Nina and her sidekick who tells us a little background info on the Gspot and how it’s talked about as an elusive spot, but really, it can be found with patience and the right tools. Then Nina introduces us to porn star Anna Mills, who will be her little G-spot guinea pig ;) Anna gets comfy in her chair, and Nina goes on to talk about Anna’s genitals, showing us the clit, her vulva, and vaginal opening. Nina tells us that she’s going to stimulate Anna, to get her nice and warmed up for G-spot play. She proceeds to give Anna oral sex, and tease her clit with toys, and use some other sex toys on her clit and vagina. Nina is fun to watch! She talks to both Anna, and to the viewer. She tries to explain each thing that she is doing.

Then she does something kind of cool and totally unexpected…she shows us what the G-spot looks like! No, I’m not talking about a drawing, or an acrylic model. I mean, she uses a speculum to open Anna’s vagina, and actually shows us the inside of her vagina! She points out to us a slightly rounded spot on the upper vaginal wall, and tells us that is the G-spot. She touches it lightly and Anna squirms a little from excitement. Then Nina tells us that she’s going to help Anna ejaculate! Female ejaculation, is not urine contrary to popular belief. It’s fluid from the urethral sponge that fills and engorges with sexual stimulation which can create seriously intense orgasms and yes, sometimes, squirting! Nina uses her fingers of Anna’s G-spot using a “come here” motion, she also uses sex toys on Anna’s G-spot such as the popular Njoy Pure Wand, Anna even remarks how much her G-spot likes that toy ;) After Nina works Anna’s G-spot for awhile Anna squirts a small amount, and the camera zooms in to show the fluid begin to trail down Anna’s vulva. Anna then uses the G-spot toy (Pure Wand) on herself , the camera zooming in on the action, and we see Anna’s genitals contract as she squirts! She squirts several more times from working her pussy with the contoured G-spot sex toys. It was really fun to watch! it did feel educational as well as arousing.

Then we are introduced to sex scene involving two porn stars who start with a little foreplay, and then soon go into intercourse. We see them having sex in different positions, and we get to see female ejaculation happen during sex! Really cool to watch. I think this DVD would be fun for those who like to squirt or are curious about squirting. This DVD gives some great tips on where adn how to find your G-spot, how your lover can stimulate your G-spot, and also how female ejaculation looks as it happens live. Highly recommended to men also, if they’d like to learn some tips on how they can help their partner have a squirting orgasm.

You can buy Nina Hartley’s Guide to Female Ejaculation for $24.95 at TabuToys.com, they also carry a variety of different sex toys, and their shipping is both fast and discreet.

Aneros Helix – Male G-Spot stimulator

June 7th, 2010 @ Amber St. Clare

Even though I don’t have a prostate, I’ve always been interested in anal stimulators that are marketed toward men to achieve P-spot orgasms. Anal toys can be enjoyed by men and women, obviously, but I think it’s pretty awesome that more and more sex toys are coming out on the market for men to enjoy. Aneros ha created toys with men in mind and they offer a variety of anal vibrators. I recently got my hands on the Aneros Helix and was pretty excited to check it out. see it pictured above? Strange looking, right? It looks more like it came out of the movie Alien, rather than a toy that someone would slide up their ass. Don’t let the shape fool you though, it has a purpose! Helix is made of a smooth material that is body-safe and feels nice against the skin. At the base of the toy, you’ll notice a small little “arm” that is used to insert, remove, and anchor the toy. It also helps to massage the perineum. The shaft of the toy starts out thin and works its way up to a larger size, along with a strange shaped contour that is meant to enhance anal pleasure and in males, stimulate the male G-spot (the prostate gland). The head of the Helix measures in at 1 1/16″ and it offers 4″ of insertable area.

Many men use the Aneros Helix to enjoy more intense orgasms, while the toy teases and pleases their P-spot. The toy is hands free, which leaves a man with free hands to stroke his dick, or to play with a partner and have his partner pleasure him with hand, mouth, or pussy/ass. So this toy can easily be used for a solo experience or for a little added fun for couples play. I really like the feel of the toy and the size. The cool thing about the shape of the shape is that the way the anal cavity holds the toy inside helps the Helix to naturally and easily stimulate the male P-spot. While the arm on the bottom massages the perineum(the area of skin between the ass and the balls). When I slid the toy into my own ass, I found that the shape made it easier to slide into place inside of my butt. Also I liked the curved head a lot! Even without a prostate, my ass was hugging the toy just right and helping to add to my masturbation experience. I even held a vibrator to the base of the Helix and could feel the vibrations up and down the shaft of the Aneros. I’m a female and even I was getting off hard with this toy! I had a talk with a male who owns this toy and he said his orgasms are explosive with the Aneros Helix. Which really makes me want more male opinions of the toy…Guys, have you tried it? Do you like it? Do tell. Feel free to email me with your experiences.

Pjur Eros Aqua Lubricant

May 25th, 2010 @ Amber St. Clare

I’d always been curious to try lubricant from the German brand Pjur. I was browsing their selection of lubes, and though their original silicone formula sounded fabulous, I’m definitely a girl who loves water-based lubricant. For it’s performance, how it plays well with toys, and for easy clean up. So when I saw Pjur Eros Aqua Lubricant in the gender neutral Blue/Black bottle, I knew I had to try it! The lube is 100% water based, is safe for condom use, is FDA approved, and is dermatologist tested. The only downside is that it has glycerin in it, and I usually try to stay away from glycerin based lubes. Unfortunately a lot of lubes on the market use that ingredient, so I wasn’t too shocked to see it listed in the ingredients. The bottle is a nice size, and I like the design and label of it, it’s a lubricant that men or women can confidently use. I like the formula of this stuff! The feel of the lube is sleek and smooth, similar to a silicone lube, but without the actual silicone as an ingredient. I found that a little went a long way, and the scent was rather plain and not too noticeable. I first used this lubricant on my fingers, and found that it mixed nicely with my own natural wetness as I touched my pussy. Next up I tried it on a silicone clit vibrator and found that it was a nice pair with this lube! I then used a glass dildo and used it with this lube. This was the test for me, if this lube stood up well during insertion and fucking of a toy, I knew it would be a keeper. Yay, it did! This stuff lasted long and didn’t seem to dry out my vag. I’m a bit of a lube snob, so I’m always glad when i find a lube that works well in many different situations. I would think that this lube would be perfect for men also for use with a masturbation sleeve or a hand. Get your own 3.4 oz bottle of Pjur Eros Aqua Lubricant for $16.95 at TabuToys.com!

Aloe Cadabra organic lubricant

April 28th, 2010 @ Amber St. Clare

I really like products that contain aloe. I often use raw aloe, and aloe vera gel for many things. So when I heard about a new organic lubricant called Aloe Cadabra, I knew I wanted to try it. The product design is basic and to the point, no flashy graphic, just a squeeze bottle container with a pretty product sticker that that product is made form 95% organic aloe. I like the understated packaging, and I like the idea of using aloe on my girlybits, since it works so well for other parts of the body. The 2.5 oz bottle of lubricant is pretty full of product, and the formula is very smooth. I can feel the aloe in it, it’s nourishing and very smooth to the touch. This all-natural lube contains no petroleum, glycerin, parabens, or other icky ingredients. Instead, Aloe Cabadra is made from Aloe vera gel, xantham gum, citric acid, potassium sorbate, sodium benzoate, and vanilla essential oil. The lubricant is condom friendly, and works on silicone, and any other sex toys. If you have sensitive skin and tend to react to other lubes, this one may be worth a try. It’s rare for me to find lubes that truly contain no parabens, or glycerin. This lubricant’s ingredients are pretty pure for the most part. Aloe has anti-inflammatory properties, which means that this lube does also, so it’s also ideal for any women out thee that may experience vaginal dryness. I found that this lubricant is pretty long lasting, it has a light fragrance that is pleasant to smell, it’s tasteless, and it’s made with food grade ingredients, so it’s okay to get it in your mouth, if you plan on using this lubricant for oral sex. The formula is meant to mimic the body’s natural lubrication and be long lasting. I found that the formula is pretty great. I actually tried putting aloe vera gel on my clit before, after a seriously hardcore weekend with the Hitachi Magic Wand, and I found that straight aloe vera gel on the clit isn’t such a good thing, it leaves a white film on the pussy and it made me clit extra sensitive (and not in the good way). So I’m sort of thrilled that the good people that created Aloe Cadabra figured out the proper way to use aloe as a lubricant ingredient. This lube is a keeper! Get your own bottle of Aloe Cadabra lubricant at Tabu Toys for $10. This lube is highly affordable, considering comparable lubes are often more expensive and are full of chemicals you don’t really want to use on your genitals. Way to go, Aloe Cadabra (cute name by the way), this lube rocks!

Doc Johnson White Nights Pleasure Kit

April 20th, 2010 @ Amber St. Clare

Night in white satin…nights with white sex toys! When I saw this Doc Johnson White Nights Pleasure Kit at Tabu Toys I knew I had to try it out. The kit comes with 4 vibrators: a slimline vibrator, a pocket rocket vibrator, a egg vibe, and a little bottle of White Nights massage oil. Everything you need for a nice little night of self-love, or to share with a partner for a steamy rendezvous. Each vibrator is made of soft smooth ABS plastic and velvet cote. The egg vibrator requires 2 AA batteries, and it offers nice stimulation for clitoral or vaginal use. I actually really liked the egg vibe, it’s cute, and it offers deep vibration. The slimline vibe is made of hard plastic and offers the twist end cap to change vibration modes. It’s a pretty basic vibe, but I like that it can be used internally to give me a more fuller feeling, something the other two vibes can’t do. It rquires 2 AA batteries also. I adore the Pocket Rocket, it’s cute, it’s discreet, and only requires 1 AA battery. It offers one speed, with metal nubs that vibrate against the clit. It’s a vibe that a lot of women start out with, and for good reason. I’ve actually given Pocket Rocket vibes to friends as gifts, for most, it was their first sex toy and it got them hooked! ;) The Tuberose scented massage oil is light and fragrant. It smells nice and glides on the skin well. This would be an awesome gift for a couple! I had fun just suing the kit and testing each item out myself, but I think it would have been so much more fun to check out with a lover. This kit is great for sex toy beginners, who maybe don’t know what type of vibrator they want. The White Nights Pleasure Kit is affordable too, and offers a lot of variety. I like this cute little kit, even the packaging is sexy and cute. Doc Johnson, this kit is awesome, nice job, I’d like to see more kits like this in the future. You can try this kit out for yourself for only $49.97 at TabuToys.com. If you bought all 4 of these toys separately it would cost more money than that, so this really is an ideal value.
