Fleshlight Freaks

For out of this world Fantasies

Once I’d seen the cool Avatar Alien Fleshlight I just HAD to have one… the fact I am sans penis really didn’t factor into the equation. Want is Want and I was over the moon when I finally got one… but now Fleshlight have released an etire new line of freaky out of this world sex toys that cater to both sexes – that’s right, Fantasy Fleshlights with matching freaky Dildos, perfect for the couple who has everything.

My much loved Avatar Fleshlight now has a sexy, blue Alien dildo to create the perfect Naiivian pair. Not just boys want to have sex with big blue Aliens you know. It’s quite a realistic dildo, something I’m not a big fan of, but being bright Alien Avatar blue takes it far enough out of this world for me to scream WANT!!

You can get this Alien sex toy duo as a set or you can purchase the dildo and fleshlight seperately from the Fleshlight.com store

I know that lots of people visit my site looking for Alien sex toys, but honestly, Aliens are only the beginning of the Fleshlight Freaks line of sex toys.

Introducing The Fleshlight Freaks

Ever wanted to fuck a mindless zombie, or cop a feel of a cyborg? Well ok, so flesh falling of mindless corpses, and artificial intelligence aren’t the sexiest things I can think of in the world, but damn these are some funky cool sex toys.

Released just in time for the halloween crowd the Fleshlight freaks line consists of 10 freakishly themed sex toys – 5 fleshlights each with their own similarly themed dildos crafted from platinum cured silicone. There is the already mentioned Avatar inspired Alien pair along with 4 more freaky Fantasy duos, Frankenstein, Zombie, Cyborg and my personal favourite the Vamp.

I haven’t been lucky enough to see any of the new freaky sex toys in the flesh so I really can’t comment on them, but I can share these pretty damn cool images of the fleshlight freaks line.

I can’t help but wonder how much cooler the Vampire inspired Drac fleshlight would be if it too were blood red.

Currently you can save 15% off any purchase from the Fleshlight.com store as well as get free shipping¹

I’m off to dream sweet dreams about blood red Vampire inspired cocks.

L’Amour Seduction Vibrator – Sex Toy Review

This month’s Cal Exotics sexpert review is for the L’amour Seduction vibrator – a dual stimulation vibrator that looks absolutely nothing like a rabbit – or any other animal for that matter – thank god! Sadly though the lack of animal reference isn’t enough to salvage this toy and land it in any decent position within my toy box.

The Important Info

Manufacturer: California Exotics

Materials: Silicone covered body with hard ABS plastic base

Powered By: 2 x AAA Batteries

Size: Overall Length 8″, shaft is 5″ long with a 4.25″ girth. The clitoral arm is around 2.25″ long and 2.75″ around

Colors: Baby Blue, Pastel Pink and a light lilac purple

Lube Compatibility: Water based is always best with Silicone and you need a lot with this toy

Vibration settings: 7 different vibration settings – 3 levels of intensity + 4 patterns that are cycled through using just one control button

Other Features: Waterproof and has dual motors

Price: RRP $55.99

Review

I’ve reviewed quite a few rabbit vibrators now and tried even more – more than I can recall to be honest and this is going to be one of the ones I don’t remember. It has a few features I like, but then the same features have some negative drawbacks which leaves it in a bit of a no mans land for me. Sure I can see that it might be a great vibrator for some, but not me.

The things I do like about it include how easy it is to use. It features a 2 button only interface that’s intuitive to use. One button switches the toy on and off – great for those who live in places that aren’t masturbation friendly zones, who may need an instant off switch if invaded by kids or room mates. The second button cycles through the 7 different vibration settings. The first 3 are low, medium and high constant vibrations, which are followed by 4 patterns.

Now as I said some of the things I love also have negative drawbacks – the easy 2 button interface doesn’t allow me to take any control over the dual motors that are placed at the base of the clitoral arm and at the tip of the shaft. If I’ve got two power sources I want to be able to manipulate and enjoy them both, and not just in a synchronised buzz.

It is rather quiet, one of the selling points of the toy – but sadly what you give up in noise you also loose in power. I found that even on the high settings I couldn’t feel the internal vibrations and the ones on my clit were quite buzzy and difused at the surface rather than travelling deep into the pleasurable points under the skin.

It’s a good length, no uterus stabbing action going on and it is incredibly flexible. The issue is the wrong part of the toy is doing the flexing. The shaft can be easily bent back 180 degrees, whereas the clitoral arm, the piece that needs to be flexible to create a range of intensities to suit the user as well as to adjust to their anatomy is almost rock hard. With even just some mild thrusting it felt like I was trying to sandpaper my clit with a screwdriver. An issue that no amount of lube seemed to abate.
To top it all off it comes in that dreadfully crappy, signature cal exotics packaging. The clear plastic container that never stays closed and gets crushed ridiculously easyily during transport.

So this isn’t a vibe I’m going to tell friends about or really reccommend full stop. It’s just so – blah. Or what my kid calls ‘Meh’. It’s a bit of a nothing that will fall to the bottom of a toy box and get forgotten about, or put in the pile for donation to the vibratorless out there. I want to give it just a single star, but the fact that its sterilisable and could possibly go on to find a home that may appreciate it I’ll crumble and stretch it to two stars. A just barely 2 stars though.

Help Wanted

As sex bloggers and toy reviewers most of the women within my little corner of the web regularly discuss things that are considered to be somewhat taboo – G- Spots, P – Spots, squirting orgasms, anal sex and even santorum! One of the reasons I love the community that I blog and review within is because of how open, honest and unabashed it is.

However there’s one subject we don’t talk about much and that’s periods. For some reason all things sexual are up for discussion these days but menstruation is still stuck in that big closet marked taboo. For some reason although every woman experiences it it remains a subject we barely discuss, let alone discuss in detail. When I think of all the other things I read and write about it seems about time we haul periods out of that closet and discuss them openly like adults without shame or embarassment.

This realisation led me on a journey about the internet where I learned some pretty amazing as well as truly weird stuff, some of which I really want to share. I also found some people that are discussing the topic in a multitude of different ways that I’d like to share and support.

Did you know that the average woman looses 16 litres of blood during their periods? That’s like having your body drained 3 times over. Or that there were more options than just tampons and pads? Or that in some parts of the world girls are missing out on getting a complete education because of their period? After 20 years of periods I thought I knew everything there was to know about them – I couldn’t have been more wrong.

So I decided to put together a bunch of posts that in one way or another are linked to the topic of menstruation, some funny, some educational and some are even sad. I’ll be publishing them all over the next month which I have dubbed – “Red October“

I’ve gotten in touch with a number of fabulous companies and have secured some fantastic sponsors who have sent me numerous products to review and share with you along with discount coupons for products and several really great prizes that will be up for grabs throughout this month that I’m going to celebrate all things red.

For it to be a true discussion though it  needs to involve more than just me rambling on so I’m extending an invite to everyone and anyone who may be interested in talking about periods, whether you write something on your own blog or send it to me to post here.

You can write about whatever you want as long as it somehow links back to the subject, be it the story of your first period, some ancient secret ritual you know of to prevent pms, your opinion or experience of sex whilst having your period, or even a product review. It can also take whatever form you wish, go and get your creative hat on. Any type of media is fine as long as it can be shared over the net. Also it isn’t restricted to just us girls – I really want some guys to find the courage and discuss the subject as well.

I’ve created my own funky little graphics that you can use to link back to the main post that will go Live at the start of the month and their will be a linky thing so that you can add your posts to it and share the link juice love. I’ve even got an extra special basket of goodies that will get given away to one of the contributors.

So if you are game and think you are up for the challenge let me know you can email me or just comment here. Posts will kick off early next week, but will continue throughout the whole month.

Red October Sponsors include:

Pico Bong has Landed

LELO’s new Funky Line of sex toys

I love just about everything LELO so I was pretty excited when  I first learned that the team behind LELO were creating a new brand – Pico Bong! And despite what some might think the name has nothing to do with pot and it has no real meaning according to the brand manager. .

Pico Bong has just been launched this month with a line of 6 sex toys that come in really fun colors, including a sexy shade of Violet and Turquoise! The designs are young and adventurous and very in keeping with the brand’s 20-30 something demographic. A style that is echoed in the Pico Bong website.

The 6 sex toys from Pic Bong range cover most of the basic types of vibrators we all know and love. Each piece also has a made up, wack-a-doodle name that fits in with the crazy, slightly zany brand name: Mohana, Honi, Kiki, Ipo, Koa and Tano

The Pico Bong brand is all about sex toys that are youthful, fun and easy to use, whilst remaining affordable and delivering the quality we have grow to expect from its sibling brand.

Personally from what I have already seen of the line they look as though they could become the go to brand for those taking their first steps into the world of sex toys as they are very affordable whilst also having the premium quality we have come to expect from LELO.

The Pico Bong Line Up

MAHANA Duo Vibe – quite similar in shape to my favourite couple’s sex toy the we vibe, the Mohana isn’t designed for couple’s use, rather its like a C shaped rabbit. It’s by far the toy I’m most drawn to from the starting line up and I can’t wait to get my hands – and other parts of mt anatomy on it.

HONI Mini Vibe – A cute little elongated egg slash bullet with a look very similar to the new LELO Insignia Lyla. It could easily be worn inside the vagina, just like an egg as it has a string for retreival, but Im sure it would also function well as a bullet.

KIKI C Vibe – at first I was what the F is a C-Spot. I know the G-Spot the P-Spot and even the A-spot, but C-Spot initially stumped me until I figured they meant the clit. Kiki Looks like a bullet style clit vibe with a fone tuned tapered head designed to provide more intense ibes over a larger area.

IPO Finger Vibe – Not 100% sure why one would want a vibrator to attatch to their finger when they could just use a bullet, but I guess an experienced partner could use it to add the vroom to their digital stimulation, whether it be on a partner or themselves.

KOA Ring Vibe – Pretty sure its meant to be worn by the guy as a cock ring type of thing with the curled end wrapping around the shaft and the body of the toy resting upagainst his pubic bone, aimed towards the sky, which would allow a female partner tp grind against it – but thats just my thoughts. It reminds me of the new LELO Insignia Oden in its shape and purpose, but similarities should be expected in sibling brands – let’s just hope theirs no inbreeding going on!

TANO Plug Vibe – The wind surfing butt plug! What more could you want from an anal sex toy than the ability to go wind sirfing huh??

The entire range are made out of 100% body safe silicone and ABS plastic that’s free of Phthalates, latex and all the other nasties one wants to avoid. They are powered by AA batteries and claim to be able to run for 2hours on just one, which is pretty efficient. All 6 are waterproof – Which is pretty important for sex toys that like to go wind surfing and diving! They are also govered by a full year

I know I get easily excited over new sex toys but I think Pico Bong has a lot to offer. Where LELO has become synonomous with luxury I think Pico Bong will become known for fun and funky designs, quality without all the expensive extras that not everyone needs.

But the coolest part about the Launch of Pico Bong is GULP!

Win a brand new sex toy from the Pico Bong line up.

So GULP! is like pacman – except its for sex toys. It’s a pretty fun, highly addictive flash game where you chomp your way around the screen as the Mahana duo vibe eating up little white pellets as well as the other 5 toys from the line. Each time you collect the full 5 without running into a dark chomping monster you start a new level. It’s pretty darn easy to pick up!

It really does pay to play as each week for the following 6 weeks Pico Bong are giving away a different toy each week to the person with that weeks highest scroe on Gulp! I’d tell you my highest score, but then again I really don’t want anyone beating me

The Prizes for each week are:

September 19-25: HONI Mini Vibe
September 26-October 2: KOA Ring Vibe
October 3-9: MAHANA Duo Vibe
October 10-16: TANO Plug Vibe
October 17-23: IPO Finger Vibe
October 24-30: KIKI C Vibe

At the moment the toys are still on their way to the stores – possibly they stopped off in Hawaii for a beach break! But they will soon be available to purchase directly from the Pico Bong site, after which I’ll hopefully get my hands on one to review for y’all. To stay up to date on all things PicoBong you can follow them on twitter and find them on facebook too.

Til then I’m off to kick some ass in GULP!

EDIT: the entire Pico Bong range have now made ot to the stores and the entire range are now available from Eden Fantasys, click on the toy you are interested in below and it will take you to their product page at EdenFantasys.com

We Vibe 3 on its way

My Favourite Couples Sex Toy is Getting ReVamped

My We Vibe 2 is by far my favourite couples sex toy, it kicks ass in so many ways. When it came out is was absolutely revolutionary, there was nothing even close to its functionality on the maeket. Over the years since the first we vibe was released a number of other companies have used it for “inspiration” for their own couple’s sex toys, and some have even completely ripped it off! But they do say immitation is the highest form of flattery.

Anyway We Vibe have revamped and updated the worlds #1 couple’s sex toy and the new We Vibe 3 will soon be released onto the market.

The one major issue I’ve had with my we vibe is how difficult it is to change the vibration setting during use. With the charging port and control buttons sitting right at the tip of the toy I find that it nestles too deeply between my labia for me to access it – which kind of defeats the purpose. I know that with some womens anatomy this isn’t an issue, but for me it is. In my original review I even commented that having a wireless remote control would make the we vibe so much better – and I’m glad to see that it’s an idea they’ve worked into the latest release. But that’s not the only improvements that they have made.

The New Features include:

• Waterproof
• 40% Extra Power
• Wireless Remote Control
• Wireless Charger Bse
• Travel Case
• 6 different Vibration Patterns
• Available in the the “new” we vibe colors. Purple, Teal and Ruby Red

The 40% extra power is what impresses me most. My clit of steel already enjoys the strength of the we vibes 2nd incarnation, so 40% extra is an exciting promise.

But its the one thing I wanted most that gives me doubts.

Wireless remote controlled sex toys are notorious for weak signals that don’t even get close to the claimed signal range, but I really do hope that the we vibe 3 comes close to its promoted reach of around 3metres or 10 feet. The remote looks sleek and sexy, but that says nothing about how well it works, I can’t wait to get my hands on one to find out!

They have cut the vibration patterns back from 9 to 6, but the ones they have kept are definitely the best ones. The Cha Cha patterns rocks my world. The same little ridges that rub against the clit, creating the extra bit of oomph to tip me over the edge are still there – which is something none of the other knock offs have tried to repeat, which I find odd as the ridges are one of the important features that makes the we vibe such an awesome toy.

As for the way it charges and its travel case – I won’t comment on them until I’ve seen and experienced them for myself. For  the 3rd generation of the we vibe to be waterproof they obviously needed to remove the tiny charging hole in the tip of the toy, but I would’ve thought they would use a magnetic charger connection similar to what they have used with the Tango, Salsa and Touch. So I’m looking forward to seeing how this charging base come travel case functions.  I never thought it needeOne thing is for sure though, the new case will make charging it far more discreet. Here’s hoping it comes pre-charged – something that was a real let down with the we vibe 2.

Just like its predecessor it is made from body safe silicone and comes in the three “new” we vibe colors, the traditional purple, A Sleek Teal and Ruby Red which funnily enough I prefer over the teal!

As a reviewer I don’t tend to pay for sex toys toys too often, but the we vibe2 is the one I’m happy I shelled out for. For me its been worth its weight in gold, so number 3 can’t get here quick enough.

LELO Insignia Tiani – Sex Toy Review

LELO Insignia Tiani With SenseMotion™ Wireless Remote Control

I was rather excited to learn a few weeks ago that LELO would be adding three news couple’s sex toys to the already impressive Insignia collection. I love my Insignia Soraya to death, so I couln’t wait to try out one of the 2nd generation of Insignia toys and the clit hugging Tiani certainly seemed to be the toy best suited to my sex toy tastes.

I absolutely love the SenseMotion remote, but its ability to communicate with the Tiani really lets it down. There was some major #FAIL attatched to this toy, most of which is attributed to the signal from the remote.

The Important Info

Manufacturer: LELO

Materials: Really soft, luxurious, velvety silicone with a metalic gold ABS plastic accent, which is also used on the back of the remote control unit – the same materials found in the other Insignia vibrators.

Size: The remote is 2.5″ across  and 7/8″ thick, the toy itself is a lot harder to measure. Pulled out straight it is around 6″ long, 3.5″ of that is the clitoral vibrator portion with the remaining 3″ being the arm that holds it in place. At its widest point the clitoral vibe is 1.35″ wide with a 3.5″ circumference. The fattest portion of the arm that sits inside the vagina is  around 0.75″ with a 2″ circumference – its big enough to hold the toy in place whilst still being small enough to go almost un-noticed by your partner during intercourse.

Colors: Tiani is available in the black that I have as well as the Deep Rose seen in the promo images.

Power Source: The remote takes 2xAAA batteries which are included, the toy itself is rechargeable, with a 2hr charging time giving 10 hours of use.

Controls: Like the other two new Insignia vibes, Oden and Lyla, the Tiani is controlled via a remote that uses LELO’s new SenseMotion™ technology, but there’s more on that below.

Lube Compatibility: Water based only, silicone lube may damage the beautifully textured silicone of the Tiani.

Other Features: Waterproof, SenseMotion™ technology, 1 yearfull warranty, 10 year quality guarantee, It arrives fully charged with the batteries needed for the remote along with a satin storage pouch. If purchased from LELO it will come with the correct kind of charger for your country – no need for annoying power socket adapters.

Price: RRP $199AU @LELO – US$159 @EdenFantasys

 So What is Tiani?

The Tiani itself is a wearable, remote controlled clitoral vibrator with a shape that’s somewhat reminiscent of the we vibe. Tiani is designed to be a couple’s sex toy, but it doesn’t rule out some fun solo play. It has a very flexible arm that slides inside the vagina in order to hold the outer vibrating arm against the clitoris. This internal arm is just there to hold it in place rather than vibrate on the inside pf the body. As far as I can tell the Tiani is the only remote control clitoral vibe available on the market.¹ It’s a versatile little toy that can be played with  solo, worn during intercourse or used for some kinky remotely controlled thrills by a couple.

The thing that really seperates the Tiani, as well as the other two new Insignia toys, Oden and Lyla, from any others on the market is how they are controlled.They use LELO’s new, patented SenseMotion™ technology which translates movement in the remote into vibration patterns within the toy. Differing gestures, movements and angles create different vibration strengths as well as pulsations and patterns. Which leads us to the question …

What is SenseMotion™?

The function of the Tiani is rather awesome but the awesome sauce gravy is the way it is controlled using LELO’s groundbreaking, body shaking SenseMotion™ technology. It is a little bit like a PS3, or Wii controller, controlled by movements and gestures rather than just buttons, it even includes sensory feedback like the rumble pack of PS3 controllers.

The way you move, tilt and angle the remote controls the way that the sex toy responds. Holding it flat it runs at 10% intensity but as you tilt it the intensity ramps up, reaching 100% when it is held upright.  At the same time the remote mimics the vibrations of the toy creating a synchronized sensory experience between the two partners.

When holding the toy in one hand and manipulating the remote with the other it was a very uncanny experience. Even the smallest of movements with the remote caused the toy to react. It’s a difficult sensation to explain, but it’s absolutely awesome!

When in use I could feel the gestures of the remote being recreated within the toy. I discovered this little flick, that if done just right, makes the vibrations travel from the gold section of the toy right up to the tip. This created a sensation similar to a vibrating tongue licking the clit. It doesn’t come close to the real thing, but the sensation was definitely similar. There is a bit of a learning curve with this revolutionary toy and its remote, but the SenseMotion™ technology really does provide imediate sensory feedback, further linking the wearer and the one with the control.

The Review

Packaging

In true LELO style everything about this toy, from the packaging, to the finish and even the instructions carry an air of sophistication and luxury. Just like the rest of the Insignis line the packaging consdists of an outer, glossy cardboard box which contains the thick, high quality, matte black box that contains the toy and everything else that goes with it.

The Toy and the remote sit on a shelf, held in place by soft velvet coveredwith cut outs to hold the pieces in place safely during transport. This is also where your gold Insignia brooch lays. To the side there is a lift up section where the charger is located. There’s also a secret little compartment that lies under the top shelf that holds the toy and its remote, I call it secret because it took me forever to find it!

Included in the package you receive the following:

• The Tiani massager
• The wireless remote control along with the gold plastic back plate
• A special little key (see below)
• A charger(type dependant on country you order from)
• A satin storage pouch
• A sample of LELO personal moisturizer that is glycerine & paraben free
• An Instruction manual covering the 3 new Insignia toys
• A 1 year Warranty
• A 10 year Quality Guarantee

The Remote

The smooth, button shaped, wireless remote unit is shaped to fit perfectly within the palm of the hand. The front side is covered in the same sleek, velvety silicone as the toy and the seperate back plate is made from gold, metallic ABS plastic. It operates using 2 AAA size batteries that come included, which is something I love, and in this price bracket I think it is expected that everything should be included.

Once you’ve put the batteries in you use the special key to twist and lock the back plate into position. They recommend that you not use coins or knives etc to do this – and other objects I tried failed, so if you loose your special key you are in trouble!

The Secret Key

I spent the first 5 or 10 minutes trying to work out how to get the gold plastic back to stay attatched to the remote. When I couldn’t solve it I went looking for the instructions which were hidden away in a secret little compartment under where the toy laid in the box that you access via the section where the charger sits. As I emptied out the booklets and satin storage bag this funky little bit of plastic came out. I had no idea what it was until I actually took a look at the instructions – It’s a cool little doo dad that fits into the notch on the golden backplate so that you can twist it into a locked position, or un-lock it to remove the batteries. Which reminds me, I strongly recommend that you remove the remote batteries in between uses as they could easily leak and destroy your fabulous new toy.

The buttons & Vibration Patterns

The remote features three different buttons, minus -, brackets (), and plus +.

+ switches the remote on and - switches it off. + & - also adjust the intensity of the vibrations when it is used in any of the 6 pre-programmed vibration patterns.

The center () button controls the vibration mode and it cycles through them in the following order:

•     SenseMotion mode 1 – A 2 axis mode where the tilt or angle that the control is held in sets the intensity. Moving it on the two axis’ can take it from 10% power when held flat, right up to 100% when held in an upright position.
•     SenseMotion Mode 2 – This is the really fun one where every movement gets translated into vibrations and pulses. It’s a LOT of fun to play around with it and see what movements do what, which gestures you enjoy and which angles provide you with your perfect intensity. The possibilities in this mode are virtually endless.
•     Mode 3 – Continuous Vibration with over 10 intensities (that I could tell)
•     Mode 4 – long On, short off pulsation pattern
•     Mode 5 – Quick on, Quick off, fast pulsation pattern
•     Mode 6 – A very quick, mini ramping pattern
•     Mode 7 – A  much slower ramping pattern that rises and resets itself every 4 or 5 seconds
•     Mode 8 – Best described as a random ramping and pulsating pattern. It’s quite unique

One of the beauties of the SenseMotion remote is that the vibrations created in the toy are also echoed in the remote, which virtually turns the remote into a vibrator as well. Not only giving sensory feedback to the control holder, it can also be used as a vibrator for them as it has really strong vibrations and feels great wwhen held against most of the bodies erogenous zones. It is a bit of a jack hammer though!

The Tiani itself is discreet and quiet, easy to use in public, but the remote rumbles like a tractor. Thankfully LELO have thought of this and programmed it so that you can switch of the vibrations in the remote, turning off the attention grabbing sounds. To switch of the vibrations in the remote simply hold down the middle () button for 3 seconds. To switch them back on you just repeat the same thing.

There is also a travel lock option which just requires you to hold down both the plus + and minus – button for three seconds to both lock and unlock the remote. This is the same as other LELO Insignia vibratotrs.

The Tiani

The Tiani has a shape that is reminiscent of the we vibe, a flexible two armed vibrator that can be worn by a woman. The larger end with the golden strip is the vibrating one, the slightly shorter, much slimmer arm is the one that slides inside the vagina and keeps it snuggly in place. It’s a versatile little toy that can be played with  solo, worn during intercourse or used for some kinky remotely controlled thrills by a couple.

For it to work you need to switch it on and create the wireless conection between it and the remote. Once your remote is switched on you press down a small button on the front of the toy for a second – you should then see a small orange light flashing which indicates it is searching for the remote – which they refer to as seek mode. It can take a few seconds for the connection to be made, but once it does you should feel a very slight vibration in the toy.

From here you can go for it and explore the thousands of different patterns possible with the Sense Motion controller.

 I was quite surprised that when using the sense motion setting and the remote, the vibrations seemed to move about within the vibrating arm. A bit like the remote was a magnet for the vibrations making them move up and down the length of my clit- which is pretty darn orgasmic!

I think the vibrations could definitely be more rumbley, they are way too light and buzzy for my clit of steel that likes everything turned up to eleven! However I really enjoyed using it along with other toys such as my Eleven as it almost turns it into a rabbit vibe by giving me the dual stimulation that I love so much.

The downside of Tiani  is that it doesn’t work without the remote. So If you loose the special, secret key, or your out of AAA batteries you can’t play with it, and if you completely loose the remote… well you are up the creek really. To me that’s a pretty big downside.

I also had a few issues with the toy not picking up the remote’s signal. If it moved out of range Tiani would cut out until the remote came back in rage again. Which was pretty bad, just holding the remote above my head whilst lying down made it cut out. The signal doesn’t travel through flesh well, thankfully I didn’t have the same issue whilst I was standing up and moving around. I think the quoted 12 foot range might be a little exaggerated, especially for the SenseMotion to work. I’d say 5-6feet feet would be a better estimate.

Recharging

Rather than having a tiny porthole like the other Insignia vibrators, the Tiani unscrews and comes apart in 2 pieces to expose the port within the vibrating arm of the toy. The charger simply plugs into this point. Whilst it is charging the little orange light in the toy will flash. It takes only 2 hours to fully charge the toy, and once it is fully charged the light will stop flashing and just glow orange.

It is worth noting that you can use any LELO charger with any LELO toy – they are all the interchangeable. For anyone like me that’s forever getting chargers mixed up, the LELO chargers have a tiny “MLF” logo on the miniature label.

Cleaning

Being waterproof the Tiani is very easy to clean and care for. A simple wash with warm water and disinfecting soap will work fine, but I’ve begun to prefer using toy wipes to quickly clean my toys after use which works just as easily.

The seal on the remote may not be waterproof, so my recommendation would be to wipe it over with a damp cloth rather than submerging it.No part of this toy should be boiled or put through the dishwasher as that will just fry the electrical components!

For storage you can either stick with the box it arrives in, or store it in the satin pouch provided.

My thoughts

The SenseMotion technology is absolutely awesome, the kinds of kinky fun couples can have with this are only limited by the imagination. Previously there have only been vibrating eggs that work via remote, but now there’s a remote controlled clitoral vibe for women like me that need the external stimulation more than the internal type.When combined with the remote that also vibrates it does push this to the top of the Couples sex toys category.

With SenseMotion the learning curve is steep – there’s no denying that, but it is well worth the investment of time for the pleasurable pay off. With a bit of playing around you will find what movemnents and gestures with the remote create the kinds of sensations that you enjoy most.

With the remote control set to silent there’s the possibility of having some great fun whilst out in public. The Tiani is incredibly quiet and the remote looks nothing like a sex toy remote – only other LELO insignia owners will recognise it for what it is – allowing you to play as a couple anywhere you please be it the local shopping center or the opera. It’s a play anywhere kind of toy thatis also useful for synchronized couples play in the bedroom.

I’d love for the vibrations to be stronger, but the kind of strength I love just isn’t possible with a toy this size, but unless you too have a clit of steel that likes wand massagers at full strength I dare say you will enjoy the Tiani.

It’s a really exciting new concept in sex toys that LELO has added its special touch of luxury to but the remote signal not travelling through flesh is a HUGE issue, as is the fact that it doesn’t work without the remote. I’m thinking that the new Pico Bong Mahana that does a similar job, sans the remote and rechargeable battery, might just be a better, far cheaper option. If I’m forking over close to $200 I expect a product to work just the way its supposed to. I had thought mine could be faulty, however at least one other sex toy reviewer had the exact same issue. This huge let down means I can’t score this toy as high as I want to, I want to give it a 5 but the signal issue is major so it barely scrapes into the 3 star category I’m afraid.

★★★☆☆

The Tiani is currently available directly from LELO along with Lyla, Oden and the rest of the Insignia Line of toys.

EDIT: Eden Fantasys is now selling the Tiani for $159 as well as the Oden for $179 and Lyla for $139 – If you use the discount code N25 at tyhe checkout you can save a further 15% off of these prices which will give you the Tiani for just $135.15!

Wanton Wednesday – Stripes are Sexy

Dangerous Lilly did a very silly, very dangerous thing in one of her recent Wanton Wednesday Posts when she said the wantoness doesn’t need to be self portaits when she shared her love for gear stick porn. So it’s likely I’ll have something sexy to post every week, albeit sans me. There’s only so much I can do without someone to hold the camera,

So this week I’ve found some sexy, sexy stocking pics to share, I just forget exactly where they came from!¹ I’m sure I posted them all to my Tumblr acct though.

Get Your Wantoness On

Although there is no me, I hope you still like them. Til next time…

Editor’s Pick

• LELO Mia by Navigator

I lusted after Mia back in the pink/dark pink days when it was buzzy, weak, and emitted a rather high-pitched whine. It was because of the large number of disappointed reviews that I held off. Recently, though, Lelo did something I always applaud companies for and listened to their customers…

Editor’s Note: Okay, I know you’ve probably read a Mia review before, I’ve probably had one as an EP before too, but the reason I choose reviews has little to do with the toy, it has to do with the review, and this one is actually enjoyable to read, which is my main criteria.

TMI Tuesday

What Would You Do?

1. You encounter a good looking lost and frantic tourist looking for the airport. You:
A) Shrug your shoulders, feigning ignorance.
B) Find the shortest route on your smartphone and get him/her a cab.
C) Direct him/her to the nearest bus stop.
D) Get your car, pick up his/her luggage and speed to the airport.

Definitely D.

I like to play the good samaritan and have actually been in a similar situation, but it was at the town bus stop rather than an airport and they were arriving rather than leaving. But I gave  pair of Swedish backpackers a lift to the local back packers hostel at 2am in the morning.

2. You’re taking a vacation alone. Your destination:
A) Beach resort — I just want to relax and de-stress.
B) A group tour — I don’t want to worry about the details.
C) Wherever the dart lands on the map.
D) Every country with a hostel — my backpack is my home.

B & D sound like nightmares to me. I’m a Pisces and a beach girl at heart who loves to just lay about surrounded by beautiful landscapes and luxurious perks!

3. Blackout! You can’t watch TV, so you light some candles and:
A) Dig up some batteries and listen to the radio.
B) Invite the neighbors, light a fire and sing camping songs all night.
C) Find a friend and play games that don’t require electricity. . . Like chess.
D) Drive to the next town — oh sweet Wi-Fi, I’ve found you!

Without power I’d want to 100% get up to something naughty. No question about that.

4. The man/woman of your dreams has finally proposed. The relationship is perfect, they are everything you’ve ever dreamed of and ever wanted. They are also a multi-millionaire and want you to sign a prenuptial agreement. Which would you do?
A) Sign it
B) Just not get married

Marriage – if I ever do consider the option – should be about love and commitment, not about money. So yes I would sign it. However I would want a clause in it so that it ran out after 20 years or something and also only covered what they owned before we met as anything we built together should be shared

5. If you were going to marry an inanimate object, what would you marry?
Note: A woman has married the Eiffel Tower and another has married the golden gate bridge. Read about it HERE

Dave Grohl’s drum stick .. or maybe a guitar. Wait if I married one of his tattoo’s then maybe I’d get to hang out with him. Yep definitely one of his tattoos.

Bonus: You’ve just inherited a manufacturing plant that specializes in plastics. What are you going to make?

I think my answer is ridiculously obvious – I’d want to make some truly awesome sex toys. One’s designed by me and my fellow reviewers as I strongly believe that we would design some truly kick ass toys.

On a deeper level though, if I had inherited it and didn’t need to make profits I’d like to make things like one use only disposable syringes, or condoms – something that I could give away that might do some good for the world, such as reducing the transmission of HIV and other transmissible diseases.
