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!

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.

G-Spot Lollipop Double Pop – Sex Toy Review

It’s Simply Squirt-a-licious

I have so  any positive comments to make about this toy it’s difficult to decide just where to start…

The G-Spot Lollipop is a very promising new sex toy that has only recently become a shining light on the sex toy radar, but after experiencing it first hand I’m certain it will start popping up in sex toy stores around the globe. It is as spectacular as it is simple, it is THE most effective toy I have come across for G-Spot stimulation and it is like a magic wand for conjuring up squirting orgasms.  I dare say it could give both the nJoy Pure Wand & Eleven a run for their money at a fraction of their cost. Hopefully that goes to show you just how effective this delightfully straight-forward sex toy is! I’m completely in love ♥

The Important Info:

Manufacturer: G-Spot Lollipop

Materials: The spherical pop is crafted from hypo-allergenic, body safe Acrylic, the stem is crafted from surgical steel and it is built to last a lifetime

Colors: I have the sexy Purple pop but the other color options include creamy orange and orange crush, wild apple, dark chocolate and pink passion.

Sizes: The overall length of the toy is right on 11″. There are 3 different size combinations available for   pop toy. The smallest double pop has lollipop balls that are 1″ and 1.75″ wide, The medium  (which I have) size pop 1.75″ and 2″ wide and the largest size has 2″ and 2.5″  wide lollipop balls. When it comes to girth the Medium size’s orbs are 5.5″ and 6.25″ in circumference, a girth quite similar to the nJoy Eleven

Variations: I have the double pop but there is also a J pop which Bean Fiddler recently reviewed, a travel sized pop and a single pop, with even more designs in the works.

Lube compatibility: I choose to stick to water based lubes as that way I don’t need to worry if I add another toy to the Lollipop is compatible with all types of lube. It’s one of those well rounded toys that gets along with everyone at play time!!

Care Instructions:  Lately I’ve been using toy wipes as they allow me to be lazy and just roll over and fall asleep after orgasm. However a simple soap and water style wash will do, or a diluted bleach solution if you wish to sterilize after anal use or for sharing. As I’ve already mentioned this is a well behaved and quite chilled out toy that just goes with the flow and is super easy to care for. I would be wary of boiling it though – I’m not sure that the acrylic wouldn’t melt if it sat against the bottom of the pot.

Price: The Double Pop currently retails for around $69.95 and is available direct or from one of the coolest online sex toy stores – SheVibe.com

My Review

The G-Spot Lollipop is the perfect toy for coaxing a shy or nervous G-Spot out of hiding and has quickly become my go to toy for internal stimulation.

Its simple, unadorned design is modern and fun. It doesn’t need any bells or whistles to create and cause such exceptional pleasure. It is straight forward and uncomplicated; It doesn’t vibrate, have controls or need an instruction manual to tell you how to use it. Nor does it have a long list of features and functions, rather it does just one thing and does it damn well!

The G-Spot Lollipop comes packaged just like a traditional lollipop. The largest end of my Double Pop was wrapped up in a piece of clear plastic and tied, together with a tag by a pretty matching ribbon. I like the minimal fuss and the fact that there is nothing unnecessary making it much friendlier to the environment. Then again, an un-pretencious toy such as this doesn’t require anything more than this minimal packaging to make it fly off the shelves.

For those that do enjoy some vibrations with their penetration the G-Spot Lollipop loves to play with others. Holding a vibrating bullet, pocket rocket or a any other kind of vibrator against the metal stick sends the vibrations straight through to the head of the pop. I’ve also found that it is amazing when paired with my we vibe, which in some ways turns this pop into the ultimate rabbit vibrator, providing intense G-Spot massage and vibration with simultaneous clitoral stimulation. Trust me it’s a combination made in heaven.

Great For Stubborn G-Spots

My smoke out campaign for stubborn G-Spots involves inserting the pop until it nestles just under the lower side of the cervix against the front wall of the vagina. Then whilst holding the handle end of the pop gradually angle it downwards so as to apply a little extra pressure to the front wall. Then very, very slowly start to withdraw it whilst maintaining the pressure. At some point you should find a spot where it feels extra good. It might take a few tries but when you find a spot that feels good stop pulling out and just rub the head of the pop against that spot.

Using mini strokes of no more than half an inch or so it is then quite easy to get that G-Spot to stand to attention. If you miss it on the first pass continue slowly scanning that front (anterior) wall whilst staying very relaxed. The more relaxed you are, the more likely you are going to be able to feel the distinction between mildly pleasurable spots and the ‘oh wow’ ones. If you think you’ve found it, but aren’t quite sure, do the mini thrusts whilst applying more and more pressure. It might take some time, but the G-Spot will eventually become engorged and difficult to miss.

G-Spot Lollipop and Squirting

The technique I use for having squirting orgasms is quite similar actually. Gradually applying pressure and slowly stimulating to get the urethral sponge engorged and all juiced up before giving it a right old pounding. With the pop it is very easy to locate the right spot as it sits right in behind your pubic bone below your cervix. It only takes a few quick thrusts with the end of the pop running over my pelvic bone for my pussy to turn into a geyser.

The first time I played with my G-Spot Lollipop it was a little like I was pumping water, these small but brisk little thrusts were making my vagina turn into a water fountain. Thank god for my Liberator Throe. The puddle was over a foot wide. That’s one orgasm I won’t be forgetting in a hurry.

Compared to the Eleven

In all honesty it is the best sex toy I own for squirting. It  out does the Pure wand  and is comparable to the Eleven – Gasp. I know that sounds blasphemous, but this baby is far easier to wield and thrust with than the far heavier pure wand and it manages to apply quite a bit more pressure too. The shaft isn’t angled or curved, but I’ve found that it really doesn’t have to be. The double pop is also  the same length as the Eleven and the larger end of my double pop is the same size as the girthy end of the Eleven as you can see in the photos of them side by side.

If size scares you don’t forget this is the medium sized pop and smaller sizes are available. Similarly size queens might be happy to hear that the 2″ wide bulb of my pop is dwarfed by the 2.5″ wide bulb of their largest size.

The lighter weight also makes it an easier weapon to wield and manipulate, as well as add vibrations too. I can’t say I’ll be ditching my nJoy toys EVER, but I’ve began to grab my pop instead quite a lot of the time when I just want a quick fix. If you’re not quite ready to drop a big chucnk of change for these full metal toys the G-Spot lollipop is a far cheaper for a toy that creates relatively similar results.

But wait there’s more…

I know I must sound like a cheezy infomercial, but I promise you my enthusiasm is real. I have to tell you about the double pleasure phenomenon which I’ve dubbed the “Vortex Effect” which is created by the spherical shape of the pops.

On the inward stroke with the pop the pleasure of penetration is experienced as one would expect, but  the outward stroke that holds a secret, secondary moment of pleasure.As with any dildo or wand you feel all the same great sensations of being penetrated and the walls of the vagina being stimulated. With a normal wand or dildo though the walls of the vagina are held apart by the toy whilst in use, but the pop allows the walls to close in again behind it.

Then as you begin the outward stroke it creates somewhat of a vortex, the walls of your pussy strongly gripping the pop,  not wanting to let it go. This creates a second sensation, quite similar to penetration, yet different and in some ways even more enjoyable. An enigmatic sensation that is difficult to describe – I think you need to experience it in order to understand it. But basically my pussy didn’t want to let go, it didn’t want to stop playing, somewhat like a little like a kid with a real lollipop!!

Conclusion

There are of course many other ways in which you could use this toy, or any of the others in the G-Spot Lollipop range. They are safe for anal use, both shape wise and material wise as the pops can be easily sterilised. The smaller pops can be used during penetrative sex and also make for really great Kegel exercisers.

I cannot think of a single reason as to why this toy doesn’t deserve 5 full stars and a place in my top 5 favourite sex toys. In fact it makes me wish I could give it more than 5 stars. I just love it. As yet it hasn’t fully replaced the Eleven as my favourite dildo for penetration, but it has become my go to toy for squirting! I have some concerns that my eyes are bigger than my vag, but I really want to try the whopping 2.5″ wide, size Queen pop.

More toys in LELO’s Insignia Line

Soroya’s little sisters

It’s quite well known that my favourite sex toy is the LELO Insignia Soraya – the vibrator that is always within my arms reach., but I’m wondering if maybe one of the new additions to LELOs Insignia line might be able to dethrone Soraya as the Queen of my toy box.

Let me Introduce you to the newest members of the Insignia family who will be officially launched on September 15th.

We Have – LYLA, ODEN & TIANI

Some of the similarities between these three and the existing line are visually apparent. The same svelt colors of velvet soft silicone with shiny golden accents. They will be available in Black, Cerise and Deep Rose – sadly the turquoise shade of the Insignia Isla is not being repeated.¹

The new toys are all remote controlled (that’s the pretty gold badge looking thing). Specially designed to be a “couples” sex toy each of the new additions can be controlled by a partner using their new sensemotion™ technology.

Taking inspiration from the latest smart devices LELO’s new SenseMotion™ technology allows the toys to be controlled by certain gestures made whilst holding the remote. It is somewhat ike a XXX version of a Nintendo Wii. But the similarities with gaming systems don’t end there. Just like the dual shock controllers used with the PS3, the remote will imitate the sensations created by the toy to create a full sensory link between the toys wearer and their controlling partner.

I can hardly wait to get my hands on one of these, the Clit Hugging TIANI in particular. Correct me if I’m wrong but there is no other remote controlled “clit hugging” sex toy on the market. It has some visual similarities to the silhouette of the we vibe , but that is where the similarities end. I’m lucky enough to have one on its way to me right now, so watch this space to see how it performs.

.

3 brand new toys are enough to keep any sex toy company busy, but that’s not all LELO have even more in store for us.

Introducing Picobong

This September LELO will also be launching another brand new line of sex toys called rather oddly “PICOBONG” – maybe bong means something different in sweeish!

The new, fully funkified line looks to include 6 exciting new shapes. All of which appear to be available in that sexy turquoise color. The Picobong line is aimed at the younger end of the market, with a targeted demographic of 18-30. Visit their website at www.picobong.com to find out more about these toys once they are released.

It’s going to be a good September.

FAQ -sometimes crazy questions I’ve been asked

Can a Fleshlight be made to match my wife?

short answer is no.  Well unless she’s a major porn star.

Longer answer, in the crazy world of the internet where people make homemade dildos using caulking silicone bought at the hardware store, or create their own fleshlights by bubble wrapping sponges and shoving them into coke bottles… possibly yes.  But it would have to be a DIY custom job. Buy a clone a pussy kit and a fleshlight featuring your favourite inner texture. Chop the top of of your perfectly good fleshlight and then using the clone a pussy kit make a mould of her vulva (the outside bits) and cast yourself a new top for your fleshlight.

If you want to completely re-create her pussy then it’s going to become a much more involved, far messier project that’s going to require seaweed, a decent knowledge of chemistry and some gynaecological tools. But shit it would be a great way for a woman to show her man how much he means to her.

How Do I Apply Corn Starch [aka corn flour or corn powder] to my fleshlight?

This.. well this is a pretty easy one that just requires some corn flour – or whatever word you use in your country for it, and a clean and fully dried fleshlight sleeve. All you have to do is sprinkle the stuff onto the sleeve. It’s best done over a sink so you can clean up the excess that misses the sleeve easily. After you’ve sprinkled it all over blow off the excess and voila, you are done. Pretty easy stuff huh!

How Do I repair a cracked gel or jelly dildo?

You don’t.

#1 Gel or Jelly is far from being a good material to make sex toys from. It’s a porous material so all kinds of bacteria can breed on the surface and start burrowing into the material to create super nasty little cities. And no one’s vagina wants to host a party for an unwelcome, unfriendly bacteria.

#2 It may contain Pthalates and other chemical nasties that are used to make the jelly,, most of which aren’t good or safe to insert into your body.

#3 It’s cheap and just yuck – silicone may attract fuzzies, but Jelly dildos attack them and use the fizzies to build even bigger cities for the nasty bacteria and it’s feasty mates

I’d go on but there’s too many reasons why you shouldn’t mend a jelly dildo. Actually you shouldn’t try to mend a tear, crack or rip in any dildo, no matter what it is made out of.  Just go out and buy a new, preferably Silicone dildo that won’t let bugs breed or leech poisonous chemicals into your vag. You wouldn’t want to stick a tampon thats been opened and rolling around in your bag collecting fuzz inside you, same thing goes for old, cracked and generally not nice jelly dildos.

Can I make a sex toy out of butter?

ummmm. No. And even if you could I would strongly advise against fucking anything made out of or covered in butter or any other food substance.

Can I use Alchol Wipes on Silicone dildos (vibrators or other silicone sex toys)?

Using wipes that contain alcohol to clean silicone sex toys is safe and should not damage the surface of the silicone. (that is if it is real silicone) However soaking anything made of silicone in alcohol will quite likely damage it.. The trick here is that by wiping the surface with alcohol (either as a pre0made wipe or with a cotton ball soaked in Isopropyl alcohol) it quickly and easily evaporates leaving no residue and not damagiong the material. Note: use Isopropyl alcohol only (aka rubbing alcohol – in Australia it’s sold as Isocol). You don’t really wanty to be using rum or borboun here – save that stuff for drinking guys.

If you are concerned about damaging the surface of a sex toy try a small patch test on an area near the base where it doesn’t really matter if it does get damaged. Other sex toy materials that are perfect for being cleaned with alcohol include glass, hard plastic and metal

Silicone toys can also be wiped down with a diluted bleach solution (allow it to try and then rinse well with water before using it again) and if it is a dildo, without any electical or mechanical components then you can also boil it on the stove top for 5 minutes to fully sterilise it – just make sure it isn’t touching the bottom or sides of the pot as the increased temperature could melt it. Another option is putting it through a wash in the top shelf of your dishwasher, all on its own, without the dishes of course!!

 Do you have a discount coupon or code for AdultToysCorner.com.au?

Sadly no. Although the AdultToysCorner.com.au  checkout does mention a discount or coupon code none exist. I have contacted them about this in the past and if one does ever become available you will be sure to find it here! They do however guarantee that they will have the best, lowest price on stocked sex toys within Australia. Find a better price online and they will match it and throw in a free gift as well.

Can I squirt without Penetration?

I can’t really answer this for everyone as each body is unique, but I most certainly can and often do squirt without penetration. Actually it’s gotten to a point where (given the exact right situation) I can squirt with the most minimal amount of touch.It’s almost tantric and requires a fair bit of practice and I guess training, but it certainly can be done.

Can I squirt without having an Orgasm?

Again I can only answer for myself, and sadly the answer is yes. Why sadly? Wel I love the feeling that accompanies the release of a squirting orgasm, but it just isn’t the same as a really good clitoral orgasm. Often if I have squirted that clitoral orgasm is nowhere to be found, no matter how hard I try.

I mean a squirting orgasm is an orgasm, but for someone like me who’s used to full on clitoral orgasms it just isn’t the same even though it’s also very pleasurable.

Do squirting Orgasms hurt?

No. No part of sex should hurt (unless you want it to). If you experience any kind of pain you should probably be making an appointment with your Doctor rather than turning to google. Google is not god people!!

And one of the most asked questions (after designing custom sex toys which I’ll write about soon)…

What is the best sex toy for squirting?

I think most reviewers who experience female ejaculation will say that the Njoy Pure Wand is the ultimate squirting tool. Personally I love my much bigger Njoy Eleven, but can also reccomend the Curved Purple Swirl Glass dildo from Don Wands. However almost any rigid sex toy with a decent curve to it that allows you to put extra pressure on your G-Spot and uretheral sponge should pretty much do the trick!

Have you got a question? Have you come here looking for something and haven’t found it? I’d love to hear from you – just email me at links@screaming-violet.com , or if you’re lazy like me just leave a comment below.

Cheers

Super Savings 20-60% off Sex Toys

Save on Sex Toys with Eden’s Super Sale

I’ve been such a good girl and have saved up a big bunch of Eden Points as well as gift cards which I’ve held back from using waiting for something that I really, really want to be on sale. Then when I logged into Eden Fantasys.com this morning I discovered that they are having a clearence sale with savings of between 20% and 60% off.

Some of the items that have had their prices slashed by 60% include the Golden Glass wand from Phallix glass. With a 60% saving it’s on sale for only $10. I doubt I’m ever going to find a glass wand for only $10 ever again. There’s also Tantus ‘General’ dildo - another great plus size silicone dildo similar to Randy¹. Usually the General has a price tag of $109.99 but it’s been slashed to just $44

In the 50% off group I am strongly drawn to the Cleo Ono. I know it looks incredibly weird but I just imagine the kind of fun that could be had with it’s vulva hugging shape whilst in the bath tub. Made by the fabulous folks over at LELO the price and quality make my mind scream WANT!!

However the items that I’m lusting after the most are from the 40% off category – a few pieces from the all natural, wooden sex toys created by nob essence. There is the PC muscle excersiser which has been cut from $115.99 down to just $59.69, or the sexy, stunning Dual Use S Shape. Normally this sexy piece of wood sells for $178.99 but currently it’s up for grabs for only $107.39 so I’m strongly considering grabbing it. I’ve tried nearly every other sex toy material out there except for wood, so I think it’s about time I lost my ‘wood virginity’ so to speak.

The Semi Annual Sale at EdenFantasys.com will last until August 19th 2011 – or whilst stocks last, so be sure to grab yourself a bargain before the best  ones are bought out!

For other items that aren’t already on sale you can use the discount coupon code N25 to receive 15% off of your purchases.

OhMiBod Naughtibod – Sex Toy Review

Pump up The Volume

I think the OhMiBod is one of the first sex toys I truly lusted after. I’ve always found music to be an incredibly powerful aphrodisiac, so being able to experience the music I love in a whole new way held great appeal. I Imagined Dave Grohl’s hard hitting drumming making my insides quiver as the noise was transformed into vibrations by the OhMiBod. Sadly though the original OhMiBod shape really didn’t do anything for me and I didn’t want to go “poo poohing” on what I thought was a truly innovative and interesting concept. The OhMiBod was a brilliant idea, it was just that a completely straight, un-textured vibrator was never ever going to get my blood really pumping so I held back from writing about it.

Fast forward a year – OhMiBod won the Red Dot Design award for 2010 with their innovative products and have now released a few more toys that offer new ways for your favourite music to be translated into sexual pleasure by their uber nifty OhMiBod technology!

The new shape of the OhMiBod Naughtibod refreshed my interest in getting off to my favourite band…. Oh and the fact that the Naughtibod comes in a rainbow of colors - Including this super cute Apple Green certainly didn’t hurt!!

The somewhat boring and bland dead straight, white vibrator has been superseded by the veritable rainbow of  the generation 2 point ‘oh’ OhMiBod Naughtibod vibrators and their bulbously groovy shape. Even the texture of the toys surface has been improved from super shiny plastic to a more velvety finish that creates the exact right type of drag that I’m looking for a sex toy.

Important Info

Manufacturer: OhMiBod

Materials: 100% Body safe, Phthalate free ABS Plastic

Colors Available: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Black, Purple and Pink

Power Source: 2x AAA size batteries which come included!!

Controls: You can control the intensity via the volume on your iPod if you are using it in music mode, otherwise there are easy to reach buttons on the end cap to control the vibrations.

Vibration Patterns & Intensities: 7 different patterns are pre-programmed into the vibrator but the possibilities are limitless when used in music mode as each song creates its own unique patterns.

Compatible Devices: iPod’s, iPhones, other mp3 players, your laptop and almost any device that creates sound and you can plug your headphones into will work with the OhMiBod products – technically anything with a 3.5mm port that has audio output.

Size: 6.25″ or 16cm long approx 1.25″ or 3cm wide with a maximum girth of 3.5″ or 9cm

Packaging: The Naughtibod’s packaging is very similar to the original OhMiBod – a simple cardboard box with a plastic tray inside that holds your new toy, its storage pouch, the 3 foot long splitter cord and the instruction manual.

Storage: Cute Pink velvet like pouch is included for storage. It has OhMiBod embroidered on the side of it and it’s big enough to hold both the vibrator and the cord to connect it to your iPod or other device.

Lube Compatibility: Best when used with water based lubes

Care & Cleaning: It is NOT water proof so you do need to take care when cleaning it to ensure that water doesn’t manage to find its way inside and destroy your new toy on you.

Price & Availability: You can pick up a Naughtibod for $99au from the Australian OhMiBod store or $US from their international site. They re also available from many of your other favourite sex toy sites such as femplay Australia or EdenFantasys.com

Extending your OhMiBod vibe:  For those of you out there in Iphone land (I’m incredibly jealous of you all) it should be of no surprise that the people behind the iPod/iPhone vibrator have also gone ahead and created an App to go with their ingenious little sex toys. The Body Heat App adds to the numerous ways that you can control and create your own individual pattern of pleasure with your OhMiBod sex toy.  You can get the Body Heat App from the Itines store – of course.

All About the Naughtibod

For those who have not heard of OhMiBod before now it is an exciting company that creates adult toys that work in tandem with your favourite mp3 player to interpret your favourite music into amazing vibrations. As I said earlier the first OhMiBod sex toy wasn’t all that fantastic simply due to the under whelming shape, size and finish of the vibrator – but now there is quite a wide range of OhMiBod toys available, including the funky range of colored Nauightibod’s!

I’ve been longing for more green sex toys and was over the moon to see that I had been sent the Apple Green colored naughtibod but it comes in a range of super fruity flavours with names like Cherry Red, Tangerine, Blueberry, Lemon drop, Liquorice, Grape and Bubblegum pink.  There’s a color for every personality I wish more sex toys came in such a wide range of colors!

How it works

The Naughtibod comes with a splitter cord that looks a little bit like a set of headphones without the ear buds. This cord plugs straight into the headphone jack of your iPod (or other mp3 player etc). You can then plug your headphones into this splitter so you can hear the music you’re getting down to. Final step plug the end of the splitter cord into the bottom of the naughtibod and start experiencing music in a whole new way.

It takes a bit of trial and error to find the songs that work the best with the OhMiBod technology as some songs can overwhelm it and simply cause a rather boring constantly on style of vibration. You can control the intensity of the vibrations by adjusting the volume of the music source. I strongly recommend you try somewhere between 70% and 85% of the maximum volume. I found when I turned things up to the max it drowned out the intricacies of the music and created a constant hum rather than a noticeable pattern.

One of the big bonus points for OhMiBod toys is that whilst they can create great vibrations from your favourite songs they also function as regular vibrators as well.  In earlier models OhMiBod toys came with two different end caps – one to connect with your music player and a second to control the vibration patterns manually. In version 2.OH there’s just the one end cap. The new Naughtibod end cap features two control buttons ( a circle and a triangle) as well as the port for the splitter cord to plug into.

My Musical Choices

I found that the naughtibod responded delightfully to some of my favourite bass rocking songs like 7 Nation Army by the White Stripes and No One Knows by Queens of the Stone Age¹

Sadly some of my favourite Generation X anthems were just turned into a muddy grunge soup, but good old fashion punk such as the sex pistols went off!! But the #1 band on my OhMiBod playlist has got to be Metallica, they seriously made my entire body wriggle and writhe!

Size Matters

Size wise I wasn’t overly impressed. I’m a girl who likes to feel fully filled so the naughtibod is kinda on the small side for my tastes. The small size did however prove to be useful for a bit of G-Spot stimulation, but with everyone’s G-Spots being located in their own unique position I can’t guarantee it will do the same for you.

I think the naughtibod would make a pretty amazing first vibrator. With a size that isn’t overwhelming and such a wide variety of vibration possibilities I find it hard to knock it. The vibrations travel well throughout the entire shaft of this toy and its shape makes for some enjoyable sensations for thrusting. It’s made of 100% body safe materials that are free of Phthalates and other nasties.

When cleaning you need to be careful not to let water get into the port where the headphone jack plugs in. I found using a damp wash cloth to be the easiest way to clean this toy as excessive water could destroy it. I also always remove batteries after use as if they were to leak they can destroy your toy. In between uses I store my Naughtibod along with its cord and batteries inside of the pink velveteen pouch that comes with the toy.

In Conclusion

In comparison to the original OhMiBod vibrator I am incredibly impressed. The Naughtibod offers a far more enjoyable shape and surface texture and I’m convinced that the 2.OH version  interprets the music with greater definition than the original toy. Whilst it lacks the kind of size I personally enjoy I find it pretty hard to knock this toy and feel it really does deserve a full 4 out of 5 stars.

★★★★☆

I was also lucky enough to be sent the Better than Chocolate OhMiBod which combines the funky functionality of musically powered vibrations and the incredibly original clitoral vibrator from sex toy manufacturer Nomi Tang – so keep your eyes out for that review!

I’m also crushing on their club vibe as it could make the Foo Fighters concert in December the best concert of my life!!

Huge thank-you to OhMiBod Australia for sending me this ever so cute Green Apple Naughtibod to review. If you are after one of your own they are available from OhMiBod.com.au for $99au or at your favourite quality sex toy store.
