Swan Trumpeter – Sex Toy Review

The Pink Swan

The Swan Collection of vibrators that are available within Australia are essentially the same toys that are available and known in the USA as the Vanity line of vibrators from Jopen. The differences in the products are minimal, but they include the color of the silicone, the names of the different models and the packaging and inclusions. At the end ofthe day the Swan Trumpeter is virtually the same toy as the Jopen Vanity VR9 at the end of the day.

When I was first offered the Swan Trumpeter for review I wasn’t as excited as I should of been. I’m a rabbit lover – My clit is normally the epicenter of my orgasms, but if it’s getting attention my vagina starts screaming for some too – So dual stimulator vibes really are my thing and the trumpeter just isn’t that style of vibe. I’m also a bit of a size queen so I doubted that the slender shafts of the Swan Trumpeter would feel satisfying – Yet I’ve fallen in love with it’s smooth, svelte, curved shaft and strong, rounded ends that are perfect to apply pressure and deliver high octane vibrations directly to the G-Spot.

Swan Trumpeter Vibrator

The Swan Trumpeter is a double ended vibrator; that is in the sense that it has two usable ends rather than one vibrator that can be used by two people at once. Its overall length is close to 10″ but the insertable, usable length of each end is close to 4″ which leaves a space of around 2″ in the center where the two control buttons are located.

The larger, more bulbous end has a maximum circumference of 5.5″  with a gentle curve which makes it perfect for G-Spot stimulation. Of the two separate motors in this vibe it is very easy to discern that the larger, more powerful motor is located within the rigid, larger end.

The rigidity of the larger end extends just slightly into the smaller end of this vibe allowing the top 3.5″ of the shaft to be incredibly flexible. It can even be bent as far back as 180 degrees (although I wouldn’t advise you do so as it certainly could damage the  inner wiring!) It has a much smaller, less robust motor than the opposite end, but still it is quite strong.  With the motor located right in the small spherical end it is perfect for delivering intense, pin-point style stimulation that I’ve not experienced in any other toy before.

The two control buttons are centrally located and are very intuitive to use. There aren’t any distinct levels of vibrations, rather the longer you hold down the control button the higher the vibration intensity. To switch the toy off you simply press the control button once to switch it off. This is terrific if you live in a situation where you may get interrupted, be it by kids or room mates, however it’s also a huge pain in the butt. I was seriously upset about the same issue in the VR5 – it is far, far too easy to accidentally switch it off during use. I’ve lost count of the times I’ve accidentally switched this toy off right at the most inopportune moment.

When you first receive your Swan Trumpeter it is already charged but you may find yourself unable to quickly switch it on – this is because it has the travel lock engaged. To unlock you simply hold both buttons down for 4-5 seconds after which the lights behind the buttons should flicker. To re-lock it in the future simply repeat the process of holding both buttons down.

Apart from the issue with accidentally switching it off my one and only other gripe with this toy – and the rest of the Vanity by Jopen range – is that they claim to be completely seamless silicone. A statement which simply isn’t true. It might be only very slight, but there  is certainly a discernible line running around the toy, the seam between the two halves is visible. It doesn’t have any impact on its use… but don’t call it seamless when the seam is so visible!  There is also a raised circle around the charging port along with some slightly raised logos and information on the back of the toy. Again it doesn’t affect its use, but felt it was worth mentioning.

The packaging of the Swan Trumpeter is absolutely awesome. I have to admit I’m a bit of a packaging whore. I love being able to keep toys in their boxes all nicely lined up and stacked as though they were shoe boxes! It isn’t what I’d call discreet packaging, rather it’s very informative and provides info on the product in numerous languages.

Included with the Swan vibrator is an instruction booklet, black satin drawstring storage bag and its charger. Along with the charger they supply 4 different inter-changeable plugs to allow it to be used with numerous international power point configurations. I could be wrong but I believe they are for Australia, America, the UK and possibly Europe or Canada.

As simple as it may seem this is one of my favourite elements of this product. When you buy an expensive sex toy you want to be able to play with it and use it without having to stuff around buying special plugs just to charge the darn thing. I hope more companies will take note of this and supply these simple attachments for us international customers!

My two favourite aspects of the Swan Trumpeter are the strength of its vibrations and its tremendous ability to conjure up squirting orgasms. The larger end seems to be able to sit up just behind my pubic bone in a position that allows it to continuously apply a medium amount of pressure to my G-Spot whilst leaving both hands free to do other things. Obviously thrusting with it creates even more stimulation, but I’ve gotten into a habit of using this one hands free internally whilst going to town on my clit with my mystic wand.  It’s also been quite popular in bed as my partner can still go down on me whilst using it to hit my often hard to find G-Spot. It’s got the curves I love on the nJoy Eleven just without the bulk that often gets in the way.

All in all this is a pretty damn awesome vibrator. I would love to give  it a full 5 stars but its infuriating habit of switching off if I accidentally bump the control button means it comes in at a pretty high 4.5 stars. If you are looking for a strong vibrator that is great for G-Spotting you really can’t go wrong with the Swan Trumpeter (or the VR9 in the USA). It might be a little more expensive than other vibes that look & seem similar, but it really does deliver when it comes to high powered vibrations, the kind I’m yet to find from another brand.

★★★★☆

Australian consumers can grab the Trumpeter Swan from one of my favourite Australian online sex toy stores - Femplay.com.au where they currently have it on sale for $162.50AU¹  a saving of over $60 off the RRP

If you are an Australian or New Zealand retailer interested in the Swan Line of Vibrators I strongly suggest you contact the folks at CalVista – possibly Down Under’s biggest distributor of sex toys and adult products – and wonderful sponsors of this review.Internationally you can purchase the Swan Trumpeter directly from SwanVibes.com for $136.50 US

In the US & Canada I strongly recommend the almost identical Jopen VR9 – It just has a different colored silicone and slightly different packaging – it is available  from EdenFantasys.com – use the coupon code N25 to save 15% off the price of your purchases.

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.

Sex Toy Review – Dahlia Breeze

A Bullet aimed at your G-Spot

I have long wanted the Dahlia Breeze, so much so that when the sex toy store Fascinations approached me to write some reviews of sex toys it was easy to choose the toy I wanted most. After falling so madly in love with my 6”bullet breeze from BMS enterprises I’ve been dying to get my hands on a few of their other products. I just knew that their slightly odd shaped sex toy designed to take the simple joys of a bullet used for clitoral stimulation and make it so that it can be used to stimulate the G-Spot would be something I would enjoy – and I wasn’t wrong!!

Important Information

material: 100% Body safe, Phthalate & Latex free ABS Plastic.

size: 5.5″ (14cm) in length with a maximum girth of 5.25″ (13cm) around the head of the toy.

power: 2 x AAA batteries.

colors: Mine is pink but it is also available in white and Lavender.

Controls: One simple push button at the base of the toy.

Vibration Levels/Patterns: Only one pattern of constantly on vibrations with three levels of intensity

lube recommendation: Water Based Lube is best.

Cleaning: Warm water and a disinfectant/antibacterial soap, can be sterilised with a water & bleach solution

other: Features dual motors and is fully waterproof.

The Dahlia Breeze Power Bullet G really delivers what you would expect from just reading its name. It takes all of the things I love about my over-sized, super-powered 6″ bullet and converts these things into an odd looking package that serves to deliver the vibrations I love directly to my G-Spot.

Ok, so it looks like a regular bullet with some strange growth on its side or Elephantiasis, but looks aren’t everything when it comes to sex toys. The strange bulges and bump do have purposes. The first, smaller bump is there to provide clitoral stimulus, whilst the bulgier, more bulbous head is shaped to put pressure on the G-Spot and to excite it further with vibrational delights. (I’m overly cheeky and flowery with my words today )

In my case there’s no way a bump as small as this and positioned as it is will reach my clit at the same time the rest of the toy is having a party with my G-Spot. But seriously, it didn’t bother me that my clit missed out as it added vibrations to the entrance of my vagina, an area all too often over looked by sex toy designers.

The somewhat odd, heavily protruding head and slight curve of the shaft helps to get the toy in the right position to align with your G-Spot. Inside this bulbous head houses two separate motors that work in unison to create vibrations that could wake up even the most stubborn of G-Spots. The head also makes for an awesome, super sized surface to use against the clit, similar to other regular style bullet vibes – just super-sized and super powered.

The three levels of vibration are low, medium and a pretty decent high intensity – not super high like Hitachi, but quite a bit stronger than any other bullet like toy. They are also a lower frequency, more thumpy and rumbly style vibration, not the high pitched buzzy, numbing vibrations you might expect from a bullet like vibrator. The vibrations are more focused into the large head of the toy, but they still manage to travel well through the entire toy without making it feel like your fingers will buzz off during use.

I’m really impressed by the performance of this little sex toy, but when I first tried to fire it up I experienced some severe sex toy #FAIL – or rather this sex toy experienced some severe User #FAIL.

I got it out of its clear plastic packaging, grabbed 2 AAA’s and unscrewed the base cap to insert the batteries and get to playing – As I said I’ve been wanting to get my hands on this toy for quite a while now. With the cap off I inserted the first battery, but it felt pretty tight getting it in there. When it came to the second battery I simply couldn’t get it in there. Hmm I knew there was something wrong but WTF was up?? I look inside the tubular insides and notice a small bit of paper just peeking out from behind the now stuck battery  Ok, I’m an idiot I’ve gone and shoved this battery in the hole without looking and obviously there was a bit of paper in there I’m meant to remove first. Ughh!

Getting that battery out was near impossible, it just didn’t make sense that just a piece of paper could cause it to be so jam packed in there. I try grabbing the battery with pliers and tweezers but there wasn’t enough room in there to use something to pry it out. It was a pretty dire situation, poor Dahlia looks like she’s dead before I even get to start her up.

It turns out that it wasn’t just a piece of paper in there, rather a clear plastic tubular cradle for the two batteries – and the piece of paper. I had to take a small saw to the end of the dahlia, cutting 4 slits into the thread area so that I could get the tweezers in there to grasp that battery and get it out. But guess what – despite my completely dodgy handy work this toy still works like an absolute dream!

The moral of this story is – look in the hole before you mindlessly shove batteries into a hole!! and again it’s not the toy’s fault this occurred, I’m 100% to blame and am overjoyed that she is robust enough to have survived her little sex toy surgery!

Despite My #FAIL with inserting the batteries my experience with this sex toy is all positive. Although it has a rather odd shape there is no denying that its an awesome powerhouse of fun. A toy I’d recommend to everyone, sex toy beginners and aficionados alike due to its dynamic nature, body friendly, sterilisable material and its high quality strong vibrations. It is also waterproof and easy to use with a simple push button that cycles through the toys the vibration levels. I have to say it is pretty darn strong for a toy powered by just 2 AAA’s, but trust me it delivers quite the punch!

I strongly feel that the Dahlia Breeze Power Bullet G is well worthy of 4 out of 5 stars. Body safe, inexpensive and most importantly it works just as it should.

★★★★☆
