Spice Things Up With Kinklab

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

I recently got my hands on a new set of handcuffs from Kinklab and I’m so in love with them that I thought I should take the time to highlight the stuff I own from this fetish company!

First up, let me tell you all about my new Kink Cuffs! They’re made from black nylon and pink leather and totally hot. I love the way they look, the way they feel and the look in my partner’s eye when I’m on my back with my hands secured to the bed.  Let me tell you, there’s no way I’m going anywhere in these restraints.

While I can’t speak about these items from personal experience, I feel like you need to know that you can pick up a matching collar, blindfold and more!

You should also check out their Wartenberg Wheel. It’s really well made and perfect for driving a lover insane!

Lightly roll over the skin for a unique sensation! The Wartenberg Pinwheel is great for sensory play and medical fantasies. This pinwheel comes with a leather sheath to hold your pinwheel when not in use. Be daring!

While I may only own a couple of items right now, I definitely see myself investing more in the future and had to share my experiences with you so far. I definitely need to get my hands on Vampire Gloves after hearing rave reviews on the interwebs about them – just another item to add to my wish list!

Whether you’re a serious player, or just looking to get a little freaky in the bedroom, you should really check out what Kinklab has to offer!

Top Five Couple’s Kits

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010

Just because Valentine’s Day is over doesn’t mean that you should stop making an effort in the bedroom! While it’s easy to break out the candles, massage oils and special toys once a year, you’ll find that making intimacy a priority throughout the year will pay off big time. While you don’t have to break out a trunk full of sextoys every time you get busy, a little variety will keep things interesting. There’s no better way experience a wealth of pleasure without breaking the bank than picking up a quality Couple’s Kit. Whether you’re looking to get kinky, romantic or all kinds of freaky, you’re sure to find a kit that will fit the bill.

Here are my top five Couple’s Kits to help ensure you don’t experience a post Valentine’s Day sex slump!

1. White Nights Kit – If you’re relatively new to the toy game, you’re going to want to pick up this collection of quintessential Doc Johnson toys. You’ll get a pocket rocket, a multi-speed vibrating egg, massage oil and a traditional vibe. Really, every woman should have all four of these toys in her trunk no matter how many high-end vibes she collects.

2. The Weekender Kit – This small kit from Kama Sutra is the perfect accessory to any trip out of town. Of course, you’ll also have a ton of fun with it if you plan a romantic night at home, but it travels really well. Contains delicate portions of Oil of Love, Pleasure Balms, Honey Dust, Wild Clove and Mint Tree Bathing Gels!

3. Beginner’s Waterproof Harness and Dildo Set – If you’re curious about strap on play, this harness and dildo set from Sportsheets is a great place to start. The harness fits up to 60 inch hips and you’ll love the fact that it’s compatible with any flared base dildo that fits in the o-ring! I’m kind of in love with the entire Sex in the Shower line, to be honest…

4. Bondage Basics Restraint Kit – Kinklab makes some of the hottest bdsm stuff out there and this kit is a great introduction to them and bondage. It includes 2 leather handcuffs, 2 leather ankle cuffs, rope, and a blindfold so the possibilities are almost endless!

5. Sun Pack – You know we love glass dildos here at Sextoys.com and the only thing that can make purchasing one better is picking up a bunch of other great toys at the same time! The SUN PAK bundles a clear Lil’ Lady glass wand with a flower detail in the handle and an Earthly Body Naked In The Woods scented massage candle, a Lilac colored padded pouch, a sample pack of WET Platinum Lubricant. What else do you need for a night of fun!

While not everyone is a huge fan of Valentine’s Day, I see it as a great excuse to spoil someone you love.  Of course, this could mean taking your partner of ten years out for a night on the town or turning off your cell phone, getting take out and enjoying a quiet evening of quality alone time.

Smartvibes G2 Stranger – Toy Review

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010

I recently had a chance to check out another high-end vibe from Fun Factory, the Stranger. This silicone toy is one of the six sexy G2 toys and I was pretty excited to give it a try because I love my Heartbreaker, a vibrator from the same line.

The Stranger is almost 7 inches long, with 5.75 insertable inches and a 4.5 inch circumference. In my opinion, I’d say this is a pretty standard size and good for both beginners and toy enthusiasts. The tapered head, when combined with your favorite water-based lube, make for easy insertion and I really loved the way the ribbed body feels.

The toy is pretty simple to operate and works exactly like the Heartbreaker. Once the batteries are inserted, all you need to do is turn the dial base to turn it on and increase or decrease the vibration. Everyone hates the design of Fun Factory’s battery compartments because they are a little tricky to get into, but if you read the instructions you should be all right. I personally appreciate the fact that I’ve never had a single issue with water getting into the electronic parts of these waterproof toys because the compartment is totally secure. I’d rather take a few minutes to figure out the mechanics of this toy than have my toy ruined the first time I take it in the shower!

The motor is at the base of the shaft, so the vibrations are strongest there instead of the tip. Silicone, besides being phthalate-free, transfers vibration quite well so the entire toy has a pretty decent buzz, but if you’re looking for a toy for external stimulation only, your might be better off with something like the Baby Bug. All in all, I would give this toy a 3.5 out of 5 on the power scale. It’s no Hitachi Wand (the only toy that gets a 5 on my scale) but there is definitely enough power to make my toes curl up.

One thing I really love about the Stranger is that the silicone shaft can be sterilized. All you need to do is wipe it down with a ten percent bleach solution and you’re ready to share your toy with a friend!

Featured Toys For Couples

Wednesday, December 16th, 2009

Nothing says Happy Holidays like a sexy gift for a loved one and we’ve recently updated our Featured Products for Couples category to help you pick out the perfect present.  Today I’m highlighting a few hot items that will make sure 2010 is a good year!

ceduxionFirst up is this super fancy soy candle that’s sure to set the mood for all sorts of fun in the future.  Soy is a renewable resource, so it’s a great gift for your green girl or boy.  Plus it burns a lot cleaner than a typical parafin candle.  We selected the Cinnamon Bun scented candle to feature, but there are plenty of options if you have something against delicious breakfast treats!

The 14-ounce Ceduxion 100% soy candle comes in a frosted glass jar and smells delightful.

Light the candle and once the wax has melted it can be dripped over your lover and used as sensuous massage oil. Seducing all your senses!silk-binding-sash

Next up, we’ve got a gorgeous Silk Binding Sash from the amazing folks at Liberator.  I can’t think of a better gift to unwrap than my girl all done up in this beautiful ribbon!  You could even tie up your partner and then engage in a little wax play with the Ceduxion Candle I just talked about.

Slippery and cool, silk ties are a striking choice for simple bindings, like wrists together, ankles bound or wrist-to-thigh.

However, in more ornate configurations, like full-body harnesses and decorative arm bindings, silk sashes become a vivid web adorning the torso with intricate patterns and loops, like a delicate lace.

Of course, we’ve got a ton of great gift ideas if neither of these float your boat. Personally, I’m hoping Santa will bring us a Liberator Esse!

Top Five Toys I’m Thankful For!

Wednesday, November 25th, 2009

I have a lot to be thankful for in my life. In honor of turkey day, I thought I’d go ahead and make a list of the five sex toys that have rocked my world. This isn’t really a list of my five favorite toys today, although you’ll find a couple on here, but a list of those that have enabled my girl and I to explore new sexual realms and experience insane pleasure while bringing us closer!

The Little Flirt

The Little Flirt

1. Little Flirt – This is the first anal toy I ever used and let me just say it opened the door to all sorts of fun. It’s great for beginners because of the small size and the fact that it’s made out of silicone, so it’s safe and can be sterilized!  I feel super lucky to have started off with such an amazing toy.

2. Mia – I friggin’ love this little guy. While it’s not the most powerful vibe in the world, it’s a must have for women like me that travel a lot. It’s totally discreet, charges via the USB port on your computer and is perfect for a quick O before heading out to woo a potential client! I love having a dependable vibe that doesn’t raise too many eyebrows at airport security.

3. Under the Bed Restraints – Another item that introduced my partner and I to a whole new world of play. While we’ve moved on to more elaborate forms of restraint, we still keep these tucked under our mattress in case the mood strikes. There’s nothing like tying your girl up and teasing her until she begs for more. I recommend these to a ton of people and have never heard any complaints!1underthebedrestraints

4.  Pjur Basic Lube – Lube is basically my best friend and this is the one I use the most. Of course, I have a shoe box full of lubricant for all sorts of different situations, but this is the one I rely on most often. Lube is love, my friends!

5. Ella – I love g-spot stim and this is one of my favorite toys for it. While I still think that the Pjur Wand is the ultimate g-spotter, I love this one because it’s super cheap, really well made and the design works so well with my body. I love being able to recommend a toy to my friends that will rock their world without emptying their wallets !

While I realize that there are more important thing to be thankful for like family and friends, there’s no doubt that a good sex life is part of a satisfying life! It’s actually been pretty interesting to look at my own sexual history through the toys I’ve experimented with over the years and hopefully my experiences can help others get it on!

Loving Juli Ashton

Friday, November 6th, 2009

juli-ashton

I’m a huge Juli Ashton fan, and it’s not just because I’ve seen her naked. There’s a lot more to this woman than some adult fans may realize – she was the first adult actress to own and operate her own production company and was the host of Night Calls for eleven years!  I love ambitious, intelligent women!

Since she’s probably not going to love me back any time soon, I figured I would check out the scene and see how I can get to know her better without, you know, stalking her!

The first thing that caught my eye was the Juli Ashton Pink Pocket Rocket. While this is a really basic toy, I really think it’s one that every woman should own. I’ve owned a couple of them over the years and they’re great for a quick O any time. Because they’re so simple, pocket rockets are also really great to incorporate into your partnered play – everything’s better with buzz!

If you’re a fan of her on camera work, you should take a look at the Juli Ashton 4 DVD Gift Set. This is the perfect set for couples who are looking to learn a little bit and set the mood for a spectacular night of debauchery!

Brought to you from the Alexander Institute, producer of the Ultimate Lovers DVD`s for couples and singles!The Juli Ashton 4 DVD Gift Set Includes:Loving Sex: Toys for Great SexThis erotic guide explores creative ways of using toys and other objects to enhance a couple`s sex life and bring more excitement to their lovemaking. Includes vaginal probes, clitoral vibrators, anal toys, and many more. Juli Ashton and her friends demonstrate the use of exciting toys in various situations and locations.juli-ashtons-pussy

Finally, while this one does nothing for me, I just have to talk about the Juli Ashton UR3 Vibrating Ass and Pussy.  If you’re a die hard fan, this is probably your best chance to know what it’s like to spend an evening with Ms. Ashton! This realistic toy is molded from her hot body!

If you’ve ever dreamed of doing Juli Ashton, here’s your chance. Find endless sexual pleasure with an exact replica of Juli’s pussy and ass. It looks and feels just like her fabulous porn star body. You’ll love the tight fit and wet feel when you lube up and have your way with her!

Don’t pass up your chance to own something endorsed by one of the most beautiful women in the adult industry, Juli Ashton.

Ball Gags for Everyone

Wednesday, November 4th, 2009

Do you ever wish that everyone would just be quiet for a little bit? If you’re looking to silence your partner, may I suggest one of our many ball gags? Whether you’re looking for something for beginners, or for a new treat for your favorite puppy, you’ll find the perfect gag.tantus-ball-gag

First up, let’s start with something for all of those innocent newbies out there. The Beginner Ball Gag from Tantus is the perfect choice if you’re looking for a place to start. While it was designed with beginners in mind, it’s made to last and is something you can enjoy for years to come.

Because silicone is tasteless and odorless, it is ideal for insertion in the mouth. The Beginner Ball Gag is the perfect choice because the outer mouth piece is contoured to fit comfortably (it’s original shape is based on an infant pacifier). The straps are leather that can snap off so you can wash the silicone: it’s boilable, bleachable in a 10% solution and dishwasher safe. Velcro closures on the straps allow for maximum adjustment for head size and ease of fitting.

Of course, if you’re looking for simple, this Ball Gag may be just the item you need to command the respect you deserve.  There are no bells or whistles, just a simple gag to keep your noisy sub in line.

This 1 inch Ball Gag is just big enough to keep most subs quiet. The sturdy Ball is only 1 inch for smaller mouths. The gag is held securely in place with a black strap.

These gags are designed with safety in mind. Simply un-snap and the ball can be easily removed. You can change out the balls without the need to replace the straps.

These ball gags fit from 13 1/2″ to 21″ sized heads. The straps are designed to go under the base of the skull on the back and around to the mouth.

Finally, I have to highlight this hot Dog Bone Bit Gag – it’s perfect for training your new puppy slave.

bone-gagThis 4 1/2in Dog Bone shaped Gag has a leather head strap with buckle to hold it firmly in place. Made of hard rubber, this gag is sturdy enough for even the most difficult pets.

These gags are made with safety in mind. Just unsnap and the bone can be removed, you can change the balls without replacing the straps.

Our small gag fits from 13 1/2″ to 21″ the straps are designed to go under the base of the skull on the back and around to the mouth.

While I’ll avoid making any jokes about giving a dog a bone, I bet there are plenty of people out there just dying to add this one to the mix!

Of course, I will remind you to never leave your partner unattended while wearing a ball gag. Air flow restriction can lead to asphyxiation and that’s no fun for anyone.

avelineI thought we’d talk about G-Spot Sex Toys first today, mostly because I freaking love them.  I can honestly recommend at least a dozen of these toys from personal experience, but today I’m going to highlight Lovemoiselle’s Aveline for a couple of reasons.

Rabbit Habbit VibratorFinally, I couldn’t talk about toys form women without discussing our Rabbit Vibes category! The only toy that rivals the popularity of the rabbit vibe is the legendary Hitachi Magic Wand! Back when I was relatively new to the world of sex toys, a friend gave me the Rabbit Habit, and let me just say that I haven’t been the same since.
