Icicles No. 11

Monday, May 2nd, 2011

One of the ladies over at HotMoviesforHer.com recently reviewed one of the glass dildos from Pipedream’s Icicles line and I thought I’d share it with you this morning.

Some people love vibrators. Some swoon over anal toys. Me? I am a dildo fan through and through. Sure, I can be enticed by the methodic buzz of a vibe at times, but when it comes to my go-to toys to get me off, you can be rest assured that a dildo is what I am reaching for. But don’t think just any dildo will do, my friend – oh no, I am quite specific when it comes to anything that fills me up just right. First of all, it needs to be body-safe, meaning that the toy is free of harmful chemicals (like phthalates).

Earthly Body’s Waterslide Lubricant

Monday, February 21st, 2011

It’s been a while since we’ve talked about lube, so I thought I’d write up a review for one of my new favorites, Earthly Body’s Waterslide.

The first thing I consider when checking out a new lubricant is the ingredients list. If a company doesn’t care enough for my health to make a body-safe product, I’m not going to spend my money with them. Earthly Body has nothing to worry about because they obviously put some thought into their formulation. Waterslide is sugar, glycerin and paraben-free. I try to avoid all three!

Three is apparently the magic number, because that is exactly how many ingredients you’ll find in this bottle of vegan water-based lube: Purified Water, Propanediol (Natural Humectant) and Natural Carrageenan (Sea Plant). I don’t know about you, but I like the sounds of that!

While that’s all well and good, what really counts is how well a product works and I can definitely recommend Waterslide. I’ve got enough lube to last a lifetime and this one works as well as my favorites. The only complaint I have is that it has a bit of an odd taste. It’s not horrible, but I could do without it.

Because it is a water-based lube, it’s safe to use with condoms and toys of all types. I have a lot of silicone toys, so I always make sure to have a bottle of water-based slick stuff on hand to use with them. Silicone-based lubes will ruin your expensive silicone toys, so make sure to never use them together!

If you’re looking for an all-natural product that works well without one hundred thousand extra chemicals, you should definitely check out Earthly Body’s Waterslide!

Toy Review – Wartenburg Wheel With Sheath

Monday, February 7th, 2011

I may not have a dungeon in my basement, but I do like to experiment with kinky stuff once in a while and it’s that desire that lead me to the Wartenburg Wheel from Kinklab.

The Whartenberg Pinwheel is a seven inch metal wand that a spiked wheel at the end that rolls like a paint roller. The wheel is about one inch in diameter. The basic idea is to roll this bad boy up and down the skin to tease or torture.

If you apply very light pressure, it’s actually really good for teasing your partner. A blindfold and this tool are all you need to drive someone crazy in all the right ways.

For more experienced players, heavy pressure will result in a more painful, but just as delightful experience. While one should always be careful, I was able to use a lot of pressure without damaging my own skin when I was first experimenting with it.

This is actually perfect for people who are experimenting with BDSM, because if you don’t enjoy a more painful play session, you’ve got yourself something to tease and tickle with! Plus, at under fifteen bucks, it’s one hell of a deal in a time when people are reluctant to splurge.

BTW, for those of you who like pervy history, you should know that the Wartenburg Wheel was invented by Dr. Robert Whartenberg test nerve responses.

Weeny Wednesday VI – Show Me The Bunny!

Wednesday, October 6th, 2010

This review of the Silicone Lover’s Arouser Bunny is sanctioned by His Majesty, Emperor Weenie.  In honor of a favorable review, Sextoys.com is offering this awesome bunny at 25% off for the next week.

Show Me The Bunny

October 6, 2010, Weeniedom – Hooboy “Captain” Happy reporting:

With the help of my faithful assistant, Princess HooHoo, I am proud to report that I have found a new secret weapon in the weenie arsenal – the Silicone Lover’s Arouser Bunny!  Weenies, if you’ve ever had the thought (and I know you have) “Boy, I sure do envy her rabbit,” take heart.  This bunny, while insufficiently masculine in it’s pink color, will absolutely change the course of any day or night operations you undertake.

Right out of the box, this one is a winner.  It had no stinky smell, it is well built and everything was in working order.  The sleeve portion (our body armor) stretches very well, and the bullet slides right into the bunny part of the sex toy.  The nubs along the sleeve are soft, yet firm enough to give extra sensation when you’re all the way in.  Also, the bunny has nubs running down it for extra stimulation for her.

The bullet is powerful and fairly quiet.  But the best part of the bullet is that it will make every weenie vibrate, so we, the weenies, and the rabbit are vibrating simultaneously.  It’s amazing!  It’s like turning every weenie into the perfect rabbit vibrator.  Now, I will say that some love to your princess, and some lube are required to make this operation go off without any hitches.

And, it is better to approach this mission from the bottom.  I tried a few angles, but watching the action from below while she was in ecstasy was the best angle of all.  And hoo boy, was there some action.  She was definitely having some fun courtesy of weeniedom.

On a related note, all of the nubs along the shaft are great for caressing the G-spot at full penetration.  All weenies can do that math: clitoral stimulation + labial vibration + G-spot stimulation + a little weenie magic = ONE SERIOUSLY HAPPY PRINCESS.  Weenies, do not get caught in the field without this weapon at your disposal.

Toy Review – Ass-Berry – Blackberry

Monday, August 30th, 2010

I’m going to start this review by admitting that I never used this toy as it is intended. While I haven’t seen any horror stories about this toy getting lost up inside someone’s ass, I wasn’t convinced that the base was 100% reliable. I know way too many people at my local ER to ever risk ending up there with something lost inside of me. Sorry. However, I had a lot of fun with this toy, so I thought it was worth talking about.

The Ass-Berry is made of Intramed, a thermoplastic material developed by Rocks Off that I didn’t know much about so I put on my research had and looked into it. Apparently, it is hypo-allergenic, non-porous and phthalate-free. Like silicone, it can be sterilized with a 10% bleach solution and what’s even better is that you can use silicone lube with it. While I still prefer silicone toys because there’s a little mystery regarding Intramed for me, it seems like a good alternate material.

I really enjoyed the textured body and it made it different enough from my other small bullet-type vibes to stand out. I’m a huge fan of this small vibes that add to the experience without dominating it, so it was a welcome addition to our bedroom. While I wasn’t sure about the flared base, it does provide a great grip on this toy. A lot of small vibes like this are hard to control when things get a little wet and wild and I haven’t run into that problem with this one.

One of the best things about this toy is that it includes the RO-80mm bullet vibe. It’s one of my favorite small vibrators and definitely packs a punch. It’s also pretty quiet, especially when used in conjunction with the Ass-Berry. Because it’s so small, it’s great for travel. We took it along on a weekend away recently and boy was I glad!

While I may not be getting the most out of this toy, it’s one that we’ve used numerous times and really like. If you’ve had great experiences with butt play and the Ass-Berry I’d love to hear them. With a little coaxing, I could be updating this review in the future!
