Toy Review – Lily

Sunday, March 1st, 2009

lilyLelo’s Lily is proof that sometimes good things do come in small packages.  This tiny luxury vibe is only the size of my little girly palm, but it packs quite a punch in the bedroom.

I was impressed right off the bat because the Lily arrives in a gorgeous black box that is perfect for storage.  The rechargeable vibe sits in a tray and the charger can be stored underneath the tray out of the way.  I love that the cord can be stored with the Lily, so there’s no risk of confusing the 800 chargers I have around the house!

The fact that this discreet vibe is rechargeable makes me a very happy girl.  Besides being inconvenient, batteries are expensive and most likely going to end up in a landfill.  I’d rather pay a little more for a quality toy that is rechargeable since it’s better for the earth and my wallet in the long run.

The Lily is made out of smooth phthalates-free plastic and is really easy to operate.  There are two buttons, one turns it on and increases the speed of the vibe, the other decreases until it turns off.  I like to take this Lelo toy on the road with me because you can hold both buttons down and lock the toy so it won’t accidentally turn on in my bag.  Nothing will put a damper on your trip like a bomb scare or a drained battery!

The Lily is easy to maintain, you can wash it with soap and water or clean it with a toy wipe.  Just mind the hole the charger plugs into because water and electronics, as you well know, don’t mix.  Because this vibe is made from plastic, it is compatible with any kind of lube.

Of course, I’m sure many of you are more concerned with how this baby performs before researching health and safety concerns.  While the Lily isn’t going to blow your mind with it’s sheer power, it’s a really nice personal massager.  It’s not the toy I grab for when I’m looking for a quickie, but it’s perfect for a long evening by yourself!

Personally, I think that the Lily is best for partnered play, whether you’re sitting on it while going down on your lover or using it on your clit during penetration, it really enhances the situation.

On a less dirty note, I’ve found that this vibrator is great for a neck and back massage during a long drive.  I also like to curl up with it resting on my belly when I’ve got cramps.  I would pick this one up for that alone!

Overall, Lelo’s Lily is a really nice personal massager.  It’s well crafted and even comes with a one year warranty!  Even the biggest size queens should be intrigued by this pint sized vibe.

Ginger Leigh’s Sunday Wishes

NEA White

NEA White

1. The NEA White by LELO.  I wish I had it.  It comes with its own pretty little box.  It is a vibrator, but also a paper weight.
 
2. I wish Buck would come back to the office and clean up his toe nail clippings.  He took it upon himself to go on Spring break.  Oddly, I miss the faint snapping sound of his clippers.

3. The coming of Spring makes me think of beautiful Easter lilies.  Speaking of which, the LILY Plum by LELO is something I wish I could spend my Sunday with.
 
4. Barbeques!  Spring is the perfect time of year for outdoor gatherings with close friends.  What better way to lounge around eating chicken and ribs than in the Fantasy Swing?

5. Lizards!  No, not barbequed lizards.  I need to finish my Lizard costume before the show in D.C. next weekend.  I wish I had an extra week to work on it.

6. The GIGI is certainly something I wish for when throwing coins in the fountain.  Although, I don’t want it until this blog comes to an end.  It is said to make all other sex toys obsolete!

7. Now I wish I had a Diet Coke from a soda fountain.

8. I wish the Easter Bunny would put the LIV Cerise in my Easter basket instead of those icky marshmallow things.  Who eats those anyway?

Ultimate Douche

Ultimate Douche

9. I know who eats them, the Ultimate Douche!

10. Unique carrying cases, velvet touches, hygienically superior materials, LED control panels, vibrators that fit perfectly in your little paws, maximized G-spot stimulation; I wish I had all of the toys by LELO!

Featured Product- Scoop Lover

Friday, February 27th, 2009

scoop2

For a lot of women, the clit is where it’s at, and the folks over at Cal Exotic must have been well aware of that when they created the Scoop Lover!  This  ergonomically designed vibe is designed to buzz your magic button with minimal effort.

This multi-speed plastic vibe is controlled by a the dial knob that is located on it’s base and runs on 2 AAA batteries.   Plastic is a phthalate material and is easy to care for and clean.  Unfortunately, it can’t be sterilized, but you can wipe it down with soap and water and keep it in good shape.

This clitoral massager is a great for solo play and an easy way to add some extra excitement to partnered play.  The scoop on the end (hence the name) is designed to cradle your clitoris for maximum stimulation!  For those of you who love long lingering showers, the Scoop Lover is waterproof.

While it’s not as discreet as a pocket rocket, this toy is small enough to stick in an overnight bag at just 7.5 inches long.

Whether you’re looking for a new clit vibe to add to your extensive toy collection or a newbie looking to experiment in the wonderful world of sex toys, the Scoop Lover is one to look at.

Lelo’s LIV Makes Another List of the Best

Thursday, February 26th, 2009

The Times of London has a guide to new luxury sex toys, and we aren’t surprised to see that Lelo made the cut – again.  The LIV was listed among the best.  For those of you who aren’t familiar with LIV, here’s the information.

“Versatile, smooth and sleek, the high-tech LIV vibrator is designed to enhance your play time visually as well as with your sense of touch. The Liv has a rounded head that narrows on a slight curve to a narrow neck and widening toward the base.

LIV by Lelo

LIV by Lelo

This blue vibrator has a velvet touch. It comes with a 5 mode variable control, a black case and a 1 year warranty.

The LED lit control panel allows for fingertip control. It also has a locking function to prevent your vibrator from activating while travelling or at any other inopportune moment.

This toy is an elegant, powerful addition to any collection.”

At this point, we’re only surprised when we don’t find a Lelo vibrator on the luxury list.  Their quality has developed a reputation world-wide.  Make sure to catch the interview with Lelo’s Shaye Saldana in this week’s Sunday Sex Toy Review.

Ginger Leigh’s Wish List: Iris by Lelo

Wednesday, February 25th, 2009

While I could add every product created by Lelo to my Wish List, I will refrain from being greedy.  Since I have to pick one, I am going with the Iris.

Iris

Iris

The Iris can be used for either external or G-spot stimulation.  There are two motors.  One is placed at the tip and the other is halfway down the shaft.  The inventor of this deserves a raise at the very least.
 
Vibration is a woman’s best friend.  The more erogenous spots that can receive it, well, woohoo!  The vibrations can be continuous at the crown, the base of the stem or throughout the entire toy.  You can also choose from short or extended interval pulsations.  Can you say instant orgasm?
 
I love that this can be used as a G-spot stimulator, yet is not 3 feet long with a 90 degree angle.  Not everyone needs something the size of a small golf club in order to hit their internal orgasm zone.  Thank you for noticing, Lelo.
 
While the motors are powerful, they are also quiet.  With some toys you might as well walk out of your front door and yell at the top of your lungs, “hey everyone, I am masturbating”.  The Iris also has a well thought out control system.  It has a quick shut off feature and a locking option.  I won’t have to worry about it accidentally turning on when I am not using it.  I am extra excited about this because I had a related incident with my bullet the other night.  I pulled it out of my drawer only to get one lethargic buzz and then, wait for it, nothing.  It was bummer-ville, USA.  Not with the Iris!

This toy has a simple feminine look to it.  It looks like a flower for my flower.  An LED light is used with the control system.  Ahh, pretty.  Of course this product is phthalates free and hypo-allergenic.
 
Does the Iris have to go on my Wish List?  I want it right now!

Featured Products – Mini G Rock

Monday, February 23rd, 2009

minigrockI don’t know very many women who aren’t intrigued by the idea of a vibrator that stimulates the g-spot and clit at the same time.  That’s like passing up a scoop of ice cream with your birthday cake!

The Mini G Rock from Cal Exotics is five inches long (3.5 insertable) and has a circumference of 3.25 inches.  Of course, if you’re looking for something a little bigger you can always consider it’s big brother the original G Rock, which measures in at 8 inches (5 insertable.)

Crafted out of TPR Silicone, this unique vibe is phthalates-free and should be wiped down with an anti-bacterial soap and water after each use.  The bullet can be removed before cleaning, which means you can submerge it.  Even with the bullet inserted, this vibrator is waterproof!

This compact toy is ergonomically contoured to fit a woman’s body.  It flexes for comfortable use and the curved shape is designed for simultaneous G-Spot and clitoral stimulation.

Toy Review – Baby Bug

Thursday, February 19th, 2009

babybugIf you’re in the market for a discreet vibe that’s as well-crafted as it is cute, you need look no further than the Baby Bug!  I’ve never met a Fun Factory toy that I didn’t like and this one is no exception.

This five inch vibe offers a lot of options compared to a lot of other miniature vibrators.  It’s multi-speed, which is something I always look for, and also offers three different pulsation patterns that drive me crazy.   It’s two button control system is really easy to use – press the plus button to increase speed and go through the pulse patterns and the minus button to  head in the other direction.

This quality vibe really offers a lot of power for a toy that runs on 2 AAA batteries, probaby because silicone transfers vibration quite well.  Another thing I really like about this sex toy is that it’s waterproof!

The thing that really sets apart Fun Factory, in my opinion, is the quality of their products, especially the medical grade silicone they use.  It’s phthalate-free, hypo-allergenic and feels amazing.  The only thing you should keep in mind is that you should never use silicone lube with a silicone toy, but lucky for us Fun Factory ships their toys with a sample of their water-based lube, Toy Fluid.

As far as maintainance, you can clean this guy up with anti-bacterial soap and water.  You can also completely sterilize the Baby Bug by wiping it down with a 10 percent bleach solution.  I typically send my silicone toys through the dishwasher to sterilize them, but that’s not a good idea for any toys that have electrical components.

Overall, this small vibe really stands out compared to other small vibes I’ve used in the past.  If you’re looking to invest in a toy that is built to last, I can recommend this one.

Featured Products – Natural Contour’s Liberte

Thursday, February 19th, 2009

liberteWomen who are looking to experiment with g-spot stimulation, or who are just looking for a quality vibe that won’t set them back a day’s pay, should take a look at the Natural Contours Liberte.

The Liberte’s distinct curve is designed to lead you right to the magical Gräfenberg spot and is great for newbies!  It’s simple to use with only one button that navigates you through the three speed options to the exciting pulse pattern.  While vibes with tons of bells and whistles are nice, sometimes it’s nice to lie back and get off with a simple toy that is well designed.

The Liberte runs on two AA batteries, which are included, and is easy to care for.

The Natural Contours line was designed in part by Candida Royale, a pioneer in women’s erotica.  Each toy is designed to ergonomically fit the contours of a woman’s body and is made out of phthalate-free plastic.

My First Vibe!

Wednesday, February 18th, 2009

silverbulletI have more toys than any one person reasonably needs.  This past weekend I was talking with friends about sex toys and, besides making a pact to clean house in the event of a tragedy so our parents don’t have to know how perverted we were, we talked about our first purchases.

Mine was a Cal Exotic’s Silver Bullet, recommended by a more experienced friend, that I picked up when myself and three friends piled into my used car and drove 40 minutes to the big city’s seedy sex shop.

This was before I knew that places like babeland  existed, before I’d ever heard of phthalates, and before I had much of a clue about my body!  I was a big fan of my silver bullet and it served me well until I stepped on the controller and broke it.  In retrospect, I should have taken better care of my room and my vibe – that was one of many lessons I learned in my early twenties!

In the many years since, I’ve definitely branched out, but I always have room for a bullet vibe in my toy box.  Sometimes in life, it’s the simple things…
