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!

I’m guessing I’m not the only one who’s already begun their holiday shopping. I’m all about getting things done early because I’d rather snap my own neck then fight some old lady over the last pair of cashmere gloves at Macy’s. If you’re looking for a gift that keeps on giving for that special someone, I can recommend the Kama Sutra Bedside Box from personal experience!

That’s right, one of the perks of my job is trying out stuff so I can better serve you, dear reader. Of course, I do waste my time with a few duds, but this is one I can suggest to anyone who’s looking to increase intimacy. Inside this elegant wooden box you’ll find plenty of goodies like Kama Sutra’s Honey Dust, Spicy Oil of Love, Lubricating Love Liquid and French Vanilla Body Creme. If that’s not enough to keep you busy in the bedroom, I don’t know what is!

My favorite is definitely the Honey Dust, which comes with a cute feather applicator. I took my time running the feather along my partner’s body before licking the sweet dust off. It’s a great reason to linger over a lover for a long time! I also really like the French Vanilla Body Creme. After taking turns giving sensual massages with it, we were both rewarded with sweet kisses for the rest of the night!

Also included is a small bottle of Kama Sutra’s insanely popular Oil of Love. It’s a flavored warming lube that’s more subtle than a lot of products like it. If you love the idea of a warming lube, but have experienced the fear that comes when dabbing one on as your most sensitive bits are suddenly on fire, you might really like this one because it’s not as extreme. I don’t super love the flavor, but there are other options that I hope to try out in the future.

My only issue came when I picked up the Lubricating Love Liquid to discover that it contains Glycerin. I don’t use lube with that ingredient because my body disagrees with it and I’m not a big fan of yeast infections. I passed it on to a male friend who’s used it for solo play and reports back that it stays slippery and cleans up easy – so that’s good news!

Besides being packed full of sexy fun, this gorgeous box is something that you can leave on your nightstand and fill with all sorts of goodies. I’ve added a couple of my favorite lubes and my chapstick to mine! Whether you’re looking to treat yourself or a loved one, this is a great gift!

What girl doesn’t love a bubble bath?  Of course, I know many men that do also, but I’m talking about me here!  When I had the chance to review Initimate Organics Sensual Foam Bath, I jumped on it.

I was immediately impressed when I picked up the bottle and began reading.  I try to make good decisions about what products I buy and was really excited to see that this bubble bath is vegan-friendly, certified organic and paraben-free.  Nothing will ruin a relaxing soak in the tub quicker than the realization that you’re sitting in a toxic stew!

Not one to waste an opportunity, I ran myself a bath, grabbed a book and settled in for a long soak.  My first impression was that this stuff smelled great!  I’m not super girly, so i hate getting out of the tub and smelling like a flower shop.  This product smells like  Cocoa Bean and Goji Berry – and while I have no clue what a Goji Berry even is – I have to say it was very relaxing and left my skin smelling great.

Speaking of my that, I have to say that this stuff left my skin feeling really great.  My girl couldn’t ge enough of me now that my skin was soft and lightly scented.  I loved the fact that the scent wasn’t overwhelming, just a little extra something for anyone I let get close!

To be honest, I’m not sure how much I can really say about bubble bath.  The bubbles stuck around, it smells great and the ingredient list doesn’t send me running for the hills.  I just can’t wait to get my hands on more Initimate Organic products!

Today’s reviewer is an actual beginner.  She wanted to try a dildo, but never worked up the courage to get one.  Her big hang-up was walking into a store to buy one (hint: we deliver in an inconspicuous package).  So we offered to let her try the Cyberskin Cock and Balls Slimline Dildo from Topco.  To maintain her anonymity, the Experts Team agreed to do a Question and Answer Review.  For the purposes of the review, we’ll call her Alice (her choice).

It’s a first for us, but we think you’ll enjoy it.  So here we go.

One Out of One Newbies Approve

Experts – What was your first impression of the toy?

Alice – I laughed.  Then I laughed some more.  I opened the package and held it for a minute.  It felt like a real penis.  That was a nice surprise.  I expected it to feel funny.

Experts – What did you think of Cyberskin?

Alice – It was clean. I liked that it was smooth and firm.  It was also flexible and not so stiff that it felt like plastic.  It was like the real thing.  I liked it right away.

Experts – What did you think about the size of the toy?

Alice – That was the part that really surprised me.  I thought it looked large in the package.  I was thinking that I wouldn’t be able to use it.  It is long and a little intimidating.  Let’s just say I was not disappointed in trying to use it.  It was a comfortable fit after a few minutes and I LOVED the way it felt.

Experts – What was the best aspect of the toy?

Alice – There were many good things about it.  I liked the look of it – that turned me on after I got over the initial shock.  I loved the way it felt.  It was very realistic and warmed up as I used it.  I liked the texture.  A lot of the dildos I looked at online had these big, ugly veins and ridges.  This one was more like the real thing.  It wasn’t gross.  And I liked how easy it was to clean.  After I read about Cyberskin I thought cleaning would be difficult.  It wasn’t.  And I used cornstarch on it after it dried before I stored it.  Now I can use it again and again.  I will be using it again

Experts – What could be improved?

Alice – I didn’t find many problems.  The only problem I had was controlling it when it got slippery.  Maybe if they put a handle on it or something.

Experts – Would you use another toy?

Alice – I already ordered a glass dildo.

It’s safe to say this one gets 5 stars.

A Big One

Jumbo, ginormous, huge, ominous, or massive – yes, all of those words would cover this dildo.  Adam’s 8 Inch Pleasure Skin Cock is a beast of a dildo, in and out of the box.  I asked for this one because I wanted to have a look for myself at a dildo of this size.  As always, for our purposes we’ll focus on the facts that stand out and what this monster can do.

The huge plus: Size matters, and this one has plenty of size.  Even in the package this is an intimidating monster.  Outside of it, it looks like Godzilla lost his winkie.  This is a very large dildo, so size queens will definitely score it higher for fun.

Texture: It does have a firm texture, and stands up well, given its weight and length.  There is a slight curve because of the weight, but not enough as to render it useless.  The veins along the shaft stand out just enough to be felt and to produce a sensation, even at the fingertips when you’re holding it.

Material: This is where we hit the only drawback.  I had to air this dildo out after washing, because the odor from the material was pretty strong.  Fortunately a good condom covers any issues with gasses, but the original smell was not so hot.  The material is a little tacky to the touch, but otherwise fine.

Suction: This was the most surprising element of all.  This dildo feels like it weighs too much for a suction cup to work.  Good thing we don’t work by feelings alone.  This monster’s suction cup held it firm on wood, metal and pressed board (don’t ask, I don’t have the time to explain).

Most interesting feature:  This is the strange part.  The nut sack on this dildo really does look like a nut sack.  So between the veins, the nut sack and the hulking size, this one is so lifelike that it looks like the real thing.  The real thing off a porn star, mind you, but the real thing.

So this one is definitely a dildo that will have it’s fans, but the size made it a bit impractical for me.  If you’re looking for a date with a porn star, though, you will really love this dildo.  Just bring lots of lube.  You’ll need it.
