5 Questions You Should Ask Before You Buy

Sunday, March 1st, 2009

When we go grocery shopping, we take many things into consideration before we buy.  We may ask ourselves what we’re in the mood for.  We may want to know which food is healthiest.  We will want to make sure the food is clean and safe.  Think of all of the questions you go through, and you’ll see what I mean.

When it comes to buying a sex toy, we should ask the right questions too.  Sometimes, people are disappointed because they make a purchase and they don’t get the sex toy that is designed for what they want.  Or they buy a toy that doesn’t feel right.  All of this can be avoided by asking five simple questions before making a purchase.

These are the questions we suggest that you ask before adding an item to your cart:

1.  What do I want to feel, or what do I want to stimulate?

Sometimes simplest is best

Sometimes simplest is best

Asking this question is essential.  If you want to feel G-spot stimulation, buying a clitoral massager is a bad idea.  The clitoral massager is not designed to stimulate the G-spot.  That’s an obvious anecdote, but what about the more subtle choices?  Some rabbits come with multiple stimulation functions.  You can buy one that stimulates the G-spot, clitoris and labia simultaneously.  Do you want that much stimulation, or do you want something simpler?  Knowing what you want to feel is important.

2.  Is this toy designed to create the feeling I want?

Going back to the first question, taking some time to look at different designs can help you find the right toy.  Size matters with toys too.  If you buy one that is too large or too small, you won’t enjoy it.  Remember to check the details before you buy.  Once you try a toy, you own it.  You don’t want to own something that is of no use for you.  Find more design information here.

3.  What material do I want or need?

Some people have latex allergies.  Some people don’t like toys that are too hard.  Some don’t like toys that are too soft.  The point is, picking a toy that is comfortable requires that you check in to materials.  If you have allergies, you’ll probably want glass, hard plastic or silicone toys.  Also, knowing what’s in a material is important.  Some toys contain Phthalates, and research suggests that these may be dangerous.  Glass, silicone, hard plastic and Cyberskin are Phthalate free.  And are you planning to share the toy with your partner?  If so, you’ll want a non-porous toy.  You can find more information on materials here.  Getting the right material is important.

4.  How am I planning to incorporate the toy into my sexual repertoire?

This one sounds obvious, but it isn’t.  For instance, if you want a toy to share with a partner, you’ll want to get input from your partner to pick a toy you’ll both enjoy.  If you want a bath toy, you’ll need one that is waterproof.  There are many aspects of what you want to do with a toy that will influence which toy you want.

And finally:

5.  Which sex toy is best?

This one leads to the most fun of all.  You’re going to have to experiment to find the perfect toy.  And our moods change from time to time.  All kinds of sensations can be discovered as we experiment with our bodies.  The perfect toy may change as you discover these sensations.

One thing is certain, though.  If you ask these questions before you buy, you’re far more likely to get a great sex toy than one you don’t want.  Take some time to shop and while you do, ask these questions.  You’ll be happier when the box full of pleasure arrives!

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.

Ginger Leigh’s Wish List: Clitifier Triple Pleasure

Tuesday, February 17th, 2009

The next toy on my list is the Clitifier Triple Pleasure by California Exotic.  While it does belong in the rabbit family, there is one feature that stands out from the rest.

Clitifier Triple Pleasure

Clitifier Triple Pleasure

The clitoral stimulator is fully adjustable and flexible!  Accuracy is a beautiful thing when it comes to your clit.  Sometimes I just want to let my toy do the work.  I don’t want to wiggle around and work to find the magic spot.  I love that I can customize this to fit my body.  I always say that rabbit vibrators work wonders when you don’t have much time on your hands.  It looks like I just found an even quicker way to achieve orgasm!

The Clitifier Triple Pleasure has all of the bells and whistles necessary to a quality rabbit vibe.  The shaft bulges around 5 rows of reversible, rotating non jamming beads.  There are 3 speeds of vibration and rotation.  Don’t you just love what that rotation does for your g-spot?  It is waterproof and phthalate free.  This is always good news for cleaning and healthy vaginas!

This product has had mostly 5 star reviews.  The majority of them mention intense, toe twitching multiple orgasms.  There is no surprise there.  I have the feeling I will be re-enacting the scene from The Exorcist where her head spins around when I use this sucker.  Well, minus the projectile split pea soup vomit.
 
 I could go on for days about all of the little functions, features and reviews, but come on.  It has an adjustable clitoral stimulator!  Do I really need to write anymore?

Ginger Leigh’s Wish List: LAYAspot Massager

Friday, February 13th, 2009

This may be the sex toy to end all Wish Lists.  I have read the reviews, and heard firsthand accounts.  Apparently, if you are going to own one vibrator, the LAYAspot Massager by FunFactory is the one to own!

LAYAspot

LAYAspot

Just looking at a picture, I can see why ladies across the land love the LAYAspot.  I also got a great review on this toy from a “real happy lesbian”.  She is both a real lesbian and real happy.    It is shaped to fit perfectly in your hand and lay on all of the right parts.  Your index finger lies directly on the control buttons.  You can simultaneously control the vibration speed and apply pressure to the desired area.  Of course this was designed by a woman; it is pure genius!

This little treasure has all of the components necessary to be deemed a perfect clitoral vibrator.  It has a variety of speeds ranging from slow and sweet to fast and ferocious.  It is whisper quiet.  Little noise equals discretion and less distraction when reaching orgasmic goodness.  It is hypoallergenic, non-porous and phthalates free.  Your naughty bits will thank you for that!

The LAYAspot is water resistant and has a durable motor.  Maintaining and cleaning this toy is hassle free; awesome!  One lucky owner of this toy claimed that she changes the battery four times less than with other vibrators.  Economical and convenient!
 
Well guys, if you are still at a loss for the perfect Valentine’s Day gift, look no further.  This massager will make your special lady happier than any oversized stuffed animal ever will.  If she does not yet own a sex toy, this will be a great start.  It works wonders and has a feminine, non-threatening look.  The Great American Challenge Dildo may be something you should hold off on until she has had some practice.
