Shiny, Pretty, and Small

Sometimes I like my g-spot toys thick, and other times I like them on the thinner side. With the right angle to the head I’ve found a thin toy can be quite pleasurable, and it often can be used in conjunction with another insertable toy. The Shiny G from Shaki toys looked fun, plus it was inexpensive and came with a cock ring, so I decided to pick this up from EdenFantasys and give it a spin.

The Vibrator
The Shiny G (called the Fluorescent G-Spot on the box) comes in a clamshell case that’s easy to open. The vibrator and ring are visible through the front of the case and the back features the different available colors as well as some product information.

I chose the pearl pink, and it’s a pretty color, with a pearly shine and shimmer all up and down. You can see pink and lavender stripes that run vertically down, although the stripes aren’t uniform around the one I got (the front is a more pearly pink in color). The hard plastic is smooth to the touch, and has a noticeable seam that runs up the front and down the back that can be felt by your fingers but not when it’s in use.

The Shiny G is 7 1/4” long (7 1/2″ when measured on the outer curve) and a mere 3/4″ in diameter, about the width of my finger. The head is angled with a blunt tip that’s 3/8” wide and almost 1 1/2” long. This vibrator is meant for g-spot stimulation, although it can also be used clitorally. It should never be used anally coupled with its small size and lack of flared base.

The black base is 1” high, and unscrews from the bottom for battery insertion. A piece of paper comes rolled in the compartment to assist with battery direction for the 2 AAA batteries which go in + side down. The paper is for noise reduction and can be left in the compartment or removed (removing it doesn’t make this vibrator that much louder). The speed of the Shiny G is controlled by a twisting the dial on the bottom, which turns about 1/2 way in each direction.

The vibrations are only moderately strong and are high and buzzy. They are concentrated in the tip but can be felt all the way down the shaft.

The Shiny G is made of plastic, so it’s non-porous and phthalates free. It should be washed before and after each use with warm water and antibacterial soap or your favorite toy cleaner. Care should be taken when washing not to get any water on or near the base, as this is not waterproof and water can easily enter the battery compartment.

The Cock Ring
The ring that comes with the Shiny G is purple. It’s stretchy and has no smell or taste. The packaging doesn’t say what the material is, but it feels like TPE. It’s a bit sticky to the touch. Unstretched the ring is 1 1/4″ in diameter (with an internal diameter of 5/8”) and about 3/4″ high. It stretches to about a 2” internal diameter. Around the outside is a ring of triangles.

The ring can be worn at the base of the penis, or slipped over the bottom of the Shiny G for extra stimulation. The ring is easy to clean with warm water and antibacterial soap.

So, Did it Work? This isn’t a bad little vibrator, although not a great one either. The vibrations are not very strong – they aren’t weak, but only moderate in intensity – and I would have preferred them much more intense. I also found the tip to be too small for me. While I could hit my g-spot with it and it didn’t feel bad, it would have worked a bit better for me if the tip was wider.

This worked pretty well for clitoral stimulation. Since it’s hard I could really get pressure on my clit, but again, the vibrations were a bit lacking. It was fine for warming up before I had to switch to another toy, as well as after orgasm, when I was much more sensitive and receptive to the lower stimulation.

One thing that was good about the small size of the Shiny G was that I could use it with another non-g-spot toy internally at the same time.

The cock ring is an average ring. It works fine for keeping your partner erect. I didn’t find the triangle nubs around the outside to do much for me, but the ring itself was fine and worked as expected.

Overall, this is too small and not powerful enough for me, but you might enjoy it if you like slimmer toys that can be used both on your clit and g-spot. It’s also easy to hide away. Plus it comes with a cock ring so your partner can have some fun as well.

I purchased my Shiny G at EdenFantasys. If you’d like to buy one for yourself, you can get one by clicking on the widget below.

Beautiful in Blue and White

The more cuffs I have, the more I seem to want. I’ve decided that it’s a bit redundant to have everything in black – you can only really have so many different designs and styles in the same color. I had obtained the Spartacus Divinity Collar a while ago, and it was such a refreshing color that I decided it was time to add to the set, starting with the Spartacus Divinity Wrist Cuffs from EdenFantasys.

These wrist cuffs come in an easy to open plastic clamshell, with the cuffs rolled and visible through the front. The insert visible through the back of the case gives some general information about the product in 4 languages. The cuffs have a light leather scent right out of the box.

The Divinity Wrist Cuffs are lovely. They are made of white, fine-grained leather and are soft and supple. The actual cuff piece is 2” wide and 9” long. Attached to this is the top strap which is 1” wide and 12” long, and connected to the cuff by 4 silver rivets between which is attached a 1 1/4” D-ring. Two rivets also hold the square metal end loop. Two blue gems set in silver are on each side of the D-ring. The coating on the metal does contain nickel.

The top strap on the cuffs is stitched in dark blue thread on the top side, which is even and secure. It is sewn to another piece of white leather, with white stitching on the underside. The opposite end of this strap has Velcro for closure. Sticky Velcro is a 1” piece at the end. After a 2 1/2″ gap, a 3” strip of Velcro is sewn to the strap for attachment. The Velcro is all securely stitched to the strap with white thread.

The cuff piece is lined on the inside with a light blue faux fur, which is soft to the touch. The stitching is only noticeable in a few places, and it is the same dark blue as the top. The fur covers the rivets and creates a smooth sensation against the skin.

The cuffs can be tricky to put on by yourself, particularly if your wrists are on the larger side. As long as most of the Velcro at the end connects to the Velcro strip the cuffs will stay on through moderate pulling and tugging and won’t pull off. For the Velcro to connect securely the cuff part must overlap. Even when tight on the wrists, the fur keeps them comfortable and prevents chafing. The Velcro also adds the ability for your partner to quickly remove them if necessary.

The Divinity Wrist Cuffs are easy to care for. The leather can be wiped with a damp (not wet) cloth as needed, and a leather cleaner can be used when necessary. The fur can be dampened or spot cleaned. Care should be taken not to soak the leather. The cuffs can be stored flat, or gently rolled.

So, Do They Work? I really love the look of these. The white and blue is a lovely combination and really feminine. Even though the cuffs are wide, they are graceful. They match beautifully with the other pieces in the set (collar, ankle cuffs, and blindfold) and look nice on their own as well.

These cuffs run small – a lot smaller than other wrist cuffs I’ve purchased – so you should be aware if you have larger wrists that they may be too tight. I found that if the sticky Velcro piece wasn’t securely attached (and the cuffs overlapped a bit) that flexing my wrists would cause these to pop off – I could hear the Velcro pulling apart with my motions. Even when I had these on tightly, though, they were comfortable on my skin. The fur lining is very soft and pleasant to wear.  If you think these will be too small, the Ankle Cuffs would be a good option to use.

We had a lot of fun with these! My husband thought the look was erotic when paired with a white mini skirt, blue nipple jewelry and the rest of the set (collar, ankle cuffs, and blindfold), The color combination was heavenly.

I purchased the Divinity Wrist Cuffs from EdenFantasys. If you’re interested in expanding your cuff collection and are in to light to medium play, or just want to accessorize with a different look, these are a great choice.

Make Your Kitty Slippery!

When I opted to get the Hello, Kitty! vibrator, I felt that it would be fun to get a new lube to go with it. I needed one that was water-based so I could use it with all of my other toys, as well as one without aspartame (which seems to show up a lot in lubes, unfortunately). Slippery Kitty! made me laugh (what better to use on Hello, Kitty! than a lube for kitties?) so I had to try this one out from EdenFantasys.

Slippery Kitty! Au Naturel is made in the US by Tickle Kitty. It comes in a 2 oz bottle, which is a great size to try out the product. The bottle is clear and has an interesting picture on the front – a woman’s eyes above the name and a silhouette of a woman in a cat suit on her knees below. The bottle says it’s safe on condoms.

The bottle has a flip top and comes sealed underneath. This lubricant is clear, and has a light, somewhat fruity scent that isn’t strong or overpowering. It doesn’t really have a taste to it. It’s thin and a bit runny, with a light, wet texture. The lube isn’t sticky right away and just feels slick and slippery on your fingers or on a toy.

Slippery Kitty! doesn’t last a long time without reapplication – about 10 minutes or so. It gets a little tacky when it dries, but it’s not super sticky. It’s easy to clean up and doesn’t spill or flake. I managed to get a fair amount on our throe and sheets and it didn’t leave a stain or spot after laundering.

Slippery Kitty! is a water-based lubricant, and should be stored at room temperature. It contains water, aloe, barbadensis (aloe vera), leaf juice, glycerin, PET, carboxymethyl Hydroxyethylcellulose, sodium benzoate, tocopheryl acetate (vitamin E acetate), propylene glycol, tetrasodium edta, dimethicone copolyol, methylparaben, imidizolidinyl urea, so if you’re allergic to any of these you’ll want to steer clear.

So, Does It Work? This isn’t a bad lubricant. It’s a bit thinner than I prefer, but it slicks things up nicely. I would have liked a pump top better than the flip top – it can get a bit messy down the bottle sides when you apply it. A bit longer lasting would have been good, but overall it made my toys slippery and easy to use. It worked fine on the Hello, Kitty! vibrator as well.

Where this lubricant didn’t work was anally. It was simply too thin and light to work well for anal toys and didn’t last nearly long enough before it dried.

I picked up Slippery Kitty! at EdenFantasys. If you’d like to see how slippery it gets your kitty, you can get yours at EdenFantasys by clicking the widget below.
