Pure And Simple

Posted on May 14, 2010 | 5 comments

Lately I’ve been fascinated with – nay drawn to – metal toys. I love the weight, the feel, everything about them. Originally all I had in metal were a variety of plugs. Although I’m now the satisfied owner of the njoy Eleven, when I first decided to expand my collection a little bit more I opted to pick up the njoy Pure Wand from EdenFantasys.

The Pure Wand comes in the signature njoy black box with a white outer wrapper. The box is hinged, and inside the Pure Wand rests on a bed of hot pink satin. A small booklet is included with information on the Pure Wand and other njoy toys. The box is ideal for storing this toy when it’s not in use.

This is not a light toy. The Pure Wand weighs in at 24 ounces, which is heavier than a lot of other toys that I have. It’s smooth and seamless, and cold to the touch out of its box. The Pure Wand has a gentle curve which reminds me a bit of a bass clef in music. Measured along the curve, the Pure Wand is 10” long.

The Pure Wand is designed for g-spot and p-spot stimulation, and is double ended for your choice of size. The small end is topped by a 1” diameter ball and narrows below the ball to its minimum 1/2″ diameter in the shaft. The shaft gradually widens along the curve until it reaches the other end and meets the 1 1/2″ diameter ball.

The Pure Wand works great for solo play. It’s not so heavy that it will tire your arms out easily, and the curve makes it easy to use. It works better for shallow thrusting and pressing on your g-spot. It also works well anally. You can use it with your partner as well, but you’ll want to be careful as the balls can hit uncomfortably inside if either of you thrust with this too fast.

This toy is made of medical grade stainless steel, so it’s very easy to care for. It can be washed with antibacterial soap and water, or cleaned with your favorite toy cleaner. You can also run it through the dishwasher on the top rack, boil it on the stove for 3 minutes, or wash it with a 10% bleach solution. It should be dried and polished with a soft cloth to keep it shiny and spot free. Any lubricant can be used, and just a little bit will do you.

So, Does It Work? I had hoped to achieve a squirting orgasm with the Pure Wand, but that hasn’t happened yet. I’m not sure if it’s because it’s so thin for me or I just don’t get enough leverage. It is, however, a fun toy to use. I like this for either solo play or play with my husband, as long as he doesn’t go crazy fast. It does hit my g-spot, and feels great. I think I’d like this better vaginally if it was a bit thicker.

This is a fun toy for temperature play. Running it under warm water heats it up nicely, and under cold water or for a short time in the refrigerator chills it down. It doesn’t take it too long to heat up to body temperature.

I do really enjoy this for anal play. Again, no hard and fast thrusting. I’ve found that this has to go at a slow, easy rhythm.

While I think I’m partial to the Eleven, which is a much larger metal dildo, the Pure Wand is one I’ll be keeping in my collection. I purchased mine at EdenFantasys, and if you’d like to try the Pure Wand for yourself, you can purchase one by clicking on the widget below.

Black and White Elegance

Posted on May 10, 2010 | 1 comment

My husband and I like to play around with bondage and dress up, and we both find collars and cuffs immensely appealing on me. They aren’t something I’d ever think to wear out of the house, however. When I saw the Cocktail Party Collar and Cuffs set from Ruff Doggie Styles at EdenFantasys, the set really appealed to me.

This set comes packaged flat in a simple plastic bag. It comes in either black and pink or black and white: I chose the black and white. All three pieces are made of a soft, supple leather that has a light leather smell. Each piece is black leather on one side, and white leather on the other, both fine-grain. The edges are smooth and flat, and the pieces are stitched together with black stitching on both sides that is even and secure. The pieces are well made and should last for a long time.

The collar is 17 1/2″ long from end to end, and 3 1/2″ wide when laid flat. When folded over the collar is 1 3/4″. When it’s folded over and snapped, the collar looks just like a shirt collar. The collar is fastened by one top snap and two bottom snaps for adjustability. On the first snap the collar will fit up to a 16 1/2″ neck, and on the second up to a 15 3/4″ neck. If your neck is significantly smaller, this will be rather loose.

The cuffs are each 9” long and 4” wide. When folded over, they are 2”. These look like shirt cuffs when folded. The cuffs also have one top snap and two bottom snaps, and fit 8” wrists and 7 1/4″ wrists depending on the snap used. Just like the collar, if your wrists are a lot smaller, these will be loose.

Both the collar and cuffs are reversible, so they can be worn with the white overlaying the black, or the black overlaying the white for a completely different look. The only thing that looks different is when the black is used on the outside, it’s the bottom of the snap you see at the closure.

The leather is smooth against the skin and feels comfortable to wear, although it will trap a bit of sweat between your flesh and the pieces.

Since these are made of leather, they are easy to care for. They can be wiped with a damp cloth and soapy water if necessary, and can be conditioned with leather cleaner.

So, Did They Work? These looked wonderful on! The collar fit my neck fine and wasn’t too loose, and the cuffs fit well on my wrists. The first night I wore them with the black as the cuffed part, and paired with a black leather skirt and black boots they looked really cute and really made the outfit. I tried them with the white as the cuffed part, and under a blazer as well. It’s not what I would wear out of the house, but it looked pretty hot for dictation play. My husband found these very sexy.

These aren’t meant for heavy play, but look wonderfully decorative and really complete a look, whether worn with a skirt or by themselves. Gentle tugging is fine, but a hard tug on the front caused this to come open. It may not be as easy to open on smaller necks if there’s more space between your neck and the collar.

I bought mine at EdenFantasys, and you can pick up the Cocktail Party Collar and Cuffs set for yourself by clicking the widget below.

Tulip Or Cow Horn? Cute Either Way

Posted on May 9, 2010 | 1 comment

The Tulip Wand is an interesting vibrator that I picked up from EdenFantasys.  The packaging it comes in proclaims “Cow King’s Horns (L)”, and if it weren’t pink, you could mistake it for one (and in green it’d look like an alien antenna).  This really made me chuckle.   It’d be even more amusing if there were 2 in the box, however, as you could adapt these to a headband for a costume.

This vibrator comes in an easy to open clamshell case and is visible through the front.  Product information and directions are on the back.  This one comes from China and it has one of my favorite toy box slogans ever, which I’ve seen on a few other toys – “Enjoy Your Happy Life Everyday!” – which is a wonderful slogan to live by.
This does look a bit like a tulip bulb sitting upon a stalk (although I really like the other visual better).  The whole toy is 9” long measured along the curve, with about 6” insertable.  The toy is smooth and velvety to the touch, but since it’s made of plastic it’s firm and inflexible.  This vibrator is meant for g-spot stimulation, although it also works clitorally.  It doesn’t have a flared base, so I’d recommend against using it anally.
The head is 1 1/4″ long and 1 1/8” wide with a pointed tip for easy insertion.  It narrows in to about 3/4” when it starts the stalk and widens to 1 1/4″ right above the control button. 
 The control is on the front of the toy.  It’s red and shaped like a peanut.  The top has the #7 on it to cycle through the functions, while the bottom is labeled on/off.
The bottom of the wand unscrews to reveal the battery compartment.  It takes 2 AAA batteries, and their direction is clearly labeled.  An O-ring is nestled under the threads to make this waterproof when the cap is securely tightened on.
Pressing on/off turns the wand on at a fast, steady vibration which is felt strongly in the tip and to a lesser extent down the shaft.  Subsequent pushes on the 7 yield:
–       high steady vibration
–       very high steady vibration
–       throttle-y rev up
–       fast pulse
–       super fast pulse
–       very high steady vibration
–       fast steady vibration (the initial speed when on)
The vibrations are buzzy and mostly surface vibrations.  On the high speeds it sounds like an electric toothbrush, with a rather sonic whine at a high pitch.  The sound can be very distracting while using this – it made me feel like my teeth were on edge.
The wand is made of ABS plastic with a polyurethane coating so it’s nonporous and phthalates-free.  It has no taste or smell.  It’s easy to keep clean: simply wash before and after use with antibacterial soap and water and gently dried.  Water based and silicone lubricants are safe to use.
So, Does It Work?  The sound aside, this is a decent vibrator for clitoral stimulation.  The head is just the right size and it’s easy to get pressure where I need it.  The vibrations are decent although not earthshaking, and I’d be a lot happier if they were stronger.  
The firmness and length allowed for good g-spot stimulation, but this wand was a bit too thin on its own.  When used with another toy, however, it worked much better and really pressed inside where it needed to.
The sound was what bothered me the most with this one.  I don’t mind a loud toy (I am an avid Hitachi user), but when the sound is too high pitched it makes me grit my teeth.  The patterns and the lower two steady vibrations are just noisy – it’s the highest steady one that gets to me.
If you don’t like superstrong vibrations and prefer a smaller width toy, the Tulip Wand isn’t a bad choice for g-spot experimentation.  Just be prepared for the sound.  I got mine at EdenFantasys and you can too by clicking the widget below.

Let The Babelight Light The Way

Posted on May 8, 2010 | 2 comments

Ever needed a small, discreet vibrator handy, but hate digging through your purse to find one? Need a light on your keychain to help you get the key in the keyhole? Or think sex might be fun in the dark with just a little light to guide you? The Babelight from Babeland may be the answer you’re looking for.

This is really a cute little vibrator. It comes in a rainbow of colors – 6 to be exact. I chose the blue one, and it’s a deep, clear blue. The Babeland logo is printed up one side. I would have preferred a more discreet logo so I could safely put this on my keychain!

The body feels smooth, and you can see the battery inside. The Babelight is just 3 3/4″ long (5 1/2″ total with the keychain) and 3/4″ in diameter at its widest point. The keychain is attached through the plastic at the base. The cap is about 1 1/4″ long, and it’s super slick and shiny.

The cap unscrews to get to the battery compartment. No watch batteries here! The Babelight uses 1 AAA, which goes in positive side up. There is a small O-ring to make this waterproof, and it’s located up under the threads. The battery has a decent lifespan.

The Babelight can be turned on by twisting the cap down on to the base. When the connection is made, it starts to vibrate, and a small light glows from the cap. When held by the keychain, it’s not too loud – about as loud as a vibrating cell phone. If you choose to let the keychain hit the unit, however, it’s a louder.

The vibrations aren’t very strong, and they are quite buzzy. They are felt mainly in the cap end, although you can also feel them down the base. It works well for light clitoral stimulation, but if you need a lot of power, this probably isn’t for you. While it could be used vaginally, it’s really too small to do so effectively, and it should never be inserted anally since it doesn’t have a flared base. While the keychain could be used to pull it out, if it were to snap, you’d have a flashlight stuck up in your ass.

The light isn’t tremendously strong, and glows the color of the Babelight. It is strong enough to eluminate words in a book or a keyhole if you hold it very close. There’s no way to have the vibrator on and the light off at the same time – it’s either both or nothing.

The Babelight is made of plastic, so it’s nonporous and phthalates-free. It’s easy to clean with antibacterial soap and warm water (make sure to have the cap securely tightened so water doesn’t get in).

So, Does It Work? It is a cute little vibrator, and inexpensive to boot. Without the logo up the side I’d be willing to put this on my keychain. The cap stays securely on the base and doesn’t seem to loosen or tighten without some manipulation.

The vibrations are not as strong as I’d hoped, but they’re not bad if you like light stimulation or are teasing yourself before the main course.

And, it’s a flashlight!  It’s fun to use this in the dark and tease your partner.
