I do love whimsical toys, of all shapes and varieties. I’m also a bit partial to the fun colors like green, orange and blue. I had tried out a Toyfriend a bit ago (that one a rascally rabbit) and thought a differently shaped one would be fun to give a go as well, so when I saw the Cheeky Toyfriend, I decided to request it for review from Good Vibrations.

Kits can be a lot of fun, especially when they have a variety of items. I’m always looking for fun items, and the Playing With Fire Kit from GoodVibes.com has everything you’ll need for a hot night of play.
The Playing With Fire Kit comes with items separately packaged (and all are available separately). The kit contains a Red Hot Bullet Vibe (and 2 AA batteries so you can get going right away), an Ignite Me Massage Candle in Pomegranate Mint, Please Warming Gel, and the erotic anthology Playing With Fire (Taboo Erotica) edited by Alison Tyler.

While I’ve found several lubricants that I enjoy and that work well, I love to try new ones to see if I’ll have a new favorite, or at least another option for an acceptable one. As natural as possible is always good, so I was happy to receive Blossom Organics Natural Moisturizing Lubricant from Good Vibrations to take for a test drive.
Blossom Organics comes in a purple and white cardboard box, along with a large card with more information on the product. The box also has this information. Inside the box is the tube of lubricant.
The 4 ounce tube is also purple and white, and cleanly designed. It looks like a tube of regular moisturizing lotion or hair care product. It’s suitable to keep in the medicine cabinet or out on the dresser – the logo is larger and towards the top of the tube, while the lubricant wording is smaller and farther down the tube.
I like this style of tube (although I admit I prefer pump tops), where the cap is actually on the bottom. This makes it easy to dispense when the product is running out, without having to squeeze or mangle the bottle to get the product out. The flip cap is easy to open and close.
This lubricant has no scent, and is also flavorless: two good properties. It’s pH balanced to mimic the natural chemistry of a woman, and it has no parabens, silicones, glycerin, petrochemicals, hormones, artificial dyes, flavorings, or fragrances. It’s also non-irritating (although if you experience any discomfort or irritation you should discontinue use) and latex friendly (so it’s safe to use with condoms).
The ingredients are: Organic aloe barbadensis leaf extract, sorbitol, hydroxyethylcellulose, hyaluronic acid, organic stevia rebaudiana extract, tocopherol (vitamin E), sodium citrate, potassium sorbate, organic extracts of paeonia albiflora (peony) root, passiflora incarnate flower.
I found it interesting that stevia was an ingredient – it seems that the sweetener I use in my coffee is showing up all over the place! I think this was probably added to make the taste this lube might have disappear.
While the packaging states that this is a water-based lubricant, water itself isn’t listed as one of the ingredients which I also found interesting.
The lube itself is thicker than a liquid, but runnier than a true gel. If you place a pea-sized drop on your finger it will slowly run down, but stays in place reasonably well. It’s not greasy or tacky and just has a wet feel. It stays wet a long time without getting really sticky, and it’s easy to clean up.
So, Did It Work? I liked this lube for vaginal use, whether with toys or with my partner. It added lubrication nicely, and I didn’t have to reapply it during a session. I liked that it didn’t have any scent, and also that it had no taste. I didn’t care for it for anal use, as I thought it was a bit too thin and didn’t seem to work as well as other lubes I have (that are thicker).
I like the flip top, and the fact that the cap is on the bottom. The only thing I didn’t care for is when you dispense it some of the lube ends up around the hole making it a bit messy, and I feel like I’m wasting some when it ends up being wiped off the cap.
Overall, I found this a good lubricant for vaginal use, and would recommend it.

Happy hour. It brings to mind hitting the bar, getting two-for-one drinks, and generally partying it up. Sometimes the drinks are mixed (due to me being incredibly indecisive), while other times I can stick to just one type. With the Happy Hour Kit (also called the Sweet Decadence Kit) from Good Vibrations, it’s a bit of the mix – a variety of products and scents to get you relaxed and maybe a bit in the mood, and a great way to try out some of the scents these products are offered in.
The Happy Hour Kit comes with an assortment of products. In this kit are a pomegranate mint bath fizzy, a pomegranate mint massage lotion, a coconut lime massage bar, pina colada lickable oil, mojito lip lube, and a pearl drop vibrator. The scents don’t sound like they go together, and they are an interesting mix to be sure, but overall the items in this kit – whether you use one or a combination – are fun and a non-alcoholic variation of the bar scene, and I found some scents I really enjoyed in this tropical selection.
Pomegranate is one of my favorite fruits, so I started out with the pomegranate mint products. The Knead Me Massage Lotion is nice. It lasts for a while on the skin before it absorbs, and leaves your skin feeling soft and not greasy, as well as scented. This lotion smells, well…good. It’s fruity, but the mint cuts the fruit smell so its not so overwhelmingly sweet. Surprisingly nice! It’s not latex compatible, and contains Water, Emulsifying Wax, Vegetable Oils (Walnut, Almond, Sunflower, Safflower), Cetyl Alcohol, Octyl Palmitate, Caprylic / Capric Triglycerides, Dimethicone, Vitamin E Acetate, Aloe Vera Gel, Cyclomethicone, Phenoxyethanol, Parabens (Butyl, Ethyl, Methyl, Propyl), Sodium Citrate, Tetrasodium EDTA, FD & C Red No. 4.
The Relax Me Bath Fizzy, also in Pomegranate Mint, is great to use in the bath. The fragrance isn’t as strong as it is in the lotion, but it’s there, and nice, just the same. It leaves your skin feeling soft, and lightly scented. I hadn’t used a fizzy in ages, so this was a wonderful treat. This product contains Sodium Bicarbonate, Citric Acid, Sodium Chloride, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter), Canola Oil, PEG-160, Fragrance.
The Rub Me Massage Bar came in Coconut Lime. It smells more like lime with a light coconut undertone, and the scent is not overpowering. It looks like a bar of soap, but rubbing this onto your skin causes your body heat to melt it into massage butter and allows you to rub it in for a soothing, relaxing massage. It rubs in well and leaves your skin soft and smooth, as well as scented. The bar contains cocoa butter, shea butter, and fragrance oil.
The Devour Me Pina Colada Lickable Oil comes in an ample bottle, with a small hole in the top so it’s easy to get out a few drops at a time. The oil is light and not greasy, and smells delightfully like the drink. It tastes like coconut and pineapple, although the taste is light and not sweet at all, and doesn’t have much of an aftertaste. It washes off (or licks off) easily from the skin.
The Smooch Me Mojito Lip Lube smells like … a Mojito. If you like the smell or taste of the drink, you’ll probably enjoy this one a lot more than if you don’t. The lip lube comes in a tin, so you have to use your finger to transfer it to your lips. It’s smooth, colorless, and not greasy, and really smells for a while, with a light lime taste if you lick it. Lip Lube is all natural and vegan, and contains candelilla wax, sweet almond oil, flavor oils, vitamin E (tocopherol).
This kit also includes the Pearl Drop vibrator to make your Happy Hour complete. This small clitoral vibe is about 4” long and is translucent white in color, with Good Vibrations stamped down the side.
Honestly, I have never had more trouble getting a vibrator open to put in a battery as I did with this vibe! The instructions say “Snap it open”, and try as I might, it wouldn’t come apart. I handed it to my husband, who had just as bad of a time. Finally he gave it a good snap and the pieces came apart. After putting it back together and attempting to open it a few more times, I still have to say it’s frustrating, although it can be done.
It’s a lot of work for minimal results. The 1 AA battery this plastic vibrator runs on produces 1 speed of vibrations, which are moderately low in strength and fairly buzzy. You simply turn the base to turn on the vibe. Don’t turn the base too far though – once it’s on, turning more will turn it off. It is waterproof, so you can take it in the tub while you’re relaxing in your fizzy bath.
So, Does it Work? Overall, this is a nice kit! The variety of scents may seem a little odd at first, but they’re all tropically based. You won’t want to use all of them together, anyways, and you can mix and match them without smelling too much like a basket of fruit. I really loved the pomegranate mint scent – which is funny since this is the scent I would have been least likely to buy. The Mojito was probably my least favorite, even though it did smell a lot like the drink.
The biggest disappointment in this kit was the vibrator. I’ve never had such a time getting one open to put in batteries! The vibrations for the effort weren’t nearly strong enough for me. The vibrator aside, I’d recommend the other products, and this kit is a great way to discover the different scents and goodies that Good Vibrations has to offer in their Body and Massage products.
