You Can Take It With You

Posted on November 28, 2009 by Sammi| 3 Comments
Sometimes you don’t need a behemoth of a vibrator to get you off.  You just want a little something small that packs a punch and can travel with you in your purse.  Pocket rockets tend to be small and portable, but if you dump your purse out onto the bathroom counter, it’s pretty clear what the pocket rocket is for.  But the Incognito Lipstick Vibe by Shaki Toys definitely fits the bill for being discreet.

The Lipstick Vibe is designed to look like a tube of lipstick.  Does it pass the test?  Take a look at the photo below, and see if you can guess which one it is.

Were you able to pick it out?  Did you have a difficult time?  That’s the idea.  Of the 4 people I showed this picture to, only 1 guessed right.

It’s actually the third one from the left.   Anyone would think it was lipstick if they saw this in your purse.  It also won’t turn on by accident, especially with the lid on. 
The Lipstick Vibe comes packaged in a shiny cardboard box, with the inside of the tube displayed through a clear plastic window.  The box is decorated with pictures, front and back, of anime women.  The back of the box contains warranty information (it comes with a 90 day warranty), which is quite fascinating, and spells out that the warranty doesn’t cover acts of God (so if your Vibe gets hit by lightning, you’re out of luck) or if it’s used in any of 8 particular states.  If that was the case, I’d suggest going to a covered state and denying you ever used it elsewhere!

The Lipstick Vibe comes in three color choices: Purple case with red lipstick, black case with red lipstick, or silver case with pink lipstick.  I chose the black case.



The Vibe is about 3 3/4″ long, with a diameter of 7/8”.  It can be inserted about 1 3/4″, but it really works better when used externally on the clit.  The cap comes off to reveal what looks like 1/2″ of red lipstick sticking out of a silver inner lipstick tube.  This tube is about 1 ½” long. 

The entire tube vibrates when turned on, although it’s more concentrated at the tip.  The tip is at about a 45 degree angle, 1/2″ long, and just under 1/2″ wide. 



A small sticker towards the bottom of the silver inner tube shows the 3 positions for the vibrator.  Left is open, center is off, and right is on.  The base has a small silver arrow to indicate which of the positions you are on.  It’s easy to line up the arrow and label and put the vibe back together.


The Lipstick Vibe takes 1 AAA battery, which goes in negative side into the base, positive side into the tube.  There is a small O-ring in place between both parts.   The vibrations are pretty strong for just 1 battery.

The Lipstick Vibe is plastic, so it’s non-porous, latex free, and phthalates-free.  It should be washed with antibacterial liquid soap and water, and patted dry with a soft towel.  It’s not waterproof, so take care not to submerge it while cleaning it.  This vibrator can also be cleaned by wiping it with isopropyl alcohol.



Water-based, oil, or silicone lubricants can be used with this Vibe,  if needed.

It looks discreet, but does it sound discreet?  It depends where you’re planning on using it.  The vibrations are a bit louder than your cell phone on vibrate.  While this can sound very loud if you sneak off to use this in a public, multi stall office bathroom with all the metal and tile around, it’s not quite so noisy in a smaller bathroom setting, and can’t be heard outside the door.   It’s not too easy to hear in a bar bathroom or in a carped office with the door shut, either.


Overall, this is a fun little vibe that every girl should have in their purse for those occasions when you need to sneak away and get off.  
I picked this up on my own dime, and you can too, at EdenFantasys.

Spread Some Holiday Vibrations and Cuteness With Santa Duckie!

Posted on November 27, 2009 by Sammi| 4 Comments
When Babeland.com sent me this toy to review, I wasn’t sure what I would think.  The Santa Duckie vibrator is one of those toys that is almost too cute to use.  Almost. 

From Big Teaze Toys, the Santa Duckie is another in their line of  I Rub My Duckie toys.  With his innocent face, red Santa hat accented in white, to his Santa outfit with white trim and black belt, Santa Duckie is travel sized and oh, so adorable!
Santa Duckie comes in a plastic cubed box, about 4 3/4″ on a side.   He is displayed inside a Christmas ornament inside the box.  The box is easy to open, and once you pull Santa Duckie out, the bottom of the box can be removed for instructions in 7 languages and battery insertion information.
The ornament comes ready to hang on the tree to surprise that special someone on Christmas morning.  This is clever Christmas packaging!
Santa Duckie can be removed from the ornament by untaping the ornament sides, and then unscrewing the cap on the top.  Once Santa Duckie is out of the ornament, the strings holding him to his plastic resting base must be cut so he’s free.
I was surprised at how hard Santa Duckie was.  Having never had an “I Rub My” anything, I was expecting him to be soft and squishy like his regular non-sextoy bathtub counterparts.  But Santa Duckie is hard and firm all over.  The better to rub you with, my dear!
Santa Duckie fits nicely in the palm of your hand.  He’s about 3 1/4″ long, and about 3” high.  He has a very, very light smell, and no taste right out of the box.
His battery compartment is on the bottom.  The compartment can be most easily accessed by using a dime to turn the lid, although it can also be opened with a file or your fingernail.   One AAA battery goes in negative side first, and then the lid can be reattached.  Make sure you have the lid on and closed before taking Santa Duckie in the water!
Above the battery compartment is another dial, which turns Santa Duckie on.  He only has one speed, but it’s pretty strong, and the vibrations fairly powerful.  The vibrations can be felt all over Santa Duckie, from the top of his head to the tip of his tail, and even on his belly.
While not overly noisy when on (about as loud as a vibrating cell phone), Santa Duckie becomes extremely loud if he’s held at angles due to how the battery fits in the compartment.  I tried him with a few different brands of batteries, and some brands were just a little larger and fit better in the compartment.  This made him much quieter than the slightly smaller batteries, which seemed to vibrate against the compartment walls quite loudly.  He’s a little louder in the water, but nothing that can’t be drowned out by some background music.

Santa Duckie is waterproof (I’d expect so!), and comes with a 90 day warranty.  He’s made of PVC, and is non-toxic, latex free, and phthalates free.  If necessary, water-based lubricants can be used to make him slip and slide.

Santa Duckie would be a great gift for that special someone this Christmas.  Or even for yourself.

HNT : Tattoo #3

Posted on November 26, 2009 by Sammi| 1 Comment

So far, I’ve tried a kitty tattoo and a butterfly tattoo.  I’m partial to the butterfly right now, as well as the blue color over black.

Continuing on my tattoo quest, I tried out this one in red and black.  The heart pattern is cute, but I’m not sure about the colors.  Does red last well on tattoos? Let me know what you think!

Editor’s Pick

  • LELO Elise by Scintillectual

    • Remember when I said I was on hiatus from relationships? Well, I lied. I know, I know! I can hear my friends railing now about the fact that I jump into things too quickly and yes, she has already moved in with me. But, really, I do think she’s THE ONE. Before you get all hot and bothered, let me introduce you. Dear reader, this is LELO Elise.

    Note: Apparently I’m loving LELO reviews again this month (last week’s EP was LELO Ella)! I’ve read many many Elise reviews so they have to be special in order for them to catch my eye or make me want to finish them, and this one is written in an extremely entertaining manner so even if you’re burned out on LELO reviews like I thought I was it’s definitely worth the read.

HNT – Shoes

Posted on November 19, 2009 by Sammi| 5 Comments

I decided to take a break from my tattoo pictures to show off a cool pair of shoes.  In addition to a sex addict, I’m a shoe addict as well.  So here’s a picture of me in my black-and-whites.  I even went with black nail polish on my toes.  Enjoy!
