The Pirates of Pendants

Discreet, functional toys are always fun, and who doesn’t like Pirates? The thought of Errol Flynn in numerous roles, Charlton Heston as Long John Silver, or Johnny Depp all done up as Captain Jack Sparrow can make me weak in the knees. Even Pirate musicals can set me swooning. And when I play dress-up as a pirate wench, we go all out with costume, bandannas, play sword, and shackles and jewelry. Costume jewelry can be a lot of fun like this, and jewelry that has a hidden function? Count me in! Enter the Pirates Pendant Vibe from Digital Playground, which I received to review from EdenFantasys.

The pendant comes in a clear plastic box through which you can see a stormy sea, and the back has some product information. The box is easy to open. The pendant comes in pink or copper. I got the copper one which is bright and shiny, and it really does look just like costume decorative jewelry.

The Pendant Vibe is about 2 1/2″ long and just under 1” in diameter. It somewhat resembles an elongated acorn. While it can be vaginally inserted up to 1 1/2″, it’s a lot more fun to use clitorally. It should never be used anally – even though it’s on a chain, if the chain were to snap it would be lost in an instant.

The design covering the bullet is cute. It features reliefs of skulls and crossbones, crossed swords, and other swashbuckling designs. The matching copper chain is composed of small beads and is about 27” long. I found this a good length on me – it allowed the pendant to hang between my breasts. The chain is held together by a simple clasp at the back, and it can be shortened if necessary by cutting off some of the beads for the perfect length. The pendant hangs from the chain and is on a swivel hook so it won’t get tangled and it can also be removed from the chain if you desire. This swivel hook is also the button that controls the pendant’s functions.

I was pleasantly surprised to find that this toy had five vibration settings, accessed by pushing down on the swivel hook. The speeds are
- low and steady
- high and steady
- medium pulse pattern
- fast pulse pattern
- two short and 1 long pulse pattern

The vibrations are buzzy and not deep, but more than enough to get me off. They are also fairly quiet – a bit of background noise will provide adequate cover.

The pendant runs on 3 watch batteries, which are included. They come pre-inserted in the bullet, so you’ll want to unscrew the cap and remove the paper piece so the bullet will start up. The batteries have a decent lifespan. To save battery life, you can replace the piece of paper or remove the batteries when you don’t plan to use this.

This toy is made of plastic, so it’s phthalates-free, body safe, latex free and hypoallergenic. It’s also non-porous. It’s easy to clean, simply wipe with a damp soapy cloth and wipe off with water, or you can also use your favorite toy cleaner. If necessary, water-based, silicone, and oil based lubes are safe to use.

This pendant is splash proof but not waterproof, so don’t take it in the tub or it will be joining other fallen waterlogged and dead toys in Davy Jones’ Locker.

So, Does It Work? It does! I love how this vibrator really looks like costume jewelry and can be worn discreetly out and about nestled between my breasts. I also love the coppery color!

Since the button is on the top where it attaches to the chain, there’s no chance of turning it on by mistake unless you press down on the button. And being able to wear this made it convenient and accessible when we were ready to play.

I was pleasantly surprised with the multiple vibration patterns. While I love strong clitoral vibrations, the patterns on this were fun, and even on the patterns the vibrations were strong enough to help me climax.

It would have been great if this were waterproof, as it seems like it would fit in more with the pirates/sea theme, but otherwise, this is a fun one that I think we’ll be using for some time to come.

  • With a name like that, you’d think that www.free-hardcore.com would be one of those dreadful porn aggregators, showing nothing more than row upon row of vacant-eyed, silicone-titted ‘teens’ engaged in the most banal of sexual acts. But it’s not.

    Note: A wonderful review of kink.com’s free content site, for those of us who love kink.com but don’t have a subscription. Maybe you already knew about this, but I, for one, was in the dark, and thought everyone should know. Not to mention I adore the beginning of the review.

Frosty Blue Persuasion

I love Tantus toys. Most of the toys I have from them, with a few noticeable exceptions like Hoss, are smooth and thin and typically they don’t vibrate. I’ve been enjoying some textures lately though, and I thought the Rascal O2 from EdenFantasys would be a good choice to try.

The Rascal comes in a simple plastic bag, and right away when I took it out I could tell it was going to be fun. It’s soft and super squishy – the kind of toy you want to squeeze like a stress ball. I love how flexible it is as well. The Rascal has gentle ridges that run from its rounded tip to its base for extra stimulation, and the surface has a matte finish with just a bit of drag. This toy has beautiful coloring, with a white tip that gradually darkens to an icy, frosted blue at the base.

This toy is on the short side – only 5 1/2″ long. It’s also 5 1/2” around (1 3/4″ diameter), so the Rascal is pleasantly filling without being too large. The base is wide at 3” in diameter and makes the Rascal O-ring compatible as well as safe for anal play.

The base contains a hole for a bullet to turn the Rascal into a vibrating delight. The bullet is silver and small, at 2 1/4″ long and just 3/4″ wide. It is easy to insert and remove from the Rascal without needing to apply any lubricant. The bullet only has one speed and is turned on and off by a push button on the bottom. It takes 3 watch batteries and produces strong, high, and buzzy vibrations that can be felt nicely throughout the length of the Rascal. The vibrations aren’t earth-shattering, but they are pleasant and create a nice buildup to climax over time.  They are also fairly quiet, and won’t be heard if you’ve got some background music on.  The bullet has an O-ring seal and is waterproof, so you can take the Rascal into the shower or tub for water play.

The Rascal is made of silicone, so it’s body safe, nonporous, hypoallergenic, and phthalates-free. It’s easy to clean: simply wash it (and the bullet) with antibacterial soap and rinse with warm water and pat dry. The Rascal without the bullet can also be run through the dishwasher on the top rack or boiled on the stove for 3 minutes. Its surface collects lint and hair like crazy, so the Rascal should be stored in a bag or box and cleaned before and after each use. Only water-based lubricants should be used.

So, Is It Worth It? Yes! I really love the way the Rascal feels. It’s filling without being too big, and the texture adds some decent stimulation.  I love that this vibrates as well! The Rascal also works in the Liberator Wing for hands-free vibrating fun, although it would work better if it were just a touch longer.

The Rascal is fun to use without the bullet as well. Its bullet hole fits over the Tantus Suction Cup securely so it can be mounted on the shower wall.  Because of its short length it doesn’t flop downwards off of the suction cup.

This is quite a fun toy! You can get a Rascal O2 for yourself from EdenFantasys by clicking on the widget below.

This is one of the more unusual colors of shoes I own.  I actually have stuff to match them – not a lot, but enough to make them fun.  Enjoy!
