I love Pin Up girl art, whether vintage or more recent. I think they express a lot of exuberance and radiate fun. When the Pin Ups Collectible Gift Set became available at Babeland, I knew I had to get my hands on one.
The Pin Ups Collectible Gift Set comes in a small, clear plastic case with the tin visible through the front. The back of the plastic has some information about the kit contents. There are 3 Pin Ups sets, featuring Nancy, Betty, and Ruby, and each has a different colored Super Sparkle bullet. I received the Nancy tin, which comes with a silver bullet (Betty’s is gold, and Ruby’s is red).
The tin is about 4 1/4″ by 3 1/4″, and black. The front has Nancy in a cute little black and pink outfit, and the words “Pin Ups” as well. The back is solid black. Inside the tin are the Super Sparkle Bullet, Bombshell Balm, and an extra N battery resting in foam. The foam is removable. The tin is really cute, and could be used to store other small items than the vibrator and balm.
The Bombshell balm is in a cute round tin that looks like a lip gloss container. It has a picture of Ruby on the front (this seems to be the same no matter which tin you get). The balm fills about 1/2 the container, and is white. It has a waxy surface, but rubs out oily onto your finger. It has a pleasant citrus scent, which isn’t super strong but is noticeable.
The balm is used to increase the sensitivity of your clit with cooling sensation. Simply work your finger around the surface of the balm (you’ll have to apply pressure to get enough to use), then apply on and around your clit, or apply it to the bullet before using it. This balm is a cooling balm, and not super strong, but you will definitely feel the sensation.
The balm contains Sweet Almond Oil, Grape seed Oil, Beeswax, Shea Butter, Capric Triglyceride, Cacao Butter, Peppermint Oil, Tocopheryl Acetate, Propylparaben, Soybean Oil, Jojoba Seed Oil, Tocopherol, Avocado Oil, Isopropyl Acetate, Bisabolol, phenoxyethenol, Wheat Bran Extract, Matricacaria Flower Extract, Fucus Vesiculosus Extract, Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract, BHT, Linoleic Acid, Limonene, and Linalool.
The bullet I got is silver, and it’s shiny and textured. It’s 3 1/4″ long and about 1/2″ wide, with 2 1/4″ that could be inserted. The bottom unscrews and the bullet holds 1 N battery. One is already inserted with a paper between the battery bottom and the connector in the cap – an extra battery is provided. An O-ring sits between the body and cap to make this waterproof and safe for use in the bath or tub. Make sure to twist the cap securely closed, or water will seep into the battery compartment.
The bottom has a black push button that cycles through 3 speeds: low, medium, and high vibrations. The vibrations are buzzy, and moderately strong. While the bullet is pretty noisy when it’s not in contact with you, when it is the sound is diminished and the vibe can’t be easily heard. It’s made of Metallic-coat ABS Plastic, and can be cleaned with antibacterial soap and warm water. Silicone or water-based lubricants can be used.
So, Did It Work? I adore the tin for this set! I love the pin-up artwork on the front, and it makes a great storage container for small items. The balm is interesting. This is the first cooling type of clitoral stimulation product I’ve tried (I just recently tried a warming one), and it’s quite a different sensation. It’s a bit tingly, and not unpleasant. What I wasn’t crazy about was trying to get it out of the container. My finger worked okay by pushing in to get a dab, but I couldn’t get enough by just running my finger on the surface like I had hoped. Using the actual bullet did make it easier, but I found it worked better if I rubbed it in versus leaving it on the bullet end. I’m not sure that it made me more sensitive, but it felt cooling and different. I am hoping that as I use more out of the tin, it will be easier to get out.
The bullet in this kit works pretty well. It’s not super strong, but it has decent enough power, especially when used with other toys. The texture was more noticeable in my hand then during use, which was fine by me. The battery life is pretty decent, and I love that you get a spare!
