That Thing You Do

Posted on September 15, 2014 | Comments Off on That Thing You Do

I have an amazing amount of rabbits (sometimes I think they’re breeding in the toy drawers to surprise me), some of which work better for me than others. Last month, I reviewed a compact rabbit; this month, as part of the Cal Exotics’ Sexpert program, I received the full size Entice Charlize rabbit for free to review.

charlizeboxThe Entice Charlize comes in a black box, with a picture of the toy on the front and product info on the sides and back.  Inside the box are Charlize, wrapped in plastic; a USB charging cord; and a general instruction pamphlet.

charlizesideCharlize comes in three colors: pink, raspberry, and purple. Mine arrived in purple, and it’s the signature Cal Exotics warm grape color. This rabbit is made of silicone, which is smooth, silky, and has very little drag to the touch. A gold accent panel lies around the silicone buttons – this panel is made of metallic-plated ABS plastic.

This is a full-sized rabbit, with clean and simple lines. Charlize measures about 7 1/2″ long overall when measured straight up and down, and she has 4” of insertable shaft. The shaft is just 1 1/2″ wide, and it’s widest on the head of the shaft. The shaft itself isn’t round, but more flattened, and the tip is tapered for easier insertion. It’s pretty flexible – except for the upper part where the shaft motor is situated.

charlizeclitflexCharlize has a a longer clit stimulator than many toys – it’s 2 1/4″ long overall, so it should work well for anyone, particularly those who have trouble with clit arms being too short. The arm is 1” wide and has a motor. It’s amazingly flexible, making it very easy to situate when Charlize is in use.

Charlize is rechargeable, and her charging port is on the very bottom of the base. The charging cord is easy to seat firmly into the base, and can then be attached to a computer USB port, or a USB wall adapter.  Red LED lights flash behind the buttons when Charlize is charging, and these lights go out when she’s been fully charged.

charlizebuttonsThis rabbit has two control buttons, located on the front of the base.  The bottom button is the power button, and turns both the shaft and clit arm on and off – when turned back on, Charlize always starts at the first pattern. The top button controls the vibration and patterns for the toy. When first pressed, both the shaft and clit arm motors start up with a steady, moderate vibration.

Pressing the pattern again turns Charlize’s shaft off, but leaves the clit arm on the moderate vibration. Pressing it a third time turns off the clit arm but turns the shaft on to steady, moderate vibration. After that, pressing the button controls both the shaft and clit arm motors, and there are pulsing, escalation, and a combination pattern, before Charlize will go to high, steady vibration. Pressing again, Charlize repeats, starting with the moderate vibrations. All of the vibrations are pretty quiet, and lean towards the buzzy side. They’re moderately strong, and travel well from each motor through the shaft and clit arm.

charlizechargeportCharlize is waterproof, so you can use her in the shower or tub.

This is an easy-to-clean rabbit: wash before and after use with an antibacterial soap and warm water, or use a toy cleaner or toy wipes. After drying, Charlize can be stored in her box, but a better bet would be a toybag. Water-based lube is recommended – if you want to use silicone lube, do a spot test towards the base before applying to the rest of the toy.

charlizeinhandSo, Did It Work? I like the look and feel of this rabbit – and I love the flexibility in the shaft and clit arm. Both the shaft and clit arm are easy to position and move with me, which I like. I also love the length of the clit arm on Charlize – it’s just the right length to hit me how I like, so I can get the pressure and direct stimulation on my clit. I also like that this one is quiet and waterproof.

I wish the vibrations were stronger on Charlize, or even a bit deeper – the high, steady vibrations are moderately strong, which is fine internally, but I could use them stronger clitorally. I am also a bit confused by two of the 7 settings – the shaft-only and clit arm-only options. Rabbits are, quite honestly, not vibrators that I use one or the other but not both. My preference is to have the shaft motor and clit arm motor separate, so I can set one on pulses and the other on steady vibrations, both on at the same time. These two settings on Charlize really do nothing for me at all.

Thank you to Cal Exotics for sending me the Entice Charlize for free in exchange for this review! If you like clean lines, moderate power, flexibility, and a longer clit arm on your rabbit, Charlize is a nice one to take a look at.

Cute and Compact

Posted on August 25, 2014 | Comments Off on Cute and Compact

I enjoy a good rabbit, although often they don’t work quite right for me. Usually it’s the clit stimulator that fails me, either because it’s too short, or it isn’t strong enough. While most of the rabbits I have are long as well as wide, I’ve also been exploring some of the more compact ones. This month, as part of the Cal Exotics’ Sexpert program, I received the Entice Natalie rabbit vibrator for free to review.

natboxThe Entice Natalie comes in a black cardboard box, with a picture of the toy on the front and product information on the sides and back. Inside, Natalie is wrapped in plastic, and a general manual is also included. The vibrator is available in pink, raspberry, and purple, and I received mine in pink.

natfromsideThis is a short vibrator, but not a thin one. Natalie is just 6 1/2” long overall, with 4” insertable. Her shaft is curved with bulges around the head and lower shaft, and a swirl with a pronounced ridge run down her sides. The head of the shaft is the widest, at 1 1/2” in diameter, and it narrows in the middle before widening above the base.

The clitoral stimulator is 2” long and about 1” in diameter. It’s shaped like a rabbit, with separated ears to spread the vibrations, and a pronounced nose and small tummy bulge for contact.

The shaft and stimulator are covered with a silicone that’s smooth to the touch, with virtually no drag. The surface is firm yet doesn’t feel rigid. The shaft is flexible at its narrowest point, and the clitoral stimulator can also flex outward for positioning. Both the shaft and stimulator contain motors, and both are controlled together.

natbatteryNatalie runs on 2 AAA batteries, which are inserted into the base of the toy. The cap, which is PU-coated ABS plastic, matches the color of the silicone, and can be removed by pressing the tab in and lifting. The battery compartment has a slip of paper inside which indicates the battery direction. When the cap is snapped securely back onto Natalie’s base, the toy is waterproof and can be used in the tub.

natinhandTwo control buttons are located on the front of the shaft below the clitoral stimulator. Both buttons are clearly labeled and covered with silicone.The top button is a dedicated on/off button, and the bottom button controls the vibrations and patterns of both the shaft and stimulator. Natalie always starts on low, steady vibration, and has three steady vibration patterns and seven pulsing and escalatiing patterns.

The vibrations are moderate in both the shaft and stimulator, and they’re quiet – you won’t hear Natalie being used if there’s any kind of background sound.

Natalie is easy to clean, and should be washed before and after use with warm water and antibacterial soap, or you can use toy wipes or spray. Once dried, it can be stored in its box or in a toy bag. Water-based lube is recommended, but if you’d rather use silicone, do a spot test towards the base of the shaft before applying it to the toy.

nataloneSo, Did It Work? I like the overall design of Natalie. She’s compact, but her shaft isn’t small like many compact vibes. She’s easy to insert when lubed up, and with her curved shaft and shape, she’s nicely filling. The motor in the shaft is strong enough for me for internal vibrations, and many of the patterns are enjoyable. The flexibility of both the shaft and stimulator make it easier to position her.

Natalie’s clitoral stimulator is cute, but it could be a bit longer for me. The tips of the ears tickle my clit during use, but I’d much rather have the nose hit my clit dead on so I could apply a bit more pressure. As it is, the ears provide some pressure, but not quite enough – I’d rather have them dancing above or around my clit. Since the vibrations are only moderately strong, there’s not quite enough power on my clit to make me easily orgasm.

Thank you to Cal Exotics for sending me the Entice Natalie vibrator for free to review! If you like more compact rabbits, enjoy a thicker shaft, and don’t need a longer clitoral stimulator or very strong vibrations clitorally, the Natalie would be a nice choice.

Hot Fun In The Summertime

Posted on June 16, 2014 | Comments Off on Hot Fun In The Summertime

June marks the beginning of summer, although it seems like the weather’s already arrived. Lots of rabbits are running around outside, and Cal Exotics has new rabbits for inside as well. This month, as part of their Sexpert program, I received the Entice Katharine for free in exchange for this review.

kathboxThe Entice Katharine comes in a black cardboard box, with a picture of the product on the front and product information on the sides and back. The toy comes in 3 colors – pink, raspberry, and purple. My Katharine came in raspberry, and it’s a rich purplish pink color. Inside the box are the vibrator and a USB charging cord, as well as a general instruction sheet.

kathoutofboxKatharine is a nicely-sized silicone rabbit.  She’s 8 1/2” long overall, with about 4” insertable. Her shaft is covered with smooth, non-tacky silicone, and she has a gently curved shape. Several waves run down her sides adding to her aesthetic – these don’t add to the internal sensation, but give her a sleek, modern look. The tip of the shaft is rounded and slightly tapered for easier insertion, and there’s a slight bulge for G-spot stimulation. The shaft is just 1 1/4” wide, great for those who don’t like girthier rabbits, and narrows slightly towards the base.

kathflexclitThe clitoral arm is a small rabbit that has a nose bump, which may hit your clit directly on, and two separated ears. This arm is 2 1/4” long and about 1” wide. The arm is flexible away from the shaft, which aids in positioning.

Katharine is a rechargeable rabbit, and she charges via USB – you can plug her into your computer, or into a USB wall port for charging. The charging contacts are magnetic, and the two contacts attach over Katharine’s control buttons. The charger only attaches one way to the toy, and it snaps on securely – it doesn’t tend to come unattached. When charging, a white light flashes around the buttons, and it glows steadily when Katharine is fully charged.

kathchargebuttonsThis rabbit is controlled by two buttons which are located below the clit arm. The buttons are surrounded by a metal-plated ABS ring. The top button controls the clit stimulator, and the bottom button controls the shaft. Each button must be pressed for 3 seconds to turn the motor on, and three seconds to turn it off.  The vibration patterns are the same in both motors: 3 steady vibrations (low, medium, and high), and 5 pulse patterns. The vibrations are strong, and are on the buzzy side. They’re concentrated below the tip in the shaft (they can be felt farther down the shaft, but are much weaker) and in the main part of the bunny on the clit arm (and they do travel well through the ears). No light indicates when just the clit arm is turned on, but a white light and a red light both glow when the shaft is on.

kathchargingWhat makes Katharine unique from other rabbits is that she warms during use. The sensation is most pronounce in the top part of the shaft, and the shaft warms up to 104 degrees Farenheit when it’s turned on.

Katharine is waterproof, so she’s great to take into the bath.

This rabbit is easy to clean before and after use with antibacterial soap and water, or you can use toy wipes or toy cleaner. She doesn’t pick up a lot of lint, and can be stored in a toy bag – the box can be used, but it won’t hold up over time. Water-based lube is recommended, but if you prefer silicone, do a spot test near the bottom of Katharine to make sure there’s no reaction.

kathaloneSo, Did It Work? Katharine is a fun little rabbit, and I’d recommend her. Her vibrations are pretty strong, and even though they’re on the buzzy side, they’re strong enough to bring me to orgasm. I usually don’t use patterns for clit stimulation, but internally I really enjoyed the pulses. The clit arm is just a bit too short to hit my clit with its nose bump, but the ears reach just fine. I like that the motors are controlled separately, so I can have the patterns inside and the steady vibrations on my clit.

I could feel the tip of the shaft warming inside, and the amount it warmed depended on if I was using the steady vibrations or the pulses. I don’t know if it reached 104 degrees, but it was pleasantly warm during use.

I also really like the charging plug this comes with. Some magnetic ones I have for other toys are really finicky – you have to position the charger on the right area, and then fiddle with the angle to keep the logo lit and the toy charging. And there’s nothing worse than thinking you’ve charged a toy, then finding out that it hasn’t charged at all. With Katharine’s charger, it snaps securely to the toy, keeping it in place and charging without worry.

Thank you to Cal Exotics for sending me the Entice Katharine for free to review! If you’re interested in the Cal Exotics’ Entice line you can check them out (Katharine is not available as yet) at PinkCherry.com.

Some Enchanted Evening

Posted on November 15, 2013 | Comments Off on Some Enchanted Evening

The holidays are fast approaching, and it’s hard to believe the end of the year is almost here! It’s the time of year I’m looking for gifts, including some for my more adventurous friends. This month, as part of the Cal Exotics’ Sexpert program, I got to review the Enchanted Thrusting Elle, one of three new Enchanted rabbit vibrators, which I received for free in exchange for this unbiased review.

rabbitboxThe Enchanted Thrusting Elle comes in a plastic box, and is visible through the front and side. Product information is on the back and bottom of the box. Inside, the Elle rests in a plastic formed tray.

rabbitaloneElle is quite pretty.  The tip of the shaft is clear and reveals the beads and thruster underneath the scentless, phthalates-free TPE material – the clitoral arm is also clear TPE. Underneath the clear sleeve, the shaft and base, as well as the bullet in the clit arm, are a metallic blue ABS plastic.

Like many rabbits, Elle is quite large. It measures 10 ½” long overall, with about 5” insertable. The shaft is about 1 2/3” in diameter. Three rows of stainless steel beads surround the shaft in a 1 ½” long area.

The clit arm is shaped like a large-eared elephant, complete with trunk. It’s about 2” long on the side that will nestle next to your body, and about 3” wide with its ears spread (the arm without the wings is about 1” wide.

rabbitbatteryThe bottom of the base unscrews to access the battery compartment. Elle takes 4 AA batteries, which are inserted into a removable tray. The tray should be reinserted with the contacts on the tray and the inside of the battery compartment aligned. An O-ring sits below the threads, and the Elle can be used in the tub, but make sure you twist the cap on securely first before submerging it in water. The batteries should be removed after use to preserve their life – they can be kept in the plastic tray, if desired.

rabbitcontrolThe control panel features 4 control buttons, and each has a corresponding LED light. The top button controls the 7 functions of the clit arm, and glows/flashes in green, yellow, or red depending on the strength. Pressing this button once turns the clit arm on, and holding it for 2 seconds turns it off. The clit arm has the following functions:

– Low and steady
– Medium and steady
– High and steady
– Flutters low to high
– Pulses
– Faster pulses
– 3 short one long pulse

The two bottom buttons, labeled with a down arrow and an up arrow, control the speed of the beads. Pressing the right, or up arrow, starts the beads moving inside the shaft. Pressing it two more times increases the speed of the rotation/movement.Pressing the left, or down arrow, slows down the rotation and also stops the beads.

The middle button switches the rotation direction of the shaft.

Elle doesn’t have a memory setting, so the clit arm will always start on the low and steady vibration, while the shaft beads will start moving in a counterclockwise direction.

RabbitinhandThe Elle doesn’t thrust from the tip – the tip is actually stationary. What makes Elle unique, and creates a very unique sensation against the vaginal wall, is the movement of the beads both around, and up and down, the shaft. Elle manages to create a fairly unique sensation by the motion of the beads.

Elle is fairly quiet – its sound will easily be muffled by background music or the television, and it won’t be heard from behind closed doors.

Elle is easy to clean, and should be washed both before and after use with antibacterial soap and water. Toy cleaner or wipes can also be used.  Once dry, Elle can be stored in a large toy bag. Only water-based lube should be used.

So, Did It Work? I was really looking forward to trying out Elle – I have a vibrator that thrusts (the Eins), and was curious how the Elle would work. I could see the mechanism inside, and was still thinking the tip thrust up and down before I put in the batteries. When I turned it on, I could see the piece inside going up and down, but the tip didn’t move.  And then I noticed the beads. I do have a few rabbits with beads, and they only go around the shaft in a circle. But with Elle, the beads go up and down as they spin around the shaft.  When inserted, I could feel them going up and down, and it’s definitely different than the straight-around beads, which tend not to stimulate me so much after a while. The motion of the beads, although it’s not over a large distance, feels great and is a lot more stimulating. I liked them better in the counter-clockwise direction (maybe my vagina is left-handed like me, who knows?), but in either direction I really enjoyed the sensation. It’s not thrusting, but the up and down feels different, and pleasant.

The beads rotate on 3 different speeds. I like my toys, in general on high speeds unless I’ve had an orgasm or two, but the rotation felt good on all three. I did find that on the low rotation speed that I could completely stop the beads by squeezing, but I couldn’t on the medium or high.

rabbitelephantaloneThe length of Elle’s clit arm is just right for me, and I love how the elephant’s ears spread the vibrations out while the bullet makes direct contact. The trunk vibrates like crazy as well, and the vibration strength is strong .

The controller is pretty easy to use, once you remember which button controls what part.  The buttons aren’t hard to press, and I like that the shaft and clit arm are controlled separately.  It’s easy to kick back and let Elle work its magic to get me to orgasm.

Thank you to Cal Exotics for sending me the Enchanted Thrusting Elle for free to review as part of their Sexpert program! If you like larger diameter rabbits and like rabbits with moving beads, Elle is definitely one to try. I think you’ll like how the beads on this one work to create a very different sensation. Two other styles of Enchanted Thrusting rabbits are also available, in different colors and differently shaped clit arms: the Bunny, which comes in metallic pink, and the Butterfly, which comes in metallic purple.
