What About B.O.B.?

I have a pretty large collection of vibrators and dildos, most of which aren’t terribly realistic. I like realistic ones, particularly for dildos, and a suction cup is always a bonus! I’d been looking at a new brand called Pink B.O.B, and they were kind enough to send me the Ultra Real Suction Cup Dildo to try out for free, in exchange for an unbiased review.

Although B.O.B. does stand for what you think it does, they do make and sell a lot of non-battery operated toys. The dildo that I received came in a plain pink box with just the product name and some information on the back. Inside, it was sealed in plastic.

This is a nice looking dildo, and it’s a good size for me. It’s about 8” long overall, from the tip to the bottom of the suction cup, with 6” of insertable length, and it’s a nice 1.5” in diameter (4.75” circumference). It looks pretty realistic, and has a nice veined texture down the shaft as well as a well-defined head. The shaft is quite flexible, and I could bend it almost in half (it went right back to it’s normal shape when I let go). The dildo also has a curve, allowing it to hit your g-spot when thrusting.

The suction cup holds well on a flat, dry surface and really holds firm. It works on chairs, tables, shower walls – just about anything you can imagine that has a smooth texture. The suction cup is great for hands-free use, and it’s also great to hold on to while thrusting (holding onto the well-defined balls works as well). The cup also works well in my fucking machine and stays in place securely when it’s in motion.

The box doesn’t list the material, but the website says it’s 100% silicone. It is, indeed, odorless and flavorless, and it doesn’t have an oily feel. It feels soft and silky. The silicone is dual-layered, so it has the soft outer skin over a firmer but flexible inner.

You will want to use a good water-based lube when using this dildo, to make insertion and use easier. It’s easy to clean after play with soap and water or a toy cleaner.

 

Thank you to TooTimid for sending me this to review! I really like this dildo. It’s a great size, feels good, and is easy to use. If you’ve been looking for a realistic dildo that’s made of a body-safe material and has a suction cup to boot, you can pick one up at PinkBob.com, or at TooTimid by clicking the widget below.

 

Review: Cloud 9 Power Touch Bullet

It’s been a while since I added a new toy to my collection – but it’s definitely about time! I recently had the opportunity to try out the Power Touch Personal Wireless Bullet from the Cloud 9 Pro Sensual Series. It’s a bullet vibrator with remote control, and TooTimid sent this to me for free in exchange for an unbiased review.

The Power Touch comes in 3 colors: purple, pink, and teal, and I received mine in teal. It’s a bright, pretty color, and one of my favorites for a sex toy. This bullet and remote set comes with a USB charging cord, a small storage bag, and an instruction card. The storage bag is large enough to hold everything and keep it all together.

The bullet itself is decently sized at 4 1/2” long, and it’s insertable to 4”. It has a flared base which makes it easy to hold on to when you’re using it, and it’s made of silicone, so it’s body safe and phthalate free – a must for my toys. It’s easy to clean with antibacterial soap and some water, or a toy cleaner, both before and after use. The bullet is waterproof, so you can use it in the shower or tub, but the remote isn’t, so it should stay on dry land. The tip is rounded, making it easy to insert if you want to use it internally and also pleasant to use on your clit. A large power button is on the bottom of the base, and the charging port is located on the side.

A full charge takes about 4 hours, and the power button will blink while the bullet is charging. Once charged, the bullet will run for about 1 1/2 hours of use. This does charge more slowly than other rechargeables I’ve had, but I charge it after I use it so it’s ready to go the next time I’m ready.

The remote is small and made of plastic, giving it a shiny look. It has one button on the top, and the back has a removable panel where the battery is located. This remote uses a standard CR2032 watch battery. The range of operation is about 30 feet with no instructions, so you can give it to your partner to tease you from some distance away. Of course, it also works well for you to control the bullet!

The Power Touch is easy to operate, and can be used without the remote. Pressing the button on the bullet for 3 seconds turns the bullet on and makes it ready for use. The LED light behind the button will glow, letting you know its on. Then, press the power button once to start the vibrations, and press again to cycle through the patterns and levels. There are 3 steady vibration modes (low, medium, and high), and 7 pattern modes, and the LED light under the button glows and pulses to the mode. To stop the vibrations and turn off the vibrator without the remote, press and hold the power button for 3 seconds.

Using the remote is pretty straightforward. You’ll still press the bullet’s button for 3 seconds to turn it on, but then you’ll press the button on the remote to cycle through the modes. Pressing the remote’s button for 3 seconds again will stop the vibrations, and then you’ll need to press the bullet’s power button to turn its power off. If you don’t hold the button down for 3 seconds on the bullet, the vibrations will start up again.

The vibrations are nicely strong for a vibrator of this size, and they’re more throbby than buzzy. They feel great on your clit, and they feel good internally too. The bullet is pretty quiet – you can’t hear it if you’ve got the tv or some music on.

I like using this on the steady vibrations clitorally and turning on the patterns internally – my clit likes steady and strong vibrations, but I’ve found that the patterns in general feel better inside. While the vibrations aren’t the strongest I’ve ever felt, they’re certainly strong enough to do the job for me. The tip of the bullet is just the right size to hit and tease my clit, and I like using this bullet on my clit to start out, then internally, and then finish on the high setting so I can orgasm. I didn’t have any trouble with the bullet staying charged, and I like using this with the remote when I’m using it inside. I also like that this is travel safe, and it’s unlikely to turn on in my suitcase.

Thank you to TooTimid for sending me the Power Bullet to review! If you’d like to give this one a try, you can pick one up at TooTimid.com by clicking the link below.

 

How Deep Is Beauty?

I love Jopen toys. While my favorite line is the Vanity line, I’ve enjoyed vibrators from their Key, Lust, and Envy lines as well. This year, one of the new lines Jopen introduced was Callie, and I received Jopen’s Callie Dual Massager Vibrator (part of the new Callie line) from Good Vibrations for free to review.

rabbitinboxThe Callie Dual Massager Vibrator, which is a rabbit style, comes in a white and gold box, with the toy visible through the front and product information on the back. Inside the box are the toy, USB charging cable, and general information booklet. The box is fine for storing the toy and charging cable together, or you can use a toybag. You will want to keep the cable with this one.

rabbitoutofbox

This rabbit-style vibrator is made of a creamy white silicone, and it’s quite pretty. The silicone is smooth with very little drag. The toy is about 7 3/4” long overall, and the shaft rabbitinhandis 6 “ insertable. It has a tapered tip for easy insertion (you’ll want to use your favorite water-based lube), and at its widest is 1 3/4” in diameter. The clit stimulator is about 2” long and 3/4” wide. It’s flexible, and easy to position.  Both the tip of the shaft and the clit stimulator have motors in them.

rabbitchargeportThe charging port for this vibrator is hidden, but easy to access. The gold base (made of ABS plastic with metallic plating) can be twisted open to access the port. Unlike other USB chargeable toys that I have, this uses a rabbitpluggedinmicro-USB to USB connection, with the micro-USB port inside the base. It takes about 2 hours to charge the vibrator (it will glow red while charging), and it will run for about 50 minutes on high or 1 1/2 hours on low when fully charged.

The bottom of the base has a large acrylic gemstone button to control the basic functions of the toy. Pressing and holding the button for about 3 seconds will turn the vibrator on or off. Once on, pressing the button will cycle through 7 functions of steady vibrations, pulsation patterns,and escalation patterns.

rabbitbaseEach function of this vibrator has 5 intensities from low to high. Instead of more buttons, however, the controls for changing the intensity are located on one side of the toy, right above the base. The controls are a “+” and a “-“, and they are indented into the material.  The indentations are tricky to locate when you have the vibrator inserted; you can squeeze both sides to increase or decrease the intensity.

rabbitbuttonsThis vibrator is quite strong on the high settings, and somewhat loud – you’ll want to have some background music on to hide the sound. It’s completely waterproof, so you can take it into the tub and play.

Like all silicone, waterproof toys, this is easy to clean with antibacterial soap and water, toy cleaner, or wipes. You can store this in its box, or in a toy bag.

rabbitflexSo, Did It Work? The Callie Dual Massager Vibrator has some good points.  The motors in both the shaft and clit stimulator are strong and well placed (although I don’t think they’re quite aa strong as the Vanity line). The clit arm is long, and flexible, and is easy to position where I need it. I like the simplicity of the single button for controlling the vibration pattern as well as the on/off, and I like several of the vibration patterns.

I have mixed feelings about the charging port location. I’m not crazy about having to remove the base to get to the port (because I lose things), although this probably makes the port more waterproof than otherwise.

rabbittipWhat I’m least fond of are the “+” and “-“ for controlling the speed. Because they’re indented and not raised, they’re hard to find – almost impossible for me to actually feel – when using this toy. I can squeeze around the base, but it’s tricky when I’ve got this vibrator inserted, and soemtimes I squeeze too high or too low and change the speed the direction I don’t want to go.

Squeeze For A Cause

Last month, Cal Exotics announced Inspire, a new line of products created to support Living Beyond Breast Cancer, a non-profit organization. Proceeds from the Inspire line are being donated to support this group, and products in the Inspire line include wands, teasers, a dilator kit, breast massager, and kegel exercisers. In addition to the Vibrating Ultimate Wand, which I reviewed recently, I also received the Vibrating Remote Kegel Exerciser for free to review.  Why exercise your kegels? Doing kegel exercises strengthens pelvic control, and they’re easy to do. They’re fun to do, too, with an exerciser.

kegelinboxThe Vibrating Remote Kegel Exerciser from Cal Exotics comes in a clear plastic box, with the toy and remote both visible. The box sits inside a cardboard bottom box, which has product information on the sides and back. Inside the box are the egg with retrieval cord, its remote, a USB charging cord, R&TTE (European compliance) statement card, general instructions for Cal Exotics’ toys, and instructions for this toy’s use.

kegeloutofboxLike all products in the Inspire line, the Kegel Exerciser is a pretty, pale bubblegum pink. The insertable exerciser is covered with s smooth, soft silicone, and is waterproof, while the remote is ABS plastic with a PU cote.

kegelinhandThe egg-shaped exerciser is about 7 1/2” long overall, including the cord (the body is about 3” long). The cord is silicone, and part of the body, so it’s easier to clean than other insertables. It’s somewhat stretchy, and easy to remove the exerciser with.

The egg itself is about 1 1/2” in diameter. The silicone has some give, and the tip of the toy is tapered, and also squishy. It’s very easy to insert (you’ll want to use a bit of water-based lubricant), and stays in place where you put it. It has a button towards the lower half of the egg, which must pressed to turn the exerciser on – not vibrating, but ready to receive signals from the remote.  It can also be inserted and used without any vibration, or you can set the vibration speed without the remote by pressing and holding the button for 2 seconds, then pressing it to cycle through the functions (pressing for 2 seconds will turn it off). The exerciser is rechargeable, and the charging port is on the opposite side of the egg.

remoteinhandThe remote is about 3” long and 1 1/2” wide, and it’s small and easy to hold. One of the coolest things about the remote is that it is rechargeable too! If there’s one thing I find annoying with remote-controlled toys, it’s that that remotes usually take an odd-sized battery, and it always dies at an inopportune time. The charging port is on the end, and the USB charging cable provided has 2 jacks, so both the remote and exerciser can be charged at the same time. This is awesome!  It takes about 2 1/2 hours for a full charge, and then the exerciser will run for 30 minutes on high, and 1 1/2 hours on low.

The remote has 3 buttons on the front to control the exerciser. Once you’ve pressed the button on the egg and inserted it, you can turn it on by pressing the middle button and holding it for 2 seconds. The top and bottom buttons will cycle through the patterns – there are 10 in all, including steady vibration, pulsing patterns, and escalations – either forwards or backwards. This is great, as you can easily go back to the pattern you like if you pass it without having to go through all of them. You can increase the vibration speed by pressing and holding the top button (on the opposite end of the charging port), and decrease it by pressing and holding the bottom button. You can turn off the exerciser by pressing the middle button for 2 seconds. The remote has a range of about 16 feet.

kegelcharge2The vibrations are moderately strong and more on the buzzy side. They’re very quiet, so you can use the exerciser pretty much anywhere with no one being the wiser.

This is easy to clean (warm water and antibacterial soap, or a toy cleaner), and also easy to store – it’s best to store in a toybag with the remote and charging cord.

So, Did It Work? This is a fun exerciser! I love vibrating eggs, and this one is quiet, decently strong, makes me want to squeeze my kegels, and has a great variety of functions. I like that the retrieval cord is part of the egg and silicone. The remote buttons are pretty cool – being able to cycle back and forth makes it easier to find the pattern I want to use. And what I really love is that the remote is rechargeable – and can be charged with the exerciser. No more digging for N or watch batteries when the remote dies.

Ultimately Satisfying

Summer is upon us, and it’s a great time to try out new sex toys! In May, Cal Exotics announced a new line of products called Inspire, which they created to support the non-profit organization called Living Beyond Breast Cancer. They are also donating proceeds from the items in this line to this organization. It’s a great cause, and a great way to help support this organization!  Inspire products include a Breast Massager, Kegel exercisers and trainers, wands, a teaser, and a dilator kit, and I received the Vibrating Ultimate Wand (in addition to the Kegel Exerciser, which I will be reviewing later) to for free to review.

wandinboxThe Inspire Vibrating Ultimate Wand comes in a clear plastic box, with a bottom white and pink cardboard 1/2 box that it sits inside. white The toy is visible through the clear upper half of the box, and product information is included on the back of the box bottom. Inside the box are the wand, a USB charging cable, a general instruction booklet, and an information sheet about products in the Inspire line.

wandoutofboxThis wand comes in pale pink, and it’s a nice, pale, bubble gum color. The entire wand is covered in this pink silicone (even the neck area), and it has just a bit of give all over its surface. The wand is what I’d call medium-sized, at 8 1/2” long. The head size is about 1 3/4” in diameter, so it’s nice and big, and easy to position to cover your clit and surrounding areas.

The Ultimate Wand is rechargeable, and the charge port is located on the bottom of the wand’s handle. It takes 2 1/2 hours to completely charge, and the wand should be charged before the first use.

wandinhandThe wand is controlled by two buttons. The top button is the on/off button, and the bottom button cycles through the patterns. This also has a locking feature, making it great for traveling. To unlock, press and hold the top button for 2 seconds – red LED lights under the buttons will flash. Then, pressing and releasing the top button will turn the wand on. Pressing the bottom button will cycle through 10 patterns, which include 3 steady vibration modes, and 7 pulse patterns. To turn the wand off, press the top button once.  To lock the wand, once it’s off, press and hold the top button for 2 seconds – the lights will flash, letting you know it’s locked.

This wand runs for about 1 1/2 hours on high speed, and about 3 hours on low speed. The vibrations are pretty rumbly, and they’re quite strong, but also fairly quiet – any background noise will mute the fact that you’re using this. The Ultimate Wand is waterproof, so it’s great to take into the shower or tub. You can use water-based lube if necessary.

wandheadsizeSince it’s waterproof, and also since it’s covered in silicone, the Ultimate Wand is easy to clean – you can use antibacterial soap and warm water, a toy cleaner, or wipes. It can be stored with its charging cable in a toy bag or box (the box it comes in isn’t ideal for storage).

So, Did It Work? I really love this wand. One thing that always drives me nuts with wand vibrators is that the head where it joins the toy’s neck always has access for water, making it unusable in the tub and also making it more difficult to clean. The Ultimate Wand doesn’t have this head/neck separation – it’s nice and smooth, and covered with silicone, so there’s wandchargeportno worry cleaning that water will get in, plus it’s now good for water play. I like that it has the locking feature, which many of the wands I have do not. And I love the vibrations! They’re strong, pretty rumbly, and there’s a variety of patterns that I really enjoy. The running time is enough for a session or two, and it doesn’t take too long to recharge, which is another plus. The only improvement would be for a storage bag to be included, as the box really isn’t a good way to store this.

Thank you to Cal Exotics for sending me the Inspire Vibrating Ultimate Wand for free to review! If you like strong wand vibrators that are rechargeable, and enjoy silicone toys that you can use in or out of the water, this is definitely one to check out! Plus, it’s a great way to support the Living Beyond Breast Cancer organization. You can pick up an Ultimate Wand of your own at SheVibe by clicking on the widget below.
